New Release – Effham Falls drops today

I’m proud to announce that Welcome to Effham Falls: Small Town Tales is available everywhere at a retailer near you.   This is the second Anthology put out by the Moorhead Friends Writing Group.  It is a collection of stories all taking place in or about Effham Falls.   It was such a joy playing in this fictional town and sharing characters.  We’ve all been so enthusiastic that it caught a bit of fire and climbed into the top 100 on a couple of Amazon Lists.

Here is a blurb of my story:

Kathy Balsam just wants to start over.  Her husband ran off with a cocktail waitress and her son left the nest long ago.  After moderate success as a novelist, she decides to open an artist retreat, but a misprint leaves the town believing she’s starting a Nudist Colony. 

Flynn Stewart just wants out.  He’s running a failing bar and his clientele is nothing but old fly boys who reminisce about days gone by.   Flynn knows all about getting locked in your glory days. He had a promising career in football before he blew out his knee.  He’s done with the past and just wants to move forward.   

Kathy and Flynn are thrown together at the same town meeting.  Each decides to help the other so they can move on.  The only problem? Their own tangled past might get in the way. 

Here is a Reading you can listen to on Spotify:

All I’ve ever wanted is my freedom.

From my boastful and controlling father.

When I discover he’s gambling away my savings at the Gold Strike casino on the muddy banks of the Mississippi River, I have no choice but to go there.

I’ve heard whispers about the eccentric man who runs it, his illusive identity as much of a mystery as what’s lurking in the shadowy swamps. He sounds more myth than man, but the moment I sit across from him, and he offers me a deal, it all becomes shockingly real.

To settle my father’s debts, the broody, handsome stranger wants me to live with him for three months.

I was ready to agree. Ready to give myself to him. Until he told me the final piece of the arrangement.

I’d have to give him a child.

A steamy, modern retelling of Rumpelstiltskin.

Cover Reveal

Title: Cougar From Hell

Series: Hellman Brothers Series

Author: Marika Ray

Genre: Romantic Comedy/Small Town Romance

Release Date: January 12, 2023

Cover Design: Jennifer Olson

I have my fresh start in a new town, this time a widow with a preteen daughter who rolls her eyes enough to make them stay that way. Too bad my past mistake is also here to greet me.

Daxon Hellman. Town a-hole. Hot young contractor hired to build my house in the woods.

It’s only when I’m face-to-face with him for the first time that I realize he’s the mystery man from two years ago. It’s a long story of too many drinks, grief that made me resort to acting out, and an encounter in the dirty bathroom of a bar. Try as I might, I can’t forget that night. And now I have a name to go with that hot body.

Daxon growls at me…I irritate him with my constant social media posting. He orders me to do things…I trample all over his ridiculous commands with a smile and a choice finger in the air. He builds my house with that tool belt slung low on his hips and my cat steals his construction plans. We fit together like rain and exposed drywall.

Between insults and hot stolen kisses, Daxon and I reach a truce: to let our bodies do the talking and keep our hearts locked down. I’m older than him, which means I’m smart enough to keep a clear head. Until I realize when it comes to love, age and common sense do not go hand in hand.

This crazy town has more surprises up its sleeve to drive us apart, which makes me think this might not be our forever home after all…

Cover Reveal – Alpha Mike Foxtrot by Giulia Lagomarsino

Title: Alpha Mike Foxtrot

Series: OPS Protector Romance Book 5

Author: Giulia Lagomarsino

Genre: Alpha/Protector Romance

Release Date: December 26, 2022

Cover Design: T.E. Black Designs

Photographer: Reggie Deanching – R+M Photo

Cover Model: Vince

They call me crazy, lethal—psychotic.

I’m all those things and more.

The darkness calls to me, sending me spiraling out of control.

But one woman calms me, bringing me back from the edge when I’m about to lose it.

She’s my savior in every way possible.

But she doesn’t even know I exist. Yet.

I see the way she struggles, trying to maintain her sanity.

I won’t let her go down the same path as my mother.

She won’t be another statistic.

There’s only one thing for me to do—take her.

It’s not kidnapping if you know the person.

She didn’t believe me when I said that.

But I’m not worried about it. She’ll soon find out there are worse things than being hitched to my wagon.

I’ll cherish the ground she walks on for the rest of my life, whether she’s in it or not.

She is my priority, the only reason I continue to live when the darkness takes over.

I’m not naive. Just because I want Anna doesn’t mean I can have her.

I am not a good man, but I am the man for her. I will protect her with my life, slaughter anyone that tries to take her from me.

And when an enemy threat looms, I’ll remove them just like any other baddie.

There is no surviving when The Phantom is calling to me.

