Halloween Hop and New Release

Posted on by

I have a surprise for you. Highland Ghost which was part of an anthology last year now has its very own cover and has released on its own. The ebook is only 99c, so pick up a copy now. (Also available in print.)
When Caitlin MacKenzie is betrothed to Ian MacBain, she’s never told she will not only be gaining a husband, but two ghosts and a family curse as well! You will see some of the characters from my Highland Outcasts Series returning.

I’m taking part in a 30 author Halloween Hop where you can discover great free and discounted books as well as have a chance to win a $150 gift card. You’ll need to collect the names of each author’s favorite Halloween candy to enter. You’ll find mine as well as links to all the authors at the end of this post so keep scrolling.

First, I have special Halloween deals for you. Haunted Hearts, Book 6 of my Holiday Knights Series is on kindle countdown for the next week for only 99c. This book encompasses the origins of Halloween as well as a rekindling of a lost love. Pick up a copy today.

Next, my book Familiar is also only 99c for the next week. A warlock in denial needs to hone his skills to save the woman he loves. (Also available to read in kindle unlimited.)

I have a new Halloween novella called Once Upon a Haunted Horn and Hoof. It is part of a multi-author collection called Once Upon a Haunted Romance, just for Halloween. I hope you like ghosts, because each book includes one. This is the haunting of the Horn and Hoof Tavern run by that crazy old Callum MacKeefe. 99c for the set. It releases tomorrow, but you can preorder today.

And did you know that my book, Beast Lord from my Tangled Tales is FREE? This is a twisted, tangled, romantic retelling of Beauty and the Beast.

And one last reminder. My NEW release called Dancing on Air is about a noblewoman and a hangman and a perfect Halloween read! Be sure to read the entire Below the Salt Series, where nobles fall in love with those below their status, or Below the Salt.

All right, on to the Halloween Hop. My favorite candy for the season is Take 5. I’ve put links to each of the authors’ sites who are participating in the hop. After you collect the names of all the candies, you’ll need to go to Heather McCullom’s site to enter them. Good luck!

Happy Halloween!

Easter Hop – Win a $150 Gift Card

Posted on by

It’s that time of year again for the annual Historical Romance Authors’ Easter Egg Hunt! 30 of your favorite authors have joined together in an Easter Hop where you can win a $150 gift card. (Scroll to the bottom of this post to find out how to enter and to see my personal Easter egg.)

Let’s fill up your Easter basket with some goodies, shall we? First off, I have a fun, FREE book for you that takes place at Easter. It is Lion and the Lamb from my Holiday Knights Series. Find out the traditions of Easter back in the medieval times. Did you know no marriages or even sex was allowed during the 40 days of Lent? Neither was eating meat or dairy. Find out a lot more of the ancient traditions as you read about Sir Lionel and Lady Rachel and the trials they’ll go through in Lion and the Lamb. (Be sure to pick up the audiobook for a special treat.)

CONTEST: I am giving away multiple audiobooks through Spotify for Lady and the Wolf (Red Riding Hood), book 1 of my fairy tale romance series, Tangled Tales. The contest runs all month. Go to my Author Facebook Page to enter. And did you know that the entire Tangled Tales Series is now on ALL venues, including Barnes and Noble, Google Play, Kobo, and lots more? The series is available in ebook, paperback and audiobook forms. Here is the link to amazon if you’d like to read excerpts of the books or find out more about the series.

And now, I have a great Easter egg recipe for you. It comes from John Taylor, one of the 12 brothers from my Bad Boys of Sweetwater Series. (Loving John) To find out how John makes these yummy deviled eggs, and who likes to eat them the most, read the recipe on my website.

Ok, so here is the beautiful Easter egg I chose this year for the Easter Hop. Be sure to visit the EVENT PAGE to get your chart to match the eggs to the authors and to see the links for all the authors in the hop.

Here is a list of the authors in the hop and where to find their eggs. Happy Hopping!

Hi everyone! First the exciting news. I have two books nominated for the RONE awards this year – Tristan and Highland Steel. But being nominated doesn’t mean I’m in the finals yet.

You’ll need to SIGN IN to the Ind’tale page first before they’ll let you vote. If you don’t already have an account you can make one for free. Then on the top right, click on RONEs 2021, and click on Historical to vote for my book Tristan. Thanks in advance! 

Next, today is the LAST day to get Doubting Thomas for FREE! This is Book 1 of my Bad Boys of Sweetwater: Tarnished Saints Series. Murder, Mayhem and Romance set the scene. 

This is a 12 book series, and I am also offering books 2-4 on kindle countdown thru the 18th for 99c each. The books are Luring Levi, Judging Judas and Seducing Zeb. Click on the photo to get them or learn more. Kindle Unlimited.

The prequel to the series, Tarnished Saints Christmas is always free. It is the backstory of the 12 Taylor brothers as children, and shows you how they earned the title of bad boys, and Tarnished Saints.

A Gift of Thanks!

With Thanksgiving arriving in the US, it makes me think of everything I am truly thankful for. My loved ones, our health, a roof over my head and food on the table. Not to mention friends, and fans like all of you!

To show how thankful I am to have each and every one of you in my life, I have decided to do a few special things. I’ve put together my ENTIRE Greek Myth Series into one boxed set and priced it at only 99c thru Black Friday for a fun, affordable read. (KU reads free.)

I’ve also decided to release the print book of Mardon early for those of you who like a physical book to hold. This way you can order it and get it well before Christmas. Remember, the ebook of Mardon will release on Dec. 3rd, and there is still time to preorder it at the special price of only $2.99.

Aaron is the last book in my Pirate Lord Series and will release sometime in Feb. or March of next year. For now, here is a sneak peek at the cover.

Do you like audiobooks, or would you like to try one for free if you’ve never had the chance to do so? As another thank you, I’ve decided to give away the ENTIRE Holiday Knights Series is audio to several winners. Just enter through the rafflecopter below.

Stay safe and healthy, and remember to be thankful for those people and things in your life that are sometimes taken for granted.

NEW Series Preorder

Posted on by

I’m so excited to tell you that my new Pirate Lords Series is in the making. Tristan, Book 1 is now on preorder for only $2.99. The book will release on September 3rd.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Tristan, along with his brothers, Mardon and Aaron, have returned to piracy. But their sister, Gwen (from Pirate in the Mist) is determined to hunt them down and bring them home. In the meantime, Gavina, my heroine, is in the middle of a tough situation. With a treasure map inked on to her back and disguised as a boy, she ends up on their ship.

I’m going to let you in on a little secret now and this is something I LOVE in this series. Remember Nairnie, the old woman from the Seasons of Fortitude Series? Well, she is the grandmother of these three pirates and she is going to end up on their ship too!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

This book is so much fun! Preorder your copy of Tristan today.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

And since Tristan is first mentioned in Pirate of the Mist, I’m giving away a few audiobooks of that as well. Just use the rafflecopter below to enter.

 

Next Wednesday is National Hammock Day. (Did you even know there was such a thing?) Well, since I sit in my hammock in my secret garden to write, and Tristan has a hammock he sleeps in on the ship, I’m going to have a few fun surprises for you then.
