Hello Monday! Welcome! I missed you!

Yeah, I know! Who's excited about Monday?
Me.
It was a long weekend here in Crazy-town on a personal level. I'm just wrapping up a kid's birthday weekend and a few down days from working.
Today I'm back at it and pushing ahead to get Celestia is Falling out by next week some time. Tammy and I are currently both doing a final read through, and then she's ready to go!
Yay!
On the other book front, Darkness of Truth (book 6) in the FBI/Romance series is going to have it's final read through from me before heading off to Tammy next week. It's slotted for release in the next month or so. By July at the latest.
After that, I'm going into lock down for 5 weeks straight to write two books in the Croft & Croft series back to back. I may not be blogging much in those 5 weeks, but I promise to update everyone as much as possible.
I will be answering emails, so keep them coming. I had some great ones this weekend, and I'll be posting them this week as I get some spare time.
Promise!
I have been getting quite a few emails for the Blog tour schedule, and I'll be contacting the woman running it today and get a breakdown for the blog. It's coming! I promise!
Hang in there!

Off to get some killing done!

Much Love, Mayhem and Murder.

Morgan

Excuse me... But I have a question!

Greetings from Morgan-land!

I'm getting a late start this morning on the Blog. It's been a packed week here.

Tomorrow begins the final read through of Celestia is Falling, and I can't wait! Releasing a book is much like giving birth. You grow your work of art, love it and nurture it until it's time. Then you deliver it for the world to see.
I'm in the final stages just waiting to hand my new baby over to all of you!
I hope you love her!

I had some really great questions this week. Some were regarding the books and some were about me. I picked one of each to answer today.

Morgan,
What happened to the plans for the paranormal book series? I was looking forward to it!
Cynthia.

Cynthia, I was too! Unfortunately with my time schedule it isn't possible this year. I'm not saying I won't try, but with my books slotted for release and vacation time scheduled, I can't seem to make it work. As I've stated before, my year runs Sept to Sept. If I complete the last three books for this year, I'll have released 10 novels. That's all I can really pull off. Writing is a multi-stepped process.
Write the book.
Add detailing.
Read through.
Edit.
Off to proofing.
Clean up.
Read through.
Final Proofing.
Final approval before release.
Those nine steps have to happen with each and every book. There's more if there's an issue. For example, with Fire Burns Hot, Tammy had a few concerns, and I had to do a re-structure on a few scenes. That meant adding another read through. From start to finish here's the time frame.
 It takes me two weeks to write each novel
 A week to add details.
Three days to read through.
A week to edit.
Tammy needs up to 2 weeks to proof each manuscript line by line.
It takes me 2 days to clean up (sometimes more)
Read through is another week.
Final proofing is three to five days.
Approval is two more days.
Right there you're looking at nine weeks to get a book out start to finish, if nothing else happens in life, like parties, events, kids appointments, and general mayhem.  Usually I'm a few books ahead, but this time, I'm releasing Celestia is Falling without the second book already completed. That's rare for me. I like to tie my books together and make sure they sync. Fire Burns Hot  was done, and so was the following in the series Darkness of Truth. That makes my life easier. Now I'm in the situation with a projected deadline approaching and no books on the back burner done. Once Celestia is Falling  and  Darkness of Truth release, I then have to write their sequels.

Tammy and I made an agreement this year that by November 15th, all work would be done (for her) until January 1st. I'll be writing, but nothing will be in the process for release until January 1st when we both go back to the grind. Trying to get a paranormal out while on hiatus would be a half assed effort on my behalf, and that's not how we like to roll. (I channeled my inner Elizabeth.)

I promise to try and get the series out for next year.

Morgan,
We all have guilty little pleasures. What's yours?
Tamara

Oh, where to begin.
Tattoos. I think they're probably my most favorite thing in the world. I have my back done, and I'm currently working on my ribs. In fact, I have an appointment on May 8th to get my one side done. There's something that draws me about them. I love the art, the story behind them, and I find a man with tattoos very sexy.
After tattoos, my second guilty little pleasure is shoes. I'm a typical girl. I have a shoe fetish. Which is entertaining since I don't leave the house to work. I love heels and crazy shoes that look like medieval torture devices. I have a pair of blood splattered pumps.
They make me laugh whenever I put them on.
Life is too short to be serious.

Thank you all for the great questions! Please don't forget to leave some book reviews on amazon! Spread the word!


Much Love, Mayhem and Murder,
Morgan.









 

I've been MIA, but I'm back!

Good Morning!

I apologize for not blogging the last two days, I've been neck deep in work and personal life and couldn't spare a single moment!
But here I am now!

I have some updates for all my readers. Celestia is Falling (book 1) had had a little name change, only because it fits better into the series of books following it. I decided to lose the apostrophe 's' and toss in the word 'is', instead. Other than that, it's the same book.
For those of you anxiously anticipating the release, I can tell you that tomorrow I should receive the proof hard copy, and the final read through begins. Tammy will get her copy on Friday and we should have a book release in about two weeks.
YAY!
I'm looking forward to this book coming out for a few reasons. One- It's a change from Elizabeth, Ethan and Callen. Not that I don't LOVE them, but it's nice to switch up the mind every now and again to some new material. Two- I really fell in love with Greyson and Emma. Their love story is sweet and reminds me of my own life. (minus the killing and dead bodies!) Girl meets boy, girl and boy date short time, girl and boy fall hopelessly in love and stay together for a very long time! (happily ever after)
So, I really hope you all love them as much as I do!

