A Post About The Book(s)

This is just a quick post to keep you updated on the ebb and flow of my book life.

First of all, I  have to mention that my romantic suspense novel, HOLD ME, is STILL available for sale at Carina Press,  Amazon, Barnes and Noble or pretty much anywhere you can buy e-books. It’s also available as an audio book from Audible. Just in case you were wondering.  No…no reason…

For my Harlequin friends, I wanted to tell you that HOLD ME will be part of the Harlequin mystery and romantic suspense program in July or August (I’m not entirely sure which month). This is a direct to consumer program, which means that people who have subscribed receive a certain number of mystery and/or romantic suspense books per month. And mine’s going to be one of them!

That’s really exciting. It means the book will be printed and made available to a whole new audience who would not necessarily purchase it as a digital book. I’ll get a few printed copies (and I’ll be able to give one to my mother), but it won’t be for sale as a print book in bookstores at this point.

A few people have asked if I hope to write a sequel, and the answer is yes. I would like to write THRILL ME and KISS ME (shocking titles, no?) for a trilogy. There’s no guarantee they’d ever get published, but I’d still like to write them. The book on which I am currently working is NOT the sequel, because I wanted to work with different characters. Of course, now that I find out HOLD ME was picked up for this mystery and romantic suspense program thing, I kind of wish I’d started on the sequel right away so it would be ready to submit. Ah, well. The best laid plans…

Once I have a break in my writing schedule, I’m going to update the Extras page with copies of some of the posts I wrote for other people’s blogs during my release week blog tour.  Hey, better late than never. I’ll also post more short stories (once I write them). I’m sure that Katie, Luc and Spot will feature prominently.

Finally, I’d like to ask you a favor. If you’ve read HOLD ME, please consider ranking and/or reviewing it on Goodreads, Amazon, Barnes and Noble, Audible or wherever you found it. When readers rank or review a book, it really does help word of mouth. I hope you enjoyed the book if you read it (obviously), but please be honest in your rankings and any comments you might want to make. Unless you’re my sister. Then you have to give it 5 stars.  I’m kidding. 5 1/2.

So, that’s what’s going on! I’ll keep you updated as things develop.

And now, back to our normally scheduled paranoia…
