The ol' blog has been quiet in the new year, but I'm still amazed, humbled, stoked, grateful, excited, thrilled, etc, by all the support that I've been given as well as The Proposition and The Proposal.
To show my appreciation, I wanted to do a give-away.
One winner will receive a $25.00 Amazon Gift Card & a copy of The Proposal
5 Winners will receive a copy of The Proposal
1 Winner will receive a copies of my Young Adult books: Jules the Bounty Hunter, The Guardians, and the upcoming release, Nets and Lies.
I also wanted to let you know what was coming up in the future after The Proposal's release.
First up is Music of the Heart in late March. Here's the blurb:
For Abby Renard, the plan was supposed to be simple—join her brothers’ band on the last leg of their summer tour and decide if she’s finally ready for the limelight by becoming its fourth member. Of course, she never imagined stumbling onto the wrong tour bus at Rock Nation would accidentally land her in the bed of Jake Slater, the notorious womanizing lead singer of Runaway Train. When he mistakes her for one of his groupie’s, Abby quickly lets him know she sure as hell isn't in his bed on purpose.
Jake Slater never imagined the angel who fell into his bed would resist his charms by promptly kneeing him in the balls. Of course, the fact she seems like a prissy choir girl makes her anything but his type. So he is more than surprised when after betting Abby she wouldn’t last a week on their tour bus, she is more than willing to prove him wrong. But as Jake’s personal life begins to implode around him, he finds an unlikely ally in Abby. He’s never met a woman he can talk to, joke with, or most importantly make music with.
As the week starts comes to a close, neither Abby nor Jake is ready to let go. Can a sweetheart Country songstress and a bad boy of Rock N Roll actually have a future together?
Jake & Abby
NEW ADULT: Do Not Go Gentle July 2013
Maddie and Allie had been best friends since Pull-ups and
Pre-K. Raised on the same rural road and with their parents close friends,
nothing had ever come between them. But the summer after graduation changes
everything. When Allie’s dad starts spinning out of control with his PTSD, an
altercation leaves her black and blue. Maddie never could have imagined that
acting on a whispered accusation would lead not only to a friend’s broken
trust, but to a fiery midnight blaze that took Allie and her mother out of this
world at her father’s hands. Maddie is left with a gaping hole in her soul and
the unimaginable guilt that she was somehow to blame.
Miles away at college, Will thought he could escape the
impending chaos at home. At twenty-one, he never could have imagined the entire
world he knew would go up in smoke, leaving him orphaned and without his little
sister and confidante, Allie. With the life he once had in ashes, Will can’t
see the way ahead, nor can he shake the crippling grief that threatens to
consume him. No one makes him feel alive again or want to embrace the uncertain
future except Maddie.
In Will, Maddie has someone to help her pick the pieces of
her shattered life without Allie. He’s the only one who understands what she’s
going through. Her old friends, her boyfriend of two years, none of them seem
to comprehend what her dark world is like. The more and more time they spend
together, the more they depend on each other. But everything they have is
threatened when the lines between friendship and lovers start to blur.
Will & Maddie
And here's the reveal of the never before seen blurb for Drop Dead Sexy--a sexy, murder mystery comedy. May 2013
For Olivia Sullivan, love is more a four letter curse word
than a sentiment. Growing up as the daughter of a small town mortician, guys
didn’t warm to the fact there were dead people in her house. At thirty, taking
over the family business and becoming the town Coroner helped to cement her undateable
status. Of course her past sex history didn’t help matters either.
Attempt number one with her first love ended before it got
started with a horrific latex allergy hospitalization. Attempt number two had
him coming and then going with an undiagnosed heart condition. For the past
three years, Olivia has closed up shop for fear of what might happen next in
the bedroom.
After being forced to go single to her mother’s lingerie
shower, Olivia stumbles into an out of town bar with one intention: find an
able bodied stud to go home with to end her losing sex streak. Enter Holden
Caulfield Mains aka Catcher, who earned his nickname not just from the book he
was named for, but for the fact he was sure to catch the attention any woman
who came within a five mile radius. Waking up after a night of the most mind
blowing sex she could have ever imagined, a horrified Olivia runs away thinking
she’s left Catcher behind.
When Olivia’s small town is wracked by its first murder, she
never could have imagined her one night stand would reappear in the form of the
GBI’s lead investigator. To her mortification, Catcher isn’t ready to let go of
their sizzling chemistry, and he doesn’t understand the meaning of no. As
things start to heat up between them, the body count starts to rise, and
they’re led on a wild goose chase from back woods mountain Nudist Colonies to
altercations with the Dixie Mafia. Can Olivia and Catcher survive to solve the
murder while also not succumbing to their explosive passion?
Catcher & Olivia
