Coming Soon & News

The Bound Series is coming soon in print! The print rights reverted to me on all the novellas, and since I adore Oliver and Vincent, I decided to make them available as a paperback edition. The book will include Bound by Deception, Bound to Him, Bound Forever, and the two short stories Deliberately Unbound and Deliberately Bound. I'm currently proofing the series, and anticipate it will be available on Amazon sometime in August. It will take another 6 weeks after that for it to be available on Barnes and Noble and other sites. 

Hot Damn Designs did the covert art, and I'm in love with it. Oliver looks mighty handsome on the cover. Here's the full front and back.

All Romance eBooks will be running a Hottest Hero contest this summer, and Benjamin from Brook Street: Thief was selected as one of the 32 finalists. *pats Ben on the back*
There will be 5 rounds, with a pair of heroes going up against each other in each round. Readers vote for their favorite of each pair, and ARe is awarding a $25 gift cert to a random voter in each round. Round 1 runs from August 1-7. So come August 1, I'll post more info about the contest. 

I was pleasantly surprised Ben was selected as a finalist. He's just so...nice and friendly and kind. I have a feeling he'll be fighting it out against uber alphas, strong dominants, shapeshifters, and the like. He doesn't have fangs or guns or leather restraints. The weapons in his arsenal include the ability to invite them all over for a dinner party. But perhaps nice guys don't always finish last :)

One last thing, starting Monday, Joyfully Jay is having a Spectacular Series Week. On Tuesday 7/17, I'll be talking about writing a direct series. So if you're interested in behind the scenes stuff on writing the Bound series, hop on by to check out the post. I'll also be doing a giveaway - winner's choice of either the novellas in the Bound series or the Convincing series in ebook format.

    1. Thanks, and yay! you don't recognize him. When I was trolling through Hot Damn's image database, looking for a good Oliver, I dubbed him Cute Looking Down Guy :) Yeah, the Misadventures have kinda influenced how I look at stock images now.
