Big News for Audiophiles

HRD Audio coming soonAre you a fan of audiobooks? If you are, then I have big news for you. The Harry Russo Diaries are coming to audio!

That’s right, I have just signed a deal with Tantor Media for Harry’s first three adventures. Tantor will be producing and distributing the audiobooks with Dead and Kicking set for release on September 13, 2016!

I can’t wait to hear the finished product which is being narrated by the very talented Dara Rosenberg. Check out her audio samples. I think she is a great fit for Harry. How about you?

 

Don’t Miss the News

Hi everyone! Hope you are enjoying your summer (for those in the northern hemisphere) or that your winter isn’t too harsh (yes, I’m talking to all my Aussie friends and everyone else in the southern hemisphere). My summer has gotten off to a busy start. First, there was my son’s grade 12 graduation and all that entailed, then I organized the Crazy Canuck Canada Day blog hop and finally there has been some book related activity that I want to tell you about, but can’t. Evil, aren’t I?

You’ll just have to wait a bit for the news, I’m afraid. If you don’t want to miss out on the big announcement that’s coming, or just want to be one of the first to hear the news, why not join my newsletter mailing list? My newsletter is rather sporadic – I only send it out when I have actual news – so I promise you won’t be bombarded by spam.  And, just to sweeten the deal, I have a new giveaway going in conjunction with newsletter sign ups. For every 100 new members, I’m giving away a $25 gift certificate. Winners will be randomly picked from ALL names on the list (so if you have already signed up, you’re automatically entered) and once you join, you will be eligible for every subsequent draw.

One Week to Deadlocked

If you are following Harry’s story, you know that Deadlocked, book three in the Harry Russo Diaries, is set for release on June 6. I’ll be counting down this week with posts featuring some of Harry’s supporting cast.

To start off the countdown, here’s a sneak peek (caution, contains a spoiler from Tooth and Claw):

“Harry, my dear Harry! So marvelous to see you.”  Salvador clapped his hands together like a gleeful three year old.  “You look wonderful.  None the worse for wear I see.”  He rose to his feet with the grace of a panther from where he had been sitting on my couch.  He took a step towards me and I admit it, I flinched.  His smile faltered and was replaced by a calculating look.  “Ah, I see.  The cat is out of the proverbial bag, is it not?”  He looked at Isaac who gave him a Gallic shrug.  “Well, then,” Salvador continued, his smile returning, “aren’t you going to greet your father properly?”  He held out his arms like he expected me to run and throw myself at him.

“No thanks, I’ll pass.”  I stepped back, putting more distance between us.  I looked at Tomas, Salvador’s lieutenant and a fellow dhamphir, who had also risen from his seat.  His expression was shocked, his normally ruddy Mediterranean complexion pale.  I couldn’t help myself and I laughed.  “At least I wasn’t the last to know.”  Tomas scowled at me.  We have a love-hate relationship.  We love to hate one another.

Deadlocked is available for download on June 6, 2016. Pre-order your copy today!

Hands On

All the men in the Yacht Club series can be described as ‘Hands On’, but no one more so than Tyler.  He’s been enjoying the single life for quite some time and has no intentions of changing.  Until he meets Pax, that is. There’s just something about the fiery, little red-head that pushes all his buttons.

Peace and Quiet will be available for download on May 23rd.

Yacht Club - three short reads

Welcome to the Yacht Club – Vancouver’s exclusive BDSM club and best-kept secret – where few are asked to play, fewer still invited to stay.

Get your kink on with three short, spicy reads. Each sexy story brings a bit of ink, a lot of kink, topped with a hint of magic. Intended for a mature audience. Explicit language and content.

Peace, Baby

Peace and Quiet - small

Available May 23

No, it’s not a flashback to the 70’s.  Peace, or rather Pax, is the unusual name of my latest heroine in the soon to be released third book of the Yacht Club series.  Peace and Quiet will be available for download on May 23rd so if you haven’t checked out the other two novellas in the Yacht Club series, now would be a great time to catch up.

Pax quote

Peace and Quiet 

Pax Lightfoot’s name means peace, but peace is hard to come by these days.  Born with the gift to hear the thoughts of others, Pax struggles to make it from day to day without losing her mind – until she meets Tyler that is.  Tyler is an oasis of calm in a sea of chaos and Pax finds herself drawn to him.  He’s more than she ever imagined, but is she enough for him?

Tyler enjoys the single life.  As a member of the exclusive Yacht Club, Vancouver’s most elite invitation-only BDSM club, he has his pick of playmates, all of which share in his particular kind of kink.  So why is he attracted to the fiery little red-head?  She may have curves in all the right places, but her sweet and innocent demeanor screams vanilla.

Can these two opposites attract?

When life gives you brownies, make coffee.

Angharad ‘Harry’ Russo has had a busy week.  She’s fended off a swarm of pixies, battled blood-thirsty redcaps and put an end to a maniacal Fae prince hell-bent on eradicating the entire werewolf population.  She’s also decided to open a coffee shop.  Is it too much to ask for things to settle down so her life can go back to normal?

Apparently it is.  As if being metaphysically bound to Cian Nash, the most aggravating yet desirable man she’s ever met, isn’t enough, Harry’s just found out that the Magister, the biggest, baddest vampire around, is her father.  Talk about your daddy issues!

Harry just wants to concentrate on getting the coffee shop open, but between the freaky ghosts that keep haunting her and rogue vampires terrorizing the city, it looks like normal is a thing of the past.

 

Damn the Man

DB quote

 

From the Heart – Excerpt

“No, sorry…that needs to go over there, by the bar area.”  Daisy pointed the delivery man in the right direction and then turned back to look over the room.  It was all coming together, for the most part anyway.

Suddenly frowning, she shook her head and called out, “Wait! Wait!” and hurried over to where another pair of workers were setting up the bar height tables.  “They need to be spread out more.  Don’t bunch them all together.  People need to have room to mingle.”  She showed them where each table should go, ensuring a nice traffic flow around the area and out to the deck.

Backing up to take in the whole room, she suddenly collided with a hard, unyielding body.  “Oh!  I’m sorry…” She turned to face the owner of the body, her hands on his chest. “Oh!  It’s you.”

DB grinned, grabbing her wrists to steady her.  “Try not to look too disappointed.”

“It’s not that, it’s just…”

“You’ve been avoiding me.”

Daisy frowned and pulled her arms away from him, backing up a step.  “I have not.  You’re a busy man and I’m a busy woman.  Our schedules just haven’t overlapped.”   That and the fact that she had tried to time any visits to the site as early in the morning as possible in the hope of avoiding an encounter just like this one.

“And the club?”  DB looked at her with raised eyebrows.  “Are you too busy for the club as well?”

“As a matter of fact,” she started to reply but stopped at the heated look in DB’s eyes.  She cleared her throat and then stood up straighter, thrusting her chin a little higher in the air.  “I’ve been very busy.  Besides, what I do in my leisure time is not something I generally discuss with clients.”

DB grinned mischievously.  “Uh huh.  You’re just chicken.”

“I’m what?” Daisy looked at him in mock outrage.

“You’re afraid to go to the club because you know I’ll be there and you can’t keep your hands off me.”

“I…I…most certainly can!”

“You had your hands all over me a second ago.”  DB grinned at her.

“I…that was different, I was just catching my balance.”  She looked at him, her cheeks burning.  Damn the man.  He was teasing her and she was letting it get to her.  She cleared her throat again…
