Rock My Heart & Other News...




Just in case you are wondering why I have been so quiet, I am hard at work on Rock My Heart, which will premiere on Friday, August 30th. It might seem easy to slip back into the world of rock and roll and begin the Scarlet Fever Series but if I am honest, it hasn't been.

Out From Under took a lot out of me, emotionally speaking, and because there is left over angst, Rock My Heart will not be as light and fluffy as the One More Night Trilogy. It will have some very dark and intense aspects to it and yes, there will be some infidelity. This isn't a spoiler, just letting you know what to prepare for.

Before you curse me and call me a bitch for changing up your favorite characters, realize Kaz and Syd didn't get together conventionally so nothing about their relationship was ever just going to settle into domestic bliss without any issues. They both have their own inner demons to fight and that is what this story is about.

No, I will not save the infidelity to the last fifty pages so there is a quick resolution, all is forgiven and all is well. It will take up a lot of space in this novel because people do stray and couples do have to work through issues.

This is Kaz and Syd's happy ending but I am not going to hand it over on a silver platter though there won't be drama for the sake of drama either. I want them to feel real, to be real and for you, the reader, to want to see them work out their issues.

Now...moving on...I have handed out quite a few ARCs of Out From Under and I know many of you have bought the book too.

I am so excited if you liked this book and left a review on Goodreads. Thank you because you didn't have to say anything at all. However, I also need some reviews on Amazon too so I am holding a contest for 5 ARC copies of Rock My Heart. This contest will only last two weeks and you have the opportunity to benefit just by leaving a review on Amazon for Out From Under.

If you bought it from Kobo or B&N, you're still eligible. If you left a review at those places or only Goodreads, all you have to do is copy and paste.

Now, I would prefer those who enjoyed the book to leave reviews but if you just thought it was meh and gave it 3 to 3.5 stars, then that is fine as well. I am not going to shoot you or think you are an awful person just because you didn't enjoy this book as well as some of my other novels. It is what it is.

However, your help is always appreciated and reviews do drive sales. I will always be grateful for all my readers so leave a review and get a chance at winning an ARC for Rock My Heart. You would get the book Sunday, August 25th...5 days before it was available for purchase. Now, if that isn't a reason to use copy and paste then I don't know what is! ;-)

Teaser Wednesday & A HUGE Announcement!


Okay, now that I have definite dates I can tell you all about, here it is! Falling Into Us will be out and available for purchase on Tuesday, May 28th, so mark your calendars. As I said before, it will be a full length novel but the tour is taking a lot of time to formulate so there have been tweaks.

One More Night will still be a trilogy but the last two books of the series will concentrate on the tour between Scarlet Fever and Winter's Regret.

So, Falling Into Us concentrates on the North American leg of the tour and Falling Into Love will concentrate on the European and Asian leg of the tour.

There will be a fourth book about Kaz and Syd but it will be the first novel in the off-shoot series, Scarlet Fever.

So, to recap before I begin this excerpt:

One More Night (Rock & Roll Trilogy)

  • Falling Into Lust
  • Falling Into Us
  • Falling Into Love
Scarlet Fever Series (Rock & Roll Quartet)
  • Rock My Heart (Kaz & Syd's story)
  • The Will to Love (Will & Laurel's story)
  • Lust & Faith (Jaden & Faith's story)
  • Grant's Muse (Grant and Sasha's story)
Got it? Good. Now here is a little teaser from Falling Into Us!

Excerpt

Kaz walked toward the stage and heard the roar of the crowd as he approached. The announcer didn’t have to do much to turn on the twenty thousand people in the audience because as he entered the stage with sparks raining down on him and the music to “Misery Queen” kicking into high gear, he knew what he had to do.
They always started off their concerts with the song because it had been their first number one hit off their self-titled first album and he loved to get the crowd going by the fast, edgy song. The lyrics were pretty morbid since the song was about a woman who cuts herself and goes too far one day. He’d written the song after he met Loire, the tattoo artist and discovered she was a cutter at one time although she wasn't the only inspiration for the song.
Kaz made his way to the microphone and grabbed it from the stand before he moaned softly into it, his melodic yet deep and sexy voice coming through loud and clear. He tried to ignore the numerous screams from the female fans, some who were taking off their skimpy clothing to show their latest purchases of Victoria’s Secret lingerie.
He’d always wanted to make music and singing was his passion. The women had been fun in the beginning but now he was getting older, it wasn’t the same, and he no longer felt like a kid in a candy store. He wanted to spend his time with one woman only and he knew she was out there watching as he performed the song.
His voice built up and became stronger and deeper as he continued to sing; the fear and anxiety of being a failure slowly left his body. This was what he was supposed to do and now he realized why he loved every minute of it as the adrenaline pumped through his bloodstream and he became one with the crowd.
This was his life and he wouldn’t trade places with anyone else. Why would he when he was living the dream? How many people could honestly say they loved their job?
Feelings of inadequacy left him as the song ended.
“Are we rockin’ the Staples Center tonight or what?” he shouted into the microphone.
The audience went crazy and the elation fed his ego, which in turn fed his confidence.
Kaz was determined to rock the house and no one could do that better than Scarlet Fever. 

To be Continued...

I hope you enjoyed today's teaser and have a great day, everyone!
