New Cover and Updates!

August 26, 2011

Sorry I’ve been away for while. Between work and moving, I haven’t had much time to blog. I’ve been updating my website, though, so check it out when you get a chance — lots of new stuff for readers.

I finally get to show off the cover for my upcoming release, The Tears of Elios. Kim at Hot Damn Designs made it. Here’s the blurb:

Shape-shifters’ Rule #1: Don’t let the humans know you still exist.

Rule #2: If a human finds out about you, silence them.

Some rules were meant to be broken…

Ranealya ruthlessly plays by the rules and has outlived most of her race because of it. If she wants to survive, she’ll have to stick to them, especially with a genocidal tyrant hell-bent on destroying all the non-humans in the realm. But everything falls apart when a human saves her life.

Gregor knows he’s inviting trouble when he helps a wounded shape-shifter, but he can’t pass up the opportunity to study one before they become extinct. She disturbs the quiet order of his scholarly existence, vexes him in more ways than he can count, and encourages him to break enough of the kingdom’s laws so that not even being the king’s cousin will save his head. The problem is, he’s already lost his heart.

Coming October 2011 to Barnes and Noble, Amazon, and other E-book retailers.

Print Edition to follow.

Blog Tour and New Releases

April 24, 2011

To celebrate the release of my Steampunk Western, The Alchemy of Desire (previously titled, Once in a Coyote Moon), I’ll be doing a short blog tour. Please stop by and say hi to win a few prizes.I’ll be at the following locations:

April 25: Fresh Fiction (win a $10 GC)
April 26: Steamed (win a free copy or a $10 GC)
April 27: Carina Press (win a $25 GC to Lush)
April 29: Teresa D’Amario’s Blog (win a free copy)
April 29: Harlequin Blog (win a $10 eGC)

The Alchemy of Desire goes on sale tomorrow, so grab a copy! It’s available at Carina Press, Amazon, B&N, and other ebook retailers.

Blurb: After winning the Civil War against the Confederate Wielders, the Union Machinists have outlawed magic to usher in a new age of steam-powered technology. Diah, an alchemist and the only non-wielder in his family, owes his brother for saving his life in the war; so when Cager is blackmailed into procuring the magical hide of the White Buffalo, Diah accompanies him to the Dakota territory.

Their guide is Oni, a half-Lakota woman with plenty of secrets to hide. She’s a magic wielder with an illegal wand concealed in her knife—and she’s a coyote shifter. To her people, killing the White Buffalo is not only sacrilege, it’s dangerous. Oni has no intention of helping them actually achieve their mission—until she falls in love with Diah…

Also, I re-released Cat’s Eyes. You can find it at All Romance Ebooks, Amazon, B&N, and Smashwords for $0.99.

Blurb: Andy Rodriguez has always desired his partner, Emily Hawkins, but the memory of his former lover’s murder five years ago still haunts him. Em doesn’t know he’s a shapeshifter, and he has no plans to drag her into his world where a war between true shifters and werewolves constantly wages. All that changes the night a werewolf attacks Em.

Lastly, my free read is live! You can read it on my website, or download it from All Romance Ebooks (free), Smashwords (free), B&N ($0.99), or Amazon ($0.99).

Blurb: Espe enjoys the naughty games of hide-and-seek she plays with Greg. Not only does he satisfy her kink for having sex in public places along the Las Vegas Strip, but he also is a no-strings attached lover. Vampire hunters are strictly forbidden from forming serious relationships, so when Greg asks for something more, she’s not sure if she can break his heart, especially since the thought has crossed her mind more than she cares to admit. Before she can give him an answer, their liaison is interrupted by a vampire, and Espe is forced to choose between her dreams and her desires.

This is a short story that takes place between books 1 and 3 of the Kavanaugh Foundation series.

New Covers

April 10, 2011

I have some great new covers to share!

The first one is for my upcoming Samhain release, Kiss of Temptation. It’s the third book in my Kavanaugh Foundation series:

Then I had a cover made for the free read I’ll be posting around May 1st. It features Espe and Greg, two minor characters from Heart of a Huntress, and takes place between books #1 and #3:

Lastly, I got the rights back on Cat’s Eyes. I was going to use it as a jumping point for a new project, but since I’ve gotten a couple of requests for it after it went out of print, I decided to go ahead and self-pub it. I’m working on the formatting now, and I hope to have up soon for $0.99 (at least for the first few months). Here’s the new cover:
