  • Let me tempt you! Chapter Three

    I did not post another chapter of Rescuing Lara yesterday for two reasons. First, I’m busy editing several chapters of my new book, which I hope to publish in October.

  • Decisions, Decisions, Oh My

    After getting the rights back for my Romancing the Guardians books, I debated whether or not to go wide with this series.

  • How to Link Print & E-books on Amazon

    It pays to read instructions, never more so than when publishing books on Amazon. I recently found that out the hard way after getting the rights back for seven Romancing the Guardians ebooks from my publisher. No problems with that, I’m happy to say. It took several days to re-pub them under my own name…
