Sourcebooks Casablanca Romance Authors

Hey everyone! Brooklyn Ann here. I've had to make a tough decision. With my publishing schedule for the year and the fact that now that I've released The Highwayman's Bite , I won't be having any Scandals With Bite books releasing in 2018, (Though don't worry. I have a feeling that there are more stories in that world to be told.) I've decided to leave the Casablanca Author blog for now. However, I WILL remain on the Team Sourcebooks Facebook Page (If you're not following our page, do it so you don't miss out!) because then I'll still be able to spread the word when one of my books goes on sale or if I have any fun giveaways or appearances. Speaking of appearances, I will be attending the 2018 RT Booklover's Convention in Reno this May, along with many other Sourcebooks authors. In fact, the fantabulous Paige Tyler and I will be on a panel together AND be hosting two amazing parties along with other amazing authors! Check out my Appear...

It's here! The Highwayman's Bite is  HERE ! You can get it on Kindle iBooks Nook Kobo and  Google Play ! This might be the last Scandals With Bite book in the series, we'll see. I had a lot of fun playing with the kidnapper-trope and seeing if I could bring anything new to it. Also, the legal situation with rogue vampires is so frustrating and a catch-22, that it reminds me of a lot of real laws in the world, lol. Anyway, I am so excited about this one and I hope you all enjoy it! Here's the first chapter! Chapter One Lancashire, England, 1825 Vivian Stratford peered out the carriage window and yawned, though sleep was impossible on this long journey. The full silver moon in the sky was so bright that the carriage lanterns were almost unnecessary. The rutted road to Blackpool was fully illuminated, a bright path to her impending isolation. Vivian’s father had packed her off to her reclusive uncle, who would keep her locked a...

I have been so busy between revisions on my newest Hearts of Metal book and wrapping up The Highwayman's Bite that I've been slacking at blogging. So I'm going to offer a free copy of my Heavy Metal Romance, Kissing Vicious, and also provide an exclusive excerpt of The Highwayman's Bite! Get the Freebie HERE!  And if Rock Stars aren't your thing, my regency paranormal romance, The Highwayman's Bite is up for Pre-Order! Check out the excerpt! Excerpt of The Highwayman's Bite Rhys awoke to the sound of coughing. Not the gentle clearing of a throat, or the embellished affectation Madame Renarde had employed when trying to make a point, but a deep, racking explosion that echoed through the cave walls. “Are you quite all right, Madame Renarde?” he inquired softly. The ladies’ companion lit the lantern beside her bunk and blew her nose with a honk. “It’s the damp,” she explained. “I’ve never been able to abide it long.” Rhys ...

The sixth installment of my Scandals With Bite series is coming soon!  Here's the blurb: One stolen kiss When Vivian Stratford ruins her reputation by challenging a suitor to a duel, she is packed of to her great uncle’s estate until the scandal blows over.

Awesome news! My publisher is doing another  Scandals With Bite  promo. Now  BITE ME, YOUR GRACE  is on sale for $1.99! It's been two years since they've put any of these on sale, so you'll want to get these while you can. Kindle iBooks Nook Kobo Google Play    I wrote Bite Me, Your Grace shortly after my mom passed away. It was a departure from my usual darker stuff, but still has a touch of cheerful macabre. The title was meant to be a joke, but it stuck. I pitched it as "Whitney, My Love" with fangs. Here's the blurb: First in a witty, sexy paranormal Regency romance series, England's "vampire craze" is causing much vexation for the Lord Vampire of London, Ian Ashton. To save his reputation, Ian enlists aspiring authoress Angelica Winthrop, who has hidden plans of her own. Dr. John Polidori's tale "The Vampyre" burst upon the Regency scene along with Mary Shelley's Frankenstein after that notorious...

Hey, everyone! I've been crazy busy getting the final proof of Wynter's Bite ready for its release on Valentine's Day! The idea for this one created itself when I realized that Justus, the villain from His Ruthless Bite , was not what he seemed to be. All of the havoc he'd created was out of love for the woman he lost. So... In Wynter's Bite, we get his side of the story. And he also reunites with his beloved. However, the dangers that face them both have only just begun. For a PDF of this media kit, go HERE . Amazon iBooks Nook Kobo And since I already did an excerpt of the first chapter on my blog , I figured I'd do a bonus, never been read excerpt here. Justus de Wynter, Viscount de Wynter, and second in command to the Lord Vampire of Rochester, frowned as he heard the group of tittering girls making their malicious plan. With his preternatural hearing, he knew that the young misses of the aristocracy were not the innocent...

Hey everyone, Brooklyn Ann here. I don't know about you, but I am worn out from the festivities. Aside from having two huge family dinners back to back, I had to cook the second one for my mother's side of the family. It was delightful, but a ton of work. Needless to say I did not have a chance to lay back and enjoy Christmas books and movies. I didn't even have much time to announce the release of my own holiday story, Metal and Mistletoe, my first interracial Christmas romance. Here's the blurb: Fighting the darkness of their pasts, talented heavy metal musicians Curtis Scrimm and Dezra Hopkins seek holiday solitude but find each other. A HOLIDAY REDEMPTION Curtis Scrimm and Dezra Hopkins have lived both the highs and the lows of life—literally. They’ve both known the joy of performing to hordes of screaming fans and the horror of betraying all that they love and admire. They’ve both just gotten out of rehab. But things are al...

I live in Northern Idaho, so late July and early August is a crucial time for me. It's huckleberry season. Huckleberries are somewhat related to blueberries, only they have a more extreme flavor. Very sweet with a touch of tartness. They're fairly expensive, selling for over fifty dollars a gallon, but like many Idahoans, I pick my own. To go get huckleberries, one needs to go high up in the mountains. Then you find your spot (and don't tell anyone where it is.) The bushes look like this: It can take a few hours to get a gallon, but it's so worth it. Be sure to pick them with your fingers because rakes will kill the bushes. When you finish, your fingers will be purple. Then when you get home, you still have to wash the berries. It's a ton of work, but totally worth it. Because now you can have huckleberry milkshakes, huckleberries on top of cake and ice cream, huckleberry jam, or just eat them straight like my grandpa. Some...
