Update: The winner of the $20 Barnes & Noble gift card is…May!

Guardian angels are the good angels. They are the ones who watch over us. They protect us.

Well, the hero of my new book, ANGEL BETRAYED, definitely doesn’t belong in the “guardian” category.  Sammael (Sam) is an angel of death. With one touch, he kills. He’s used to doing what he wants, when he wants.  He’s strong, he’s fierce, and he is definitely my favorite kind of hero.

"Eden offers compelling characters, sizzling sex, and breakneck action..."--Publishers Weekly

I don’t know why I like the bad boy heroes so much, but I have to confess…they are an absolute blast to write.  The bad boys like Sam walk on the edge. They make their own rules. And they don’t take crap from anyone.

Oh, bad boys…you are so much fun.

But the best part of writing a bad boy hero? Redemption.  And Sam, despite his powers and his wicked skills…he is a hero in need of redemption.  Sam was cast out of heaven, his wings burned away, and he was sentenced to live out his days on earth.  Now, other angels fear Sam.  No one gets close to him. And Sam thinks that is the way he wants his days and nights to be…until he meets my heroine.

The path to redemption isn’t easy.  But to prove that  man with a good heart lives within a bad boy’s body, that journey is necessary.

I hope that you enjoy Sam’s journey. It sure is a bit of a bumpy ride!

Now…want to win a $20 Barnes and Noble gift card?  Then tell me…who is your all-time favorite hero? Your hero can be from a book, from a movie, from real-life.  Just tell me your fave and you will be entered in the giveaway! The winner will be randomly selected.

PLUS…I’ll also be having my Twitter Party on Tuesday, as well.

Pre-register for the Twitter Party (even if you can’t attend at the listed time), so that you will be eligible for cool giveaways like a Kindle Touch and a Howl for It ARC. You can see a full list of all the giveaways here.

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!!!
