Give A Girl Some Love

Not me, precisely, but my latest release, Old Flame. It’s in the AllAuthor Cover Contest, and I would really appreciate your support!

If you like fantasy romance, with a bit of the paranormal, some second chance romance, or friends to lovers, this book is for you.

Kort could have his pick of women, with his money, power, and good looks. Except for the one he wants. An unexpected reunion with this lady brought feelings he never hoped for. Why had they never even dated when they’d been at university thirty years ago? Since graduation, he’d had two failed marriages and a string of gold diggers after his wealth. He said he would never marry again, but Liz might prove him wrong.

Liz had been married shortly after university, but theirs had been a passionless marriage. They got along well enough, but there was no real passion in the bedroom. Now a widow, she sees no reason to look for a relationship. Kort had been a good friend at University, but they were just friends. They hadn’t even dated. But their surprise reunion brings a different vibe to their relationship. There was no way he could be interested in her beyond a holiday affair–could he?

Join me on Gambler’s Folly in OLD FLAME.

If you don’t have your copy yet, go on over to Amazon or Kindle Unlimited and start on it tonight!

And please cast your vote for the cover art. Kort and Liz need all the help they can get to sort out their romance.

Thank you in advance!

So Which Is It?

Is it a paranormal soap opera?

A paranormal fantasy?

Or something in betweeen?

You decide!

With four stories to choose from, you tell me what you think.

First up is Gambler’s Folly. First book in the series, it introduces you to this fantasy world with Damiano and Karianna. Leopard shifters who are soul mates.

Next we have Dante’s Angel. Dante has never been off Gambler’s Folly, but is going to Earth with Dam and Kari for their wedding. Who could have predicted he’d find his fated mate there?

And The Russian. Dmitri was over 500 years old. He didn’t want another relationship, let alone a mate. Danni, at 23, had no time for romance between work and taking care of her mother. But when nature calls…

And finally–for now–Old Flame. Billionaire and bear shifter Kort Behrens had no luck with love. Elizabeth had been a widow for four years and saw no reason to seek a relationship. But they’re going to Gambler’s Folly…

Gambler’s Folly, where every love story is a gamble, and Fate always deals the final hand. She’s shuffling the cards as we speak. Who’s next on her list?

So, is it paranormal romance? Paranormal fantasy? Soap opera?

What do you think?

But as always,

If you do, you’re in luck! I’ve recently chosen to put Old Flame up on Kindle Unlimited. I have so many friends who are enrolled, who have asked if my books were available there, that I thought I’d give it a shot.

If you are a voracious reader, you might do well to check it out. I can sit and read a cozy mystery in an evening. Thrillers take a little longer, especially if they are particularly convoluted and involved–like one of my favorite authors, D. D. Black.

Several of my author friends have their books available on KU as well and seem to have good luck.

So if you use Kindle Unlimited, or if you just like eBooks, go on over to Amazon and check out OLD FLAME. While you’re there, pick up copies of the other books in the series, such as The Russian.

Old Flame–a second chance, Friends To Lovers, paranormal fantasy romance, set on an exotic resort world.

The Russian–Great age difference, Fated Mates, paranormal fantasy romance, once again on Gambler’s Folly, exotic vacation spot of the galaxy. Gambler’s Folly, where every love story is a gamble, and Fate always deals the final hand.

And of course, shifters galore!

Go pick out something to read tonight.

Author Frustrations

There are days when it is great to be a writer.

And then there are those other days…

I do my online posts every day, and every day someone tells me they’ve read my book, they love my book, or they’ve bought my book. And since I released it through Draft2Digital, and they have links to all the various retailers who carry it, I can go to their site and look up my sales records.

What I don’t understand is their records show no sales of my new book Old Flame, even though I’m getting loads of comments and statements that people have read it.

So what am I to think? Are people lying just to make me feel good? Are the folks at Draft2Digital behind on posting sales?

