What's Happening?
Okay, I need to apologize for this coming out a month late. I wanted to send out a newsletter September first, but between my writing commitments and my kids starting school, things got a little crazy. So, we are starting the monthly newsletter in October instead of September. J
I know you’re all upset about this, so to make it up to you, I’ll be giving away not one, but TWO free copies of Pressure Point, the fifth book in my Ecstasy Spa series. Scroll down to the end of the newsletter to see if you’ve won!
Everything on the writing front is in a state of flux right now, so it makes it difficult to write this newsletter. What I CAN tell you is that I’ve had an incredible month. Not only did Pressure Point release, but Bonded in Blood, my warlock M/M/F ménage released from Siren Bookstrand. This was my first time writing for Siren, and I have to say that I’m rather impressed with them as a publisher. You can expect me to release more books with them in the future.
Here’s some more information about my two new releases this month:
Pressure Point:
Book #5 in the Ecstasy Spa Series
Price: $3.99
When Blake and Drew ask Elise to have some fun with them at the Ecstasy Spa holiday party, she seizes the opportunity to forget about the pressures of her job and personal life. She has always had a crush on both men and knows that they are dating, so she expects nothing more than the one-night stand they offer her. Blake and Drew have other plans however. Together the men fulfill her every torrid dream, bringing her to heights she never thought possible. They want to make their fling more permanent, but doing so could cost them all their jobs. Should Elsie risk her livelihood for a chance to make her dreams come true?

Bonded in Blood
Book #1 in the Warlock Mating Chronicles
Price: $4.99
Cyrah has denied her pagan heritage and tried to live a normal life, but visions of two sexy strangers refuse to leave her alone. She senses trouble in their auras, and knows she must try to insert herself into their lives to stop it. Her strong attraction is difficult to control however, and one miscalculation leaves her captured by a powerful Coven and tied to a Master Warlock’s bed.
When Roman recognizes Cyrah as his destined mate, he makes every effort to keep her close. He lusts after the sexy witch, but can’t deny his attraction for his personal guard, Sam. His emotions are torn and Roman is unable to bind himself to either of them. Then he learns that Sam and Cyrah feel the same. Cyrah has an idea of how all three of them can become mates, but doing so would involve extremely kinky sex, denying ancient warlock tradition, and putting all of their lives in grave danger.

PS – Bonded in Blood made the best seller list at Siren Bookstrand this past week, climbing to #26. How exciting is that? Big ((HUGS)) to everyone who bought the book. Hope that you enjoy the story!
I'm also continuing to teach online classes through RWA. I'll be teaching Ebook and Digital Publishing: Is it for Me? and Writing Sex When You Don't Feel Sexy. Follow the links for more information and to sign up.

Behind the Scenes
So, what’s coming up for October? Here’s what’s in the works…
1) I’m drafting the sixth and final installment of the Ecstasy Spa series. I’ve just started this story, so I’m not sure if I’ll be able to release it in October. Early November is looking more probable. This story will be called Mind an Body and will focus on the Ecstasy Spa owner, Celeste. Here's the cover:
2) I’m working on the re-release of Spyder’s Web. This book was first published in 2009 and was my first published title. I got the rights back and have been working on the cover. Next up is the editing. In case you were wondering, this story won't change much from the original version. I'm just going to do some light editing. I hope to have it up by the end of next week. Here’s a sneak peak at the cover. I designed it myself. J
3) I’m working on getting the first three Ecstasy Spa stories into print (Quick Fix, Aromatherapy, Rub Down). I’m hoping to have that complete and released in October.
4) I’m working on another Small Town Seductions story. This will be a follow-up to A Little Bit Reckless at Elloras Cave. Three stories are planned. I hope to have this second story finished and submitted in October.
5) I’m working on a story for my new mainstream pen name. I hope to start releasing mainstream romances (contemporary and romantic suspense) in the middle of next year.
Goals for the end of the year:
1) Finish Ecstasy Spa series
2) Finish the Small Town Seductions trilogy
3) Finish the Bonded in Blood trilogy
4) Finish two stories for my main stream pen name, both contemporary romances with a touch of suspense
5) Write a new book on marketing with my writing partner Em Petrova. We both have marketing jobs where we do promotions for epublishers, so we have a lot to share with authors about promotion. This will be a continuation of our Writing Romance series. The first book is Writing Sex When You don't Feel Sexy.
Goals for the first half of 2013:
1) More Jungle Heat Books
2) More Immortal Hungers Books
3) Release the first three Ecstasy Spa stories as audio books
4) The Kyron Pack trilogy will be re-released in its entirety in 2013 (two previously published stories, one all-new) Hopefully this will take place in the first half of 2013.
