Hi Everyone

This is a short post today.

1) Was hoping to give you a sneak peek of the new cover but don’t have it as yet.

2) Will be sending a NL Monday as I’m taking part in an mpreg freebie promo. Will also post on FB and twitter.

3) Chose my last pig pic for the Idriador Chronicles bundle out this coming week. OMG so many of those pigs have wet noses especially when you download the pic and see it magnified. Ewww! Haha

4) Ignore me if I moan about pig pics in future. Trying to find the dice pic I wanted for the new book took me hours! One tiny pic and I thought I’d go mad. It has to be the right number and colour and couldn’t show any other numbers!!!!!!

There are five pics on the new cover and I sourced four of them. I really admire designers who spend their time searching for suitable pics.

Here’s a snippet from my work-in-progress.

***

The crowds surged around a pair of middle-aged tourists arguing and gesturing at a map on their phone while the man stabbed a finger at the screen. Theo hesitated before approaching them. “Hi. May I help? What are you headed?”
The woman flashed a smile but as she caught his scent, it faded, and her eyes darted to her husband. Digging his nails into his palm, Theo stepped around them, but the woman grabbed his arm and gushed, “Thank you. We’re supposed to meet friends at an Indian restaurant.”
As the alpha leaned over the phone and pointed out how to reach their destination, the man put an arm round his wife’s waist and pulled her closer.
“Go around the corner and it’s on your left. Walk up the set of narrow stairs and it’s on the first floor, though you’d probably call it the second. I’ve eaten there and the food’s really good.”
“You’re American?”
“Mmmm.”
“Do you live here?”
“Uh huh.” Theo glanced at his watch. “Enjoy your dinner.” Shoving his hands in his pocket, the alpha strode off.

Not a shocker I know, but I seem to have messed up the linky thing this week. So here is the link to Jena Wade’s post.

Firstly, a little plug for The Alpha’s Vow which is free until late on Sept 25.

And here’s the cover for the Lord Cuthbert ‘Cuddy’ Trenton Halloween freebie short story. This is the fourth Cuddy story and the final two will be at Harvest Festival (Thanksgiving) and Christmas.

A couple of weeks ago I was trying to come up with a title for the pre-made historical cover I had bought. I suggested The Alpha Highwayman but thought it was boring.

Take no notice of anything I say. Haha.

I came up with many different names, but none were as simple or as explicit as The Alpha Highwayman.

So, that is what is has become.

Last week I gave you a hint as to the location of my next book. This is what I said.

And now here’s the second hint.

Okay, enough about covers. Here are the first two paragraphs of my work-in-progress.

Theo pulled up his hoodie and hunched his shoulders as rain spattered between the garish neon signs onto his head. Cold splotches of water, from dripping air-conditioners in the apartments above street level, hit his already-drenched hair and trickled down his back. It’s summer, and I’m freezing.
Despite the crappy weather, the sidewalk was crowded with people, and their plastic shopping bags whacked the alpha as he shoved between the throngs and dodged the spikes of wet umbrellas. Groups of teens headed into one of the few remaining gaming arcades in the city, while multi-generational families spilled out of restaurants, doggy bags of leftovers clutched in their hands.

 



The Alpha’s Vow. An Alpha/Omega Mpreg. Free Until Sept 25.

What happens when you’re thrown together and there’s no escape?

Seb is a wealthy alpha who pursued his passion for working the land despite his family’s objections. Covered in tattoos, he favors short-term relationships over anything permanent.

But when Max, a Shakespeare-quoting backpacker, meets Seb in less than desirable circumstances, a misunderstanding has the omega accepting an offer that sends him hurtling in a new direction.

And then there’s Trixie, a tiny, pink piglet who has the run of Seb’s home and has captured his heart. She adores apples, riding on the alpha’s motorbike and plenty of snuggles. And it’s love at first sight when she meets Max.

Set against the backdrop of an unspoiled landscape and a lake that’s both serene and treacherous, Seb and Max’s relationship blossoms until a storm disrupts not only the surroundings, but also their future.

This is a 28,000-word, non-shifter, omegaverse novella, and it’s the first book in the Idriador series.

The Alpha's Vow

The Alpha’s Bond. An Alpha/Omega Mpreg. Out now! In Kindle Unlimited

What happens when your world is turned upside down?

Seb juggles his newborn daughter, a pet piglet, and insomnia while searching for his missing mate. And despite the risks, he heads for Max’s childhood home.

As the alpha learns more about the omega’s former life from those who know him best, he can’t piece the puzzle together. But luck, bravado and ingenuity bring the mated pair face-to-face, and they celebrate their reunion with their daughter and extended family.

Foes become frenemies, though Seb’s inflated alpha ego almost destroys what he strives to protect.

