What’s on sale?
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?
GAMBLER’S FOLLY The first book of the Gambler’s Folly series is also on sale. Damiano is regarded as one of the most powerful figures in the planet’s underworld. Karianna is a simple girl from Earth, with a marriage in ruins, and a husband addicted to gambling. When said husband loses her to Damiano on one turn of the cards, shocked doesn’t begin to describe her feelings. What will she do now, as wife of this powerful and glamorous man? Can she fit into his world? And what secrets does his life hold?
And I haven’t seen you over at Smashwords browsing the book sale yet.
Now the sale is almost over. It ends this Wednesday, July 31. Are you going to miss it altogether?
Since you’ve been a little hesitant, I’ve increased my discount on all the books in the sale. All the books in both series and Master of the Fleet are available for either $0.99 or $1.00. I can’t figure out the difference in the price. They’re all priced the same as far as the original price. Must be some weird glitch in the system.
But, for a buck, you can buy any of my books through Wednesday. You can buy all the books in either series, or all the books by Sultonna Nadine, for the price of a latte.
So go on over to the sale. Find a new book boyfriend. Meet the hunky shifters on Gambler’s Folly or the Talented guys over on Esperance.
Yes, we are right into summer now here in the Southeast. And I am so looking forward to cooler temperatures, though we still have to get through August before Mother Nature will even consider any sign of relenting.

Yes, here in the Southeast, Summer has rushed in with heat more reminiscent of late July or August. It’s only June, but I’m already looking forward to winter. Our little dog, Lugnut, isn’t sure about all this heat either. He went out into the yard with my husband for a few minutes and, when they came back in, he lay down on the cold tile.
On a sad note, our sweet kitty, Miss Kitty, crossed over early Sunday morning with little warning that anything was wrong. I’m still recovering from the suddenness of her passing. Rest In Peace sweet lady.

In other news, we now have several black snakes stealing our chicken eggs. We’ve built new nest boxes, bricked up any places where they could get in, but they are still in there stealing eggs. Anyone got an ideas?
But for writing…
I’m still working on the edits for Old Flame, for the Gambler’s Folly series. Editing is so slow going at times, but it does make for a better book. And my editor is nearly finished with Ben of Blackstone’s Forge, for Esperance. One book for each series! I haven’t forgotten you. It has just been a little chaotic around here, between physical therapy, chiropractic, vet visits, and summer weather. But I’ll try to get back to a more regular schedule.
I know. I’m a pushover, but I’ve decided to extend the offer onJareth, First Lordthrough Monday.
So now you don’t have an excuse!
Go on over to Book Funneland find the link to your favorite retailer.
Set on a rustic world lost to Earth centuries before, Esperance has developed a clan system, each clan ruled by a First Lord with psychic abilities. Jareth is the current ruler of Clan Brannach. A young widower, he has no heir, but has really had no interest in finding a new lady since his wife died in childbirth. But when he sees Viviane, he knows she’s the one.
Viviane is the daughter of the neighboring First Lord, but she would love to break all ties to the ruling house. The pomp and circumstance are too tiring and frustrating for her. Recently widowed, she is faced with having to go back home until Jareth comes riding in to take her back to his clan. Somehow she neglected to tell him she’s the clan leader’s daughter…
Can Jareth win the heart of this lady before he starts a clan war?
From now through tomorrow night you can download a copy of Jareth, First Lord for FREE!
If you’ve been wanting to give my writing a read, now is the time to try it. Book 1 from the Esperance Series is now free to download from BookFunnel!
A paranormal fantasy romance set on a different world where paranormal abilities abound, meet Jareth, the First Lord of Clan Brannach. In a dispute between his clan and a neighbor, he invokes an ancient penalty–The Choosing. And when he makes his choice, he can’t take his eyes off of the raven haired beauty with sapphire eyes.
Viviane is the daughter of a First Lord, but eschews all the trappings of the ruling house. But when her husband dies, she’s left with scarcely enough to make do. Of course, being included in The Choosing and taken to a new clan wasn’t part of her plan. And she has hidden the fact her father is the clan ruler from this dark and mysterious lord.
