Helping Hands: A Note about Giving Back

SecretsdontmakeFriends_1000x1500 (2)

Today, I’m releasing a book called Secrets Don’t Make Friends. Along with being a thriller, a suspense, and a story about friendship, the book is about not only getting free from an abusive relationship, but how difficult it can be to navigate the world after one does.

I know this topic is sensitive, and I know it’s touched more women and children and families than it should. Abuse, whether psychological, emotional, verbal, or physical, makes people feel hopeless. It makes them so afraid to move that they believe there’s nowhere to go. That there’s no way out.

No one should feel like that, but also, it shouldn’t be true. When a person gets up the courage to flee, they should always have somewhere to go. That is why, with the release of this book, I plan to donate $100 to Hope House, a local Kansas City shelter that provides amazing services to my community.

Below is the trailer for Secrets Don’t Make Friends (yay, film degree!). I have decided that if I get 500 shares of the video, I will up my donation to $250. My good friend (and NYT Bestselling Author) Denise Grover Swank, has agreed to match that amount if our shares get over 1000.

Buy Links: Kindle | Nook | iBooks | Kobo | Google Play | Paperback (Amazon) | Paperback (B&N)
Add to Goodreads 

 

So, shortcut:

I donate $100 today because I want to, and it’s a good cause and a good time to give back.

This video gets 500 shares, I donate another $150.

This video gets 1000 shares, Denise donates $250 of her own.

Can we do it!! I think we can!

Here’s the link to the video, in case you’re not YouTube savvy. Thank you, little june bugs, for reading. As always.

The Thing About Mistletoe & Mr. Right

You may recall that last year, about this time, I released an ebook with Bloomsbury Spark called Mistletoe & Mr. Right – some of you have even read it! Now, here I am all pumped and excited about…the same book?

Not quite.

This pretty new HARDCOVER version of Mistletoe & Mr. Right does includeJessica and Grady’s story in Fanore Ireland. It also includes Christina and Cary’s story – one that takes place in London and follows two people who fell in love as teenagers try to figure out if they can do it again…or if they ever stopped. That second story is called Sleigh Bells & Second Chances, and it’s part of this beautiful book that you can go and find in real stores in your town.

I’ve published a lot of books, you guys, but I’ve never done this before now–seen my book on a shelf at a national bookstore chain. Never had readers sending me pictures from those same stores in their hometowns.

It’s a special day, and as always, I want to thank you so much for stepping onto this journey with me.

Below are buy links if you want to grab the ebook, or grab a hard copy online. I may be a bit biased, but I think it would make a great holiday gift for all of those romance readers in your lives!

You Scratch My Back…

I’ll Scratch Yours! That’s how the saying goes, right (and it’s a good saying, because I mean, who doesn’t love a good back rub now and again)?

anigif_enhanced-buzz-16684-1379369356-4

If you’re friends with authors, or follow authors on social media, or are (un)fortunate enough to have an author in your family, you probably know that we’re crazy for reviews. And it’s not just because we’re masochists who enjoy weeping into our wine glasses while we read what people think about our little darlings (good or bad), either – reviews matter for a whole host of reasons, not the least of which that the more we have, the more appealing the books are when we submit them for advertising and promotion.

giphy

All of that little insight into the terrifying author mind was to tell you this – I recently bundled the first three books plus a novella in my Lowcountry Mystery series (a series about a young woman who returns to the small, South Carolina town where she spent her summers growing up in the hopes that it will provide some shelter in the storm of her life, but instead finds that things are not what they were – and that even the ghosts won’t leave her be) into a boxed set.

LowcountryMysteriesBundle_Size1250x2000

It’s for sale on all platforms for $7.99 currently (which is $2 cheaper than buying them all separately), so it’s a good deal as is if you haven’t checked out the series!

I know that many of you have read Gracie’s adventures (thank you thank you thank you!), so of course you wouldn’t need to purchase the bundle, but that doesn’t mean you can’t help me out (or enter the giveaway)!

Here are the links:

Amazon : iBooks : B&N : Google Play : Kobo

***GIVEAWAY***

Here’s the long and short of it: It’s my hope to use this boxed set in a promotional capacity going forward (putting it on sale to get readers hooked for future books) but in order for sites like BookBub and BookGorilla, etc to consider advertising, the boxed set needs it’s OWN reviews. If you’ve read the stories separately, you’re all set – just type up a little review of your thoughts on these 3.5 installments and post!

200

If you haven’t read the series, now’s your chance!

Once you’ve written and posted a review (any retail site is fine, but Amazon is best!), just come back here and post a link in the comments.

