It's been a year

In July of 2009... my first contract with Ellorascave cleared for Ral's Woman. WOW. The time has gone by so fast and it's been so amazing. An emotional time too. I swear I've never cried so much in my life as I have this year - only it's been happy tears. I have so much to be thankful for.
.
I wrote for over 15 years at home in my spare time. Life always had a way of preventing me for really going after my dreams. Last year I finally was putting my youngest ( and last ) child into school so I had time opening up that I knew I could totally devote to my writing. I was 38 years old, better late than never I always say, and I feel so blessed that two amazing editors took a chance on me! I've had to learn a lot, am still learning, but I'm having the time of my life.
.
I not only got to start a series for Zorn Warriors but then I was inspired to start the Cyborg Seduction series. Of course then this hot rancher whispered in my ear. Navarro Raines nearly wrote his and Trina's story... and hence the Riding the Raines series. I just listened and typed away on Propositioning Mr. Raine. LOL. Then one night this werewolf half breed came to me and Mate Set came to be. I can't tell you how floored I am looking back and seeing where I am now. Just...amazing and WOW!!!
.
I just want to thank everyone for reading my books and giving me such a wonderful outlet to my imagination. I have a big one if you haven't noticed. I also am a write-a-holic who loves to spend time in front of my computer listening to the sexy men who show up to visit me. I have Zorn, Cyborgs, Raine brothers, and a bunch of other hot men just lingering in my mind waiting for me to get to their stories. It's kind of crowded in here but I'm not complaining. LOL! It's great company.
.
I get asked what is the coolest thing besides the whole getting my books out there is and I have to say... it's all the people I have talked to via the Internet and the wonderful friends I've made. I feel so fortunate. I'm living my dream and it doesn't get any better than that. I even get to go to Romanticon in October with Mr. Laurann. I'm so excited to get to go and meet everyone who attends! I've spent years looking at blog photos of people who attended conventions, read the wonderful stories they shared, and I finally get to be a part of that. How terrific is that??? VERY! This time I'll get to post my own photos and share stories. I can't wait to board that plane and I'm terrified of flying if that tells you how excited I am! LOL.
.
Next Friday Propositioning Mr. Raine comes out on the 30th. Mate Set got a release date for Sept. 3rd! I don't have the cover for that one yet but it will be coming along soon. And I should be getting a release date soon for Berrr's Vow - the 4th Zorn book. I'm working late nights typing out more stories and I'll be submitting one really soon. I'm working on more stories for each series. I want to just...thank everyone! Wow. I'm so blessed. Okay, here's the book info!
Releasing - JULY 30th!

Book one in the Riding the Raines series.

Trina Mattews lost her husband of sixteen years to a tragic accident. Starting her life over in the small town of Hailey, Texas, at the age of thirty-eight sounded like a good idea but she never counted on the loneliness she’d experience.

Navarro Raine is the hottest man she’s ever seen. He’s tall, with piercing blue eyes and Native American beauty. He fills her nighttime fantasies and makes her wonder about all the things she’s yet to experience in bed. And Navarro has a reputation for being very good in that department…

Discovering he’s about to lose his family ranch, Trina has the perfect solution for both of them. She’s willing to offer Navarro the money to save his ranch if he’ll give her the kind of sex she’s only read about. It might be the craziest thing she’s ever done but after years of vanilla sex, she’s made up her mind—it’s time to taste a few more flavors.

.
Coming out on Sept. 3rd
( This will have to do until I get a cover. LOL!!!)

It’s werewolf mating season. All the males are in mating heat and the driving, sexual lust of their beasts is almost uncontrollable. Mika is human, in an alley, surrounded by four horny werewolves. She knows she’s in deep shit. A tall, handsome werewolf rescues her then demands payment. Hot, sweaty, intimate payment.

Grady is a half breed and his human mother abandoned him to his werewolf father so he knows human women just aren’t safe to fall in love with. The wolf within him wants Mika as his mate, but Grady will not give in. Never. Ever. He’s willing to fight his emotions and his beast, no matter how much sexy Mika tempts him.

But neither of them expected her Uncle Omar to assign Grady to protect her from other males—24/7, in her home, sleeping just down the hall. Mika decides to make the best of her vacation and keep the hot wolf in her bed. Grady can’t resist the scorching sex, but he is determined to resist the bond.

I hope everyone has a wonderful week!!!
