Callum in Audiobook

One of the things I love about self-publishing is that I get to mix it up. Audiobooks are something I have wanted to do for awhile and I did my first one with my release, Callum, the Cursed Clan. I LOVE  my narrator David Doersch.
ITUNES  AUDIBLE  AMAZON

READ THE FIRST CHAPTER


Will desire be the answer or the ruin of an entire clan?
As Laird, Callum Lennon feels he has always failed to protect his cousins. Callum's impulsiveness caused the death of his father and the experience has scarred not only his body, but his soul. From that point on, he made sure to always go with the more logical choice in every matter. When his younger cousin Angus finds clues that might help break the curse, Callum begrudgingly hires Phoebe Chilton to investigate. Callum doesn't like bringing outsiders into their family affairs. Their life would become fodder for the tabloids if anyone were to find out about the curse. It doesn't help that the instant he meets Dr. Chilton he's attracted. But, he doesn't really have a choice because she might be their last hope.
An expert in archeology, Phoebe has always been dwarfed by her parents' shadow. Their high standards had her in college by thirteen and earning a second PhD by twenty-two. But her career and her broken marriage have left her needing something more than just diplomas and degrees. She wants to prove that her interest in legends, especially Celtic legends, is as important as her parents' work. When the Lennon family contacts her, she sees the opportunity to win a massive research grant. With a long-time rival breathing down her back, she jumps at the Lennons' offer her, hoping it will ensure her the grant. But uncovering the Lennon family secrets, and her attraction to Callum, could prove more than she can handle. Forces outside the family are determined to ensure that they fail. When an old enemy threatens both the well being of the clan and the fragile new love, Callum will have to choose between believing his mind or his heart.

A Calculated Seduction is Reissued

I just released another reissue this week! It was one of my first few books ever published ;)


A CALCULATED SEDUCTION
Dulcy Menendez has enough problems dealing with her stepmother and two stepsisters. She doesn't need her sexy new boss, Ethan MacMillan, watching her every move. Especially since every time she catches his gray eyes studying her, her pulse races and her mind conjures up images of the two of them naked.
Security expert Ethan has taken over his uncle's company to ferret out an embezzler, and he's sure Dulcy has something to do with it. He decides, against his better judgment, to seduce the secrets out of her, planning on stopping short of taking her to bed. One limo ride later, and a very determined Dulcy, causes Ethan to decide between work and love. When the sun rises, the truth is revealed, leaving them with one question: What do both of them do when they find themselves in love with a person they can't trust?

#AADRegistration for 2014 has been pushed back

Hey all!

Registration acceptance for 2014 AAD: Charlotte has been pushed back. 2013 is still very much a monster and I want to devote my time and energy to making sure THIS year is amazing. With so many awesome authors and attendees this year, and the ideas and parties we have going on, its been a bit daunting!

But I will be revisiting the acceptance for 2014 in May probably. Once we hear from our wanted Master of Ceremonies.

Heads up though because I have been getting a LOT of emails about 2014:

NY published authors that are being sent to me by their publisher representative (yes that happens every year) this doesnt apply to you.

Self published authors: you MUST apply and be accepted. Info is at the bottom of this blogpost.

Small press: If your publisher hasn't event worked with us, and isn't planning to, Please be aware I will ask you how much promotional time and energy you will personally be putting into this event. Publisher backing is Lovely because the author doesnt have to do much, but it also makes sure that the Readers arent shafted with less goodies because an author cannot afford them.

Thanks So much everyone for the patience, and you will be hearing from us soon!