***PRIZES***

EVERYONE WHO LEAVES A REVIEW FOR THE BOXED SET WILL RECEIVE A SURPRISE SWAG PACK IN THE MAIL and be entered to win a grand prize.

THREE people who leave review will have the opportunity to NAME A CHARACTER in the series going forward!

ONE person will win a $25 GIFT CARD to the bookstore of your choice.

***RULES***

The review must be posted by September 15th, 2015.

The giveaway IS open internationally.

Enjoy!

Need a Little Christmas in Your July?

***Heather Markowski is the winner of my ARC! Thank you everyone for entering AND for sharing your stories – I’m almost in the holiday mood, now!!***

 

So, I don’t know how the weather is where YOU live, but here in the middle of the USA it is swelteringly, meltingly, humidly, BOILINGLY HOT. Now, I’m not much of a winter person, myself, but even those of us who hate bundling up on those cold winter days might be dreaming of a little frost, cocoa, crackling fires, and dinners with family about now.

What better time to give away one of my paperback ARCs of Mistletoe & Mr. Right (Two Stories of Holiday Romance)?? 

MistletoeCollage

That’s right – there are TWO novellas combined in this hard copy version, and guess what else – Kirkus says “These fluffy yet sexy romances will wrap readers in warm blankets.” (Romance. 16-20)

HOW COOL IS THAT? SUPER COOL.

Okay. In order to enter to win the paperback ARC, tell me the Christmas/Holiday tradition that you look forward to the most – especially when you’re sweating in the summer heat! I’ll choose one winner at midnight on July 26th so make sure and enter before then!

I’d also appreciate some shares if you have the time! Happy Christmas in July!

Announcing…Free Things!!

Who doesn’t love free things, right?? Well, the first free thing I’m want to tell you about is Not Quite Dead. It’s the first book in a quirky, funny, southern mystery (with non-scary ghosts!) and is also one of my very favorite things I’ve ever written. And it’s FREE everywhere except Barnes and Noble, who continues to love shooting themselves in the foot as far as what they’ll allow indie authors to do on their site. It’s $.99 there, so if you’re a Nook reader, I hope that’s not going to turn you away.

You can find the links to download it here.

There are currently three books in the Lowcountry Mystery series, and although the mystery in each stands alone, the main character (Graciela) and her relationships spill over from book to book. I’ve decided that before the fourth book is released, I’m going to share a novella with you that offers some different points of view from the series and in general just deepens the stories and connections between characters.

The best part is, if you’re signed up for my newsletter you’ll be able to read the novella – Quite Curious – EARLY and for FREE. You’ll need to be signed up no later than June 1, since the first part of the novella will be released June 2.

Here’s the cover:

QuiteCurious_LylaPayne

And the synopsis:

Graciela is hoping that, despite the reappearance of her father—who’s supposed to be dead—her life in Heron Creek might be about the calm down.

Her boyfriend’s mother has other ideas, ones that include getting to know her son’s new squeeze. The proposition makes Beau nervous for more than one reason, a couple of which would be news to Gracie.

Amelia’s therapy appears to be going well, so that’s working in Gracie’s favor, but with trouble brewing in Will and Mel’s marriage, the moonshiners getting more involved in Heron Creek affairs instead of less, and Leo’s sister Lindsay returning from her stint in the state pen, settled isn’t the best word to describe life in the small town.

Gracie is starting to think that maybe seeing ghosts is the least complicated thing about her…and she’s probably right.

Includes POVs from Beau, Will, Leo, Amelia, and Clete.

If you know you’re going to want the final product all together on your device you can preorder it from Amazon or iBooks.

You can also add it to Goodreads!

 

ISSUE – PLEASE READ.

ISSUE! 
Please read on if you downloaded a KINDLE version of LIVING THE DREAM within 36 hours of its release at midnight, November 25th (this includes PREORDERED COPIES).
I am not sure how this happened, but the original version of the Kindle file contains two Chapter 18’s and NO Chapter 19. This has been corrected and Amazon has promised me that you will all receive a notice and have a chance to update your file.

HOWEVER, they have said this process could take up to FOUR weeks (though it could happen as soon as 5 days). I’m not going to talk about my level of frustration over this, I am simply going to tell you that if you want to read the correct version before then, you’ll need to contact Kindle support (through chat is the fastest) and tell them you want the updated file pushed to your device. People have tried this with great success!

I am very sorry for the inconvenience this has caused, but please know that I have spent every hour of the past two days trying to get it correct as quickly as possible.

Snuggle Up Over Break With…

It’s that time of year again–the time when we light fires, shiver so hard out bones rattle when we go outside, gather with our families, and YES, take a few days off from the daily grind of work or school or both.

Do you know what that leaves time for? READING!

