Random News - Updated Shorts, Release Dates, and Yummy Covers

First up, The Brook Street Collection is currently available. For anyone who hasn't read Thief, Fortune Hunter and Rogues, and who might be interested in checking out the books, they are now available in one collection. 

I finally finished updating both Bound series free short stories (and you can thank Lou Harper of Harper by Design for the yummy covers). The stories are now available at Smashwords, Kobo, B&N, and Amazon (though they are currently $0.99 there). I also updated the versions on All Romance eBooks and GoodReads. Check out the stories' pages on my website for links to the various resellers - Deliberately Unbound & Deliberately Bound.

In WIP news, I am still working on All In With the Duke, though I am SO close to the end. Like, half-way into the last chapter, close. The book will definitely be novel length - I've already pushed past the 75,000 word mark (but we'll see what gets trimmed in edits). And, I got release dates/months/seasons for the books in the upcoming Gambling on Love series:

• All In With the Duke = November 2013
• Sharp Love = Spring 2014
• Viscount's Wager = Fall 2014

And last but not least, Fortune Hunter has been nominated in the Best GLBT - Historical Romance  category of The Romance Reviews' Best Book of 2012. *pats Julian and Oscar on the back* If you're interested in voting, you can hop on over to http://www.theromancereviews.com/bookvote.php to cast your ballot for books in all the categories, though you do need to log in or create an account to vote for books. Voting open until March 31.

Happy Belated First Day of Spring!! I remain hopeful the weather gods will actually bring spring to Michigan, but so far...no such luck.  

Deliberately Unbound - now available on ARe

Deliberately Unbound (Bound #2-1/2) is now available on All Romance eBooks as a free .pdf download, in addition to being available on my website. And of course, I couldn't resist updating the cover art so it jived with the cover for Deliberately Bound. All 3 of my freebies are now on ARe for anyone who wants them as a .pdf, and for any future freebies I plan to post them both to my website and ARe.

Today is the last day to enter the giveaway on Stumbling Over Chaos for a copy of Convincing Leopold. The giveaway also includes Convincing Arthur, for anyone who hasn't read the 1st book yet. Contest closes at 7pm CST. Speaking of Convincing Leopold, the book releases tonight around midnight EST, and it's already received a lovely review over at Fiction Vixen Book Reviews.

In other news, I started Thief, the 1st book in the Brook Street series, over the weekend. I also had to do some research on Blackjack. Well, the guys play vingt-et-un, which is the french version of blackjack. Anyway, research was needed since the only card games I'm any good at are go-fish, old maid, and Uno, and my skills with those aren't fab (kidlet routinely beats me at Uno).

That's all for me today. I'm off to start practicing my little happy dance in preparation of new book release night.

Deliberately Unbound - Free Story

Deliberately Unbound, a free short story featuring Oliver and Vincent from the Bound series, is now up on my website. Click HERE to check it out!

It takes place about 8 months after Bound to Him, and it's pretty much just one long sex scene (i.e. NSFW). *g* I'm working on the final book in the series (...there, I admitted it, that's the current work in process). This scene doesn't quite fit the feel of that book, but I really wanted to write it (the idea for the scene came from something Vincent asked Oliver in the first chapter of Bound to Him). So...I decided to write it as a free story.

I should use you all as witnesses more often. I had the thing done within 2 weeks of when I made the committment to write it. So that means I officially got it finished and posted before the deadline. ;)

I hope you enjoy it!
