UPDATE

COVER REVEAL

only here

TEACH ME TO LOVE is on the horizon and I can't be more excited. The uber growly Logan finally will have a chance to explain why he's always so prickly, and Rylan will have her chance to shed some light on why she has sworn off all men.

We don't have a release date yet, but sit tight. It's coming.

I'm also in the final stages of writing book four so, my fingers are tired. I'm hoping for a spring release with that one and it's going to be EPIC. And when I say EPIC I mean this thing is THICK! I'm bordering on fantasy size. 

Isn't this cover pretty? GAH! It's PERFECT

WHISPERS BENEATH THE LIVE OAKS

by Monica Craig

GRAB IT

Some secrets are buried. Others are waiting to be heard.

When Clara Monroe inherits her grandmother’s secluded ranch in the Texas Hill Country, she expects to confront grief, fading memories, and the difficult decision of whether to keep the land she once called home. Instead, she discovers an old journal filled with cryptic warnings, a hidden letter from 1957, and whispers drifting through the live oaks—whispers that seem to know her name.

Across the pasture, Cole Travis has returned to his family’s neglected ranch carrying unanswered questions of his own. His father’s final message points to the same place Clara’s grandmother feared: the Hollow Oak, an ancient tree standing above a secret that has bound the Monroe, Travis, and Delaney families for generations.

As Clara and Cole follow a trail of letters, maps, and buried evidence, they uncover the story of Sarah Delaney—a young woman whose forbidden love ended in betrayal and bloodshed. But the closer they come to the truth, the more violently the land responds. Storms gather beneath clear skies, forgotten voices rise from the river, and someone determined to protect the past begins watching their every move.

Drawn together by a connection neither expected, Clara and Cole must decide how much they are willing to risk to break a cycle of silence. Because beneath the live oaks, the dead have never stopped whispering—and the truth refuses to remain buried.

HOCKEY ROMANCE

Sebastian Grant wants to be left alone.

With concussion number six fogging up his brain, Seb's GM threatens to fire him, if he
doesn't take a leave of absence. The leave isn't a threat. It's a way out of the league that has
drained him for years. With diva players and outrageous hockey deals, Seb has lost his
hunger for a game guilt won’t let him live without.

High school counselor Garcia Bear lives to protect her students from the heartbreaking

program, Garcia comes face to face with pro hockey coach, Seb Grant. Sebastian is
everything Garcia’s fragile heart fears, yet his perceptive eyes dismantle her armor. But
Garcia knows how men like him operate. As the grumpy coach forces his way into her
life, she must decide if opening her heart is worth the risk of hoping he has one.

WHAT AM I READING

WE ALL FALL DOWN

by Erin Fitzgerald

Grab it

I have read a couple of Colson Creek books already and I decided it was time to start at the beginning and get caught up with all the characters. We All Fall Down has so far totally captured my heart.

I'm not invited to the family meeting that decides my fate, and when it's announced that Dad's retiring and I'll be taking over the farm, I know exactly what this is: A rescue mission. My brothers are tired of dragging me out of the bottom of a bottle, where I can predictably be found drowning my sorrows.

When Beckett's brought in to manage the transition, you might say it doesn't go smoothly. I can't stand that my family's hired a business consultant to babysit me. I know they fear I'll run the farm into the ground, and maybe I take my anger out on her... but I'm surprised when she gives it right back, and soon I'm looking forward to our arguments more than I should.

We were set up to be enemies from the start, and I tell myself I can't wait for her to finish out her contract and go back to Texas. But Beckett has secrets, some that followed her all the way to Minnesota, and I discover my life wasn't at all what I thought.

We All Fall Down is a midlife, enemies to lovers tale of heartbreak, disappointment, loss, and overcoming addiction. This story has a strong mental health rep, plenty of banter and a tight-knit family who put one another first.

 

UPDATES

When it rains, it pours. I was glad when July finally waved bye but August said hold my beer. Of course. How many things can go wrong on a house in one month? Well, they say they come in threes and that holds true for us. We've replaced a roof, a refrigerator and our heating and A/C. Yeah.

BUT

I am excited. Book 3 of Elena Shores is at the editor. EEEEK! Promos are coming. I can't wait for you to see the cover. It's AWESOME. And...I have some amazing swag coming too.

On top of that, I am nearly done on rough re-writes for book 4. So, hopefully by spring, I will have 4 books in the Elena Shores series.

BOOK ME ROMANCE was a huge success. I absolutely love the event and I've already signed up for next year.

