Hart Clan Hybrids Book Three...Coming 2015

I know I have been talking about Shelly for a long time. My Hart Clan Hybrids stories started with Amber Paulson, who I thought would take over the entire plot.

Then Shelly Meyers came on the scene, and I was fascinated with her. Shelly was a vampire who didn't really give a flying rat's ass about anyone but her little brother Jake.

She enjoyed things that felt good and gave the middle finger to anything that didn't fit into that category. (At least that's what she was like in my mind.)

Every time Buckcherry's "Crazy Bitch" came on I thought about Shelly. If you want to dance around your living room with me, here's the video.



Well, after fighting with her for a long time she finally let me write her story.

I can officially say I have signed the paperwork for Shelly's story to be told at Samhain Publishing. You will all get inside her miasma-filled brain near the end of 2015. Keep your eyes out for Three's a Clan.

Three's a Clan: Hart Clan Hybrids 3
Coming to Samhain Publishing in 2015

I know it feels like a long way off, but I have lots of other goodies coming your way while you wait.

First... Coral-600 is already under construction for release in early 2015, and will make you want a robot of your very own.

Second... The folks of Lust With a Laugh are all working on a special project. So keep your eyes open for future announcements on that. (I know. I'm a tease.)

Third...In 2015, Love's a Witch is coming out in PRINT! I will let you know as soon as pre-order links go live. I am super excited to have my name on paper.

Are you excited?  I am. And a bit apprehensive, because that's a LOT going on.

But that's tomorrow. Today, I have a cup of coffee, music, and a story on my computer that is making me smile.

Love's a Witch : It's ALIVE!

Today is release day!

Mary and Craig are finally getting it on for your reading pleasure. These two might not be as overwhelming as Amber was, but they sure are stubborn.

I will be running around the internet today. Tweeting, playing on Facebook, and causing declarations of shenanigans wherever possible.

The amazing Kanaxa made a kickass cover for this book. Mary and Craig aren't loud, but when they fight back they aren't shy about destroying anyone who stands in their way. They have a strength that radiates and only Mary can see the lovely mating aura that surrounds them. It's all captured beautifully on this cover.  

Hold her tight, Craig. 

If you haven't read my books before make sure you start out with A Love Worth Biting For. 

If Amber has already blazed across your e-reader, check out your favorite ebook retail outlet below and meet the newest members of the Hart Clan.

For now...Here's a little excerpt to wet your appetite.

Love's a Witch (June 2014)

EXCERPT:

Craig

Thoughts of sharing a room with Mary started to trickle into my brain, and in the next instant there she was standing in front of me. Blue diamond eyes looked up into mine. It was like I’d called her.

 “Are you coming?” She had no idea how the buzz she had going made her words sound. The question should have been innocent enough. It was her breathlessness at hurrying into the room, and the way her pupils dilated that had very un-innocent thoughts banging around in my brain.

I couldn’t help the growl. “Not yet.”

She stepped back, shook herself off a bit, and then started backing into the doorway. “Oh…well…um…don’t blame me if Amber eats your food. She’s been eating a lot. Even for her. And…well…your choice. Ow!”

She tripped and fell on her butt, a ripple bouncing through her frame. How was a guy not supposed to think of her breasts bouncing for other, much more fun, reasons? I grabbed her hand to help her up. Lacking some of my famous self-control, I pulled a little hard. A squeak from her and she crashed into me. Her soft curves felt amazing pressed against my body. A deep breath and I knew I wasn’t the only one affected. She was getting wet just being close to me. Don’t get me wrong, I’m not a bad looking guy. I was used to having women respond to me, but this was different. Hers was a scent I couldn’t ignore, and it caused my wolf to fight harder.

“Save me a plate, Mary. I’ll be in there in a minute.”

“Uh huh.” Making women breathless was fun. Making Mary breathless was dangerous.

This was something more than playful. Before my brain could process anything else, something on her neck really caught my attention. Right where her collarbone met the veins tracing delicately along the column of her throat I could see her pulse. I tilted my head to get a better look. She squirmed against me. She was getting wetter being held. So little Mary had some submissive tendencies. Interesting.