I love writing and I know quite a few people who wait impatiently for me to release something new. And I don’t intend to give up writing. But a little bit of support would be fantastic.

So if you know someone who would love a cross-genre paranormal/fantasy romance, set on a fantasy vacation destination filled with luxury accommodations, and shifters of every sort, send them my way.

Currently, I have two series. My latest release, Old Flame, is from the Gambler’s Folly series. Gambler’s Folly, where every love story is a gamble and Fate always deals the final hand.

Do you like second chance romances? Friends to lovers? Bear shifters?

Give Old Flame a read and tell me what you think.

Enough complaining. Have a wonderful week and happy reading.

I know, some people are very superstitious about today. But for our daughter, it has always been a great day. Anyone else have the same experience?

And it’s Father’s Day weekend as well! Wishing all of you guys out there a wonderful celebration.

As you know, Old Flame is now out there in the world. So far, all the comments I’ve heard have been positive, which is exciting. The down side is that I’m not seeing a lot in the way of sales yet.

This series–Gambler’s Folly— is a cross-genre paranormal/fantasy romance in a unique universe. The whole concept revolves around a vacation destination world and the capital city, Speranza. In book 1, we meet the owner of a high end, luxurious hotel casino chain–the Stella d’Oro– where high stake games of various sorts are played.

Remember, on Gambler’s Folly, every love story is a gamble, and Fate always plays the final hand.

What would you gamble for love?

The tone is sensual, and high heat in this paranormal romance series. Most couples are mature, featuring soulmates, fated mates, and a bit of off-world politics. There is strong emotional and physical chemistry between the couples, resulting in a forever bond.

In Old Flame, we have bear shifters. It is a friends-to-lovers story, with a bit of second chance in the mix. Our heroine is a widow going off for a month long vacation to our favorite world. After a surprise reunion with an old college friend–who is also traveling to Gambler’s Folly– sparks begin to become embers as they travel to their destination.

If your a fan of The Psy-Changeling Series, by Nalini Singh, Immortals After Dark, by Kresley Cole, or Dark Protectors, by Rebecca Zanetti, check out Gambler’s Folly and Old Flame!

And when you finish the story, please leave a review for me!

Have a wonderful Father’s Day Weekend.

We’re just past the first week after the release of Old Flame, and so far, all the feedback has been positive. I’m still waiting for the print books to be published, but they’re working on it. When they’re available, I’ll let you know.

Old Flame is part of the Gambler’s Folly series. The series is a cross-genre paranormal/fantasy romance set on a luxurious off-world resort known as Gambler’s Folly. Each new installment follows a new couple blending romance, shifter mythology, suspense and adult themes. And Old Flame is no different.

Kort and Liz are a mature couple and bear shifters. In this friends to lovers–with a bit of second chance–romance you’ll become immersed in the world as well as the budding romance. They met at university and then went their separate ways after graduating. When they reconnect on the way to Gambler’s Folly, sparks are struck that become so much more.

What would you gamble for love?

Come with me to Gambler’s Folly, where every love story is a gamble, and Fate always deals the final hand.

Release Day!

Yes, Old Flame is finally live in the world! It has been a long journey, but we made it!

Today is Release Day for Book 4 in my Gambler’s Folly series, and it’s still on sale!

But don’t put it off any longer. The sale price of $0.99 ends tonight, so get it while you can.

For now, only the ebook is available, but the print will be along shortly.

So, what is this book about?

If you’ve read any of the books in the series, you’ll remember all my MCs are shifters, of one kind or another. In the case of Old Flame, Kort and Elizabeth are bear shifters. He’s a billionaire, a bit of a dom, and tired of dating women who are only interested in his money. She’s a widow, an energy healer, and doesn’t even want to think about dating, let alone relationships.

But you know how Mother Nature can be, especially where shifters are concerned. She can’t keep from meddling. So as these two are heading to Gambler’s Folly, she makes plans for a surprise.

Join Kort and Liz, as well as most of our other couples, on Gambler’s Folly once again. And let the games begin!
