New Darkness & Light Bookmarks!

Eeeep. Just had to share.

You see, my supply of Darkness & Light bookmarks is beginning to dwindle away. And as Mr B has a habit of going around and finding folk to give them to, I figured I’d better get some more. He said: get some with your new cover. I said: I don’t have the images I need to get some with my new cover. To which, he said: So ask for some then.

So I did.

And they came in my email box all shiny and new.

And I lurves them.

Wanna see?

‘Course you do.

Front ^ & back \/

Whatcha think?

I can’t wait to order some of these. Can’t wait to share them with folk. However, if you have the impatience of a greyhound on a track and you just have to go print one off NOW, as I usually do with any tchotchke images, I’ve uploaded the bookmark files to my website. You can find them HERE!

Enjoy, and thanks for stopping by.

 

Need a Wolfie Summer Read? Then Come Enter to Win at the Lazy Days of Summer Giveaway Hop!

Hey all, and welcome to my stop on the Lazy Days of Summer Hop. First up, I’d like to give a huge thanks to I am a Reader, Not a Writer and Colorimetry for hosting this hop. Please remember to take a moment to click on the image to hop across to the linky list of participants, where you’ll find tonnes of great giveaways happening.

And onwards with my post!

Well, as summer is pretty much right on top of us, and most kids are done with school for the holidays, which means many of you lovely folk will be heading off to beaches and forests and relaxing evenings by the pool, I figured what better to accompany such a trip than a great wolfie romance read.

Yep, one lucky winner shall receive an E-Copy (either mobi. or epub) of my paranormal romance (with a supernatural twist): Darkness & Light.

Here’s what it’s all about:

Jem Stonehouse, a housewife with a neurotic husband bent on keeping her in line, dreams about werewolves in, what she believes to be, a bid to escape boredom.

Sean Holloway is a werewolf, living a charade within the human race, whose mind drifts to a bond he shares with a woman he hasn’t met—at least, not in this lifetime.

Apart, the two are safe, but live unfulfilled lives.

Together, they’ll become prey to rival packs, just as they have been for hundreds of years.

When their worlds collide, instinct takes over. Dreams become reality. Their renewed bond deepens. To keep history from repeating itself, Sean must teach Jem about his heritage, convince her of her role, and win her love.

Can Jem accept her destiny before it’s too late, or is her inner wolf buried too deep to save her future with Sean?

Sound like your cup of tea? Coolio. Then head on over to the Rafflecopter Form to enter.

Good luck!

NEWS: New ‘Darkness & Light’ Cover!

Yep, you did read that right.

Darkness & Light has been allocated a new cover.

Why?

Well, my editor contacted me some weeks back and told me they were considering changing the cover so that it will ‘fit in’ with the other covers of the series as an entirety.

They wanted something that was more relatable to the Blue Moon cover.

They also wanted something that was going to look like it belongs with any covers they’re planning to produce for future Holloway Pack titles.

In layman terms: They want the covers, when all standing side by side, to look as though they are part of a collection and to be recognisable as part of that collection.

On top of that, they reasoned that Darkness & Light was almost One Year Old (O_o) and they thought it would make a nice (almost) anniversary marker.

To be honest, I was wondering what on earth they might come up with. The image of the wolf duet has been in my head a long time. And I’m pretty restricted in my ‘vision’ when it comes to imagining visual art and the end results, so to see something else ‘in my head’ was nigh on impossible.

However, my editor sent me the result, and after a couple bits back and forthing and a few tweaks made here and there, I’m happy with the finished article.

And here it is:

For now, the new cover will only be available in the E-versions of the book.

But that’s not the ONLY news!

To help promote its new look, Darkness & Light will be available in E-format throughout the month of June at the bargain price of 99c (or 70-summat-pence to us Brits).

Whoo-hoo!

AND …

The new E-version of Darkness & Light will sport three Sean Holloway POV scenes at the back.

Two of those (Of All the Burger Bars in All the Towns … & Mates Reunited) I have already made public on my website and are available for viewing any time.

However, the third one, titled: ‘Welcome back, Jem‘ has never been released anywhere, and for the time being, will ONLY be available via the new E-book.

So if you know anyone who hasn’t managed to nab a copy yet and would like one, be sure to spread the word and let the peeps know.

So … what do you think?

WOLFIE WEDNESDAY: SEAN POV SCENE!

Hi, all. And welcome to a lovely Wednesday, otherwise known Wolfie Wednesday in JABLand or hump day to all the more normal folk out there.

As the post title suggests, I’m here to tell you about a new Sean POV scene from Darkness & Light. After posing the question for which scene to rewrite from the man’s perspective, and listening to the feedback, I decided to go with ….

The Burger Bar Scene!

Yup, that scene where Jem’s sat jotting away in her pad and Sean rather rudely interrupts her concentration (how dare he?!) to introduce himself. You know the one?

Well, now you can get to see it from the other side of the coin. And I have aptly (imo) named it:

Of All The Burger Bars In All The Towns …

So I’ll just quit waffling and tell you … HERE YOU GO … because it’s now posted on my Website with all the other free reads.

Hope you enjoy.

LUCKY LEPRECHAUN GIVEAWAY HOP!

DARKNESS & LIGHT: HOLLOWAY PACK #1

OR

Three men never expected love to wreak so much havoc in their lives.
In Marked, Darkness & Light’s Sean Holloway is on a mission—to find the perfect gift for the woman of his dreams. When all conventional choices turn out to be the wrong ones, each failed attempt convinces Sean his self-imposed task is impossible. But in the world of the Holloway Pack, anything is possible if it can be kept a secret.
In Misguided, Little White Lies’s Wyatt Moreland is hot on the trail of a wanted man when a rumor about his fiancée halts his progress. His desire to keep her safe wars with her need to be involved in his work and could derail their entire wedding unless he finds out the truth before she does.
In Tempted, The Glass Man’s Liam Kane made a promise to the fae he loves never to use his power to harm others. When a horrific event angers him, the energy boiling inside seduces him into walking a dark path. He has but one choice: resist his own nature or give up the one he loves.
Will the three men make the right choices? Or will their actions destroy their futures with the women they love?

INTO THE UNKNOWN: (anthology containing:) HOLLOWAY PACK #1.5*

OR

Werewolf Sean Holloway treats the village marketplace like a sexual buffet, though his charm does little to win over his latest entr e of choice. Whether because of Jem Stonehouse’s unique scent, her headstrong nonchalance, or the fact he is forbidden to see her by his pack’s rules, Sean wants her.When Jem is nothing but flippant toward his advances, he pursues her with vigour, stealing moments alone with her without a libido-driven agenda.The new and heady experience for him drives their relationship beyond romantic interest, and straight toward love.That is, until Jem learns the truth about Sean’s heritage. Knowledge of the existence of werewolves leads to only one outcome: death.In this prequel to Darkness & Light, we are taken back in time, to the very beginning of Jem and Sean’s love-across-the-centuries relationship.Did it end there? Or did Sean defy his own pack to save the woman he loves?