So, can Jareth win his lady’s heart before he starts a clan war?
I’ve been getting the next book from Gambler’s Folly edited–hopefully for the last time–so I thought I should give you a few snippets. I also have a book coming later this year from Esperance!
So who wants an excerpt?
OLD FLAME
Gambler’s Folly Book 4
They hadn’t spoken or met since their university days 30 years ago, but here they were on their way to Houston to board the shuttle for Gambler’s Folly. What mischief does Mother Nature have up her sleeve this time?
The landing went well, but he noticed her fingers clutching at the armrest of her seat.
“All right?” he asked.
“Landing always makes me nervous. It’s too close to crashing.”
“Any landing you walk away from is a good one,” Kort said, quoting the old saying. “Let’s go eat some lunch. We can’t check in for another two hours.”
Lunch was good. Another thing he’d always liked about Liz was that she wasn’t afraid to eat. She’d managed to stay at a good weight even after all these years. She had a little extra padding, but he didn’t like stick figure women anyway. With his size, they always seemed so fragile. Liz, on the other hand, might be a lot of fun.
What was he thinking? Get your mind out of the gutter, Kort told himself. Why would she be interested in him? This was Liz, who might be intimidated by his social position, but would never let it dazzle her.
“Kort? Where have you gone?” Liz asked.
“Somewhere a long way away,” he admitted. “How is your lunch?”
“Fantastic! I’d forgotten how much I love Thai food. Thank you, Kort.”
“Well, I couldn’t let you starve, could I?” he teased.
“Are you saying I need to watch my weight?”
“Not at all. I like a woman I can get hold of and wrestle to the ground.”
Where in hell had that come from? Wrestle to the ground? Good lord, what must she think?
Liz doubled over in laughter, partially easing his embarrassment. Apparently she wasn’t offended.
Ben of Blackstone’s Forge
Esperance Book 5
Everyone had assumed that Ben and Deborah would marry once they were old enough. But when Ben went away to finish his apprenticeship, someting happened and nobody knew what. Suddenly Deborah was distant, cold, and at times, downright hostile. As the oldest daughter, tradition said her sisters couldn’t marry before she did and she wasn’t ready. Ben’s father was urging Ben to find a wife, but he couldn’t think of anyone but the Deborah he knew before his apprenticeship journey. What does the future hold for them?
“Thanks, Mr. Blackstone,” she said. “And see if you can teach Ben some manners.”
With a sway in her hips that heated Ben more than the forge, she turned and disappeared down the walk toward the town square.
“Why don’t the two of you get together?” Seth asked his son. “She’s good-looking, from a good family, and can cook with the best of them.”
“Yes, and her tongue is sharper than a carbon steel blade,” Ben added.
“All she needs is a firm hand and a good seeing to,” the elder Blackstone said with a laugh.
“It would take a brave man to bed Deborah Wills,” Ben said, picking up a pair of tongs. “A man could wake up and find himself neutered.”
“Now, Ben, she’s not as bad as all that.”
“No? I think she hates all things male,” Ben said. “She rides a mare, her dog is a bitch, and the cat has been cautioned to have only female kits in her litters.”
His father’s hearty laugh filled the forge, finally bringing a smile to Ben’s face.
“I thought you two were an item there for a while,” Seth said.
“Yeah, I thought so, too. I don’t know what happened after I left to work with Bellamy Forge. We were good when I left, but when I came back she wouldn’t give me the time of day.”
“I haven’t seen her with anyone else,” Seth answered. “Why don’t you ask her out for the Gather dance?”
“She won’t come. I’ve asked her out to the last three dances and she’s refused. I’ve asked her out to dinner and been turned down. Same with coffee and sandwiches. She’s not interested.”
“Are you asking anyone to the dance? A man your age should be thinking about a wife.”
“I was going to ask Moire. She will at least speak to me.”
Watch for these two books later this year. I’ll keep you posted on progress and release dates.
