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.