Now, I’ve had TWO new releases over the past couple of weeks, so OBVIOUSLY you should pick those up! The first one, Mistletoe & Mr. Right, is a sweet, slightly cheesy novella (that means it’s short!) that would be at home on the Hallmark channel. Its the perfect way to ease into the Christmas season that doesn’t involve getting trampled at the mall on Friday!

The second one is Living the Dream, which is the conclusion to my Whitman University series and features bad boy Sebastian Blair meeting his match in good girl Audra Stuart. The cast from previous books make some pretty awesome cameos along the way, too!

If you’ve already read those or (gasp!) they don’t sound good to you, here are a few OTHER titles you may have missed this year that I’d like to bring to your attention – because they’re amazing!!

We Are Not Good People, by Jeff Somers

20019064

The ethics in a world of blood are gray—and an underground strata of blood magicians has been engineering disasters for centuries in order to acquire enough fuel for their spells. They are not good people.

Some practitioners, however, use the Words and a swipe of the blade to cast simpler spells, such as Charms and Cantrips to gas up $1 bills so they appear to be $20s. Lem Vonnegan and his sidekick Mags fall into this level of mage, hustlers and con men all. Lem tries to be ethical by using only his own blood, by not using Bleeders or “volunteers.” But it makes life hard. Soon they might have to get honest work.

When the pair encounters a girl who’s been kidnapped and marked up with magic runes for a ritual spell, it’s clear they’re in over their heads. Turning to Lem’s estranged master for help, they are told that not only is the girl’s life all but forfeit, but that the world’s preeminent mage, Mika Renar, has earth-shattering plans for her—and Lem just got in the way. With the fate of the world on the line, and Lem both spooked and intrigued by the mysterious girl, the other nominates him to become the huckleberry who’ll take down Renar. But even if he, Mags, and the simpletons who follow him prevail, they’re dealing with the kind of power that doesn’t understand defeat, or mercy.

Sweet Unrest, by Lisa Maxwell

18402202

Lucy Aimes has always been practical. But try as she might, she can’t come up with a logical explanation for the recurring dreams that have always haunted her. Dark dreams. Dreams of a long-ago place filled with people she shouldn’t know…but does.

When her family moves to a New Orleans plantation, Lucy’s dreams become more intense, and her search for answers draws her reluctantly into the old city’s world of Voodoo and mysticism. There, Lucy finds Alex, a mysterious boy who behaves as if they’ve known each other forever. Lucy knows Alex is hiding something, and her rational side doesn’t want to be drawn to him. But she is.

As she tries to uncover Alex’s secrets, a killer strikes close to home, and Lucy finds herself ensnared in a century-old vendetta. With the lives of everyone she loves in danger, Lucy will have to unravel the mystery of her dreams before it all comes to a deadly finish.

The Witch of Little Italy, by Suzanne Palmieri

13548909

In Suzanne Palmieri’s charming debut, The Witch of Little Italy, you will be bewitched by the Amore women. When young Eleanor Amore finds herself pregnant, she returns home to her estranged family in the Bronx, called by “The Sight” they share now growing strong within her. She has only been back once before when she was ten years old during a wonder-filled summer of sun-drenched beaches, laughter and cartwheels. But everyone remembers that summer except her. Eleanor can’t remember anything from before she left the house on her last day there. With her past now coming back to her in flashes, she becomes obsessed with recapturing those memories. Aided by her childhood sweetheart, she learns the secrets still haunting her magical family, secrets buried so deep they no longer know how they began. And, in the process, unlocks a mystery over fifty years old—The Day the Amores Died—and reveals, once and for all, a truth that will either heal or shatter the Amore clan.

Evalyn Ibarra never expected to be an accused killer and experimental prison test subject. A year ago, she was a normal college student. Now she’s been sentenced to a month in the compass room—an advanced prison obstacle course designed by the government to execute justice.

If she survives, the world will know she’s innocent.

Locked up with nine notorious and potentially psychotic criminals, Evalyn must fight the prison and dismantle her past to stay alive. But the system prized for accuracy appears to be killing at random.

She doesn’t plan on making friends.

She doesn’t plan on falling in love, either.

First World Problems, by Leigh Ann Kopans

Sofia Cole has always been able to get anything she wants through begging, flirting, and shameless manipulation of everyone around her.

Sofia just might be proven wrong.

Hook’s Revenge, by Heidi Schulz

20454626

Twelve-year-old Jocelyn dreams of becoming every bit as daring as her infamous father, Captain James Hook. Her grandfather, on the other hand, intends to see her starched and pressed into a fine society lady. When she’s sent to Miss Eliza Crumb-Biddlecomb’s Finishing School for Young Ladies, Jocelyn’s hopes of following in her father’s fearsome footsteps are lost in a heap of dance lessons, white gloves, and way too much pink.

