Book Scout
Do you like to read romances with the heat setting a little lower? With sex that takes place off the page? Where the story focuses more on romance and less on sex? Sometimes those are hard to find. So, voila! Book Scout to the rescue.
What is Book Scout? It’s a website and a newsletter that features romance novels that have a lower heat rating. It is just now getting off the ground. Here is what one of their FAQ says:
What’s up with Book Scout? Do you guys have something against sex?
Nope! Some of our best friends write sex.
The truth is that books with lower heat levels have fewer marketing opportunities and less buzz. We wanted to create a place where those books got to be the focus without creating a community that was anti-sex or pro-any-religious background.
Book Scout is first and foremost about finding more good books.
If you enjoy reading books like this, why not hop over to their website and check them out? Sign up for their newsletter. It’s free and you can always drop it anytime.

A Most Wanted Wolf by Sela Carson
Sela Carson has a new book out!
I think I’ve read everything she’s written. I like her characters, I like her humor, I like her stories. If you enjoy reading about hot men, kick butt women, werewolves, aliens and spies, I think you’ll like this series.
A MOST WANTED WOLF (Wolves of Fenrir)
A spy and a werewolf walk into a firefight… Whose A** do they kick?
Andrew Wyatt thinks all he has to do is bring a scientist back into the fold. He doesn’t count on a sizzling hot alien wolf shifter getting in his way, and getting under his skin.
The last thing Ule tärEinar needs is a tall blond spy interfering with her life. She may not trust Andrew, but that doesn’t stop the sparks from flying around them.
The trust is hard won, and they’ll need each other to survive an invasion that could draw their two allied cultures into a war neither can afford.

Tuesday Truth 9/1/15: Enter To Win an Amazon Gift Card!
Tomorrow there will be a teaser from Kit’s Point of View. But for today, I think it’s time I settled on a title for Kit and Olivia. I am not a graphic artist, and just trying to make a cover brings me to tears of frustration. But I’ve slapped together 3 mock ups of a cover for this story, with the three titles. These are only mock ups and I’ll fine tune whichever one we settle on. This will be a freebie available through Wattpad and here on my website. I want it to be as good as it can be, but I am really just an amateur. I don’t want to spend money for a freebie because I’m cheap like that 🙂
Anyway, leave a comment below to vote for which cover is your favorite and why, and on Friday September 4th I will draw a name to win a $10.00 Amazon gift card. The drawing will be at 6:00pm central daylight time and I will email the winner to let them know they have $10 (or the equivalent thereof in the currency of their country) to spend. Labor Day weekend + book money = Happy Reader!
Oh, and just so you know, if none of these titles and/or covers appeals to you, feel free to nominate something else.
Good Luck!

FREE! Wolf’s Oath Is Free During August!
AFTER THE CRASH
When a plane crashes fifty years in the future, the survivors learn:
1. Nuclear war destroyed the world they knew.
2. Plague has reduced the female population to a pitiful few and every woman is worth her weight in gold.
3. Werewolves are more than mere legend and they want mates.
Wolf’s Oath Is FREE through August at most online etailers!
You know, I really like Connie. She was the co-pilot of the plane that jumped forward in time and crashed in 2064. She was a Marine fighter pilot in Iraq, so she’s a strong, take-charge type of woman who can handle herself in any situation. She’ll make hard choices that will benefit the survivors she believes are her responsibility, even if it’s not what she wants. And she’s not sure she wants to tie herself to this grim-faced wolf. Yeah, Des is hot, but he’s all about protecting her and she’s used to carrying her own weight.
Although this story takes place in the middle of the series, I think you can pick it up without reading the previous books. And it’s free, so why not give it a try?

Wolf’s Princess Is Out!
I am so excited to announce that Wolf’s Princess is available now!
Wolf’s Princess
Rose Turner was only sixteen years old when she was flung fifty years into a post-apocalyptic future and claimed by a teenage wolf shifter. When she refused his claim, Sky Wolfe left the den and moved to Omaha, intending to return when she turned eighteen to renew his courtship. Now, eight years later, in the final installment of the After the Crash series, Rose is an old maid with a pack of wolf shifters guarding her from other men. She wants a husband and children, and since Sky has ignored her all these years she decides to find a man to love on her own.
Sky has been busy in Omaha, where women are commodities, working to change the laws that oppress them. Victory is at his fingertips when he receives word his mate is husband shopping. Can he free Omaha’s women and woo his mate? Or will he have to choose between them? Read the breathtaking conclusion to this series, in which a group of plane crash survivors learn to live in a future that is nothing like their past.

UPDATES!
I sent Wolf’s Princess to the publisher around 10:00pm on Monday, and I received an offer for a contract less than 24 hours later!
Sky and Rose and I have been on this journey together for a while now, and a lot of you have been along for the ride too. Thank you! This one took me a lot longer to write than I expected. Not because it was hard, really, but more because what I thought would be about 75-80,000 words grew into 120,500 words. For comparison purposes, Wolf’s Glory, Wolf Tracker, and Ellie’s Wolf are all around 72,000-75,000 words. Of course, during the editing that number could change. One of the reasons it is so long is because there are a few other story lines mixing in with Sky and Rose. For instance, Stone and Sara work out their differences to find their happy ever after, and there are some other wolves who find women to love.
I don’t have a release date yet. Generally, it is 4 to 6 months after the contract is signed. That could change, of course, depending on whether the publisher’s release schedule has an earlier opening, or if editing takes longer than expected. I will post when I have a date.
You’ve all been so patient. To thank you, I’ll be running a contest through my newsletter. I will be giving away ARCs of Wolf’s Princess, copies of my other books (ebooks, paperbacks, and audio), and I will be giving away a Kindle. That won’t be happening until June. More details will be forthcoming.
Tomorrow I am having surgery, so I’ll be out of the loop for a few days. It’s not major surgery, and the recovery time is pretty short. I should be back to work in 7-10 days, and probably will be able to hop on the internet for a few minutes here and there as soon as Friday night. So if you’d take a minute to think good thoughts for me I would appreciate it! Surgery makes me a little nervous. 😉 I’ll just have to pretend Taye is holding my hand. He’s better than a teddy bear!
Happy Reading!
