Some book recommends…
Tuesday, May 31st, 2011

Hey guys, just a quick post about some awesome books that release today…..

I had the pleasure of reading Karina Cooper’s BLOOD OF THE WICKED last year, well before it was to be released. It is a wonderful, hot and intense read–an amazing debut from a very talented writer!

The Blurb: As an independent witch living off the grid, Jessie Leigh has spent her life running, trying to blend in among the faceless drudges in the rebuilt city. She thought she was finally safe, but now she’s been found in a New Seattle strip club—by a hard-eyed man on a mission to destroy her kind.

A soldier of the Holy Order, Silas Smith believes in the cause: trawling the fringes of society for the murderous witches who threaten what’s left of the world. Forced into a twisting web of half-truths and lies, he has to stay close to the most sensuous and electrifying woman he has ever seen and manipulate her into leading him tot he witch he has to kill: her brother. Silas doesn’t know that Jessie’s his enemy, only that he wants her, needs her, even as he lies to her… and must protect her until his final breath.

The Cover:

As well my good friend Elisabeth Naughton has a hot story in a very cool anthology BODYGUARDS IN BED

The Blurb:

There’s just one cardinal rule when it comes to being a bodyguard: no matter how tempting it may be, never, ever get romantically involved with the person you’re supposed to be protecting. But as these sensual novellas prove, even the most important rules are made to be broken–again and again and again. Join acclaimed authors Lucy Monroe, Jamie Denton, and Elisabeth Naughton as they open the files on an undercover operative who finds a sexy surprise under his covers, a hot case involving mixed messages and mistaken identities, and a mission impossible protecting a provocative beauty who lives to love dangerously.

Yeah, it’s a hard job,
but someone’s gotta do it.

The Cover:

Salvation is Coming my Friends….
Saturday, May 28th, 2011

Wow, it is officially less than two months before Julian’s book, His Darkest Salvation releases! I’ve got some early feedback from reviewers and Dangerous Romance says “The fireworks are everywhere in this book. The sheer sexual chemistry between Jaden and Julian was enough to burn the pages.”

Please check back as I’ll be announcing a contest soon and I’ll have a new book trailer to unveil!

I’m so excited for this story! A lot of loose ends are tied up and Declan’s fate is more tenuous than ever. I so love my Castille brothers and am kind of sad to see the Jaguar Warrior’s trilogy end but there are so many good things in store!

Declan’s book, Wicked Road to Hell, kickstarts my new series for Avon, League of Guardians. But before his book releases next May, (2012) a prequel will be available in ebook format only. It will release in February of 2012. I’ll give some more deets when I can…but this original novella will explain a little more of what’s happening in the League of Guardian books.

I also wanted to let you know that I have all three of the Jaguar Warriors books (signed) up for bid on the Brenda Novak auction for Diabetes. You can bid HERE for a great cause! Only 3 more days to go….the auction ends May 31st!

In the meantime there is a contest at BookPerk and you can vote HERE for a chance to win free books from Avon/Harpercollins!

So, my world is busy as usual, but this is an addition to the family that I had to share….

This is Gibson, a little kitten my daughter found near our home. As you can see from the picture, he’s absolutely adorable and there was no way we couldn’t keep him! So far he’s been eating well off a bottle and I’m about to introduce him to real food…the lovely thing? He likes to purr beside me when I write!

Until next time, take care…and I hope that all my American friends have a wonderful long Memorial Day weekend!
