FREE E-BOOK FOR TWO DAYS ONLY!


Back to Bite You, the prequel to my Bayou Gavotte series, is free on Amazon on January 7th and 8th. It's a novella with a touch of mystery, a bit of New Orleans history, a lot of crazy fun, and a bite of paranormal lite.

 
IS THIS LOVE -- OR MURDER?

When vampire Mirabel Lane goes to Bayou Gavotte to hide out from the mobster she just dumped, the last thing she expects is to inherit a house. No, make that the second to last thing. What she really doesn’t expect is to fall for the previous owner’s gorgeous grandson.

When Gerry Kingsley goes to Bayou Gavotte to check out probable gold-digger and possible murderer Mirabel Lane, the last thing he expects is to fall in love with the irresistible twenty-something vampire.

No, what he really doesn’t expect is to unearth―once and for all―his family’s dark, convoluted past.

Go ahead, get yourself a copy while it's FREE!

My post at Teatime Tattler, a #giveaway, and coming soon: TRR's summer party

Today I'm the guest of the Bluestocking Belles at their Teatime Tattler. They ask for a piece of original writing, so I had fun doing this one!! It's related to Lady of the Flames, but the character who's speaking is Dunstan Tull, the compiler of an encyclopedia of not-so-mythical beings. Some of his definitions are found at the beginning of my Bayou Gavotte books, which take place 200 years later. I wonder if Dunstan is a time traveler... I'm pretty sure he has visited the house below.

The Old Hall, John Anster Fitzgerald, 1875

Thinking ahead: I will be participating in The Romance Reviews' June party, Sizzling Summer Reads. Lots of prizes!

KINK OR NOT? AND A 3-DAY #GIVEAWAY

Just a quick post -- Back to Bite You is free on Amazon for three days - today, tomorrow, and Wednesday.

http://www.amazon.com/Back-Bite-You-Novella-Gavotte-ebook/dp/B00K0LC2GY/

Also, since Back to Bite You has not only mystery and romance but a food fight club as well, that's what I'm blogging about this week -- to kink or not to kink. Today, I'm at Embracing Romance with a recipe for Banana Cream Pie (a specialty of the club!). Tomorrow I'll be at the Pink Fuzzies, and Wednesday I'm at Sharon Buchbinder's blog. I'd love to hear your opinion of kink in romance novels. Fun and sexy or not? An improvement or a bore? This inquiring mind wants to know.

Home and Another Bayou Gavotte Giveaway



Got back home from Europe last night -- just in time for a guest post at Collette Cameron's blog, including an international giveaway of one of the Bayou Gavotte books (winner's choice). Hop on over if you'd like a chance to win. I'm celebrating the release of Heart of Constantine and will be for the rest of the week. There will be an interview with Constantine Dufray's spirit guide on Thursday at Suzanne Johnson's Preternatura, and a post on my Native American hero on Lois Winston's blog on Friday.  (Also, there are a few hours left to enter the giveaway at GraveTells.)

I adore the owl on the cover of Heart of Constantine. He's both beautiful and menacing -- just like Constantine, although the owl is a character in his own right.


I'm no photographer -- most of the time I forget to take pictures -- but there are some of Roman artifacts in my dh's camera which I will try to post here soon. Why Roman artifacts? Because they play a part in my next two novellas, which come out in November (Under a Christmas Spell) and January (Under a New Year's Enchantment). They're mostly in the second story, where the hero has dug up a hoard of Roman coins. I will get the covers and blurbs up soon!

I wish I'd had time to visit some Roman ruins while in Britain -- maybe next time! I would love to write a romantic story about Roman Britain one day... After I write one that takes place right after the Norman Conquest... Right after finishing the Regency fantasy I'm working on now... and the Bayou Gavotte novella I'm revising.. and...and...and.... So many stories, so little time. :)

Heart of Constantine

HEART OF CONSTANTINE, the long-awaited third book in the Bayou Gavotte series, will be out September 10th!

Tentative Cover (which I love -- isn't the owl awesome??):



Tentative Blurb:



Vigilante Native American rock star Constantine Dufray has hit rock bottom. His telepathic abilities have spun out of control, and destructive rumors about him run rampant. Some are true—he caused a violent cop’s suicide, and telepathy destroyed his marriage—but he didn’t poison his wife, and he couldn’t have caused riots at his concerts, killing his fans…or could he? Now an unknown enemy is trying to frame him for rape and murder. 

Aura reader Marguerite McHugh finally gets a close encounter with the mysterious star, but it’s nothing like she expected. When Constantine finds her after she’s been drugged at one of his shows, she’s pulled into his quest for the truth. As dangers mount and murders pile up, Constantine and Marguerite are forced into an ever more intimate relationship. Only by facing their fears and working together can they unmask the killer before more innocent people die. 

Heart of Constantine is available for pre-order here.
