As someone who works in yoga pants, getting dressed up is fun for me. This past weekend I headed to a Derby Party, forgetting what it was like to wear heels for an extended period of time. (Zero stars, do not recommend.) It was a fun break from graduation party planning and attempting to keep up with laundry which feels like a never-ending exercise in futility. In between all of it, my fingers have been flying across the keyboard after just passing the midway mark in book #3 of The Bachelor Pact. And most exciting, it's release week. This Sunday (5/11) is the release of book #3 in my romantasy series, Tide of Waves & Storms…bring on the water-wielding celebrations!

It's a slow news cycle for Cecelia now that To Protect is no longer on sale, my Sunday release is a C.L. book and I'm currently writing a Cissy one. But have no fear, next up is Cecelia, my current plan being a standalone connected to the Border Series world. It will potentially be set during the time of The Ward's Bride, so if you have an opinion on that, let me know. Haven't read it yet? Download here for free!

Want to be a named character in my current WIP (work in progress)? Beck Claymont is a playboy bartender, good with his hands at work, among other things. In the scene I'm writing today an ex of his walks into O'Malley's Pub. I was about to give the character a name but realized it might be fun to use one of yours! Head to Mecca Romance Readers on Facebook to comment on today's post with your favorite Cissy book to enter, and I will choose one at random to have our bar-fly ex named after you. 

We're just a few days away from finding out the mystery behind Sir Rowan from Whisper of War and Storms. This Sunday, May 11th, is the release of Tide of Waves and Secrets, and from the early reader response, it seems the heroine of this one will be a reader favorite. I'll admit, she's a fav of mine too. Nerys lost her parents to a tragedy most Thalassarians could not fathom, being water wielders, and has been delicately navigating court intrigue ever since. Because when you're more powerful than the queen herself, it paints a target on your back. You know how that is, right? My fellow QUEENS! Just five days and counting…

 

Each week I share part of a quote to coincide with the theme of my books. With Sunday's Tide of Waves and Storms release, this one chanells our inner-Nerys. Put it all together, email me the full quote at the end of the month, and be entered to win a signed paperback of your choice. 

Week 1: She wasn’t made to be quiet, compliant, or convenient…
