Nehalem Pack 39 A Mate's Forgiveness

Hello! Its insane how fast this year has gone by. Its as if I blink and my kids are taller and its gone from summer to winter. Insane!!!

The Nehalem Pack saga continues with book 39! I can't believe we're on book 39!!!!
A Mate's Forgiveness is Lucas and Bane's story. Lucas was introduced into this series as a baby. Well he's all grown up now and looking to stake his claim on his mate. A mate who isn't quite human nor a shifter.

I love the character of Bane. He's had a rough introduction into the shifter world and anyone would be able to relate to his fear and hatred toward shifters. But the connection he shares with Lucas makes his question everything he thought he knew.

I love stories like this! Two characters kept apart by circumstances. They must fight for what they want and hope they can make it out a live to see another day.

A Mate's Forgiveness will release on January 5! Hope you guys will enjoy!

Hope everyone had an amazing holiday season and happy reading!!!!

Update!!!

Boy has it been a long summer. Between trying to write I've been spending time with my family and we even took a 2 week vacation together. I'm proud to annouce everyone survived and there were very few fights. Driving across the country with four kids can be a little nerve wracking but the kids did great and fighting was at a minimum.

I have a lot going on writing wise. The Nehalem Pack has several books coming out and or in the works. This series is my favorite. The characters are easy to write, only because they talk to me quite a bit more.

Book 26, A Mate Worth Waiting For, has just been accepted by Siren and will release in November.

This is Raleigh and Christian's book. I had a lot of fun writing it! Poor Christian has waited four long years to finally be reunited with his mate. I'd love to tell everyone what happens but what fun would that be? I will say this, Raleigh is the most understanding, sweet and loveable guy on the planet.

While plotting out this story and just in general, I listen to a lot of music. So naturally I made Raleigh a lover of music and serval of my favorite songs made it into this book. I'll post the playlist. I love when books mention music and certain songs that help feed into that moment in the story.

The next book on my to-do list is book 13 in The Warriors of the Light series. This will be Benedict and Asher’s story. I've been playing around with a few ideas and because of this type of paranormal storyline I can step out of the box on what is considered normal. Don’t worry, I’m not going to do anything to crazy but I'm definitely sending Asher and Benedict on a journey and maybe resurrecting a fallen warrior. We shall see!

Thanks for stopping by! Happy reading!!!

Release Updates!

I really can’t believe I haven’t posted a blog since SEPTEMBER! That's like forever ago.

I've been keeping myself busy. Between writing and family there’s little time for anything else. And now that we're coming upon summer I'm going to be super busy with all my kids’ stuff. The joys of parenthood. I love them but they keep my husband and me running around like chickens with our heads cut off and never going in the same direction.

On to writing news! I have three books coming out within the next 5 weeks. Here's the list:

Book 20 Nehalem Pack, A Wolf's Atonement April 2 (Paranormal)

This will be Tenny and Jordan’s book. These characters were introduced in book 19, The Teacher and His Wolf. Tenny is Knox's younger brother who ran away from home only to end up becoming a prostitute. That right there is why this title is under the Love Edge category. I will say this I do not make a lot of references to his past work as a hooker. This story focuses more on that fact that Tenny abandoned his family not what he did once he was away from them. There are parts that made my own damn eyes tear up.  

Blurb:

Tenny Farrell has made his fair share of mistakes in his young life. Regret has become a good friend of his and now that he’s in Silver Creek, he’s willing to do whatever it takes to make amends for his past sins, but his family isn’t making it easy on him.

The last thing Tenny needs is one more complication to deal with, but that’s exactly what he gets when he meet Jordan Campbell. The man is everything Tenny’s ever wanted, but not knowing how Jordan will react to who he is, Tenny lies. He just needs a little time to figure everything out.

The truth always has a way of coming out and Tenny’s world comes crashing down around him when all the half-truths he’s told are exposed. Nothing is ever as it seems, and Tenny is discovering some things in life are worth fighting for. He just has to pray it’s enough to grant him forgiveness.

