You all have been extremely patient and I wanted to let you know that AOM is in the hands of Amazon and Barnes & Noble for release. Don’t blame them that it’s not up yet. Blame me. It’s late and it has to cycle through their systems. But have no fear, it should be up hopefully in a matter of hours. I will try and post the links once they are up.

But being that I’ve spent this last week eating and drinking AOM, I must give my family some time. I passed up a vacation with my husband because I was going through the copy editors notes. And it took a whole lot longer than I expected.

ARCs should have gone out. If you didn’t get yours, let me know. E-mail me, contact me on Goodreads, or through my website, twitter or facebook.

I have a bonus chapter for AOM that I’ll post soon. Plus, I haven’t yet posted the new chapter of Sebastian which I will also do.

I’m listening to Through the Lens now. That audio book will hopefully be released soon. The publisher of Beg For Mercy audio book had some delays on her end. What is it with this series that has delays? lol. Anyway, hopefully that will be out later this month or early next.

I will leave you with this picture that reminds me of Luke. He kind of looks angelic to me. (maybe it’s late, lol)

Thanks again for being AWESOME fans of the Cambions series. Love you guys. You make it worth all the hard work.

Who wants an ARC of AOM?

Can you believe it, AOM is almost here. And I’m really excited to get this story out to you. I’m looking for partners to help get the word out on this series. Some of you have been really faithful in posting reviews and blog post. You know who you are. If you are interested in receiving an ARC, please fill out the form at link below. I can’t guarantee ARCs for everyone who asks. But I will do my best. To increase your odds, please post reviews for at least the book in the Cambion series on Amazon or Barnes and Noble if you haven’t already. You only need a line or two to make a review. Reviews are golden to authors and much appreciated. And of course, Bloggers are priceless. Thanks everyone.

This form will be up until next Sunday, June 23, 2013.

Okay, updates. I’m about five chapters away from finishing AOM. Are you excited? I am. It’s been a long journey but thanks to you guys’ encouraging words, I really found my voice again. I’ve been writing like a mad woman. All the words had been in my head. It was a matter of feeling up to typing them. So, once I finish, I’ll have to put the book down for a few days and then do a re-read before sending it out to editing. Fingers crossed. If I can finish in the next day or two, this book could be published by month’s end.

Broken Lens has not been put to paper fully. No one has read. Curiously, I have a rating on the book on Goodreads. I can only think that it’s accidental because no one has read but me.

Liabilities is up next because it’s shorter. Then I will probably finish the edits on Remember. Then finish writing Broken Lens. Sounds like a lot even to my own ears. In the meantime, my writing partner is editing Rouge. Hopefully, it will be ready for beta soon.

And I’m so excited about the audio version Beg for Mercy. We’ve settled on a narrator. She is awesome. I’ve heard all her voices for Mercy, Maggie, Flynn, Luke and Sebastian. Gosh, that Scottish accent is to die for. So hopefully, that will be done by July followed by Waiting for Mercy and Angel of Mercy.

Because of the upload problems with Alliance, the new cover is on Amazon and nowhere else. So here it is. It should be updated everywhere else soon.

You can read the first few pages via Amazon’s preview page or I think I have the first chapter’s posted on Figment. I have to run, but chat with you all later.

Oh happy day….

Well, something got publish thank goodness. And this book is a labor of love. Not only does it have my favorite character I’ve written in it, it also is the first time I wrote a book with someone else.

Ah yes, my lovely writing partner Danyele (danylelejohnson.com) and I decided to write a book together over a year ago. Now first off you should know we wrote and completed the first draft of this book around the time I was writing Waiting for Mercy. So honestly, it has had no real impact on the delay publication of AOM. So it’s not this books fault. In fact, the first draft of book two was written on the summer last year. So, again, that book didn’t have a whole lot of impact on AOM.

And I should also say, that I write a lot of different types of books that would appeal to a wide range of readers and not everything I write will appeal to everyone. I know some of you it will and that’s awesome.  I just want to warn you in advance that if you have a firm view against homosexuality, this isn’t the book for you. I’ll just state it like it is. I have really minor themes on gay relationships in my other books that wouldn’t bother most even if they don’t believe in that lifestyle. However, this book has strong themes in that area. Yet, that isn’t the whole point of this book either.

Alliance is a mature young adult paranormal romance/fantasy. This is strong foul language and sexual themes. Be warned. There is also as much action as there is romance. This story is told from the point of view of two best friends. Each have secrets they are hiding from the other, but one secret may tear their friendship apart. Meanwhile back at the ranch, sorry, I’ve always wanted to say that, and I quite delirious now out of tiredness…. what was I saying. Oh yeah, meanwhile, there is a war brewing that surrounds humans. Things like whether humans should know of supernaturals existence and if they should be enslaved. Yeah, there is a lot going on. There is a cast of characters that you will get to know really well over the course of the trilogy. But not all right away.

Not to give a whole lot away, but meet my Keller. (My writing partner found this picture and said she thought this was Keller and man I can’t say it isn’t a good choice.)

Keller Witmore is a bang ‘em and leave ‘em kind of guy. Seeing that he is an incubus, so you can hardly blame him. In all his seventeen years, he’s never had anyone, a mom nor a dad to show him what love means. No one except for Hudson, his best friend, his brother in every sense of the word except blood. Growing up in the boarding school for demon and angel Halves, he’s known no other life. But when a war brews and the campus is closed, he will find out a lot of things about himself, what he is, who he is and who he wants to become. When it’s all said and done, can he ever go back to the way things were?

Meet Hudson. (These are the updated pictures.)

Hudson Yarde’s life revolves around being Keller’s wingman, it’s a full-time job with both it’s perks and drawbacks. Drawn into the Keller’s antics since a young age, Hudson stays to protect Keller from himself, stays to hide in his shadows, away from the spotlight. He stays to keep his secret. For years he’s been waiting for his incubus nature to kick in but it hasn’t happened yet. A chance meeting, the impending of war and being freed from the judgment and rules, gives him the opportunity to be what he wants to be, himself.

Together they leave for the human domain. Neither of them aware of the others secrets or of those around them. And for the first time, a gap could wedge between them, carved by the sharp knife of distrust. Lies of omission will draw a line between them at the dawn of the war over humanity.

So, give this one a try. IT should be on Amazon and Barnes and Noble. I’ll post links in the morning, fix the Hudson pic and read through the POV I wrote for you guys. I’ll post that sometime tomorrow as well when I’m more coherent.

Chow (Ciao) for now.
