Happy Monday!!!

As I prepare for the release of my next BOUND book (BOUND IN DEATH–due out the 1st week of April), I thought I should offer a sale on the other BOUND stores–so, right now, you can get my FOREVER BOUND bundle for only .99 at Amazon, B&N, and All Romance Ebooks.

The FOREVER BOUND anthology contains the following novellas: BOUND BY BLOOD, BOUND IN DARKNESS, BOUND IN SIN, and BOUND BY THE NIGHT (for a total word count of 90,000). These are sexy parnanormal romances–all inspired by fairy tales, but with a werewolf and vampire twist thrown in to the mix.

And, in addition to my FOREVER BOUND sale, I am also working to make A BIT OF BITE, my short paranormal story (11,000 words) free to readers. Right now,  A BIT OF BITE is free at Smashwords and All Romance E-Books.  It is processing at Apple & Kobo (so I am hoping it will be free at those locations within the next 24 to 48 hours), and then I will work at getting it free on Amazon & B&N.  (As it appears at other e-retailers, I will be back to post.)

A BIT OF BITE first appeared in the 2011 ENTANGLED charity anthology. I’m re-releasing it now as a free read.  Here’s the blurb:

A killer is stalking the streets of Crossroads, Mississippi, and it’s up to Sheriff Ava Dushaine to stop him. But when suspicion falls on werewolf alpha Julian Kasey—Ava’s ex-lover and the man who still haunts her dreams—Ava knows that she’ll either have to prove his innocence…or watch the whole town go up in flames.

Update: A BIT OF BITE is now listed for free at Kobo. 

Enjoy your day! I am off to write. 😉

Hi, everyone! I hope that you are all doing well! So sorry to be quiet–I’m working on two stories right now. Trying to get them both finished by the end of the month. 😉

I want to thank my readers for the wonderful response that DIE FOR ME has received! You are incredible!! And, yes, I will be writing more single title romantic suspense stories. I have actually *already* written two more single-titles that are dark and sexy like DIE FOR ME, and, as soon as I get release dates from my publisher,  I will let you know.

In the meantime, I have some other info to share.  First up…a new cover:

In 2011, A BIT OF BITE was released in the ENTANGLED anthology (an anthology to raise money for the Breast Cancer Research Fund). The rights to this story have come back to me, and I plan to offer it as a free read. I will actually begin uploading the story to e-retailers tonight, but it will take a few days for it to appear. Once it is live (and properly listed as free), I will be sure to post! A BIT OF BITE is a short story (containing approximately 11,000 words) that features one of my favorite hero types–the alpha werewolf. Here’s the blurb for you:

A killer is stalking the streets of Crossroads, Mississippi, and it’s up to Sheriff Ava Dushaine to stop him. But when suspicion falls on werewolf alpha Julian Kasey—Ava’s ex-lover and the man who still haunts her dreams—Ava knows that she’ll either have to prove his innocence…or watch the whole town go up in flames.

By the end of March/early April, I also hope to have a new release ready for you–BOUND IN DEATH. This one is for all of the Bound fans who wrote to me and asked for one more vampire/werewolf book. BOUND IN DEATH will be longer than the other Bound tales, and I’ll be sharing its blurb very soon.  For now, I’ll go ahead and share the great cover that Pickyme designed for me:

Now I need to head back to the writing.  I’ll be back soon with more updates! And a sneak peek at BOUND IN DEATH!

I was so excited to learn that ANGEL IN CHAINS won the 2012 Sensual Reads Reviewers’ Choice Award (Paranormal Category)! Wow!! I want to send out a very big thank you to the reviewers. I am thrilled that you enjoyed my book!  And congratulations to all of the other winners!  (You can see the winners listed here.)

I’m thrilled that DIE FOR ME is included in the Panera Bread Baker’s Dozen Book Selection!  Because of this selection, a 20% off discount is being offered on the print copy of the book. You can read full details (and see all of the other books featured) here.

Enjoy your weekend!!!

Today I’m turning my blog over to author Kim Law–she wants to tell you about some new Kindle serials, and she’s also got details on a great contest!

TRY A KINDLE SERIAL…

ENTER FOR A CHANCE TO WIN A KINDLE FIRE HD!!

From Valentine’s Day through the end of March, three romance authors are combining to not only bring readers an easy opportunity for a chance to win a 7” Kindle Fire HD, but also the chance to discover a new and exciting way to read books!

Have you heard of Kindle Serials? It’s a blast from the past, where books are released in episodes in the same vein as in Charles Dickens’ day. Only, instead of getting each episode in a magazine or newspaper, you’ll get them on your Kindle or Kindle app. It’s kind of like your favorite television shows. The ones that leave you hanging each week, anxious to get to the next episode and know more!

Cheryl Bolen, Kim Law, and Patrice Wilton each have a Kindle serial releasing, and are hoping you’ll give them a try! In return, they’re giving away a 7” Kindle Fire HD on April 1^st, and will give away three $20 Amazon gift cards along the way. All you have to do to enter is go to one of their websites and answer a simple question about their serial. Want to enter three times? Go to each website and answer a question about each serial.

Additionally, after reading each episode, join the fun by chatting with other readers on the Kindle forums, and discussing how you think the next episode will play out! Links to the forums are found on each book’s Amazon page.

Falling for Frederick, by Cheryl Bolen – Laden with mystery and suspense, Falling for Frederick is a fast-paced romance that takes place in contemporary England.

Ex on the Beach, by Kim Law – Andie Shayne is getting ready to host the wedding of the summer at her resort on Turtle Island. As the guests arrive she’s taken aback to learn that her ex–who left her at the altar–is the best man. What he did was unforgiveable, and now he’s back with an agenda for her affection.

A Hero Lies Within, by Patrice Wilton – Old secrets linger and two reunited lovers are faced with more deception and mistrust. Can their love survive a second time around? Jake Harrington left her once when her life was falling apart, and now he’s back, and so are all the emotions she fought hard to expel.
