Double Release Day!I was so excited to find out that eXtasy put up my Lost Shifer free read this morning. That means I have a double release day, because, Ash Swan my co-authored book with Amber Kell also came out today at Resplendence Publishing ! Since I know many of you have been looking forward to both of these, I've posted the blurbs and buy links below.   Hey, There's Fur in My Wedding CakeThe last thing Russell wants to do is go back to the home that his childhood Wolf pack exiled him from. Yet, like it or not, that's where Russell's sorry ass is going. The fact that he's doing so in order to attend a wedding between his old Alpha and a feline shifter only make it more aggravating. Just when Russell least expects it, a most welcome diversion comes, via way a cute, sexy Lynx shifter named Dalton. Cob Brothers Series, Book One When Prince Landon Cob sees Brian Dawson, he's not sure what to make of the bicycle courier with a pierced nose and green streaks in his hair, but the man's gentleness in feeding the water fowl strikes a chord with him. In this story of Swan Prince meets Cinderfella, two men from different backgrounds have to find a way to counter magic and divergent lifestyles to find their happy ending. |
I have some exciting news!

 First off, I found the perfect picture of Noah for my trading cards. I'm getting them made up for GayRom, so if you're there, make sure to pick one up.Secondly, I'm geeked to announce that I'll be starting a new series, called the The Night Wardens. The first book will come out this October and is going to be titled, Night Terrors. It will be a M/M, paranormal that's going to be edgy and dark. More details on that to come later. Finally, in addition to the one free read that I already promised you, which will be available soon at eXtasy Books, I'll be posting some more free reads here on this blog. They're going to be titled, The Chronicles of Shane and will follow our favorite assassin's adventures. |

Description Exiled
from his childhood pack and hated by his family, Wolf shifter, Ranger
vowed that he'd always protect others from sharing his same heartbreak.
He fulfilled his promise, first by taking in stray shifters and then
later on becoming a soldier for a feline coalition. So when he finds a
strange Eagle shifter stalking one of his friends, it's only natural
that Ranger becomes protective. Especially when said Eagle is in the
company of two Ravens--the most evil of all shifters. Eagle shifter, Xavier lost
everything dear to him when tragedy struck his family years ago. Taken
in and raised in extreme seclusion by a family of Ravens, he's always
felt as if a piece of himself was missing. When he finds that his twin
is alive and living with feline shifters, Xavier can't resist his
curiosity. Fighting their mutual distrust,
Xavier and Ranger also find themselves becoming drawn to each other. In
a world that's not always so black and white, can they get beyond
prejudices and the taboo, or will their love be lost to hate? Excerpt Emboldened,
Ranger took the last few steps that separated them. Once he got in
close enough, he reached out and flicked the bill of the hat up. Startled
green eyes blinked up at him as the kid’s face was finally revealed.
And there was no question about it—this punk was a kid in almost every
sense of the word. While he appeared to be in his early twenties, his
gaze held an innocent, vulnerable quality to it. Ranger
leaned in, buried his nose in the crook of the kid’s neck and breathed
in deep. What he found made his heart hammer in shock. He even took
another sniff, just to make sure his nose hadn’t been fooling him. “Well, fuck a duck. You’re an Eagle, just like Riley.” For some reason that seemed to piss the kid off. He pulled back with a snarl. “I’m nothing like Riley.” The
familiarity in which that name rolled off the supposed stranger’s lips
sparked Ranger’s curiosity further. He reached up and tore the hat all
the way off, not too surprised when he found blond hair underneath. Studying
the kid’s face, Ranger did a quick inventory. While the eye coloring
may be different, there were other things that were damningly similar
to Riley—the slightly upturned nose, the high cheekbones, full lips,
even the thin bone structure. “You’re more than just an Eagle, you’re Xavier,” Ranger declared with certainty. They’d
only learned recently that Riley’s twin brother Xavier had survived a
tragedy that’d killed off the rest of their family. They’d both been
young at that time and completely defenseless. While Riley had been
taken in and raised by a human female, the whereabouts of Xavier had
remained a mystery. Until now. Xavier
gave a jerky shake of his head. “I don’t know what you’re talking
about. I’m just a nobody who happened to get lost in the woods and
ended up in the wrong place at the wrong time.” “Okay then, tell me what your name is,” Ranger challenged, calling his bluff. Xavier stiffened, his breath hitching slightly. After a moment’s reflection, he answered in a halting voice, “Bob?” “You want to try that again? And this time, I suggest you don’t end it with a question mark.” “What’s wrong with Bob? It’s a perfectly acceptable name.” Ranger
planted his hand on either side of Xavier’s head, trapping the Eagle
in. “I never said there was anything wrong with that name, but we both
know that it’s not what you’re called.” A
moment of silence stretched between them before Xavier slightly tilted
his head to the side in a thoughtful manner. “I don’t think I’ll tell
you my name. After all, you haven’t even bothered to introduce
yourself, so why should I bother with niceties?” “My name is Ranger.” For some reason that brought out a soft laugh from Xavier. “As in Yogi, the Ranger isn’t going to like that?” Xavier asked, doing a dead-on impersonation of Boo-Boo. “You seem awfully cheerful for somebody who’s trapped.” Ranger leaned in until their noses were inches apart and growled. |

Riley's Regret-Available Tomorrow at eXtasy Books!

