Important Announcement – 10/5/16

Posted on by

On September 20th, I was finally able to get some closure on a two-year ongoing struggle with one of my publishers who was partaking in some very questionable dealings in regards to royalties. Which means that by the end of 2016, I will have the rights returned on the following books:

Ragged Edge
Reclaiming the Edge
Edge of Need
Taking Over Me
Rock Your Soul
Break Me In
Glad You Came
Chasing Sin

I have some time to decide what to do with these books, and I’m working on a plan to turn them around to get them back out and available to readers. Six full-length novels (four of which are an entire series), one novella and one short are a lot to juggle so it’s going to take me a little bit to sort things out since I’m only one person. 🙂

When I have a plan in place, I will certainly keep this space updated!

In some way, despite all the struggle and hassle this particular process has been, it is also bittersweet. I was elated when I signed Ragged Edge with Ellora’s Cave. This awesome, fantastic publisher wanted to publish my book. And in a few ways, that choice was a game changer. Ragged Edge earned me PAN status with RWA, something I was convinced I would never attain. I met my awesome editor who I worked with for 10 books. She made me work, and work damn hard, to make my books fabulous. Pulling things from me that I didn’t even know I was capable of. I met some dear friends at Romanticon the couple of times I attended and had a great time.

It’s been quite a ride! But I’m looking forward to starting a new chapter with these books. I had plans for continuing the Body Masters series (Xavier! Diane!) and spinning off the Geek Kink series (Dade’s brothers!) and now I can dig those synopses and partials back out!!

New Release – Glad You Came (Geek Kink #4)

Posted on by

It’s release day! The last of the Geek Kink series, Glad You Came, is now available. Because of some changes taking place with the publisher, I don’t have a timeline for when the book will be available at places like Amazon, Barnes & Noble, All Romance eBooks, etc. I apologize for that, but I simply don’t have that information at this time. As soon as it does though, I will post links on the book’s page here on the website.

Glad You Came was a long time coming (ha! *ahem*). Dade, Genevieve and Tony lived in my head for a long time before I was finally able to get to their story. And even though I thought I knew it several years ago, the trio surprised me several times. As happy as I am that I got to give them their story (and close the loop on a few other characters, not to mention the warehouse!), I’m a little sad the story with the gang from Sanctuary is over. But a new set of geeks have taken up residence in my head already and they’re all clamoring to get out.

I realized I normally share my playlist for a book and I hadn’t done that with Glad You Came yet. So I thought I’d share that today. This book, in fact the whole series, is definitely a story about family, learning about yourself and redemption. The playlist for this book certainly reflects those things.

Breaking Inside ~ Shinedown
Break My Fall ~ Breaking Benjamin
Adrenaline ~ Shinedown
Madness In Me ~ Skillet
Edge of Heaven ~ Breathe Carolina
Waiting (Save Your Life) ~ Omnisoul
Bleeding Out ~ Imagine Dragons
Not Strong Enough ~ Apocalyptica feat. Brent Smith
3 ~ Disturbed
A New Way to Bleed ~ Evanescence
Dirty Mind (Bonus Version) ~ Halestorm
Breath ~ Breaking Benjamin
Hands All Over ~ Maroon 5
When The Heartache Ends ~ Rob Thomas
Penance ~ Device
Live to Rise ~ Soundgarden

As always, one song usually stands out among the group. Though each of the trio have their own personal struggles to deal with during the course of the book, Dade’s conflict is clear from the first page. Almost the first paragraph, in fact. Even though he knows he’s not supposed to want them, he goes ahead and does it anyway. Which is excellent for us!
