Yes, Old Flame is now available for pre-order! So far, I only have the link for the ebook, but the print and audio will be along shortly.

Release date is scheduled for June 1, but you can go ahead and order it now!

Where?

Over at Books2Read!

This will be Book 4 from my Gambler’s Folly and will features bear shifters this time. It’s a fantasy romance, and a bit of a second chance/mature couple story.

They met when they were in university and, while they were good friends, had never actually dated. Since graduation, they haven’t even spoken. He’s in California, she’s in Appalachia. Now, thirty years later, she’s a widow and visiting her daughter in California. For her birthday, her kids bought her a round trip vacation package to Gambler’s Folly.

During her overnight stay at a hotel, before taking the flight to Houston for the shuttle, they meet again when he intervenes in an altercation in which she is involved. They discover they’re both scheduled to be on the shuttle to Gambler’s Folly, which alleviates part of stress over the trip.

But there is a surprise waiting for them when they arrive. Mother Nature has decided to intervene and bring them a little romance.

So go over and order your copy of Old Flame.

And as always,

Don’t Forget…

I assume, since you’re here on my blog, that you are a reader.

As a reader, do you also review?

Now, why am I asking this question? And why is it important?

I look at my sales every month and see the figures. And then I look for reviews, but very rarely ever find any. So I’m left to draw my own conclusions. Is it because the people who bought the books just don’t do reviews? Or is it that they didn’t like the book and don’t want to leave a bad review?

So far, the few reviews I’ve received are positive ones–mostly five star. Are they the only people who liked the book?

Why does it matter?

If you’re books are on Amazon, you get very little from Amazon unless you have at least 50 reviews. It doesn’t matter what kind of reviews they are, as long as they show up. Once you’ve reached their magic number, they will promote your book in their recommended for you lists. Otherwise, you’re on your own.

So you’ve spend all this time and money to publish a book and now you have to do all your own marketing and promotions, unless you want to spend more money to have someone help. And that adds up pretty quickly. But if Amazon were to help give you a boost, it would definitely help.

Reviewing a book you’ve read is one of the best ways to help an author you love, especially an indie author. You can also share the book with your friends or mention it on social media. But reviews are fantastic.

So the next time you read a book, stop long enough to give a review, or at least a rating. It only takes a minute, doesn’t have to be too long, and really helps the author.

Have you read my book?

Did you leave a review? I hope so…

Anyway, that’s all for now. Have a great week.

And as always,

Don’t Forget…

Yes. Bears.

As in bear shifters.

As in Old Flame, the next book in the Gambler’s Folly series.

She’s a widow, not looking for romance, and on vacation to visit her daughter and grandkids for her birthday. As a surprise, her son and daughter bought her a round trip vacation package to Gambler’s Folly. She has no idea what she’s going to do for a month on a foreign world, especially by herself, but can’t turn down the gift.

He’s a billionaire with no attachments and tired of gold diggers who are only interested in his money. He’s heading to Gambler’s Folly for business. He gave up the idea of romance years ago and isn’t looking for a relationship.

Thirty years ago, the two of them were friends at university and haven’t seen each other since graduating. Until the meet at the hotel where they are both staying before meeting the shuttle. They’d never dated at university, but something has changed during those intervening years.

And neither knew the other was a shifter.

With any luck at all, Old Flame will be out this summer. I’m nearly finished with the final edits. Cover is mostly finished. Blurbs are, well, not ready yet. I keep putting them off.

If you haven’t read the rest of the series, go on over to Amazon, Smashwords, or just about any retailer and catch up! Whether you love leopards or wolves, you’ll find something that suites your fancy.

In the meantime, keep reading!

And as always,

The storm, that is. If you’re anywhere here in the Southeast, you’ll know what I’m talking about. Helene really did a number down here, especially in the Carolinas.

We had quite a bit of rain and a little wind here where we are, but nothing like on the coast. A large, mostly dead, branch fell down and bent a lean-to roof behind one of our sheds, but the house and vehicles are fine. It could have been so much worse.

I know a lot of you out there have had a rough week, so I’m going to have a weekend sale, beginning Friday!

All my books on Smashwords will be available this Friday, October 4, through Monday, October 7 for only $0.99 each!

So if you’ve never read any of my books, or haven’t finished a series, now is the time! Go on over to Smashwords and find you next read for the weekend. All books from both series, plus Master of the Fleet, all for $0.99 each.

Whiskey Jug Genie is also on sale, from Sultonna Nadine. So if you like a little humor with your magic, check it out.

In the meantime, stay safe. Mother Nature is having a tantrum this year.

JARETH, FIRST LORD Book 1 from the Esperance series is on sale this weekend. He is a widowed ruler without an heir. On a trip over inter-clan issues, he meets Viviane, a young widow with no place left to turn. Well, she could move back in with her parents, but… just no. When he chooses to take her home with him, as part of the spoils, she sees it as a better option.

Somehow, she didn’t bother to mention her father was First Lord of her clan, which rather set the two clans back into conflict. Can he win her heart before the two clans go to war? And can she open her heart to marry this tall, handsome, and somewhat mysterious First Lord?

Get Jareth, First Lord here!
