Hey Bookish Boo!
It's been a week since Chaser dropped and I want to thank you all for your support. The book is doing great, the feedback has been awesome and the reviews are coming in. Which reminds me, if you haven't left a review for Chaser, please consider doing so soon.
Traditionally when you hit 50 reviews, Amazon puts some respect on your name and supports your book more with their system. I'm at 32 reviews now so we are almost there!
I've gotten some rad social media posts talking about the book. Here is an awesome one from Instagram from creator @smirks_novel.tea:
In Fingertips News...
I cancelled pre-orders for Fingertips and Breath this week because when I set them a year ago I did not think it would take me so long to get Chaser out. And I had no clue how the Amazon pre-order system worked. I thought I could move books around willy nilly and, my friend, they do NOT like that. 🤣 I was a new, enthusiastic self-publisher who didn't have to worry about any of that before with my traditionally published book. Instead of writing to beat a deadline that was going to stress me waay out, I gave myself and you the better option - when the book is sent off to the editor for the last time, I'll put up a pre-order. I'm thinking August for the release - just in time for Steamy Lit Con - and pre-sale up in July. We'll see how well these characters communicate.
One thing I did learn about Selene - she has a standing Wednesday night appointment to relieve stress. At the roller rink. I thought maybe it was a vitamin D appointment, but she assures me that it's just skating. If you've read Chaser you know all about "Operation Cobweb Coochie." 🤣🤣
This women. Gotta love them.
From the author of the Bestselling Mogul Series, Kenya Goree-Bell is the new deliciously dark, Blood Legacy Series.
In a town steeped in secrets and a legacy of blood one man rules the underworld the places where others fear to tread. He deals in retribution and sacrifice upon a throne carved from blood and steel until a real life angel stumbles upon his lair. He doesn't want redemption, just her body and her soul.
She's such a good girl... Now, she's going to be a very good f*cking girl for me.
I am Angel Cruz. I own the underworld of this town, I will own Easy Love too.
She is mine to claim.
Mine to conquer.
Mine to corrupt.
Praying won't help you little girl, but I will let you kneel for me.
I don't want your salvation.
I won't give you any mercy.
Soft smiles won't soothe this savage, nor will gentle touches, or your eager moans.
You see, I've already fallen from heaven and I can't trust it, even if I find it in your arms.
There is no goodness in this place steeped in blood and betrayal.
Just because you are too good to be true won't make me love you.
You never should have come here.
To this dark, twisted place, I reside but it's too late now,
because no matter how much you beg I can't let you go.

He’s a city boy. I’m a country girl. He’s experienced, and I’m well, not.
Some days it feels like I’m the last virgin left in the world. We shouldn’t mix. So why do I feel like I’ve found the one person to finally give it up to?
Finding the right guy isn’t easy. Especially when you know everyone and their history in your small town.
I’ve all but given up on the one when I crash—in the worst possible way—into the most gorgeous man I’ve ever laid eyes on.
He’s a writer without a story, looking for inspiration. And might just be what I’m looking for.
All the attraction in the world means nothing. Our lives don’t fit. I want nothing more than to give him all of me, but what if I’m only his temporary muse, only to be burned again?
Can I give this man everything, or will he take it and run?

Hey Bookish Boo! There is always a lot of conversation among readers about cringey words we romance authors use in our books. The conversation mostly revolves around 🐓 vs 🍆, but some influencers have whole lists of words they don't want to see 🤣. I know it frustrates some authors, but mostly I just laugh because honestly, if we stopped using the all suggested words our books would be blank LOL! I don't have words that make me cringe but I get eye twitchy at words used incorrectly in books....
Hey Bookish Boo! What are your favorite love songs? If you're read any of my books you know I love a playlist. Sometimes a song will inspire a whole scene, sometimes I scroll endlessly through music looking for the right song that goes with a particular moment. For Heartbeat, "Creep" by Radiohead became the theme song for the villain of the story, if Griffin appeared in a scene that scene was annotated with a cover of "Creep" that fit the mood. With Fingertips I heard Beyonce's song...
Hey Bookish Boo! I've been busy with my training for my husband's home dialysis and in between machine beeps and manuals I saw a post on social media from a romance reader that wished romance novels didn't always have happy endings. And not the smutty kind.😜 She said "because life doesn't always have a happy ending." *Terreece slides into frame dragging a large, ceremonial soap box up a large hill. Climbs on top, clears throat.* "ROMANCE NOVELS MUST HAVE A HAPPY ENDING OR THEY ARE NOT ROMANCE...
