Gambler’s Folly, where every love story is a gamble and Fate always deals the final hand.
Join me on Gambler’s Folly for this mainstream sensual, second chance, friends-to-lovers, paranormal fantasy romance.
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?
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!

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.

I know. I’m late for last week’s post, so this one will have to do double duty. But let me explain.
My husband had a total shoulder surgery last Wednesday. I don’t now if you know someone who’s had this particular procedure, but it makes life difficult during the recover. In his case, it is doubly so, since the surgery was done on his dominant side. So eating, washing, doing anything really, has been awkward. Everything is set up for him to use his left hand–he’s a lefty–and so everything is out of reach.
Having to do everything with one hand is awkward as well, like getting dressed or taking a shower. Unless you’ve had a shoulder issue of some sort, you don’t realize how much you use those muscles–even when you’re not using that arm.
In the meantime, I’ve finished my latest edit of Whiskey Jug Genie and of Gregor Thayne. One is a stand alone for my Sultonna Nadine books. The other is the next book for Esperance–after Ben of Blackstone’s Forge.
This was my first time through Gregor Thayne, and I’m happy to say it wasn’t as bad as I thought it might be. Yes, it needs work, and my editor will probably tear out her hair–or mine. But as a first read through, I was happy with the result.
Whiskey Jug Genie is just fun. And I’m so glad my husband came up with the idea. Since it isn’t part of a series, it is written under my pen name, Sultonna Nadine. Imagine, if you will, one of the djinn trapped in a whiskey jug for 200 years. He’d spent considerable time before this in the deep south of the United States and picked up quite a southern accent.
Now imagine him freed in modern day London, bound to the owner of his jug, who is an apothecary shop owner.
Next in Esperance will be Ben of Blackstone’s Forge.
Ben’s family has a way with iron, a particular talent which runs in the family. During his childhood, up until he went away to serve an apprenticeship with another forge, Ben had planned to marry Deborah. They’d always seen themselves together, as had their families.
But while he was away, something changed. The young woman will scarcely speak to him as they pass in the street. But no one can tell him why. His father keeps hinting he should find a wife. But the only woman he has ever wanted to marry was Deborah.
Deborah had always known she and Ben were meant for each other. But while she waited for him to return, something happened which she has kept secret even from her mother. She can’t marry Ben, or anyone else. Her father strongly suggests she at least go out with some young men suitable for her, but he doesn’t understand the situation. And she can’t explain.
So what are they to do when their parents arrange a marriage for them?
No, I haven’t abandoned all the folks on Gambler’s Folly. It has just been very busy around here lately.
But just to prove I’ve been doing something, here’s the first few paragraphs from Old Flame.
Old Flame
Chapter 1
Kort Behrens stepped out onto the front porch of his elegant home late in the afternoon. With its tall windows facing the setting sun, the house sat back into the mountains of the Sierra Nevada range in Northern California.
“All right, Ernie,” he told his estate manager. “I’ll be back in about a month, depending on how things shake out. You know how it is.”
“Indeed I do, sir,” the man of about forty-five told him. “Have a nice vacation.”
“Thanks, Ernie.”
Folding his six foot eight inch frame into the limo, Kort relaxed back to enjoy the drive.
Two hours later, his driver let him out at the Reno Hyatt and passed his luggage to the concierge. Though the limo was comfortable, a long drive always made him stiff. Maybe it was age creeping up on him. He’d turned fifty-five this year after all. Even doing his best to stay in shape, the stress of his life took its toll. Still, he looked good for his age, his light brown hair only now beginning to show some gray at the temples.
Sinking into the comfortable bed, he dozed until the soft chime on his com woke him at six-thirty. After a warm shower and change of clothes, he took the lift down to the third floor dining room. Raised voices caught his attention as he entered the room and breaking his contemplative mood.
A few tables away, a woman with shoulder length blond hair looked beaten under the verbal assault from the man who stood across the table. There was no reason for this sort of altercation in public, especially in a place like the Hyatt. Time to intervene.
And the story begins.
How does it end?
With a happily-ever-after, of course.
