Promoting my new release with a few press kit pictures!

New book release coming soon!

Long time no post!  I've been busy with my job, but I'm pleased to announce my new novel, Jewel of the Naga, will be available on May 15 from Rogue Phoenix Press!

As a teaser, here's a rough draft of the cover (pardon the watermark):

It's the story of Fredric, a reluctant incubus, and his struggle to save the woman he loves from the greatest danger of all: himself.

I loved writing this book so much, and I know you'll love reading it.  It'll be on sale for only 99 cents for the first month of its release... you can't ask for better than that.  :-D

My second professional romance novel, a paranormal contemporary called Jewel of the Naga, has been accepted for publication!  I haven't received final notification of a date, but based on past experience it should come out in summer 2016.

This is a bit of an ambivalent moment; on one hand, I'm very gratified and proud.  On the other… lots of work is associated with this: editing, re-editing, promotion.  I'm still promoting Her Heart's Liege, too!

Sometimes the time and emotions associated with promotion and other publication responsibilities make it challenging to compose new material.  However, I'm 16,000 words into a sequel to Jewel, so that's good progress in spite of the other commitments.  :-)

And there's always the tentatively-titled Path to Scotland, a second historical romance which is sitting at about 120,000 words and is not yet finished because I can't seem to decide if it should be two books or if it should expand into three….

I only wish I'd begun publishing professionally a decade or more ago.  :)  Better late than never, I guess!

Starting anew: one of the most intimidating and yet exciting moments in a writer's life.  The first real step on the journey to a new novel, writing down the first words…. the character concepts have been postulated, the core of the plot conceived.  I'm about to embark on the sequel to Jewel of the Naga, which I just sent to my publisher.

Now to cross my fingers and trust that the magic will happen!