 Blurb: Hawk shifter Colin has been mentoring
Eagle shifter Riley for several months now. Because Eagle shifters are
so rare, Riley is constantly in danger of being captured and forced
into slavery, so Colin has his hands full with training Riley to be a
halfway decent soldier, protecting the younger man from their enemies,
and trying to fight the growing attraction they have for one another.
Then Colin discovers a bigger threat to Riley, more dangerous than all
the others. Riley can’t run away from this threat, either, since it
comes from within him. Will Colin be able to save Riley from himself,
or will the Eagle be lost to his own internal demons? Excerpt: “How long am I going to have to put up with having one of you by my side all the time?” “For as long as it takes for this spell to pass over,” Noah answered in a soft voice. Riley let out a sigh and damned if it
didn’t hitch a bit. While part of him realized that the concern came
from love, another part of him felt pissed. Why couldn’t they just leave
him alone? Just because he lost his temper a couple of times didn’t
mean he was going to lose his mind again. Riley had everything under
control this time. He was stronger and older, so there was no reason for
them to start acting like a bunch of grandmas. “Fine, but I still say it’s a big waste of energy. I’m doing okay.” “No offense, Riley, but sometimes you’re the worst judge of that.” “Whatever.” Riley gave a faked
indifferent shrug. “Can we just go home? If Papa Hawk notices I’m
missing, he’s going to piss kittens.” A strong hand came from behind and gripped Riley by the nape of the neck. “Too late, he’s already noticed.” Noah paled, while Riley let out yelp.
Even though he couldn’t see the speaker, he instantly recognized the
voice as Colin. Oh gig, the shit is up. Colin pulled Riley in closer so his back
was nearly flush against the Hawk’s strong chest. Under any other
situation, Riley would have been thrilled to find himself in that
position. At that moment, however, fear filled him. Colin wasn’t just
angry, the fury felt nearly palpable as it rolled from him. “Tell me, Eagle, what is the number one rule that you’re supposed to follow?” Colin demanded. “That if you eat out, it’s a good idea to only eat two thirds of your plate, because serving sizes are out of control?” Noah let out a groan while the Colin’s grip tightened to the point of painful. “You want to try that again?” Colin growled, his lips just inches from Riley’s ear. “Always make sure to put the seats back
down when using the cast bathrooms because the female Hawks get
bitch-slap angry if you don’t?” This time Noah hissed a low curse as he
shook his head in disbelief. Not that Riley blamed him. He didn’t know
why he was letting loose with such suicidal, idiotic statements either.
Colin gave him a little shake and Riley let out a squawk that sounded
much like his Eagle half. A burning heat covered his cheeks as
several humans cast amused and curious glances his way. Great, now he’d
committed the most cardinal shifter sin of all, to never, ever, ever
bring attention to their kind. Desperate to make amends, he flashed a
huge smile and waved to the crowd. “Don’t worry, folks. While he is going to take me home and spank me, I like it.” |

 I just realized that I forgot to announce on my blog that I had a
print book released. D-oh! eXtasy took the first three Lost Shifter
stories and put them together into one print book. Thanks to a titling
snafu, it's listed as The Lost Shifters at Amazon, whereas it's call A Shifter Trio at Barnes & Noble.The most exciting thing about this is that I will be signing copies at the Romantic Times Convention this year. Every cent of what I make from my portion of the sales at the event will be donated to the Detroit Area PFLAG
chapter. I just can't say enough about this group. Not only have they
always been there for my own family, but they have helped so many
others. From the minute I walked into my first meeting they made me feel
loved and at ease. I have met people there that I know will be a friend
for life. What's more they host one kick-ass of a holiday party! I've never seen Santa have more fun. |

 I’ve been getting a lot of emails and comments about the “Riley”
scene in Shane’s Fury. Now I won’t get into a ton of details because I know
that not everyone has read it yet. All I will say is—I hope you will trust me. There’s
a very valid reason behind that scene that will become more apparent when Riley
and Colin’s book comes out. The event is the setup for their relationship and
the problems that will arise from Riley’s impulsive decision. I have never
wrote sex for sex’s sake and I promise I’m not going down that path now. I will
always and forever remain true to writing plot over heat. |

 I've been exchanging emails with the EIC of eXtasy Books and
I'm excited to announce some updates and changes to my release schedule. You've
probably noticed the shiny new cover for my next Lost Shifter book and wondered
why I have it so soon. That's because Shane's Fury will be released a month
early! So now it's coming out March 15th. I'll also be spacing the Drone Series
out a bit since that series only has a few more books left in it. To fill the
void I'll be writing books about some of the secondary characters from Blast
From The Past and Out Of Balance. This new series will be call Friends to
Lovers and the first book will be titled Bylines and Snapshots. In the
meantime, I'll be working on the next book from the Archangel Series, but that
book will likely be released at eXtasy's sister site, Divine Destinies. Have no
fear, though, the stories will still be gritty and have the same twisted sense
of humor in them. So here is my current release schedule:March 1st-Between the Pipes-Blue Line Hockey Series March 15th-Shane's Fury-Lost Shifter Series April 1st-Three Alarm Fire-EMS Heat Series April 15th-Bylines and Snapshots-Friends to Lovers Series May 1st-Cup Check-Blue line Hockey Series May 15th-Lost Shifter Book June 1st-EMS Heat Book June 15th-Vengeance Paid in Blood-Drone Vampire Series July 1st-Blue Line Hockey Book July 15th-Lost Shifter Book August 1st-EMS Heat Book August 15th-Friends to Lovers Series P.S. I received an email titled "From a
Reader" and before I could respond
to it, I blew it an lost the message. So if you sent me this email, please
don't think I'm ignoring you. I treasure each and every email, letter and
message I get from my readers. |