SPOTLIGHT

Late Harvest by Cathryn Lyons

Grab it

The role of a lifetime doesn’t always take place on the silver screen

Arabella “Remy” Remington

I’m a surgeon. I like things tidy—rules, routines, predictability, perfection. And I guard my heart as fiercely as the women and children I’m dedicated to helping.

Until he enters the picture.

Sebastian Wheatley is a walking red flag. A charming, sexy as sin, Hollywood-mega-star red flag. He’s smooth and unpredictable—something decidedly unsafe in the world I’ve intentionally created for myself. But one look at him has my blood heating, and I’m not sure if it’s from annoyance…or desire.

The charming devil slides into my life, looking to make a deal. A temporary marriage of convenience to help him land the role of a lifetime. In exchange, I get the funds necessary to secure the stability of a cause deeply important to me.

My common sense says “run.” But despite the risk to my carefully tidy life and the fortress it provides for my painful secrets and battered heart, something about him has me accepting the proposal. And hoping I haven’t just derailed everything I’ve ever worked for.

Late Harvest brings heart, heat, and humor in book one of the Red Wine Supper Club, a later-in-life romance series.

WHAT AM I READING

The London King by KoKo Heart

It is FABULOUS

Pre-Order it

Max King

I’m a King by name and a King by nature. As one of the heirs to The London Royals empire, I knew I’d end up as a mafia boss. And I was ready for it. The only problem came in the form of my best friend's sister, the mafia princess, and my future bride. Promised to me by the generation before us, we were supposed to rule London together. With the heirs of the other houses by our sides, we’d have been unstoppable. But she broke that promise. She betrayed everything we stood for. She went rogue. But now she’s back and needs a King to protect her. My name may be her saviour, but will she be my undoing?

Luna Lord

I was born to be a mafia princess, promised to him before I had a choice. He believes I chose the enemy over him. He’s wrong. I never betrayed him. Instead, I risked my safety to prove my loyalty, and now I need protection that only his name can give me. He’s blinded by pride, too stubborn to see he’s always been my future. So I’ll just have to convince him. I’ve never backed down from a challenge, especially one involving Max King. If I can prove my loyalty to him, I can unite the four heirs to The London Royals once again. But will my ‘betrayal’ be too much for him to handle?

 

 

                      UPDATE                          

Yep. This newsletter is late. And it will be very short. The truth is, July was both a fabulous surprise and a very painful reminder how precious life truly is. 

The audio book released July 1st and did very well after a minor hiccup. I have had nothing but massive praise for Olivia and Devin's narration. And both Lost Within Me and Awaken Me had great sales for the month. 

But on the 4th of July my world was turned upside down. I got a notification on my phone that my son-in-law was in a car accident. I called him, my daughter and my grandson and I didn't get an answer. As a mom, this is your worst nightmare. I froze. My hubby took my phone and tried to call. Still nothing. We got the coordinates from the notification and looked them up and called the Maine highway patrol and they said they'd call us back when they had information. It felt like forever for that call to come. I wasn't sure I wanted it to either. I've never prayed so hard. Finally, our daughter called. All she said was they were all okay and everyone was helping them and then she had to hang up. We had no idea if they were injured or not.

Then the highway patrol called. He told us that they had been in a one vehicle rollover crash and were very lucky. 

As more information came in, it became very apparent just how lucky they were. All three were transported to the hospital, all with injuries that thankfully they will recover from but it will take time.

My hubby has seen photos of the car. I haven't gotten the courage up to look yet. It's so easy to take our lives for granted. To get into that mindset that things will remain the same and we forget how quickly our lives can change. 

COMING UP

I will be a signing author aot BOOK ME ROMANCE

in Fort Smith Arkansas August 15th at the Fort Smith Convention Center.

UPDATE

So many things going on. Okay- so we had a little hiccup with the audio book but I am crossing my fingers that by the time you get this it will be sitting pretty in my Amazon account. I am so EXCITED for you to hear it. If you haven't seen the SPOTLIGHT I did talking about my narrators and team, let me just brag for a little bit.

My son Drew was the organizer, getting the LOST WITHIN ME audio book going. His company The Direct Line LLC are the driving force for the project. 

Olivia Applegate is the female narrator for the project and she is AWESOME! She is well known in the acting community for her role as Beth in the Black Dagger Brotherhood series on Passionflix.

Devin Bonnée is the male narrator for the project and he had the task of figuring out how to do several foreign accents and he did a FANTASTIC job. He is also an actor that hails out of Austin. He's had several roles including the role of Barker in the mini series Lawman Bass Reeves.