I couldn’t stop staring at that spot. What was that? I hated mysteries. Investigation was necessary. My wolf suddenly grabbed the reigns and he pushed my tongue from my mouth. I started laving Mary’s neck. She stiffened, but immediately softened with a moan. Her scent surrounded me and gave my wolf even more hold. I was drunk on her, and let my wolf hold my body up.

Then my teeth lengthened. A bone jarring feeling that hit me when I scraped them against her supple skin. It was the only thing that made me take the control back. Cold washed over me as my wolf’s intentions became all too obvious to my human brain.

He wanted more than sex from this woman. My wolf wanted Mary as his mate. She was mine. This was exactly what I had been trying to avoid. She couldn’t be mine. This wasn’t how it was supposed to happen.

Mary was still in my arms. She arched her back. The softness of her belly pressed against an erection that had a mind of its own. My wolf grabbed hold of my lust and pushed through. She smelled so good. I needed just one more taste. Just a little one.

Random updates and lying to my health coach...

 I have been a lucky sucker in this whole publishing business. I have met, both online and in person, the most amazing people. 

My next book Love's a Witch is in line on the Samhain Publishing website getting ready to be unleashed on the world. (It's only $3.85 right now if you pre-order in the Samhain Store. Ya know...in case you wanted to order it. *subtly drops hint*)

I am working on blog posts and promo ideas for that book, but what I am really working on is my 2015 release schedule. 

Book three in the Hart Clan Hybrids series is still on my computer, because Shelly is giving me a hard time. Imagine that, right?

So I distracted myself with some robosex. If you follow me on twitter (@RoxyMews) you have heard me babbling about this for awhile. I hope to have some official announcements regarding that project soon. 

I can't use con recovery as an excuse anymore. That's only good for a week max. So I needed another excuse to not do what I am supposed to. Sooo...I got a kitten! 

Enjoy the incredible cuteness

We have been struggling to kittenproof the house and keep the dogs from chasing him. With hubby working lots of overtime it's been a struggle getting much of anything done, but it has been full of adorable kitten fun.

I have also been trying to lose weight, and overall be a healthier person. Writing tends to involve a lot of sitting in front of a computer and a diet consisting of coffee and chocolate. I packed on a few. So I am trying to eat better, get some exercise, you know...all the unfun things.  

I signed up for a health coach to hold me accountable. The only problem with this is...I totally lie to him. 

But I feel really bad about it! That counts for something, right?  It makes me eat better and work out the couple days before he calls. And my clothes totally weigh the extra five pounds I deduct from my weight. *watches out for lightning*

So in summary...I can't announce anything official, other than the fact that I have acquired a kitten.

Distracting you with kitten pictures!

BUT make sure you save some space on your e-reader for Love's a Witch. Below are some easy links for your 1-click desires.

AMAZON 

BARNES & NOBLE

KOBO

SAMHAIN PUBLISHING **best price at the moment**

And just a little tease...because you get to hear a male voice in this upcoming book. I can't wait for you all to get inside Craig's head.

NOW...I need to get back to wrangling Shelly. If I don't get her under control soon, I think my editor may reach through my computer and smack me. 

Let me know what you are hoping to hear about in the trilogy. Because after the end of June...I wrap up writing it!

NOLA NOLA NOLA

The Romantic Times Booklover's Convention (#RT14) is just a week away!

Some people are reading every post they can find about RT, and some are so sick of it all that they are running screaming from social media.

Me? I am in a very real panic of how to get everything done that I want to. I am trying to tidy up the story line of my Hart Clan Hybrids book #3. Seriously, Shelly is being difficult. It's not my fault.

I am also trying to figure out what to pack, and where my luggage is. I don't travel all that much (read at all) so I always get a bit nervous around this time.

I will be traveling with Samara Blu. She's a new author, and she is in charge of fun. We are both on the RT Guidebook app so feel free to find and connect with us. We are always looking for fun places to visit and people to meet.

