Greetings, Earthlings!

You know that feeling when you push yourself past your limits? That primal scream of triumph that rips through you when you crush it? That surge of elation that makes every synapse in your body sing?

Yeah. That feeling. Right now, I’m rocking it.

Because after nineteen months of writing a 235K word intergalactic epic on my iPhone like a crazy person…stopping in the produce section to tap out a furious sentence I didn’t want to lose…standing on the sidewalk with thumbs flying to capture some sparkling phrase that sprinkled past my eyes like falling glitter on New Year’s Eve…reading every steamy word to my marvelous, ever-patient hubby over endless glasses of wine while he cooked up an assembly line of fabulous dinners…then editing, re-editing, highlighting, polishing, critiquing the hell out of it…the first three books in the Astral Heat Romance series have gone to my copy editor!!!

And I’m simultaneously elated and terrified to be closing in on the finish line.

I’m consoling myself with a Caribbean vacation in July (imagine Steven & me lying on a beach in Jamaica and sipping Pina Coladas on a catamaran in Honduras), so you won’t hear from me again until August.  However, I will be posting vacation pics of my well-tanned hubby and myself on social media!  Meanwhile, I’ve got megabites of mad reading pleasure—much of it free!—curated from across the universe for your delectation below.

INTERSTELLAR ANGEL RELEASE COUNTDOWN!

Available now for pre-order across the galaxy:

RECOMMENDED READ OF THE MONTH!

 

This month I’m dishing about SHOOT THE MESSENGER by Pippa Da Costa, Book 1 in The Messenger Chronicles. A PHENOMENAL intergalactic fantasy/sci fi/reverse harem mashup…think faeries in space, with artificial intelligence, space travel, dreamweaving, a superbly badass heroine with the galactic deck seriously stacked against her, and five hellaciously hot heroes in the harem.

Why did I love this series so much that I scarfed the whole thing in a week?

Aside from its truly unique worldbuilding—the Fae are interstellar bad guys jonesing for galactic dominion, and the dark heroine deceives and lies to everyone, even herself, to survive—this series features a hot hot hot dark fae supervillain (who of course joins the harem) and a partner-in-crime wardrone (think R2D2 with a raunchy sense of humor) who steals every scene he’s in. Plus, Kesh Lasota is the kind of heroine you really don’t want to mess with…yet she’s vulnerable.  I’m SERIOUSLY recommending this one.And the really crazy part? SHOOT THE MESSENGER is free!!
