In November, I will celebrate the two-year anniversary of the publication of my first book, A Curve of Claw.  Now, as I get ready to publish the seventh book in the series, I’m really amazed at how far I’ve come!  This book will be my nineteenth publication and bring me one book closer to finishing the series.  I will be sad to see the series come to an end, but also really glad to be able to continue to move on and focus on other things.  Jes’ book is one that I’ve been waiting for.  The dark-haired, bad-attitude falcon prince deserved to find happiness, and I’m glad that I was finally able to get his story finished.  Still to come in the series – Brone, Mishka, Adam, Tosh, a 2nd story for Daeton, and Elizabeth’s twin sons Teck & Shy.

This book, like all the other WWB books, will be 99 cents.

The official publication date is Friday, October 11.  It is available for PRE-SALE on Kobo and B&N ONLY.  It will be available for sale on the publication date on Smashwords and Amazon (as well as B&N and Kobo), and will follow on Apple, Diesel, and others a little later on.  I do wish it was available for pre-order on Amazon, but I don’t have the ability to do that as a self-pubbed author.

 A Promise on White Wings (Wiccan-Were-Bear #7)

Taken in by a bear den as a child, Danika doesn’t know what she is, only that she’s all alone in the world.  A visit to a bear den in Northern Ohio brings her face to face with her future in the form of two males who are meant to be her mates.  She discovers that she’s not only the destined mate of the falcon Prince Jesuit and the white lion Prince Chance, but also the answer to a prophecy about a white-winged woman.  When a bear from her den makes a claim to her, her mates must fight for their right to her and to their future.

Warning:  Be prepared for a bear with a bad attitude trying to claim Danika for his own, two princes willing to die for their mate, and the woman who brings them and their people together.  Contains m/f/m interaction.

Love the cover?  The sublimely talented Ramona at Romance Cover Designs handled it for me, and I love it.  She’s the perfect Danika!  I used a new editor this time around – Chelle at Literally Addicted to Detail – and she was fab!  She beta-read and I’m looking forward to working with her again in the future.  I also managed to snag a coveted spot with the awesome Amanda Pederick, who beta-read and edited.  And I wouldn’t be anywhere without the editing savvy of Jennifer Moorman, who lent her talents and time to me.  It goes without saying that I love my fans and the friends I’ve made since I started publishing.  Thank you for your amazing support.  I’m constantly humbled.  Until next time…XOXO, RE

Loving Lachlyn (Ashland Pride Two)

For many years, mountain lion Alek Fallon believed he was fated to be alone forever. But after meeting Lachlyn, he knows that he’s found his mate in the sweet she-bear and opens his home to her and her second mate, were-bear Jericho. Lachlyn is a shifting dud and cannot transform into her bear self. When Jericho’s father tries to force her into her bear form using a cattle prod, she nearly dies. Jericho’s father swears to find them, and now Alek, Jericho, and the lion pride are working together to keep everyone safe. When the mountain lions’ enemy interferes, it’s not only Lachlyn’s life that is on the line, but all of theirs. This book contains plenty of m/f/m loving, two men who will love their woman to the best of their ability, interfering female lions who don’t know when to give up, and a camper used as a honeymoon suite. Be prepared for growling, neck biting, ceremonial marking, and a lot of sweethearted male mountain lions who just want to find love.

The book wouldn’t be a success without the help of a TON of really amazing people.  I’d like to thank Jennifer Moorman for editing the book.  She’s been along for the ride for almost a year, and I adore working with her.  The fantastic cover, along with advertisements for the pre-orders, were all done by the always-amazing Ramona Lockwood of Romance Book Cover Designs.  This might have been one of the most difficult covers that we ever embarked on, but it’s gorgeous and perfect.  My faithful betas Jacq H. and Jackie G. were awesome as always.  And I added a new beta in the form of a sassy Aussie named Amanda Pederick, who helped me more than I could ever really say.  And Carla of Book Monster Promotions answered the call when I needed help promoting the book…thank you so much for everything!

A special thanks to my Shifter Babes Street Team for their support throughout this month, especially to Michelle and Carla for their admin skills.  *hugs*  (If you’re not part of the team yet, click HERE to Join!)

Loving Lachlyn (Ashland Pride 2) will be published on August 27th, 2013.  A week!  I can’t believe how fast the time has gone.

News first…So what’s on the horizon for the remainder of 2013?

• Two more books will be published after Lachlyn’s story, including the 7th Wiccan-Were-Bear book and the first of a new werewolf series.  Who gets the 7th Wiccan-Were-Bear book?  Falcon Prince Jesuit!  The jilted, sword-wielding falcon-shifter prince finally gets his shot at happiness in his book, which I anticipate being out in October.
• The new werewolf series is slated for only two books at the moment, but is a twist from what I normally do for wolves, packs, and the humans they interact with.  I will be sharing more details later on in the year, including the series, title, and kicking cover!  The book should be out in December.
• Are you following Logan’s book on its blog tour?  It’s only half over!  There’s still plenty of time to win a digital copy of Logan’s book and a number of other awesome prizes including gift cards.  You can find the blog tour schedule HERE.

Excerpt…

When I first wrote Alek’s character in Callie & The Cats, I wasn’t that crazy about him.  But when I wrote Seducing Samantha and got to know his character a little better…to see below the façade of disinterest and anger…I knew he deserved to find his HEA.  Alek’s book brings the bear den from both Callie and Samantha’s books into play again, but this time it’s with a twist.  As promised, here is a never-before-seen excerpt from the book, an introduction to the heroine of the story.

**Meet Lachlyn**

Thursday afternoon Lachlyn Manning parked in front of her grandmother’s house and looked at the impeccable flowerbeds, overflowing with colorful impatiens, pansies, and daylilies.  The house was empty, the windows dark.  Her grandmother had died the week before, and Lachlyn had just come from the lawyer’s office.  As the only living relative, it fell to her to pack up her grandmother’s things and settle the estate.  Her grandmother had lived simply and planned her estate impeccably, so the only thing that Lachlyn needed to do was decide which items she’d like to keep.  Afterward she would hand over the keys to the estate lawyer, who would handle selling the home and remaining belongings.

Lachlyn grew up in a were-bear den in the small town of Dory, Virginia.  When she turned sixteen and had been unable to shift, everyone had assumed that she was just a late bloomer and would come into her bear shift in time.  But one year passed, and then another.  By the time her nineteenth birthday rolled around, it was clear to everyone in her family that she was a shifting dud, unable to transform from her human self into her bear self.

The king of the bear den, Detroit, had a strict policy that bears who could not shift were to be turned away from the den.  Her mother had held hard to the hope that eventually Lachlyn would shift, that she just needed time.  But each month that passed by only further solidified in Lachlyn’s mind that she’d never know the joy that came from shifting.  And staying with the den and lying about her abilities was a sure way of inciting the king’s rage.  Detroit had a nasty temper and ruled with an iron fist.  Bears who went against him found themselves on the business end of his fist, and he was no male to be trifled with.  To protect her, and give her time to shift, her parents sent her away to college in Georgia, moving with her so that they could be together.  But her happiness was short lived, when her parents were killed in a car accident after their vehicle was struck head-on by a semi.

She’d stayed away from the den all these years, but now that her grandmother had died, Lachlyn returned to the den.  It was as good a time as any to formally leave the den, a task she hadn’t done before now.
