Unbowed

Thank you!

Thank you to everyone who picked up a copy of Unbowed and helped it reach #1 in Erotica in the Kindle store. I am grateful for this wave that has lifted the book to a high for a fleeting moment.

It's in keeping with the season and this view from our kitchen window this morning.

In Japanese culture sakura, cherry blossoms, are a reminder of the impermanence of all things. Or, as Joni Mitchell put it, "You don't know what you've got til it's gone."

Yesterday the pink blossoms were a little bit brighter. Tomorrow they will be paler than today. By the weekend almost all the blossoms will be replaced by leaves.

However, I know what I've got - a moment in the sun. Thank you

An interesting year.

I’m trying something new this year. For the first time ever I’ve planned a series of four books, well 1 novella and 3 novels, and won’t release any of them until all four are completed. The series name is Without Mercy. The books are:
Unbowed, novella prequel
Unseen, book 1
Unchosen, book 2
Untamed, book 3
Each book follows the romance of one couple as an entire community tries to solve the mystery of the murder of the powerful matriarch.
This is the first murder mystery I’ve written. It’s the first time I’ve pushed myself to complete a series in so quickly. I’m not one of those fast writers who can turn a book out every 1-2 months.
I had to book a slot with a brand new editor months in advance.
It’s the first time I’ve worked with cover artist Dani Rene at Raven Designs.
So many firsts! I’m definitely out of my comfort zone.
