I cannot believe that 2013 is nearly over!  The year has just flown by.

I kicked off 2013 with Seducing Samantha, the first of the Ashland Pride series.   Then Melo’s story (A Twitch of Tail, #6 in the Wiccan Were Bear series), Logan & Jenna (Wolf’s Mate #6), Every Dawn Forever (Hyena Heat #2), Loving Lachlyn (Ashland Pride #2), A Promise on White Wings (Jes’ story in the WWB series, #7), and the first of my new Wilde Creek series, Mate of Her Heart.

2013 has been truly wild.  The emails, FB messages and posts,  and blog comments have meant the world to me.  I can’t thank you all enough for making 2013 so successful.  I’m excited for what 2014 has in store.

In 2014, my writing plans include the following books:

• Marking Melody (Ashland Pride #3)
• The Alpha’s Heart (Wilde Creek #2)
• The Wolf’s Mate #7
• Every Sunset Forever (Hyena Heat #3)

I also hope to continue on in other series including books in the Wiccan-Were-Bear, Ashland Pride, Necklace Chronicles, and Wilde Creek series.

I’m ready for 2014 to start and looking forward to sharing it with my friends and fans.  To celebrate the coming year, I’m revealing the cover and description for Marking Melody, Ashland Pride Three, which will be available for purchase on January 20th.  The cover was done by the fabulous and always amazing Valerie Tibbs at Tibbs Design.  She’s done fab covers for some amazing authors; I’m really honored to have had the chance to work with her again (she also did my website this summer, woo!).

Stay tuned to the blog and my facebook page for pre-order details for Melody’s book when it’s available.  I wish all of you much love and happiness in the coming year.  XOXO, RE

Marking Melody (Ashland Pride Three) by RE Butler (Release Date: 1/20/14)

All were-mountain-lion Melody Marx ever wanted was to find her mate and start a family.  After being rescued from her own people by two mountain lions, she knows that she’s found not just one mate, but two.  She goes with them to their old home in Pennsylvania, but finds an even chillier reception than she found in Ashland.

Tristan and Micah Harrison would do anything to keep Melody safe, even if it means walking away from the Ashland Pride and their own family forever.  When problems arise in their hometown of King, Pennsylvania, it turns out that the males aren’t the only ones who don’t approve of their mating.

Be prepared for two males with plans to hold onto their mate forever, a female searching for a place to call home, and an enemy who is always looking for new ways to wreak havoc in the males’ lives.  This book contains sweet males, a feisty female, and m/f/m loving.

Christmas really snuck up on me this year!  I feel like I just got the Thanksgiving dishes put away and now I’m getting out the Christmas plates.

I’m fortunate to have extended family close by so we can celebrate Christmas Day together.  Christmas Eve, though, is just for our small family, when we exchange gifts and then watch my all-time favorite holiday movie, A Christmas Story.  There’s really nothing I like more than snuggling on the couch with my kiddos and hubby, a roaring fire in the fireplace, hot chocolate (with extra marshmallows) in hand, and the dogs nearby enjoying their new toys, while the movie plays.

This morning, my five-year old eyed the gifts under the tree and asked, “When can we open gifts?”

“After dinner,” I replied.

“Oh.  Can we eat dinner now?”

I have to admit to laughing.  And then saying, “No.”  Of course that didn’t stop him from asking me if we could eat dinner many more times throughout the day, and also speculating about just what gifts are in the packages with the special Spiderman wrapping paper.  Even as I write this, he’s asked me if we can eat dinner two more times.  To which I’ve replied…”soon!”.

To all of my fans and friends here and abroad, I wish you much joy and peace this holiday season.  Merry Christmas!  XOXO, RE

Mate of Her Heart (Wilde Creek One)

Werewolf Eveny Moore is coming into her first heat at the age of twenty-five. Bucking tradition, she chooses to go through her first heat alone instead of choosing an unmated male from her pack. There is only one male that she wants in her bed and her life: her best friend, Luke Elrich. But Luke is human and doesn’t understand the consequences of her heat-cycle, so she hides out in a safehouse, planning to ride out the cycle alone and then ask Luke to be her mate.

Luke has loved Eveny forever, but something is going on between them. He’s afraid he’s losing her forever, until she promises to talk to him after her heat-cycle is over. He overhears her brother, the pack alpha, ask another wolf to go to Eveny and take her through the heat-cycle. What her brother doesn’t know is that the male plans to invite some of his friends along. And Eveny is alone in a remote cabin, unprotected. Luke will do anything to keep her safe, even if it means going up against four wolves.

This story contains a meddling brother, a human fighting a pack of male wolves for the only woman he’s ever loved, a female who thought she had a good plan, and bone-melting, skin-tingling hot sex between a male and a female who have loved each other forever.
