What’s Next?

I’ve been getting questions about what’s coming next from me in my current series, so I figured I’d do a quick review here. I’ve grouped it by series, rather than chronologically. Model Soldier (Red, Hot & Blue, Book 8) is my next release. Coming from Samhain Publishing it is scheduled for December. You can read the blurb here. I’ve already proofed the final file so I expect it to be up on preorder any day now. I’ll let you know when it is. It is category length at approximately 54,000 words and will be released first as an eBook, and then as a trade paperback the following year. It is a standalone story featuring a new character as the hero, as well as an Army platoon in Afghanistan. However, the Task Force Zeta SpecOp characters you know and love from other Red, Hot & Blue series books play a role in the story. Though the story stands alone, you will want to grab the free 10,000 word bonus read BB DALTON to fully appreciate the back story of Model Soldier. It’s available free here at my site, from Amazon for Kindle, at KOBO, on Barnes & Noble for Nook, on […]

3 Words: Mass. Market. Paperback.

Here are 3 more… Linda Lael Miller And here’s a handful more… Jill Shalvis and Lucy Monroe What’s all that have in common? I’ll tell you. I’m going to have a 20K word story in a mass market collection of beach reads headlined by Linda Lael Miller, Jill Shalvis and Lucy Monroe being published by Kensington next July! HOLY CRAP! I still can’t write that without being shocked all over again. It all happened so fast, I don’t have a cover yet but I did have to come up with and write a short summary of my story and get it to the editor this week because they are in the process of writing the book blurb now. So perhaps it will be up for preorder soon. It’s been a crazy week. On Monday, I was in the middle of writing Two Dates to a Wedding (Oklahoma Nights, Book 2), when copy edits on One Night With a Cowboy (Oklahoma Nights Book 1) arrived, then the email for the proofing on the ARC of Model Soldier (Red, Hot & Blue, Book 8) showed up, and then this opportunity came along and required immediate attention and a potential story blurb by […]

Cowboys, Romance Novels

One Night With a Cowboy All New Excerpt

After being up on Amazon with a lonely grey box where my cover should have been, finally One Night With a Cowboy has a cover image on the pre-order page and NOW I can effectively ‘ho, um, I mean promote the book! Why start now, you ask? The book doesn’t release until February. Yes, I know, but I’ve gleaned some knowledge while worshipping the false god that is Amazon, but, like with all deities, the truth is always shrouded in mystery. Still, here is what I think might possibly be true… Preorder sales for a book are very (VERY) important. It’s the sales accumulated during preorder that can drive a book to the best seller lists, we think, possibly, because even though I’m trying to convince a friend a mine to work for Amazon and spy for me she hasn’t consented to do so yet so we’re all just guessing here. Here is another thing we’re guessing about…it was rumored that books with more Reader Ratings and Reviews, good or bad, get special treatment at Amazon as far as promotion. Things such as inclusion in emails, or the ‘recommended for you’ titles shown when you visit the site. I’ve heard […]
