More Immortal Guardians News

Happy Friday!! What a week it has been! I have so much to share with you. There are only four and a half weeks to go until the release of Death of Darkness, Immortal Guardians Book 9, also known as Seth's book. 😊 I'm so excited!! And look what came in the mail:



My Death of Darkness ARCs!! Woohoo!! I think I startled the delivery man in my haste to open the box. They're so big and pretty. πŸ˜€ I love them! And I will now start mailing them out to reviewers. I can't wait to hear what they think of Seth's story!

Seth has led the Immortal Guardians for thousands of years. With them fighting by his side, he has protected humans from psychotic vampires, defeated corrupt mercenary armies, defended military bases under attack, and more. But the latest enemy to rise against the Immortal Guardians has proven to be a formidable one, wielding almost as much power as Seth. His goal is simple. He wants to watch the world burn. And he will use every means at his disposal to accomplish it. Seth and his Immortal Guardians have succeeded thus far in staving off Armageddon despite heartbreaking losses. But they have never before faced such danger. Seth has only one wish: to protect his Immortal Guardians family and ensure the continuation of humanity by defeating his foe. But then Leah walks into his life and sparks a new desire.

Leah Somerson has suffered losses of her own. It has taken her a long time to rebuild her life and find some semblance of peace. Then one night a tall, dark, powerful immortal with what appears to be the weight of the world on his shoulders stumbles into her shop, and everything changes. Peace and contentment are no longer enough. Now she wants more. She wants to find happiness. She wants to erase the darkness in Seth’s eyes and replace it with love and laughter. She knows he’s different in ways that make most fear him. Even some of his immortal brethren keep a careful distance. But Leah will not. Nor will she shy away when danger strikes.

It's time for a special Favorite Quote Friday! Today I will offer you your very first sneak peek into the pages of Seth's book. The only thing I'll say to preface it is that this scene takes place in Leah's shop:
Adira straightened in Seth’s arms and stared at Leah. 
“Hi there, cutie,” Leah said and waggled her fingers. 
Her cheeks plumping with a big grin, Adira thrust her arms out and lunged toward Leah. 
Eyes widening, Leah hurried to catch her, inadvertently trapping Seth’s arm between the toddler and her breasts. “Oh! You gotta give me a little warning before you do that, sweetie,” she said on a laugh. 
“I’m sorry.” Seth wasn’t sure if he should retrieve Adira or relinquish her and extricate his arm. “Shall I take her back?” 
“No, it’s okay,” Leah responded with a good-natured smile. “She likes to sit in my lap when Ami brings her to storytime. So she knows me. Let me just… Here… How’s that?” She held Adira slightly away from her body so Seth could slide his arm out. 
Behind her, David’s face creased with a grin while Seth tried to minimize contact with her as he withdrew his arm. But she had lovely full breasts and hadn’t left him much space. 
Really? David asked telepathically, his dark eyes twinkling with amusement. Trying to cop a feel at your age? 
Seth shook his head. You’ve been spending too much time with Sheldon. 
David’s laughter filled his head.
She really did have beautiful breasts though. Seth was surprised to feel another tingle of awareness slither through him.

I hope you will enjoy reading or listening to this book as much as I enjoyed writing it. πŸ₯°

Have a wonderful weekend!

Awaken the Darkness—Only 4 Days to Go!

Happy Friday! Only four days to go until Awaken the Darkness releases in ebook, paperback, and audiobook! I'm so excited!! And you can now pre-order it on Audible. :-)



The first review came in and it's fantastic!! I was so very pleased to hear Lucy Dosch at eBook Obsessed enjoyed Stanislav and Susan's story. You can read the full review HERE.

Thank you again, everyone who has pre-ordered the ebook, paperback or audiobook. Don't forget to enter my Awaken the Darkness Pre-Order Giveaway. I'm giving away 1 $50 Amazon Gift Card and 2 Awesome Prize Packs (an Awaken the Darkness pillow (my personal favorite), a signed Blade of Darkness paperback, an Awaken the Darkness coffee mug, an Immortal Guardians pen, 4 postcards, 12 bookmarks, and 12 trading cards). 


For those who have asked: If you pre-order Awaken the Darkness in two formats—ebook and audiobook, for example—then you are welcome to enter twice. :-)



Note: Because I've run into difficulties in the past issuing gift cards and shipping prize packs this size to overseas winners, I do, unfortunately, have to restrict this giveaway to residents of the United States and Canada. Sorry about that. My Facebook giveaways (swag packs or a signed book + swag) are almost always international though. :-)

It's time once more for Favorite Quote Friday! I thought I would tease you with another snippet from Awaken the Darkness. This one features Stanislav and Susan, the hero and heroine:

"Don't." 
"Don't what?" 
"I can feel the guilt and regret pummeling you." Relaxing his grip, he drew back enough to look down at her.  
Susan didn't want to abandon her hold and settled instead for lowering her hands to his hips and tucking her fingers in his belt loops. 
He cupped her face in his big hands, smoothed his thumbs over her cheeks while he gazed down at her with eyes that held an amber glow. "I'm here because of you. You gave me the strength to hold on until you found me. And you've done you damnedest to protect me and take care of me ever since, even after discovering the alarming differences I bear." 
"I'm thankful for those differences. Without them, you would've died before I even went to look at the house and I would've never known you." She shook her head. "And I'm so glad I know you, Stanislav." 
His eyes flared brighter. Lowering his head, he took her lips in a voracious kiss.

Have a wonderful weekend!

Blade of Darkness—Favorite Quote Friday

Happy Friday! 


September 19, 2017

Tuesday marked the One Month To Go point for Blade of Darkness's release.  I celebrated with a fun giveaway over on My Facebook Page.  Congrats again to Rachel R. for winning a signed copy of Shadows Strike + Immortal Guardians and The Gifted Ones swag!  I'll probably have quite a few Flash Giveaways between now and release day, so keep an eye on My Facebook Page. or send me a friend request so we can connect on My Personal Profile, because I don't always get a chance to mention them here.  :-)



Yesterday Tropical Storm Harvey became a hurricane and turned my way.  They're saying it will be at least a Category 3 by the time it makes landfall.  And, to make matters worse, they expect it to behave like Tropical Storm Allison did and just park over us for several days and dump up to twenty inches of rain.  So . . . I may not get much work done in the next few days.  And if you don't see me on Facebook for a while, it will likely be due to power outages.  The rain and storms are supposed to last through the middle of next week.



Just a reminder:  Voting has begun in the IRC (Indie Romance Convention) Awards.  Rendezvous with Yesterday is up for Best Historical Romance and Best Time Travel Romance.  If you enjoyed Robert and Bethany's story (and the peek into Marcus's past), I hope you'll take a moment to vote. :-)  Here are the links:






Also, if you pre-order Blade of Darkness in ebook, paperback or audio (Audible link coming soon), don't forget to enter my Blade of Darkness Pre-Order Giveaway.  Pre-orders are so important to authors.  So I'm showing my appreciation by giving away 2 $50 Amazon Gift Cards and an Immortal Guardians Prize Pack when the book releases.  Here's a link:

It's time once more for Favorite Quote Friday! How about another sneak peek into the pages of Blade of Darkness? This one features Aidan and Dana, the hero and heroine. :-)
Silence enfolded them. 
Dana would’ve thought sleep would claim her pretty quickly after their fabulous lovemaking. But it didn’t. 
Aidan arched a brow. 
She grinned. “I don’t know about you, but I’m wide-awake now.” 
He laughed. “Me, too.”

I really love these two together and hope you will, too.  Have a great weekend!  For those who are in the path of the storm:  Stay safe!
