Six Sentence Sunday (Jinni's Wish)

I really need to think about joining the official list since I pretty much do this every week anyway. :p Oh well... so, Red and Her Wolf is now published... which means it's time for me to highlight another book. So this is the beginning of book 4, Jinni's Wish. When h/h meet for the first time.


“My name is Jinni.” It was the only thing he could think to say, desperately wanting her to know his name. Wanting to share a piece of himself, miniscule though it was.

She licked her lips. “My name is, Paz.”

He smiled. A traveler had journeyed to his Kingdom long ago, bringing a caravan of servants who’d spoken in foreign tongues. One in particular, a green eyed beauty, had taught him bits of her language. A lyrical, romantic language called Spanish.

“Peace,” he said, “Paz, means peace.”

She smiled and something painful twisted in his chest. “Yes, Paz means peace.”

Oh, now I know why I don't join the group, I can never seem to stick with just six sentences. :p

Anyway, happy reading all!

Amazon aggravations

So I've been asked, why is Her Mad Hatter free everywhere and .99 cents at Amazon... so yeah, that's not me. That's Amazon. I've written (probably hundreds of notices... okay, maybe more like 20) and finally received a response. It's up to the sole discretion of Amazon whether to price match to free or not. Meaning... it's completely out of my hands. I set the price of the book as low as Amazon will possibly let me and continue to badger them to price drop.

In case anyone would like to join me in this fruitless battle all you need to do is go to Amazon, click on the link that says know of a lower price (or something to that effect)... go to any big e-retailer IE: Kobo, B&N, Istore... and show them the link.

I do feel bad, because I know some of you are paying while others are getting it free, but there's literally nothing I can do. :( If you want a kindle compatible version of the book go to www.smashwords.com type in Her Mad Hatter in the search bar and a link will pop up for that.

Best I can do right now... hopefully Amazon will eventually choose to jump on the bandwagon like everyone else has already done... but until then... sigh, the fight continues.

RED AND HER WOLF!!!

So, a brilliant and wonderful friend of mine is being her super awesome self and is helping me format Red while my regular formatter is currently indisposed. Which means.... this thing will be live either sometime today or tomorrow!! :D I'm currently only uploading a copy to Amazon... only because the second book in the series is tied up with Amazon until the 26th of October. Soon as that's done, I'll upload the other two books (Gerard's Beauty and Red and Her Wolf) to all other sites.

Also... now that I've uploaded the entire first chapter of Genesis, Rage, (Still untitled YA???)... I have a question to ask anyone who may have read it.

Interested in reading more? I've got 2 more chapters I'm willing to upload, but only if I know ya'll want to read. ;)

Okay.. woot, so excited!! And here it is, the official Red and Her Wolf blurb:


Red and Her Wolf
‘Bad boys need love too…’
                           
Long ago there lived a beautiful child. Her name was Violet. Fair of skin, with blonde hair and large blue eyes. Born of wild magic, she was a woman with a child’s heart. Innocent and lovely, but not at all what she seemed--you see Violet went by another name: The Heartsong.
She was the child of fairy magic, the physical manifestation of all fae kinds unbridled power. Cosseted and pampered, she grew up in isolation, never knowing who she really was, or why there were those who’d seek to harm her.
Ewan of the Blackfoot Clan is a wolf with a problem. He’s been sent to kill the Heartsong, but the moment he lays eyes on the blonde beauty he knows he’ll defy the evil fae he works for to claim Violet as his own.
This is the tale of Little Red Riding Hood and the Big Bad Wolf, as it really happened
