It's Release Day for Light My Fire, a Charity Anthology

 I  can’t believe that last week I released another Christmas anthology ( Winter Wishes & Holiday Kisses )  and today I’m releasing a Fall-themed anthology. Publishing is so weird. Anyway, this new collection,  Light My Fire ,  is a charity boxset that revolves around fall-themed activities like Halloween, Bonfire Night, and Thanksgiving with lots of swoony romance (both open and closed door). All proceeds from this collection go to  Wounded Warrior   Project  and  International Mental Health Association  for suicide prevention. This limited edition collection includes a new novella in my Kingsmill Courtships series,  A Bonfire Night to Remember , about a couple who had a one-night-stand that changed their lives forever… and how they find their way back to each other. Light My Fire A Contemporary Romance Charity Collection Bonfire Night, Homecoming, Harvest Festivals, whatever the reason – ‘tis the season to sparkle. Gather your nearest and dearest (or those who you wish were) clos

A New Holiday Romance Anthology for Fall!

  I love release days, but I especially love Christmas anthologies. This collection, in particular, is important because  Let’s Get Naughty Volume  1 was one of the first anthologies I ever wrote a story for–so to be writing for  Let’s Get Naughty Vol. 3   makes me so happy.  And this year’s  LGN Vol. 3  holiday story is a Kingsmill Courtships novella called  Snowbound with Lily.  This story revisits Lily and Gage Mosby (the hero and heroine of  The Summer Promise ) and gives them a Christmas story (and a snowed-in, sexy situation) that will change their lives forever. 🙂 Let’s Get Naughty 3 A Limited Edition Holiday Romance Collection It’s never too soon to get on Santa’s naughty list…that means it’s time for Volume 3! Cancel your plans and spend this holiday season with 24 romance authors who have teamed up to bring you a delicious holiday treat. This holiday collection will have it all: fake relationships, second chances, enemies to lovers, friends to lovers, snowed-in sexiness, and

In Search of Truth is on sale for the first time!

  In Search of Truth, book 3 in the Deadly Force series , released in February 2020, just before the Covid lockdowns began. So I never did any bookstore visits or reader conventions with this book. While it still sold, I was always sad that it never got the attention the other books in the   Deadly Force series   got (because each one is like my baby! lol). But I recently heard from my publisher that they’ve put this book on sale for $1.99 (from $7.99) until 9/28. Since I have no control over the pricing of this book, now is the time to grab it! And I hope you love it as much as I loved writing it. In Search of Truth... on sale now! Buried treasure… buried feelings…all about to surface… Anthropologist Allison Pinckney is stunned when she inherits the key to a seventeenth century pirate cipher that makes her the target of two brutal arms dealers. Now, to save those she loves, she must solve the cipher. With this perilous mission growing ever more dangerous, she reluctantly seeks help fr

Beyond Courage Release Day and a Sale

 I  love release days, but the   Beyond Courage Anthology  is another collection I’ve been waiting for for months! Actually, I’ve been waiting for this one for over a year. Almost two years ago, I wrote a novella called   Searching for Ever After   for the   Wedding Tails Anthology –a project I did with other Sourcebooks authors. Because of the parameters of the story, I had to keep the story lighter that I normally write. And since this novella is part of my   Deadly Force romantic suspense series ,   and takes place a week after   In Search of Truth (book 3 in the series)   ends, it normally would’ve been darker and more suspenseful with at least one steamy scene.   So when the  Beyond Courage Anthology   project came up, I decided to rewrite  Searching for Ever After  with a more steamy, romantic suspense tone. And a huge plus is that this project includes some of my favorite author friends. So I got to work with friends and rewrite a story so it fits better within the series–a huge
