Hi, everyone!  I’ve got my contracts in hand, so I can announce…I’ll be writing more Harlequin Intrigue titles!

Originally, I’d signed on to do two books in my Shadow Agent series for Intrigue (and I’m super pumped about those military based RS titles), but now I will be doing four books in that series. The books are all plotted out and planned (books 1 and 2 are done, and I’ll soon start work on books 3 and 4).  I do know that the first book, ALPHA ONE, will be out in early 2013, and so will book two, GUARDIAN RANGER. I think that the 3rd and 4th books will be out in late 2013, but I can’t confirm those dates yet.  But what I can say…I’m excited to be writing more Intrigues! And I sure hope readers enjoy the stories!

And, speaking of excitement…don’t forget that my ANGEL BETRAYED release party is on 6/26/12.  Make plans to come by and enter all of the giveaway fun that will be happening.  Bad boy hero Sammael (Sam) will be out in the reading wild come Tuesday!

ANGEL OF DARKNESS is on sale!  ANGEL OF DARKNESS is the first book in my Fallen series, and it introduces all of my wicked angels. 😉  My publisher has lowered the price on this book, and it is currently listed at $2.99 for the Kindle. It is also $2.99 for the Nook.  I’m not sure how long the reduced price will last, so if you haven’t read this book yet (or if you want to recommend it to a friend), now is the perfect time to give it a try.

Also wanted to say…Kensington is sponsoring a GoodReads giveaway for my September anthology with the always awesome Shelly Laurenston. Ten copies of HOWL FOR IT are up for grabs, and you can enter that giveaway here.

In one week, ANGEL BETRAYED will be available!  To celebrate, I’ll host a big, all-day release party here on my blog. There will be lots of giveaways and great guest authors joining me during the day.  I’ll also be having a Twitter Release Party, so make sure that you sign up to attend that event! (Even if you can’t attend the Twitter party, you can pre-register so that you’ll be entered in the giveaway for prizes like a Kindle Touch).

Have a great Tuesday!!!

Would you like to know why Sammael (Sam) lost his wings?  Then head over to my Facebook Fan Page, and you can read the prologue and the first chapter from ANGEL BETRAYED (and the release date of 6/26 will be here so soon!!!).

Speaking of the release date, I am busy making lots of release party plans. The first big plan?  A Twitter Party!  Thanks to the fabulous Lit Connect, I will be having a Twitter Party on 6/26.  You can read the full details here.

There are a ton of great prizes being offered for this event–including a Kindle Touch, HOWL FOR IT ARCs, and gift cards!  So please pre-register.  And if you can’t attend during the 12 PM to 1 PM party slot on Twitter, your pre-registration will still make you eligible to win some very cool prizes (including that Kindle Touch that I just mentioned).  A big THANK YOU to Lit Connect for organizing this event!

And since you know I like parties, I will be holding my usual all-day release party here at the blog. 😉 Each hour, I’ll be featuring a different author or a different book, and there will be lots of giveaways!  I hope you can attend!

Have a great day. I’m heading back in for revisions.  So close to being finished!

What’s summer without a little blog hopping fun?

Hosted by CataRomance.com, SensualReads.com and SingleTitles.com

Happy Summer!!! The long, lazy days of summer (okay, sometimes, they are not-so-lazy) are here!  And what better way to kick off the summer than with a big party? CataRomance (including Single Titles & Sensual Reads) is doing a site relaunch, and to celebrate that relaunch, they’ve organized a huge blog hop.

I’m happy to be participating in the blog hop, and, for my prize, I am going to give an autographed copy of ANGEL BETRAYED to one commenter. The ANGEL BETRAYED giveaway is open to international entrants.  Because the blog hop event will actually last until June 10th, this giveaway will remain open until that time.

Blurb:

Sammael–call him Sam–was an angel once. An Angel of Death. But the dispassionate, watch-from-above thing just wasn’t working for him when it meant watching evil torture innocent souls day in and day out. It might have cost him his wings, but these days he gets to apply the direct method on the bad guys. Problem is, what’s making his life difficult is a bad girl…

Seline O’Shaw needs protection, and with the hounds of hell on her tail, she’s not going to quibble too hard about where she gets it. Sam’s virtue is questionable, but he’s smoking hot, massively powerful, and owes her a favor. So what if she’s getting a little case of angel lust? There are some damn deadly sins after her hide…

***

So let’s get going with the giveaway, shall we?

As you can probably figure out from the blurb, the hero of ANGEL BETRAYED is a bad boy, um, fallen angel. He’s dark.  He’s dangerous. He’s the guy that you want on your side in a fight.   He’s no knight in shining armor. He’s the angel with lost wings. 😉

To enter this giveaway, just tell me…do you enjoy reading about bad boy heroes?  What is it that draws you to them?

For me, I’ve got a top five list of reasons for liking those bad boys:

1. Bad boys tend to have sex appeal to spare.

2. Real life can be boring and mundane. In my books, I want danger. I want excitement. I want those bad boys.

3. Because Spike made me enjoy the bad boys. Oh, Spike, you were such a tease. Why, why did Buffy have to end?

4. I’m not perfect. I don’t think my hero should be, either.I don’t want him to be.

5.  Bad boys have attitude, they have swagger…and they usually have six pack abs.

Now it’s your turn! Tell me the reason you like bad boys (or, if you don’t like them, tell me why you enjoy the white knights), and you’ll be entered in the giveaway. And don’t forget to visit the blogs of the other participating authors:
