You Can Play

I’m deep into writing hockey romance #2 for Carina Press. Part of the plot of this book came about from a video I watched months ago. It features two of the Los Angeles Kings, Alec Martinez and the captain, Dustin Brown. They wanted to record a message that showed they support people who want to play the sport of hockey, regardless of their sexual orientation. I really liked and respected that they alone out of the entire Kings organization took the time to make a short (albeit stiff) video. It stuck with me until the time came to plot my second hockey book. 

The You Can Play project strives to “promote respect for all athletes,” a worthy goal, and one I hope will resonate in the book.

Save the Date!

I have received the release date for the Untitled Hockey Romance! 

April 21, 2015

I’m so thrilled and excited. This is to coincide with Carina Sports Week. It’s also just in time for the NHL playoffs. (Go, Kings, go!)

I am still waiting to hear on what the editorial team at Carina has chosen for a title. I submitted a long list of possibilities for both the first hockey romance and the rest of the series. 

Out of that list, my personal favorites for this first hockey book are:

A KISS FOR LUCK
THE TROUBLE WITH FANS
WHEN ERIN MET TIM

I can’t wait to hear what they pick.

A New Print Release!

Today is a wonderful day.

The Be-Wished series, five years in the making, consists of four books: All In, A Wolf at Her Door, Once Upon a Kiss, and Just Winging It. The first two stories were published in their own print anthology last year called Wolf Wishes. 

Now, the second volume, Midnight Wishes has been published in print!

I hadn’t seen the cover until today, but I love it. As an author who has most of her stories sold digitally, it’s exciting and special when you see your work in print. One of these days, I’ll do a book signing. Maybe at the Romance Writers of America Conference or the Romantic Times convention next year.

Until then, I’m just thrilled to have these books available.
