Blood Rose is now on Amazon AND Loose Id

Woot!!! I just found out that Blood Rose, book one in my Realm of Nine series, is now on sale at Loose Id AND Amazon.com!

To save his people, a half-mad prince must enlist the aid of a woman who has no reason to help him…and who he has every reason to desire.

At sixteen, Rose Carrison lost both her parents and her freedom. Since her father’s death, Rose has had to pick up the mantle of her family’s legacy and guard an object of incredible power, one the monsters who murdered her parents would kill to get their hands on. After ten years on the run, Rose’s luck finally runs out. A fate worse than death threatens to consume her. Then, out of the darkness, comes the most unlikely of rescuers...

Grayson van Court is a man skating on the edge of damnation. He’s a revenant: a powerful, blood-drinking, returned-from-the-dead, magical creature that no other magical species wants anything to do with. For centuries, Gray has bargained and fought for the revenants’ right to survive, but his efforts are hampered by his sociopathic mother and the madness that permeates his own soul. When Gray rescues Rose from his mother’s machinations, his intention is only to stop the attacks against his people that would surely come if Rose were harmed. But then he sees her, and everything changes. Two people who should never have met soon find themselves fighting side by side for the chance at a love that could prove to be their salvation.

Blood Rose is now available!!!!

I'm so excited I'm practically bouncing - Blood Rose, book one in my Realm of Nine series, is now on sale here at Loose Id! I hope you enjoy Blood Rose. It's a dark, full-length, male/female paranormal romance and it's very different from anything else I've written so far.

International Relations is now available!

MLR Press released my newest story, International Relations, on Thanksgiving!!!

International Relations is a sweet contemporary male/male romance and the first in an ongoing series of the same title. I hope you enjoy this first look into the lives of Connor Marino and Delaney Carmichael - they'll be showing up again in a few weeks when Winter Wonderland, comes out on December 14th.

Buy link: http://www.mlrbooks.com/Bookstore.php?bookid=RSINTREL

Below are the book blurb and cover for International Relations:

Connor Marino has driven Delaney Carmichael to distraction since the seventh grade. They may be in college now, but that doesn’t stop Delaney from cursing when he and Connor are assigned to work together in their Model United Nations class. Connor, with his Irish-Italian good looks, South African accent, and athletic body is an international smorgasbord of hotness that still leaves Delaney tongue-tied, and the admittedly awkward bookworm doesn’t like that one bit.

When Connor drops by Delaney’s dorm room, things come to a head between them. What’s supposed to be a simple discussion on international relations turns into something much more...

International Relations releases this Friday!!!

How are you celebrating Black Friday this year? I'm forgoing shopping (don't hate me - my holiday shopping is already done) and instead my plans for this Friday include a book release: International Relations!!!

Yep, the first story in my ongoing International Relations series is due out November 26th - only two and a half weeks before book two in the series, Winter Wonderland, comes out.

Book News: International Relations

I'm so excited to announce that I have not one, not two, but THREE stories coming out in the next month! The first two I've talked about before - Blood Rose (a full-length male/female paranormal romance novel) and Winter Wonderland (a male/male contemporary romance short story). Recently, I signed a contract with MLR Press for International Relations, a male/male contemporary romance short story!

International Relations is the first story in an ongoing series about Connor Marino and Delaney Carmichael. I don't have a release date for it yet, but at the latest it'll be out on December 9th, the Friday before Winter Wonderland releases. What makes it more exciting is that Winter Wonderland is book two in the International Relations series. That's right - there'll be back-to-back stories for Connor and Delaney!!!

Both International Relations and Winter Wonderland can be read as standalones. I hope you all like Delaney and Connor as much as I do. It was pure pleasure to write these two and watching how they and their relationship develop over the course of the series has been and I hope will continue to be pure joy for me.

Below is the (unedited) book blurb for International Relations:

Connor Marino has driven Delaney Carmichael to distraction since the seventh grade. They may be in college now, but that doesn’t stop Delaney from cursing when he and Connor are assigned to work together in their Model United Nations class. Connor, with his Irish-Italian good looks, South African accent, and athletic body is an international smorgasbord of hotness that still leaves Delaney tongue-tied, and the admittedly awkward bookworm doesn’t like that one bit.

Book News: Winter Wonderland

I’m very happy to announce that on December 14th – exactly one month from today - Winter Wonderland will be available at MLR Press!

Winter Wonderland is a male/male contemporary romance that takes place in New York during Christmas. Winter Wonderland is the sweetest story (not cloying sweet - just sweet) I’ve ever written and I'm looking forward to sharing more news about Connor and Delaney soon.

Below are the book blurb and cover for Winter Wonderland:

For Connor Marino, Christmas can’t get here soon enough. It’s his first holiday alone with his boyfriend, Delaney Carmichael, and they plan to celebrate by playing tourists in New York City on Christmas Eve, followed by a romantic Christmas day at home. But lately Delaney’s
behavior has been odd and Connor is concerned. Connor knows Delaney loves him. Yet he can’t help but wonder if their “Winter Wonderland” of a holiday will be the thing that sends his and Delaney’s relationship into deep freeze...or be the gift the two of them need.