Book 12 The Warriors of the Light, Julian's Forever April 18 (Paranormal)

This is Julian's and Daniel’s book. Julian is Damon’s half-brother and was introduced in book 11, Damon's Determined Wolf. Daniel is a human who is searching for the person responsible for murdering his best friend. Daniel is going through some of his own personal issues but I don’t want to give too much away!

Blurb:

Daniel Young is battling terminal cancer and using what time he has left to find answers to who killed his best friend no matter what danger it puts him in. With nothing left to live for what does Daniel have to lose?

Julian Salva joined the Warriors of the Light to help put a stop to the evil trying to take over the world and to find his nephew. Never in a million years did he expect to meet a fearless human on his latest mission. The man infuriates Julian with his lack of caution and inability to follow an order. For reasons unknown to Julian he’s falling for the human, if only Daniel was his mate.

Nothing is ever as it seems but there’s no time to find out all the answers. With Daniel’s life hanging in the balance Julian will risk everything for a man he barely knows.  Julian prays that this time, time is on his side.  

Book 2 A Forever Home, Safe in HIs Arms May 2 (Contemporary)

This series gets neglected a lot but I really love the characters within this series and I also have a lot of plans for this series. Safe in His Arms is E and Sam's story. A lot of tension and frustration is in this story. Which I did on purpose. What’s a good love story without a little struggle and give and take??

Blurb:

A chance encounter six months ago has changed Elliot Nolan’s life forever. It was only supposed to be one night of great sex, nothing more but once Officer Sam Lancaster steps back into his life, Elliott doesn’t know what to do. He’s suffered abuse from a man who claimed to love him before and allowing someone so close again is a fear Elliot’s not sure he can ever overcome.

All Sam wants to do is fall in love and settle down. Is that so much to ask for? Apparently when it comes to Elliot it is. Sam tries to be just friends with Elliot but that is proving to be a lot easier said than done.

People come in and out of your life for a reason and Elliot is starting to see that maybe Sam’s worth the risk. A lifetime alone is a safe option but living without Sam is something Elliot isn’t sure he can do.

I just finished Nehalem Pack 21. I'm still working on a title for that one! I will admit I did something a little different in this story and I hope the readers will enjoy it.

Hope everyone has an excellent week and happy reading!!!

The Alpha's Captive: Cover and Blurb

Hope everyone is having an awesome Monday/Presidents day! My kids are out of school so I'm hiding up in my room trying to get some work done. I'm  finishing up on edits for The Alpha's Captive and starting on The Wolf's Runaway Tiger's edits.

As of right now the Nehalem Pack series has four books with release dates and I just submitted book five last week. I'm having a lot of fun writing this series. The characters really did come to life for me. The words flowed like water out of my brain through my fingertips and to my laptop. If you can't already tell I absolutely love these characters and the story line for each one.

The Nehalem Pack series is centered around three brothers, Devon, Viktor, and Erik. They're wolf shifters who are still dealing with the loss of their parents ten years prior. There's action, love, and a good amount of hope within this series for the characters. I haven't decided how many books this series will be but there are quite a few characters who deserve to have their story told.

Here is the cover and blurb for The Alpha's Captive. Its set to release March 16, 2013.

Blurb

Hunters have taken everything from Devon Carsten. First, they murdered his parents, and now they’ve taken his brother. With no other options left, Devon decides an eye for an eye, or in this case a brother for a son, is the best course of action, and he takes the son of the man who kidnapped his brother. But his plan blows up in his face when he realizes the man in question is his mate.

Aiden Stefano never imagined a weekend at home would start off with him being kidnapped by men claiming to be werewolves or that he would fall for one. Now he must find a way to convince Devon what they share is worth fighting for and prove to his father that wolves aren’t the monsters he believes them to be. Shouldn’t be too hard, right?

Aiden is the only thing Devon has to bargain with, but can he give up his mate to save his brother?

Here is a schedule of release dates for the three upcoming titles.

The Wolf's Runaway Tiger- March 30, 2013

His Dominant Omega- April 13, 2013

The Hunter's Sexy Wolf- April 27, 2013

Hope you've enjoyed this little tid-bit and will fall in love with these characters like I have.

Thanks for stopping by and happy reading!!!