Trixie relishes her role as big sister to Isla, but as the piglet grows up, the omega has trouble letting go of his first ‘baby’.

No one is who Max thinks they are as his father hides behind a mask and pulls the strings.

This is a 30,000-word, non-shifter, omegaverse novella, and it’s the third and final book in the Idriador series.

The Alpha's Bond

Sexy Saturday Oh My Mpreg Bloghop #ohmympreg September 1


Last time I promised I’d include an audio file of me reading the sibling rivalry scene from The Alpha’s Word. Once again, I have to apologize. I’ve been overwhelmed this week, so in a few days when I have time off, I’ll put it up.

New Book Cover

This is the new cover for the third and final book in the Idriador Chronicles, The Omega’s Bond.

The book will be out this coming week.

Here’s a snippet from a scene with Seb and the ever-delightful Adam. The alpha first met Seb and Max in jail in The Alpha’s Vow and also turned up at the farm along with Max’s father at the end of that book.

***

“Look what the cat dragged in.”
Trixie peeked from between Seb’s legs as Adam strode from his car to the porch. The visitor was unshaven, and there were dark shadows under his eyes. His fingers trembled as they clutched a key ring, but he shoved his hand in his pocket when the keys jingled.
“It’s déjà vu.”
“Nah.” The older alpha winked at the piglet. “Hello, pork belly.”
Trixie squeaked and took off inside and as Adam laughed, drool slid over his lips and he clamped his jaw on a wad of chewing gum.
I’ve never felt sorry for gum before. My condolences.
Adam placed a foot on the first step and the tight jeans emphasized his crotch.
Oh, God. It’s a delivery boy with a very small package. Hide that thing.

Newsletter

I’ll be sending a NL today and again when the new book is live at Amazon.

Labor Day Weekend

Whether you celebrate Labor Day on Monday or not, hopefully you’ll have some time off over the next few days.

I’ll be doing what I loathe most: text-to-speech. I’ve completed the shorter chapters but still have a lot to do, and for those of you who are part of my FB group, you know how much I hate this final part of the writing process.

I always need wine, but I can’t drink or I won’t be able to concentrate!!!!!

The Alpha’s Bond

I’d hoped to have the cover for this–or at least give you a peek–by now. It’s my fault because I haven’t decided what I want. I had chosen the pics, but the following day, I made a huge swerve in what I was writing and the book went in a different direction. I think I know where I’m going now and should be able to give instructions to the designer.

The problem is finding a suitable pic for Trixie! That piglet is always giving me grief!

Sorry, Trixie. I love you–really I do!

A snippet from The Alpha’s Bond

As usual, I’ve only skimmed over this, so please forgive any missing commas etc (commas are the bane of my existence).

Seb placed the piglet’s duffle bag on the scales. He crossed his fingers hoping she wasn’t too heavy.
“Wow! What do you feed her? She’s a big girl.”
The alpha fixed a fake smile on his face. “Yeah, she’s a little piggy.” Don’t say anything, Trixie. But instead of the pig complaining, Isla kicked her feet and sucked on Seb’s shirt.
The beta crinkled her nose. “I’d better let you go before your daughter’s sick again.” She stamped the pet passport without checking it. “Have a pleasant flight.”
Seb raced through the airport and took his seat next to the window in the third row. He tucked Trixie’s bag under the seat in front and slipped her some apple. “Go to sleep,” he whispered.
After the plane reached cruising altitude, and Isla snoozed, the alpha sipped a beer. We made it. But the alcohol combined with his lack of sleep, pressure at coping with a newborn, manhandling Trixie in public places, plus the strain of his mate being abducted left Seb feeling woozy. Perhaps the beer wasn’t a good idea.
The alpha pinched his nose and stared out the window. He’d never been to Idriador’s east coast though he’d seen many photos, and Max had waxed lyrical about its fierce beauty. But Seb wasn’t interested in the region’s rugged coastline and idyllic scenery.

A New Series

I had an idea for a new series, and I have the first scene written in my head. Once The Alpha’s Bond is published, I’ll give you a few hints. I’ve already found the pics for the cover.

 

See you next week!

Listen to me chatting about the following topics.

  1. Mail going into spam folders
  2. Cliffhangers
  3. Pronunciation of a name in The Alpha’s Word

 

This second audio clip is me reading the bar scene from The Alpha’s Vow. Trixie and Seb visit Max, and the alpha tries to impress his estranged mate.

 

The following quote from Maya Angelou describes Seb’s love for Max, particularly in the third and final book of the Idriador Chronicles.

Here’s the first sentence from the new book (it doesn’t have a title yet).

I hope I can brazen my way through this.

Yes, I’ve written much more than one sentence, but that’s all I’m sharing for the moment. The first scene involves Seb, Isla and Trixie getting on a plane (or trying to), and the very last scene is all Trixie!
