Scandals With Bite Book 4 release date! And pre order is LIVE!
Gavin Drake, Baron of Darkwood is being pestered by nosy neighbors and matchmaking mothers of the mortal nobility. To escape their scrutiny, he concludes that it’s time to take a wife. After witnessing the young vampire Lenore’s loyalty to the Lord of London, he decides she is sufficient for the role.
After surviving abuse from rogue vampires, Lenore Graves wants to help other women recover from their inner wounds. She befriends mesmerist John Elliotson and uses her vampire powers to aid him with his patients. When the Lord of London declares that Lenore is the price the Lord of Rochester demands for aiding him in battle, she is terrified. Will all of her hard work be destroyed by Ruthless Rochester? Yet she can’t suppress stirrings of desire at the memory of their potent encounter.
After Gavin assures her that the marriage will be in name only, Lenore reluctantly accepts Gavin’s proposal. Determined to continue her work, she invites John Elliotson to Rochester. As they help women recover from traumas, Lenore explores her own inner turmoil and examines her attraction to her husband.
Gavin realizes his marriage is a mistake. His new baroness’s involvement with the mesmerist is dangerous. He knows he should put a stop to Lenore’s antics— yet her tender heart is warming his own and tempting him to make her his bride in truth.
As Lenore and Gavin’s relationship blossoms, the leader of a gang of rogue vampires embarks on a quest for vengeance against Gavin… using Lenore as his key."

My 2015 Recap
Holy Wow, 2015 was an incredible, busy year for me.
January
I attended my local RWA meeting where my wonderful author friend, Bonnie R. Paulson gave a talk on setting goals. This directly helped me recovered from the horrible bout of Writer's Block that I had for most of 2014. I cannot thank her enough. So yeah, I spent January WRITING!!
February
I had a ton of Dental work done which made me too doped up on pain meds to write as much, so I devoted a lot of time doing cover art.
I also officially hung my shingle for my editing business, Grammar Smith Editing Services. I'd been paid for editing work since 2013, but I didn't have a website or anything.
March
I attended my RWA chapter's first conference, Power of the Pen.
I pitched my heavy metal romance novel and ended up getting an agent AND a 3 book deal with Boroughs Publishing.
I was on cloud 9
April
I attended The Novel Experience convention in Las Vegas. My boyfriend drove us there and man, we had such an insane time that it took Three Blog Posts to recap it. It was the first convention I attended as an official author and it blew my mind when readers directly sought me out for my autograph. Incredible!
Then Bite At First Sight (Scandals with Bite Book 3) released and I had one of the best signings ever!
 |
| I don't care if the pic is blurry. I love being in pictures with that hot guy. |
May
I did a ton of writing and work on a book cover for a short story.
June
I did a lot more writing, some work on my Datsun, and released a short Brides of Prophecy Prequel, Tesemini, which I'm going to put back up for free next week.
July
I finished the cover for Conjuring Destiny and finished writing Hearts of Metal book 2. The whole Northwest was on fire, which totally ruined summer.
August
The Northwest was STILL on fire.
But I managed to finish the rough draft of Conjuring Destiny
And my heavy metal romance, Kissing Vicious released!
September
That month was revision hell for Conjuring Destiny and Hearts of Metal 2. I also started Hearts of Metal 3 (Sort of.) That one was already written but I had to completely rewrite the middle. I also came up with the insane idea to make a quilt for my boyfriend for Christmas.
I also finally gave in and started a Newsletter!
October
Not a great start as my beloved laptop died. Luckily since it was 6 years old I was prepared and had money saved for it. However, I'd lost a ton of important files, including the master photoshop file of the cover for Conjuring Destiny.
However I had other image files and was able to piece together the cover and I had my most successful release ever!
 |
| It was also my most complex cover ever. |
 |
| I'm going to write a post about the entire process soon. |
And I finished Hearts of Metal Book 3
November
I was in Editing Hell with a ton of client manuscripts. But damn I needed the money.
I also progressed further on the quilt and got all of my squares painted.
And I also did a scratch board of a wolf for my aunt:
December
Thanks to getting my shopping done early I didn't have as much holiday stress as usual. I did a dragon for my son and my grandma and I finished the quilt.
My boyfriend LOVE the quilt:
And it fit on his bed!
I also got over 1/3rd of the way done Scandals with Bite Book 4 and got started on the cover.
So for 2015 I had three books release and one short story. I wrote three and 1/3rd novels... and made a quilt.
And guess what? 2016 is going to be even busier. Stay tuned for my goals and plans!
