August Slipped Away… and Con Season Is Here
WHAT HAVE I BEEN UP TO?
“August slipped away into a moment in time.” — Taylor Swift
It really seemed like the longest and shortest month at the same time. The boys started school and made it through the entire month without getting sick—a new record! Of course, that streak ended this past week when Garrett brought home a stomach bug. He and Will have been trading it back and forth ever since. So, you know… fun times.
I am gearing up for Con Season. Or, at least, it is for me! I don’t normally do many in-person events, but I thought I’d fill up my calendar this year and see what happens. All of my events are currently in Alabama, but I’m hoping to add a few more outside the state soon!
RUIN ME
Chase Duncan swore he’d never fall in love again.
Then Estrella Ortega walked into his studio and turned his world upside down.
Fresh off a brutal breakup and a soul-crushing tour, the rockstar heartthrob is barely holding it together. His label wants a hit. The press wants blood. And he just wants to disappear.
Enter Estrella, a curvy, no-bullshit, Grammy-winning songwriter with a sharp pen and sharper mouth. She’s not impressed by his fame. She’s not here to babysit his ego. She’s here to do one thing: write a damn good album.
But from the moment he hears her sing, Chase is hooked.
She’s everything he’s not: calm, collected, untouchable.
And the one thing he can’t have.
Estrella doesn’t date artists.
Especially not brooding, tattooed rockstars with addictive smiles and messy pasts. But the way he looks at her? Like she’s the only thing keeping him breathing? That’s harder to ignore.
Their connection is electric. Their chemistry, combustible.
And the more time they spend behind closed doors, the harder it gets to draw the line between music and desire.
He falls first.
She tries not to fall at all.
But some songs are too hot to stay in the studio.
A sultry, slow-burn romance about forbidden attraction, healing through art, and what happens when the muse finally becomes the melody.
Midnight Heat now in Audiobook!
Some monsters kill. Others kiss like sin. Ronan does both—and far too well.
When medical examiner Alex Vasquez returns to her sleepy Alabama hometown, the last thing she expects is for her next corpse to wake up—tall, cold, impossibly gorgeous… and very much undead.
Ronan is a vampire—ancient, dangerous, and frustratingly irresistible. And he's only "alive" because of a strange power Alex didn't know she had.
With a brutal snowstorm closing in and savage werewolf attacks tearing through the town, Alex and Ronan are forced into a deadly alliance. But the heat between them threatens to ignite something far more dangerous than desire.
She's not just the key to saving the town—she's the spark of a power that could change everything. And Ronan? He might be the monster she was born for.
NEW RELEASE!
Guarding Glenda by April D. Berry
Can there be trust built on lies…even ones you told yourself?
Glenda has been pushing through life since she lost her old man. The club took care of her, and she played her part. But it hasn’t been easy. She was left fighting a battle nobody could understand. After almost dying at the hands of the Bloody Scorpions trying to save her friend, the last thing she expected, or wanted, was to wake up in the bed of her own personal enemy, Leigh.
Leigh kept his word to his brother and made sure Glenda was safe. She hated him, though, and it cut him to his core. But that promise was not for the sake of her old man, but for her. When he finds Glenda within death’s grip, he can’t deny his true feelings any longer. He knows it will be a battle not only to help her heal physically, but to help her fight the demons that plague her, even if it means he’ll never have her as his.
When tensions grow, hidden truths are revealed leaving Glenda confused and hurt, and forcing things she pushed deep down to bubble to the surface. Leigh continues to fight for her and what they could be, then learns her mind isn’t the only thing out to get her. Whether she wants him or not, he is willing to kill, and die, if it means keeping her safe.
