Where Sleeping Dragons Lie Now Available!



Where Sleeping Dragons Lie is now available to purchase!

Skeleton Key Book Series
One Skeleton Key. Endless Adventures.

https://skeletonkeybookseries.com

Some doors can only be unlocked by the right hand…

It was in her friend’s rare books shop that Briana Wright first saw Taron Hildebrand, a too-gorgeous-to-be-real twenty-something Englishman dressed for a night at the opera rather than an obscure shop in midtown. Unnerved by his unusual orange-tinted hazel eyes and flustered by his intensity and charm, her initial alarm raises several notches with his immediate interest and offer of an obscene amount of money for the old hand-bound book written in a strange alphabet she had found in her recently deceased grandmother’s collection. Not keen on giving up such an intriguing mystery, she refuses his offer and is surprised when he leaves the shop without even a token fuss.

Briana should have known he would be back, but when Taron claims the book is a family heirloom he’s been searching for and is able to perfectly describe the sole drawing of a skeleton key contained within the book, her initial misgivings quickly turn to excitement when she realizes that she’s on the brink of solving the mystery of the book’s origins.

Unfortunately, she didn’t count on others being just as interested in learning the book’s secrets and that the price she has to pay for that knowledge is having to run for her life. She sure as hell didn’t count on suddenly learning that dragons are real and being dragged into a centuries-long dragon civil war by Taron, one of those dragons shifted into human form that insists she is the key to finally ending their stalemate.

Most of all, she didn’t count on falling in love…

Update on Where Sleeping Dragons Lie Pre-Order Glitch


 **IMPORTANT UPDATE**
If you pre-ordered my upcoming Skeleton Key book Where Sleeping Dragons Lie, on any of the Amazon stores, my sales page had a major glitch and the end result was that Amazon managed to somehow delete the entire page in the process of trying to fix it, thus cancelling all the pre-orders on the book to date.

I've re-submitted the file, and I will post the new link where the book can be purchased on Amazon (no pre-orders this time!) here, FB, and as a newsletter announcement when the book page goes live. I apologize for any inconvenience this may cause.

*Note: If you pre-ordered this book on Nook, iBooks, or Kobo, you should receive your book on June 15th as scheduled.

I'm excited to get this new dragon book out to all my awesome readers, and am glad I was able to resolve this problem before the June 15th release date.

More Wicked Alphas, Wilder Nights Now Available!


I have a bonus scene in this anthology from my vampire romance story, Blood Escort, titled Blood Kiss:

When a kiss isn’t just a kiss…
Abby knows that she shouldn’t test Isaac’s control whenever their activities include him sinking his fangs in her. His first bite was reminder enough, but a comment from another vampire about how amazing a Blood Kiss must be for a human during sex makes her think it just might be worth the risk. The problem is convincing Isaac of the same.

This wickedly good collection is entirely made up of scenes from UPCOMING releases, BONUS scenes, and other EXCLUSIVE works, also including... BONUS SCENES FROM: - Anna Lowe: Hot Blooded Desert Night - Olivia Arran: A Sparring Distraction - Sloane Meyers: Fresh Air - Vella Day: Forever Embracing Fate - Amber Ella Munroe: Devoted - Kim Faulks: Taurus - Kallysten: Hunger's Edge - Jacqueline Sweet: How to Mate Friends and Influence People NEW WORK FROM: - Anna Lowe: Hot Blooded Desert Night - Emma Alisyn: Queen of Bears - Elianne Adams: Keeping His Dragon - J.K.

NEW RELEASE!


It's been a year since the rescue operation launched against the lions' compound of horrors, and not only is Kylie no closer to finding out the fate of her parents, but she soon learns that the lions are close to finding the location of her mother's clan, pushing Hunter and her to leave for Great Britain to search for the clan's location and a person from her mother's past in order to warn them. However, after two weeks pass without so much as a text from the couple, Maxim Clarke follows in their wake where it soon becomes apparent that he isn't the only one interested in finding his missing friends, nor is he as recovered from the tragedy of what happened to Anna as he had thought.

Last Editing Stretch for Tempted by the Tiger

I'm in the final edits of "Tempted by the Tiger" this week. With all the notes my editor sent, I have to agree with one of her points and will be adding a new scene that will hopefully raise the thriller aspect of the story as well as injecting a little more steam. While I'm working my hardest to have this book ready for a Friday publication as originally scheduled, if the release date does in fact need to be moved, then it will only be moved a week or so to either Fri, Feb 5th or Mon, Feb 8th to ensure that you're getting the best possible book. I'll post again on Friday the 29th.