So when Jocelyn receives a letter from her father challenging her to avenge his untimely demise at the jaws of the Neverland crocodile, she doesn’t hesitate-here at last is the adventure she has been waiting for. But Jocelyn finds that being a pirate is a bit more difficult than she’d bargained for. As if attempting to defeat the Neverland’s most fearsome beast isn’t enough to deal with, she’s tasked with captaining a crew of woefully untrained pirates, outwitting cannibals wild for English cuisine, and rescuing her best friend from a certain pack of lost children, not to mention that pesky Peter Pan who keeps barging in uninvited.

The crocodile’s clock is always ticking in Heidi Schulz’s debut novel, a story told by an irascible narrator who is both dazzlingly witty and sharp as a sword. Will Jocelyn find the courage to beat the incessant monster before time runs out?

In a Fix, by Linda Grimes

11996192

Snagging a marriage proposal for her client while on an all-expenses-paid vacation should be a simple job for Ciel Halligan, aura adaptor extraordinaire. A kind of human chameleon, she’s able to take on her clients’ appearances and slip seamlessly into their lives, solving any sticky problems they don’t want to deal with themselves. No fuss, no muss. Big paycheck.

This particular assignment is pretty enjoyable… that is, until Ciel’s island resort bungalow is blown to smithereens and her client’s about-to-be-fiancé is snatched by modern-day Vikings. For some reason, Ciel begins to suspect that getting the ring is going to be a tad more difficult than originally anticipated.

Going from romance to rescue requires some serious gear-shifting, as well as a little backup. Her best friend, Billy, and Mark, the CIA agent she’s been crushing on for years—both skilled adaptors—step in to help, but their priority is, annoyingly, keeping her safe. Before long, Ciel is dedicating more energy to escaping their watchful eyes than she is to saving her client’s intended.

Suddenly, facing down a horde of Vikings feels like the least of her problems.

Goodness and Light, by Patty Blount

Pageflex Persona [document: PRS0000032_00050]

Thirteen years ago, two teens met on the ramp to Ground Zero, on a cold and snowy day, strangers bonding in a moment of grief. The boy pressed a crystal snowflake ornament into the girl’s hand and disappeared into the crowd, unaware that his simple act of kindness saved her from the guilt that threatened to consume her.

Since losing her mom, Elena Larsen hasn’t set foot in New York City — until now. Agreeing to help her sister prepare for her baby’s birth seems like a good way to spend Christmas and Elena vows not to let the monstrous guilt that weighs on her heart ruin everything. But those plans go awry when she meets Lucas Adair, a man whose own grief and guilt just might rival her own.

When Elena discovers Lucas is the boy who gave her that crystal snowflake all those years ago, she can’t accept it as the sign Lucas believes it to be. For her, it means only one thing — even beyond the grave, her mother can never forgive Elena for breaking her heart.

For Lucas, New York is hallowed ground that he can never leave. He spends his days working in the Financial District and his evenings volunteering and it’s almost enough to help him forget what he did. Lucas knows better than to make plans with a woman who will soon be leaving, yet can’t help himself. There’s something about Elena that pulls him in. He doesn’t put much faith in signs but even he starts to believe Elena is his absolution. Now, he only has to convince her.

BONUS: Wuthering Heights, by Emily Bronte (my yearly winter re-read)

KindleNookiBooksKobo

 

MISTLETOE AND MR. RIGHT COVER REVEAL!!

It’s time for one of my favorite things in the writing process, y’all – a cover reveal! For those of you who haven’t heard, Bloomsbury Spark is publishing my Christmas novella set in Ireland in less than a month!

Here’s the description:

Twas the night before Christmas and all through the house, not a creature was stirring…but lust refused to settle in for a long winter’s nap.
She might be all nestled, snug in her bed, by why, oh why, do visions of the wrong guy dance in her head?


Jessica, (not Jessie), figures that nothing could be better than a trip to the Emerald Isle for Christmas break. So she takes a flying leap and follows her boyfriend home for the holidays, not only sure that he will finally agree they’re destined for each other, but also that Ireland will provide the perfect backdrop to the beginning of their happily-ever-after. 

But it turns out his family–and his gorgeous ex-girlfriend–don’t feel the same way, and even the family goat seems to be conspiring against her well-laid plans. The only person making the trip worthwhile is the very last one she should be thinking about, but Grady, the local farmhand, has a way of showing up when Jessica needs him most…and least.

USA Today bestselling author Lyla Payne wraps up the perfect holiday novella, ties it with a ribbon of romance, and tops it with a light dusting of snow. Perfect to curl up with under the tree. Just add hot cocoa!
