Wouldn’t you know it? It seems that most of my Irish and/or St Patrick’s Day themed stories are currently unavailable as yet another of my publishers gets ready to go out of business. Luckily, however, we still have the Walsh Clan cousins at the Wild Geese Inn–although these stories will be going away too, at […]
January 1, 2001 Julie pulled the string on another party popper. Confetti shot across the living room, accompanied by a faint smell of gunpowder. Marc sighed wearily. “C’mon, Jules. Don’t you think that’s enough now?” “It’s New Year’s Eve,” Julie replied, stubbornly setting off another one. Tangled strings of paper floated lightly to earth, and […]
December 31, 1999 New Year’s Eve Damian leaned against the railing of the second-floor balcony and cast a jaded eye over the crowded ballroom below. The decorations were a tad overdone, in his opinion. Gaudy gold-and-silver Mylar festooned every surface—the bar, the tables, even the walls. The glare all but blinded him. Overhead, a billowing […]
New Year’s Eve, 1981 Try as he might, Conrad could not decide which aspect of tonight’s event was the most aggravating. The lights had been an early contender. They glared blindingly at him from nearly every wall, every surface, every fixture in his house, making him yearn for the past, for those halcyon centuries long […]
I’m not giving them away (although there is a free read related to the series on my blog: http://rhymeswithforeplay.blogspot.com/p/free-reads.html) but two of the books in my Children of Night series are heavily NYE-centric. Now Comes the Night (book three in the series) opens with a flashback to NYE 1969 and also contains a flashback to […]
My second temporary free read is Inked Memories–which also occurs over the Christmas/New Year’s holiday week. Not that my characters paid the holiday much attention, being as they were otherwise occupied. 😉 Head on over to Instafreebie and grab it quick (this giveaway ends January 8). https://www.instafreebie.com/free/eE2l7 Blurb: All Sophie wants is a tattoo […]
Are you ready for a GREAT 2018? I so am. And to get things started right, I’ve got a couple of freebies for you. The first is my story Sea Change, which is a sequel novella to my Oberon series. You can find it on Instafreebie between now and midnight on January 8. https://www.instafreebie.com/free/Ky3Dd Love is […]
Blurb: Nineteenth century Ireland. Blacksmith Gavin O’Malley is a bitter man, with a heart as hard as the iron he forges. He wants his life back—the one that was stolen from him the day his wife died in childbirth—taking their firstborn son with her. When Aislinn Deirbhile, an immortal, shape-shifting fae, arrives on his doorstep, […]
Here’s a snippet from the third book in the Children of Night series, Now Comes the Night. In this scene, vampire Julie hangs out with her human lover and his son. Blurb: You can choose your lover…if only you could choose your family. Twins Julie and Marc Fischer have always been taught one fact: You […]
One of my favorite Christmas cookie scenes can be found in the first book of my Children of Night vampire series, In the Dark… Blurb: When you live forever, a few mistakes are bound to happen. Vampire Conrad Quintano has been around for centuries — long enough to know falling for a human is a […]
