This morning, my Ellora’s Cave editor offered me a contract for the 4th Ra’s Chosen book, Embrace the Hunger. It was a great way to start off the day. I don’t have a blurb for it yet, but I’ll post it once I finish edits. I plan to start writing the 5th Ra’s Chosen book, which doesn’t have a title yet, sometime either at the end of September or the beginning of October. There is only 6 books in this series, but I’ve come up with a new series idea that is sort of along the same lines as Ra’s Chosen. It won’t be a vampire series. I’m thinking shape-shifter.

And some more good news today. The third book in my Ra’s Chosen series, Longed-For Hunger, now has a release date. It’ll be out on August 20th. I don’t have a cover for it yet, but I’ll post it here once I do. I’ve posted the excerpt for it on my Excerpts page on my website HERE. I’ll post the blurb below. Tomorrow I’m starting to write the fourth Ra’s Chosen book. I can’t wait to get started. This one will be Akori’s story.

Blurb

Denger is a hunter, spending his nights on the streets of Phoenix fighting the undead who threaten unknowing humans around them. It’s in his blood. It’s what he knows. But a new knowledge has taken hold. Like other warriors before him, he must hunt for a different kind of prey altogether. His mate. Once he finds her, nothing will keep him from claiming what is his. Nothing but her, that is.

After the death of her husband three years ago, Nyx is content to spend her evenings at home, wrapped up in the vampire romance novels she loves. But when she collides, literally, with a man who could have stepped out of the pages of her books, she begins to think that living her love life through books may not be the way to go. But as with any good story, there’s a plot twist. Once she discovers Denger’s true nature, she must decide if she can risk her heart and live a life where truth is stranger than fiction.

Today I received another contract offer from Liquid Silver Books. This one is for the third Roxie’s Protectors book, Leif’s Surrender. Here’s an unedited blurb, and as always, I’m not too thrilled with it. But it will at least give you a taste of what the book is about.

Blurb

Leif had always sworn he would never allow himself to become mated, but when he meets her at a grocery story buying pregnant Roxie ice cream, he finds his world turned upside down. Fighting his mating urge, he finds himself drawn to his would-be mate. If he can only resist her, he hopes he can hold out long enough to let it run its course without claiming her as his. The cashier that rings through Leif’s purchase, Jaden of course noticed him in her line. He is so good looking, she knows with her plain looks and the glasses she wears, he’d never notice her. But when he returns to the grocery store the next day and kisses her senseless in front of the whole store, she can only hope she’ll see him again.

I signed a new contract today with Liquid Silver Books. It’s for the historical I had published with New Concepts called A Tournament Knight. I had orginially submitted this to LSB back in late 2006. Tina Burns, who is now publisher, loved it but couldn’t offer me a contract because LSB didn’t have their Sterling line then, their sweeter romances. She always called A Tournament Knight the one that got away. I subbed it on Monday and just from reading it three years before, Tina jumped on it and had a contract offer sent my way. That is the fastest one I’ve ever gotten. It only took about a half hour. I’m really thrilled that A Tournament Knight has a new home, and that Tina loved it so much that she offered me a contract so quickly.

I recieved my cover for the second book in my Wolves of East Anglia series, Forever Claimed. This one will be released at Noble Romance Publishing on July 19th. The cover artist did a great job, and even managed to give the hero the tattoo all the warriors have. I’m thinking of starting to write the third book in the next week or so. I’ll post the blurb below. I’m not thrilled with it, but once I go through edits, which should be very soon, it may change.

Blurb:

Out for a walk on her fist evening of her holiday in Norwich, England, Kamryn finds herself literally knocked on her butt by a gorgeous hunk of a man. He is quick to apologize when he helps her to her feet, and holds her hand a little longer than necessary, but he still reluctantly rushes after the man who he had been chasing. Kamryn returns to her hotel, sure she won’t see him again.

Algar quickly takes down the werewolf sired by Fenris the wolf in the hopes to find the woman he’d knocked over. After following her scent, only to come to a dead end at the hotel’s elevator, he plans to return in the morning to wait for her to put in an appearance. When she does, he finds she stirs his wolf as much as she stirs his body. Sure she is the woman meant for him, meant to be forever claimed by an immortal werewolf warrior, he knows he can’t let her go, even if she comes to fear what he is.

Today I signed my seventh contract with Ellora’s Cave. It’s for the third book in my vampire Ra’s Chosen series called Longed-for Hunger. This one is Denger’s story. Book one, Soul Hunger, is now out and going by the reader reviews on EC’s website, along with the one glowing review from Night Owl Reviews it has received, I have a feeling it’s selling really well. It makes me happy to see readers enjoyoing my books. The second Ra’s Chosen book, Mate Hunger, is going to be out in a few weeks on June 30th. Hopefully it will be as well received as the first book was.

The second book in my Roxie’s Protectors series, Jager’s Mate, is going to be released at Liquid Silver Books on July 5th. That will be the first of two releases I’ll have for July. With this one coming out soon, next week I’m going to start writing the third book in this series. It’s going to be called Leif’s Surrender. I’ll post the blurb for Jager’s Mate below.

Blurb:

Daylen is a cop, and a good one. When she discovers two men sword fighting in an alley during one of her nightly patrols, she confronts them, ordering them to put down their weapons. One of the men takes off running, surprising her with his speed. With one man left, she knows she’ll have to take him down when he ignores her demands. With her suspect in her grasp, her world turns upside down when he pins her to the ground and kisses her senseless.

Jager knows no wilting flower, werewolf or mortal, would ever survive as his mate, but this cop has all the right moves. Her scent leaves no doubt this mortal woman is his, and after tasting her lips, he knows claiming her will be a challenge. The bigger problem, however, might be her obsession to arrest him whenever they meet. As their passion flares, he’ll do anything it takes to make her his mate.

The second book in my Wolves of East Anglia series, Forever Claimed, now has a release date. Noble Romance Publishing will release it on July 19th. I haven’t started edits yet, but I have a feeling I’ll be getting them soon. I also don’t have a cover for it either. I’ll post it once I do have one, same with the blurb.

I’m so excited I can barely keep sitting down. I’m happy to announce that as of officially today I now have an agent. I signed with Marisa Corvisiero (yes, we have the same first name) at the L. Perkins Agency. Marisa is a lawyer as well as agent and joined the agency this past February. I’m so thrilled that she took me on as a client. The book she is going to represent is called Touched by a Gladiator. It’s a paranormal/time travel. As you may have guessed, the hero is a gladiator who fights in the Colossuem. The heroine lives in present day. I loved writing this book and I’m so happy I found an agent for it. I’ll post more details when I get them.

My Canada Day book that is coming out at Liquid Silver Books now has a release date. It’ll be out June 7th. It’s a paranormal/werewolf story like my other wolfie books. It’s also my version of Little Red Riding Hood. I’ll post the blurb below.

Blurb:

Lost in the woods when on a Canada Day camping trip with her grandmother at Algonquin Park, Red finds herself chased by a large male wolf. Shocked when the wolf shape-shifts into a gorgeous man, she is unable to tell him no when he takes her into his arms and kisses her senseless.

Rutgar knew Red was his mate from the first whiff of her scent. Out on his daily evening run through the woods in his wolf form, he can’t resist the pull she has over him. The mating urge rides him to claim her as his mate.

Not pleased to find herself bound to Rutgar without her consent, Red soon learns another werewolf forms a greater danger than an unexpected mating ever could.