Below are the events I will be participating in. I am linking to the RT convention site, so if you somehow are missing out on this fabulousness, you can add it to your schedule pronto.

Tuesday May 13th

Cinema Craptastique - I will be playing along from home, so you will have to see me online. My flight leaves at 6am on Wednesday. I will be hopped up and tweeting as @RoxyMews along with the movie using the hashtag #RTCC. Make sure your twitter app is up and running, or if you aren't attending the con, this is a great way to play from home.  There is also a Facebook event set up for this, so check out all the details HERE.



Wednesday May 14th

Mardi Gras World Carnivale  - I am going to be a "float walker" at this event. I am going to have on a sash identifying me as a Samhain Publishing Author and from what I have heard, I will have beads to fling at all of you. Make sure you stop by, because according to the schedule I have been given it is going to be an AMAZING party.



Thursday May 15th

Samhain Saints and Sinners Party - This event is going to be an absolute blast. I am going to be with Jodi Redford representing our group blog Lust With a Laugh.

Even Mary Hughes will be sending some goodies for everyone who ventures over to the Sinner side of the party space to sit at our table.

I'm bringing buttons and magnets and some more beads, because we all need some beads to wear around New Orleans.


I will be adding a few more events that I am attending for fun, but since Samara is in charge of fun, who knows where the night will take us?



To find me, just look for my swag bag with my book covers on it (see below and pet your computer screen if so inclined). My purple hair will probably also let you find me fairly easily. And before you ask, yes, it's my natural color. ;p

A Love Worth Biting For (Out NOW)

Love's a Witch (June 2014)

Come up and say hello. I'd love to chat with everyone I can. Can't wait to meet all of you!

Camp NaNoWriMo...Because I Have To!

I keep telling myself that this year I will be organized. This year will be the one where I figure out what I am doing with my career and plan ahead.

I even make New Year's resolutions. I will be on schedule this year.

It all begins well. I start burning the midnight oil. I am writing wherever I can. I have a whole list of projects. Then I realize that I don't have a clean pair of pants. If I want a clean spoon to eat my cereal, I need to go on an excavation to the bottomless depths of my sink. Even if I find a spoon, I would have to eat cereal out of a coffee mug because there are no clean bowls either. But that means I would have to chose between cereal and coffee, and let's be honest...there is NO competition there.

It is at this point that I realize I need to clean something. So I head to the store to buy a hazmat suit. I get a killer idea about how much more fun cleaning would be if the hazmat suits smelled like chocolate and gave massages. So I should write that down, because I could use it in a story some time...maybe...oooohhh look. I have a notification on Facebook! I didn't know that show was back on. Wow, I am really behind. Some one might be talking about spoilers. I better watch those fast.

Then all of sudden it is APRIL?!?! RT is about a month away. I have things to buy/do/prep/freak out about. And it is time for the one...the only...

 

 

So I am doing it. I am getting back on track. I am finishing edits, prepping for RT, and writing about robosex!

 

 

I can do it. Right?

 



If you want to keep track of me, check out my flailings at the NaNo website HERE. Or follow me on Twitter where I will undoubtedly be posting some of my hallucinations from lack of sleep.

Pre-Order is LIVE!

I must admit that I have been poking around at Amazon and Kobo for a bit to see if the pre-order links for Love's a Witch had gone live yet.  I don't bother with Barnes & Noble, because I know that they usually run a bit behind the other two.
 
Even though I was expecting it, I still let loose a little squeal when I saw my book up there. 

Now as I am sending out review copies, I am getting the nausea that comes with sending a book out into the world.  This one is very different from the first, and I am terrified, but in the best way.

I am off to update my website next.

This is when the whole author-thing gets real. I am off to celebrate...or chew my nails...either way.  Check out the links below.

It is after midnight and well past my bedtime.  *nods off at the keyboard*

"A Love Worth Biting For" let you hear from Amber.

In "Love's a Witch" you get two sides of the story as Mary and Craig get to tell you all.

Here's the cover!
