LINE BRAWL (The Dartmouth Cobras #8) Update

Image
I realize I'm a very cruel author. How did I come to this conclusion? Well, if I'm not teasing, I'm completely silent. So how about a little tease? ;) That's right. If you haven't heard, Line Brawl is coming soon. If you follow me on social media, you've probably seen this picture. And want to strangle me for the very vague 'Coming soon...' So I'll be a nice little author and narrow that down a little. As of this moment, barring natural disaster or some kind of injury that stops me from writing--I've canceled all my extreme sports plans, so I'm pretty safe *knocksonwood*--Line Brawl will be an early summer release. I've mentioned late spring to people, but Pischlar informed me that this will be another big book. I think he's looking at Vanek's book as competition, which is a scary thought.  But with that smile, it's very hard to say no to him! lol! And there's so much going on in this book, I

ONE WEEK LEFT-V-Month sale for DARTMOUTH COBRA PRINT PACKAGES

This ones gonna be brief, because I'm getting back to working on Line Brawl and that's all that's gonna be on my mind for awhile! <g> But I figured I should give you all a heads up! There's only ONE WEEK left before the Cobra print packages go back to regular price. If you haven't checked it out yet, here's the link: http://www.thedartmouthcobras.com/print-order-packages.html And here's a picture of some of what's available (*note* the LEGENDS package is sold out, but there are still 3 THE CUP packages left. Smaller packages are available as well) Give me a shout if you have any questions. I'm constantly coming up with new things to offer the passionate Cobra fans, and I'm loving the response! :) My favorite thing to offer is more books though, so I'm gonna get back to our boys! xoxo

MY DEMONS ARE WINNERS!!!! Menage Romances Readers Favorite....

Image
As some of you might know, Game Misconduct (The Dartmouth Cobras #1) won an award a few years back for Menage Reader's Choice Interracial Romance back in 2013. I was so honored for one of my books to even be nominated. I LOVE that people love the Cobras. :) I also know not every book I put out is gonna be a hit. But what kind of author would I be if I only wrote hoping THIS book would be the next big hit? I mean, there's formulas to follow, but...yeah. No. Evil's Embrace (Celestial Pets #1) is a book I was so excited about, I tried releasing it in serial format last year so I could share it with the readers as soon as I had a decent amount to put out there. Many readers were enjoying it, but I wasn't feeling the format, so I pulled the part, brought everything together and reworked it into a complete novel that fit both me and my characters so much better. Long story short, to make up for some people having bought it in parts, I published the book

The EVIL of FREE and everything else you authors are doing wrong *smjh*

I think we need to have a serious talk. On this carpet right here. Readers, you might want to stay for this, because I think it's important we get this straightened out before our sweet little authors go out there and piss all up in the public pool of literacy. Listen, there's a formula for how you're supposed to price books. One you must follow! I don't know who all you independent authors think you are, but you have to answer for your transgressions. There's been a lot of talk around the water cooler and you're upsetting the masses. So, you want to give your readers a taste of all those words you spend days, weeks, months, maybe YEARS dumping onto all those pages? Then you paid for editing, a pretty cover, and formating. You made it look all professional. *pats author on the head* That's some quality work right there. It has value and don't you forget that! Not as much value as it would have if you'd climbed out of some slu

You Can't Scream Rock n' Roll

Well, you probably could, but you ’ re missing the point! ;) Hear me out. Let ’ s start with what rock and metal have in common. The ability to create awesome music can make a man a HELL of a lot sexier than he ’ d be otherwise. Successful bands often have a frontman whose presence makes even typically restrained girls second guess the need for panties. Or clothes at all. Which is likely why so many underthings end up on stage. ;)   Now, in itself, this appeal can vary on a woman's taste.  You have the classic rock stars... Modern rock? Classic Metal And then there's Metal...which has so many branches, let's keep it simple and look at these fine specimens. There's something of a difference in the outward style, but to me, the biggest difference is in the sound. Some hard rock can sounds a bit like metalcore, but there's an edge to metal that rock usuall

LITE EM UP! How cool is vaping?

Image
Different kinda post, but those who know me are used to my randomness by now. Let me make one thing clear right off the bat: -I am not making ANY money from a vape shop, or anyone else for this post (though I wouldn't object to it, if any of you are interested in paying me! lol!) -I'm not a scientist, or a doctor, so please do your own research before making any decisions. I will provide some links at the bottom of the post. -I don't expect everyone to agree with me. I encourage discussion in the comments, but please keep it respectful. Trolls will be eliminated. So let's get started. Smoking is cool and vaping isn't. YET. Now, before you flip the fuck out and argue that cigarettes have killed millions and is definitely not cool, I'm not saying it SHOULD be cool. Most would climb up on their judgy horses and sneer, calling it a disgusting habit and cheer for each and every law that pushes smokers out into the cold, or better yet, stuffs them in a box

NO ANGEL TOP 10 READS: RE-READ WORTHY ONLY 'Pop Books' need not apply

Image
I LOVE BOOKS. Of course, that's obvious, but there's one thing that I can't do with them... I can't read a book I truly love only once. Now, ebooks are awesome, because I used to travel with 5-10 books and that's obviously not fun. Totally worth it to have my escape wherever I go, but an ereader mean I don't have to limit myself to what I can carry. I can have all my favorites wherever I go. But I'm not a complete convert. Ebooks can't give me the smell of an old book. The smooth feel of the pages as I brush my fingers over them, my eyes skimming the printed words that just aren't quite the same on screen. This list has books I own. Books that are lovingly pulled off my shelves again and again.  So what's different about this list, compared to all the other list you check out while looking for a new book to read? Well, this isn't a specific genre list. This isn't a list of the 'pop books' repea