In other news, I will be doing an interview with my audio team for LOVE ON DEMAND. I'm going to be honest, I'm a bit nervous but it should be lots of fun. If you haven't heard of Love On Demand, be sure to check them out on all the social media platforms.

Heads up! I'll be a signing author again this year at BOOK ME ROMANCE

WHAT AM I READING

SOMETHING WILD by Erin Fitzgerald

If you didn't read my review- I basically said this needs to be on the BESTSELLER LIST! 

So get out there and make it so!

Grab it

My life detonated with a single text from my brother, exposing a side of my life I didn’t know existed.

One photo, sent to the entire family—painting me as the villain, then daring me to beg for the details he’ll never give.

Perfect timing. I was already walking away from the family real estate machine—done drafting contracts that trap people, ready for something real, honorable and good.

The text rolled in as I was on my way to buy a ranch in Montana, my escape hatch. My Plan B.

After closing I discover the land is crawling with problems. There are environmental violations, hidden damage, and someone is furious I got it cheap. Nicola from the DNR is determined to shut my business down and the deeper I dig, the clearer it gets: This isn’t bad luck. It’s sabotage.

With Nicola’s grudging help, I start pulling at threads someone would kill to keep hidden. Is she trying to help me, or keeping me close in order to do me in?

And the truth my brother dropped into my life? It’s not staying buried and changes everything.

Everything I’ve built–even what I didn’t know was mine–is in the crosshairs.

I walked away to start over.

Now I’m fighting to protect everything I’ve come to love, knowing I might lose it all.

* This work is 100% human written/produced. *

 UPDATES

In less than a month I will have my first audiobook and I CAN'T WAIT for you to hear it.

Lost Within Me is getting an upgrade and, can I be honest? I would love for all of Elena shores to be available on audio.  We shall see.

The audiobook was a gift from my son Drew for my birthday. He is a filmmaker in Austin and he talked to a couple of his friends in the movie industry, and they agreed to help him give me a HUGE birthday surprise.

Who are these amazing people who will be bringing Lost Within Me to life you might ask?

Olivia Applegate- 

Best known for her portrayal of 'BETH' in the Passionflix series The Black Dagger Brotherhood

Check out Olivia's Work

And Devin Bonnee-

who has been in shows like Lawman Bass Reeves and The Chosen.

This truly has been a labor of love and I can't believe it's almost here.

LOST BEFORE YOU by M Leigh Morhaime

out June 18th

Pre-order

I didn’t realize just how much of myself I’d lost until I met you. Ivy never expected to be starting over in her mid-thirties. Especially not fresh out of a bitter divorce that left her with nothing but a shabby one-bedroom apartment and a mountain of trauma she wasn’t ready to face. Still, she refused to let anything stand in her way of rebuilding her life. Until she meets her 20-something downstairs neighbor, who has her questioning how soon is too soon to believe in love again. Kota had given up on love a long time ago. He grew content with his single life as a drummer and back-up vocalist for Burned Bridges. Until his eyes met Ivy’s. With one look, he needed to know everything about her. The shadows in those deep blue pools had him wanting more. With Ivy as his muse, Kota might be ready to finally take a chance. Their connection—undeniable. Their chemistry—explosive. Yet, Ivy can’t stop holding back. She just can’t shake her past—or the feeling that it could all go wrong again. And she is not sure she can handle another heartbreak so soon. Will they find the courage to finally face their demons and see where their hearts can take them together?

WHAT AM I READING

Never The Same 

by Brittney Sahin

Out July 7th

Pre-order

A brooding hero collides with the one woman who upends his control in this hate-to-love military romance by Wall Street Journal bestselling author Brittney Sahin.

Hollis Avery has always been untouchable. A woman who’s never needed saving—born into wealth, power, and a family history steeped in secrets.

Until she wakes up with no memory of who she is.

The only thing that feels familiar is Jason Reed, the Delta Force operator who insists they were never friends and nothing more than teammates. Guarded and closed off, Reed keeps his distance, even as Hollis can’t ignore the pull she feels toward him, or the way his gaze lingers like he’s already lost her once and refuses to survive it again.

While they work to uncover who took her memories and why, Hollis begins to change. Stripped of the armor that once defined her, she becomes open, trusting, and dangerously honest. And Reed finds himself falling for the woman behind the legend—the one he was never meant to touch but can’t stop wanting.

As pieces of Hollis’s past come to light, so do the truths Reed has kept buried—and the fear that what they’re building belongs only to the woman she is now.

Restoring her memories is the key to protecting the legacy she was born to defend. But with time running out and danger closing in, Hollis and Reed must choose what’s worth saving: her past…or the future neither of them was ever supposed to want.
