Sorry I’ve been so absent of late. I’m in the writing cave finishing up my polish on No Reservations - mine and Megan’s next joint project. I should finish with it today in fact and then it’s on to Fallen, or what was Fallen but is not notFallen and we’re in the process of finding a new title.
notFallen is set in the same world as Undercover but isn’t a sequel. It’s a push/pull sort of story with major opposites so the scenes should be hella fun to write.
No Reservations takes up six months after Taking Care of Business and features the same two couples. Only this time Leah and Kate go to Las Vegas only to be followed by Brandon and Dix. Megan and I have been plotting the story and I think this one is going to be as fun as TCOB to write.
Anyway, I’ve got to get back to it. Plus, hello ANTS! They got in through a side wall, I’m not sure how, but I have to deal with them now. I cleaned up this morning (they love to invade when it’s not quite raining outside, gah!) And then back to Dix and Kate, currently in bed. heh.
Oh and I made my Sven target this weekend! This was the hardest challenge of the three for me but I did it so yay!

Just a snippet from Fated…

Releasing August 12!
“For a girl so fond of all the worst cuss words, you’re a good granddaughter.” Lia Warden smiled at Megan, mischief in her eyes.
“I think I’ve heard you use a few in your time.” Megan winked and her grandmother laughed.
The check in process should have been quick. So of course it wasn’t. Her second cousin Sherry came squealing around the corner along with her mother who squealed equally loud and enveloped their mother into a hug. A three person hopping, squealing unit that made Megan cringe and back slowly away.
“What the fuck is that?” Nina murmured.
“Why hello, Alpha Warden!” Megan smirked, feeling a plan begin to hatch. “That’s cousin Sherry and her mom. Nancy is my mom’s favorite cousin. There are six sisters and they’re all just like Nancy only Nancy is the calmest one.”
Nina’s eyebrows rose in alarm and Megan laughed.
“You’re shitting me?”
“I told you it was going to be like chewing tinfoil. I told you we should have flown. But does anyone listen to me? Nope. And you’re the Alpha so get on over there and start squealing too.” Megan shoved her and Nina sent her a look of alarmed murderous intent as Beth caught her arm and dragged her into the melee.
“Dude, she’s going to get you for that.” Tegan sidled up to her side, chuckling. “Still, it’ll be worth it just to remember that look on her face. Over and over again. Do you think she’d notice if I took a picture with my camera phone?”
Megan had the camera out already. “Well it’s a wedding. We need pictures don’t you think?”

I just finished Fated last night so I can now take a quick breath, talk about some books and then dive right back into my part of the proposal for No Reservations - my next book with Megan Hart.
Let’s see…

Candice Gilmer’s Unholy Night releases on May 5!
Blurb: Can love be found on the unholiest night of the year?
There are some things Marissa Van Dyke won’t do — celebrate Halloween is one of them. When she’s guilted into attending a Halloween party, a flamboyant woman dressed as a gypsy claims Marissa will be saved three times before she’s finally free.
Foolish Halloween games, according to Marissa. Her life is fine; not perfect, but good enough, and nothing could save her anyway.
All she wants is to leave the party until a man named Neil Drigan materializes at her side, making her forget everything but his hauntingly familiar green eyes. His animal magnetism is a dangerous temptation on a night she’s always reserved for mourning.
Can there be salvation under his powerful presence — even on such an unholy night?
It’s sexy, sad, emo - all good things!
Also! A fabulous print anthology is now available!
Magical Seduction featuring three of my favorite authors - Anya Bast, Mandy Roth and Cathryn Fox!
Blurb:
Witches, werewolves, things that bump in the night…And three arousing tales of sexual delight.
CATHRYN FOX- Web of Desire
Good witch Ally gets naughty when she discovers her long-lost high school sweetheart caught — literally — in a web of lust and seduction.
MANDY M. ROTH -Solo Tu
When Francy shows up after five years of separation to tell her beloved Dante, a werewolf, that she’s engaged to a vampire, he seduces her with a steamy surprise of his own.
ANYA BAST -Tempted by Two
Not only did Miranda just learn that she’s a half-blood fae, but she’s also got two — two! — deliciously muscular mates. She’d better adjust to all the sexy attention before a vengeful goblin tries to get in on the threesome….
I’m nearly done with Dancing with Werewolves so I’ll hopefully be able to post a brief review next week.
Last Wolf Hunting - I have a teeny bit left to go! I’ve been sneaking peeks around writing but now I can devote more time to it. I will say - so far it’s FABULOUS!
Dirty Girls - anthology with Saskia Walker and Rachel Kramer-Bussell - some of the stories are incredibly well written - I’m going to post on this one later in the week when I talk about what strikes me as good, short erotica and why.
Anyway, my husband has been gone on business all week and he comes home today! Wheee! Off to do laundry and stuff. Have a great weekend!
