I had the pleasure of being a part of the Lake Village Farmer's Market July 26th.

Even though we had a bit of a monsoon hit right before the market was supposed to start, we persevered and it was fantastic. I met so many wonderful people and sold a few books to boot! Thanks Berta and Sarah for having me.

COVER REVEAL

A newe book from one of my favorite authors? 

YES PLEASE

WHAT I'M READING

The whole Redleg Security series is FABULOUS! Big Al, the head of the security firm has it bad for one of his team member's mom and is patiently waiting for 'someday' when she's ready to realize he's different from the men of her past.

WHAT"S NEXT

I came here seeking sanctuary, I never meant to fall for the broody single dad next door.

I've spent my life hiding in plain sight, burying my past beneath layers of carefully constructed lies. Moving to Sparrow Falls was supposed to be a fresh start. A place to lay low. But when I end up living next door to the single dad who just happens to be one of my brother’s best friends, everything changes.

Trace Colson sees too much, asks too many questions, and his protectiveness is as infuriating as it is alluring.

And when danger comes calling, it’s Trace who stands between me and the darkness.

But being close to him is its own kind of risk. Because with every heated glance and every stolen touch, Trace tempts me to open my heart, to dream of a life I’d long since given up on. The only problem? Trace has his own demons, and when they collide with mine, the fallout could destroy us both.

 UPDATES

Wow! Okay, the month completely got away from me. I have been feverishly working on book two of the Elena Shores series and editing the first book like a crazy woman. This past month I also did a couple of Meet and Greets and book signings.

BOOK SIGNING

NorthStar Georgetown was absolutely FABULOUS! I got to meet so many new friends and got surprised by a few old ones. I am still absolutely beyond grateful for each and every person that reads my stories and I had many who were trying my books for the first time. 

MEET AND GREET

This past weekend I had the opportunity to do a meet and greet at the Le Visage Spa in Norman, Oklahoma. Let me tell you, if you live in that area, I highly recommend the spa. It is absolutely stunning and they have all the spa treatments that you need to renew your spirit.

What I'm Reading

I love this entire series and even though I'm not too far into the story, I'm already loving Linc and Arden and their stories.

UPDATES

WOW! May has been CRAZY! We've weathered a tornado and flooding and we've barely tapped into the usual storm season. But since I haven't been able to get out much to play in the yard, I've been working on my edits of the first book of my new romantic suspense series. It's set at a beachside community and I'm hoping to have it out before the end of summer so you can take it with you to maybe......read it on the beach somewhere. 

I love it when I get an idea for a story and then start to research the elements within it. I always learn something. Then once I have the story completed, the edits come and my editor is amazing so she helps me make my stories the best they can be. And when the cover comes together just right and I know the book is almost ready for publishing, it's just such a rush. And this new series is definitely going to be an escape. 

REVIEWS

I absolutely adored Eden and Kaleb. I had been waiting for Kaleb's story and it did not disappoint. This book had love, romance, and suspense, and a dramatic conclusion to the series that had me on the edge of my seat. -Kelly

SHATTERED MELODY by Heather Andrews

 July 1st

Click to pre-order

A second-chance, enemies-to-lovers, rockstar romance.
Book 3 of the Bold Melodies series.

Warren, the brooding, near-silent force behind Warpath, will do anything to keep his band—and his foster brother Clay—together, even if it means facing down a predatory record label. Raised in the perils of foster care, Warren’s past has forged him into a man who dominates without speaking, haunted by rejection and a decade-old wound inflicted by the one person he can’t forget: Amelia Clarke. Now, he must beg her for help, baring the soft underbelly he’s hidden since the day he walked away from her.

Amelia, the stilettos-and-steel CEO of Clarke Records, rules her empire with a vixen’s charm and a boss’s bite, chasing her father’s elusive approval. But when Warren barges into her office, the rambunctious girl he abandoned resurfaces, her walls cracking under the weight of old sparks and new desire.

She agrees to help Warpath get free from their contract—if War bares his soul for a documentary. As they tangle in a dance of dominance and submission, from boardrooms to shadowy clubs, their past unravels: foster care scars, a broken heart, and a father’s control that tore them apart ten years ago. Passion ignites, but love? That’s forbidden—by contract and by fear. Can two broken melodies harmonize, or will their shattered pasts silence them forever?

COMING SOON

THE DRUMMER by Aly Stiles

 June 12th

Pre-order

Everyone knows about the chair.

The troubled rockstar. The lonely poet. The moment of inexplicable kindness that rewrote destinies.

Even ten years later, Luke and Callie’s story is legendary—a testament to love, loss, and the power of one small act.

I’m not saying it doesn’t deserve the hype.
But when a chair is more famous than you, maybe it’s time to set the record straight.

Because I was there too.
The best friend. The brother. The lover.

What I wasn’t? The star of the story.

Until now.

Hi, I’m Casey Barrett, and this is what really happened the day three damaged souls collided over an ugly diner chair.

THE DRUMMER is a full-length companion novel from Casey Barrett’s POV in Night Shifts Black. While it can be read as a standalone, reading Night Shifts Black first is highly recommended to fully appreciate its depth. Please note, these books explore mental health with compassion and realism.

NEW AUTHOR SPOTLIGHT

I love to shine the spotlight on new authors to help them get their name out there. This month's new author is 

CATHRYN LYONS  

Author of Heartstrings and Arches

Cathryn Lyons loves novels. Seriously loves them. Especially romance. Reading (often devouring) them…and writing spicy contemporary romance novels of her own. She has been writing since before she could even properly hold a pen.

She is happily married to her real-life MMC and they share three sons and the world’s best and derpiest rescue Golden Retriever (from Turkey!). She is a lifelong Marylander, but wonders if her short stint in London counts as being cosmopolitan (the attribute, not the drink; although those are quite delicious).

Cathryn fills her creative bucket by writing steamy stories she hopes bring as much joy, laughter, escapism…and sexy feelings…that she herself has experienced through the gift of others’ words. She hopes you love her stories, and welcomes hearing from you.
