Here's the Blurb:


There’s more than a prophecy holding them together …
Famous rock star, Xochitl Leonine, has dreamed of a world with two moons where a black cloaked man beckons her. One Halloween night, she meets the mysterious stranger of her dreams… literally... and their shared dance becomes a rendezvous in a place of endless night.

Zareth Amotken has no idea how important Xochitl’s heavy metal band is to her. As an immortal sorcerer, he doesn’t care. He has one goal: to find the prophesied savior of his world. Her voice holds the power to bring back his world’s vanished sun.

Xochitl’s compassion urges her to help in any way she can. Yet learning the mysteries of her past causes conflict with her future in music. Her destiny in his world and her obligations to her band pull her in opposite directions. How can she long for one while the other is so dire?

As Zareth introduces her to his people and teaches her to control her powers, she aches for his enchanting kiss. Zareth tries to resist, for their passion will unleash serious consequences, both political and magical.

As the time to fulfill her destiny draws closer, she must choose between her heart, her duty, and her friends. The wrong choice could ruin everything.

Spring Fever!

Greetings, everyone!

Things are hella-busy at Casa de Brooklyn. I'm making swift headway on UNLEASHING DESIRE (Brides of Prophecy, Book 4)... which means it could release sooner than expected.

Preparations for the release of HIS RUTHLESS BITE (Scandals With Bite, Book 4) are also well on the way and I am pleasantly surprised at how many of you are anticipating this book. I hope I do not let you down.

 You can Pre order it on Apple

                    Amazon 

                    Kobo

                    Google Play
                    
                    All Romance

                    Nook

I will have my tour schedule lined up by the end of the month.

Another fun thing I've been doing is making teasers for my existing books and upcoming releases. Here's one I made for His Ruthless Bite.

The rest are reserved for my newsletter peeps.

But more will be on the way.

Aside from reading and working on client manuscripts, my primary goal is seeking reviews. I am trying to get all of my books to a minimum of that magic #50. There will be a rant forthcoming on the struggles authors face with this these days.

As for non-book stuff, I'm excited that Spring is around the corner. Other people have the groundhogs, but up in North Idaho, we have these guys:



I'm anticipating 3 things: Fishing, working on cars, and hunting for Morel mushrooms.

I haven't been able to go fishing more than once or twice in the past 3 years and I'm really going through withdrawals. I'm jonesing for some rainbow trout... and I also want to catch one of these guys:


They look nice enough... until you see their teeth.

And this is why I want to make a B-movie about Pike.

However, my poor Toyota is falling apart, so I also must return to my mission of restoring my Datsun... which will cut into my fishing time. She's almost completely dismantled, so I'm not posting pics, sorry.

And then of course there will be Morel hunting. I usually don't go for mushrooms, but these ones taste like steak. Mmmmmmm.






What are your plans for the spring?

My son and I went to Red Lobster to celebrate.



I completed my 1st novel in 2009, so that's 10 books in 7 years. And let me tell you, it doesn't get any easier.

His Ruthless Bite will release on April 15th, and I'll be posting my virtual tour itinerary soon.



I've also received some news on my next two Hearts of Metal novels, but I can't share it just yet.

In other news, it looks like I may be attending the RWA National Conference this July.


Next projects on the list are to start Brides of Prophecy Book 4, titled: UNLEASHING DESIRE.

Speaking of Brides of Prophecy: Reading Deals has a deal where you can snag a free copy of Book 2 in exchange for an honest review.

Book 1 is already free, whether you choose to review it or not.

Other plans on the table include: Learning how to use a sewing machine, finishing my car restoration project, catching some rainbow trout, and starting another quilt.


Oh, and the big news: I'm going to the RWA National Conference in San Diego in July!!!

Needless to say, I'm insanely busy!

February update.



Hey, all! Sorry for the long absence. I've been busy as hell finishing up this book and editing client manuscripts, so I've had zero time to check in with you all.

I hope to get this dang book done by the 12th at the latest since I have my beta readers and proofreaders lined up.

Other exciting events on the way is that I'll be participating in the Spokane Valley Barnes & Noble with multiple authors, including Asa Maria Bradley, Kerry Schafer, Sarah Brady, Kris Dinnison, S.M. Hulse, Cindy Hval, Stephanie Oakes, Sharma Shields, Rachel Toor, Augustina Van Hoven, Mary J. Williams, Danielle Annett, and Maya Jewell Zaelle.

This is a big step for me since I'm usually a depressed zombie during Februarys ever since my mom passed away on Valentine's Day seven years ago.

I have gotten better in the past two years, doing my best to turn Valentine's Day into a happy day. I've made it a tradition to watch Mom's favorite movies. And I've also doubled my efforts to hold my grief at bay with hard work on my books. In fact, back in 2014, I released my first indie novel, WRENCHING FATE, which you can pick up for free everywhere ebooks are sold.

A little romance has even been added to the day. My boyfriend has taken to giving me a rose and we have a nice dinner before we watch movies.

Since Valentine's Day is on a Sunday this year, I'm going to do the romance and movies thing with him the day before. I'm going to cook him a pot roast. Here's my recipe:

And Sunday will be the signing. It was on my 2016 goals to do at least one, so this is a perfect opportunity. It'll also be nice to visit with my fellow authors and interract with readers.

The day after, I'm taking a mental health day.

So despite being overwhelmed and stressed, I'm doing my best to keep this February sane and productive.

I'll keep you all posted on how it goes!

Have a great month, everyone!

Scandals With Bite Book 4 release date! And pre order is LIVE!




Ladies and gentlemen, we HAVE a release date. His Ruthless Bite, (Scandal with Bite Book 4), will be released on April 15th!

Here's the rough blurb:

"The Lord Vampire of Rochester doesn’t do a favor without a price. And now it’s time to collect. 

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."