I’m a stay at home mom that loves to read. Some of my favorite titles are Pride and Prejudice, Harry Potter, Lord of the Rings, and Horatio Hornblower. I started writing when I was trying to come up with suggestions on ways I could help bring in some extra money. I came up with the idea that I could donate plasma because you could earn an extra $500/month. My husband responded with, “No. Find something else. Write a blog. Write a book.” I didn’t think I had anything to share on blog that a thousand other mothers hadn’t already thought of. I decided to take his challenge seriously and sat down to write my first book, Jack. I was surprised at how much I enjoyed writing. From there, the stories continued to flow and I haven’t been able to stop. I hope my readers enjoy my books as much as I enjoy writing them. Between reading, writing, and taking care of three small kids, my days are quite full.

Cover Reveal – Captivated by You by Tracie Delaney

Genre: Billionaire Romance

Release Date: September 1, 2022

Cover Designer: CT Cover Creations

Photographer: CJC Photography

Model: Eric Taylor Guilmette

Girl walks into a bar, hooks up with the gorgeous guy in the designer suit, and has the hottest sex of her life.

Sounds like a wet dream, right?

Wrong.

When I wake up the next morning in a stunning penthouse overlooking the Seattle waterfront to a note saying “have a safe flight back to Chicago,” his message is loud and clear: One and done.

Famous last words.

Guess who’s waiting to greet me on the first day at my new job? Turns out the mega-rich Asher Kingcaid is far from one and done. But surrendering to his charms is a bad idea. When you’ve been burned once, it makes sense to stay away from the fire.

Except Asher is determined to drag me into the flames.

Tracie Delaney is a Kindle Unlimited All Star author of more than twenty contemporary romance novels which she writes from her office in the freezing cold North West of England. The office used to be a garage, but she needed somewhere quiet to write and so she stole it from her poor, long-suffering husband who is still in mourning that he’s been driven out to the shed!

An avid reader for as long as she can remember, Tracie was also a bit of a tomboy back in the day and used to climb trees with her trusty Enid Blyton’s and read for hours, returning home when it was almost dark with a numb bottom and more than a few splinters!

Tracie’s books have a common theme of strong women who aren’t afraid to go after what they want and alpha males who put up a great fight (which they ultimately lose!)

At night she likes to curl up on the sofa with her two Westies, Murphy & Cooper, and binge-watch shows on Netflix. There may be wine involved.

New Release – Snow by Any other Name

Title:  Tales From the Frozen North Anthology featuring “Snow by any other Name,” by Tina Holland

Series: A Brave the Elements Short Story

Genre: Paranormal Romance

Release Date:  Kindle Anthology March 15th. 

Editor: Robin Pope Cain

Cover Artist: Anthology Tiffany Fier 

Blurb:

Holly Frost has a problem. She can’t make it snow in Innocent, Minnesota. As a descendent of Jack Frost, she should be natural, but something is very wrong. She needs help so she goes to Sheriff Andy Finn.

Andy Finn is a grouchy, not-yet hibernating bear shifter. All he wants is for the snow to fly so he can get some sleep, but it’s forty degrees in December. When Holly Frost approaches him for help, he sets aside his dislike of the Frost family and does his job by taking her to a powerful elemental.

Excerpt: 

Sheriff Andy Finn watched as trouble—AKA Holly Frost—made her way towards him. What did the woman want?  Why did she look as if she had him in her sights? All he wanted was to manage this town of shifters and humans and make sure everyone got along. Having the fae parked in his backyard didn’t help, and he didn’t want to tangle with them any more than necessary. 

Andy had a job to do, and he did not need the distraction of Holly. It was bad enough he was still awake. As a bear shifter, he needed to hibernate, but his clock was off until the weather dropped below thirty-two degrees. It was nowhere near freezing, not even a frost—unless he counted the Frost standing in front of him. 

“Sheriff,” Holly sounded out of breath. “I need your help.”

Cover Reveal – Carnage by Ker Dukey

Title: Carnage

Series: Royal Bastards MC

Author: Ker Dukey

Genre: MC Romance

Release Date: November 2, 2021

Ezekiel “Carnage Creator” Ford.

Brother of the Royal Bastards MC.

Brutality incarnate.

A lone wolf.

The one they call in from the dark when they need shit done—and there’s no one better for the job than me.

I have a tainted soul, oil black and hungry for bloodshed.

The world is a cesspit. I give zero fucks about it, and it gives zero fucks about me, so when some mafia prick with a vendetta toward our club tries to torture me for sport, the last person I expect to come to my rescue is a small female with a sassy attitude and a death wish.

She’s a complication, burrowing her claws deep into the layers of my fucked-up psyche.

Part of me wants to keep her there, drench her in the very essence of who I am until she’s nothing but a weeping mess, craving the relief only I can give her.

She’s bringing my walls down, showing me maybe there’s some good in the world after all. Until my brothers find us and it’s not me they’ve come for—it’s her.

She’s not who she’s been pretending to be.

She’s the devil dressed in the tight-ass skin of a bitch I’ve become addicted to.

I don’t care who has to bleed for me to keep feeding the habit:

My brother.

Our enemies.

Her.

If she’s not in my bed and on the back of my bike, she’s not going to be on anyone’s.