Next up on the agenda, is Darkness of Truth (book 6). I've finished detailing it and I'm working on a read through. It goes to Tammy around May 10th for first edit. So we're looking at the release around the middle of June sometime. I found myself laughing quite a bit in this book. If it entertains me the writer, I hope it makes y'all giggle too. Elizabeth, Callen and Ethan have formed a very tight unit, almost unbreakable. Unfortunately, someone from their past is about to rear her head and shake the family up. Callen's heart is about to take a major blow.
I enjoyed writing about Julian and Tori too. I've slotted a series for them and a book by winter, but it may have to be pushed back until January, only because I have a pretty heavy book schedule and not a lot of time to get it done. If I want to roll out Home Sweet Evil (book 7) in the FBI/Romance series, Vegas is Dead (book 2) and Christmas is Killing (book 3) in the Croft & Croft Adventures, I may need to sacrifice Julian and Tori's book until 2014. In my head, I still believe it's doable. Unfortunately, on paper...it looks improbable.
We'll have to see!

Possibly this weekend, I'll release the book back cover for Darkness of Truth (book 6). I've had a few emails from readers that finished Fire Burns Hot (book 5) and are 'dying' to know what happens next.
If I get it done, I'll give you all a sneak peek.

I had great email questions this week!
I'll post a few tomorrow in my blog. Thank you all for purchasing my books this week, emailing me your questions, and reading my blog!

I appreciate it!

Don't forget to leave me some book reviews on amazon! Your review could convince someone else to fall in love with Elizabeth, Callen and Ethan!

Much love, Mayhem and Murder!

Morgan




 

Thank you!

I saw the great reviews that are starting to come in on Amazon, and I greatly appreciate it!
Thank you!!!
Thank you!!!
Thank you!!!
If you haven't left one, please do! I need the input to have an idea on how long I should run the series. I don't want to keep it going if everyone's blasé about it. So, please... Tell me if you like it or not! I know one comment was too much sex. Do you agree? Disagree? 

I'm wrapping up Darkness of Truth (book 6) today, and then doing my final read through before it's ready for proofing in May. Starting next week, I'll be writing the sequel to Celestia's Falling.  I've already had emails regarding it, and that's terrific that everyone's excited already!
YAY!

I hope you all have a really great Sunday!
Keep reading!
There's more Elizabeth, Ethan and Callen coming!
Plus Emma and Greyson are about to roll out in a couple weeks too!

Much Love, Mayhem and Murder,

Morgan.

Q & A Saturday.

Happy Soggy Morning from the North East!

I received some really great emails this week, and I thought I'd share them with you.
The response to Fire Burns Hot  has been amazing! It's outsold all the other books in the series in the two weeks it's been available.
So thank you!
I appreciate all the great emails and comments you've sent me.
Here's two:

Morgan,
Will you ever end your FBI series or do you plan on running it for as long as possible?
Amy.

Well, I don't really know. I always tell everyone that the characters have a life of their own, and when they tell me it's time, then it's time. So far, I still plan on giving Christina a sexy Native, I want to pair off  Doctor Leonard and Doctor Magnus with their own ladies, so that's potentially 6 more books. I love Elizabeth enough that I could keep going with the novels for years to come
BUT
(yes you read a but)
Not at the pace I'm working at right now. My year runs from September to September (I have no idea why, it just does) By the time I reach the end of my year, I'll have dropped 10 novels. That's in one year alone. I'll be honest, I'm going to have to cut back at some point. I either need to cut the books back to 2 per series per year, or I have to cut back on the size of the books.
I'm pushing out 500 page novels every other month and I'm exhausted!
(Yeah, I know. Poor me! I get to work in my PJ's on my couch.)

The other issue is I need more people to leave reviews of the books. My ranking rocks! I'm pulling five novels all under 30,000 on Amazon. That means that out of all the Kindle E books, I'm ranked around 30,000's for each one. To put it into perspective, there's almost 1 million E books out there. To a writer that doesn't really advertise, or publicize her books, that's spectacular. I want to keep Elizabeth, Ethan and Callen going, but other than the emails I get from the few readers, I don't know if the series is making people happy.

Sales+ no reviews = bewilderment on my behalf.

If I could get more reviews, then I'd be able to gauge how many more books I plan on writing with the Blackhawks.

Morgan,
I want to be a writer, what advice can you give me?
Dorothy

I get this question a lot. There are two kinds of writers in the world. Those that make a living off it, and those that don't. If you can write and pay your bills, awesome. If not... That should be your goal. Until you get that first big royalty check, and you can put some of it away, writing is a hobby.

Here's my suggestions:

Keep practicing your craft.

Write every day and don't stop.

Publishing is great, but it's like any other skill. It's about the practice. Before I published my first novel in 2002, I had ten manuscripts on the back burner. None of which saw the light of day, but had been my test runs.

Don't try and make your work like anyone else's. The reason the big sellers rocked it out, was because they wrote something completely different. Find your own niche and stick with it!

Don't set unrealistic goals. Not everyone can write a novel in 2 weeks. If it takes 3 years, it is what it is. Setting yourself up for failure isn't helping you reach your goal.

Take advice- if you ask someone to read something you wrote, and they don't give you the response you wanted to hear, still heed it. What you see as a work of art, or your 'baby' may be rough around the edges and need some help.

Find someone you trust to help you fine tune it. Pick one person and stick with them. That trust you build is important. Where it takes a village to raise a child, it takes a team to build up and break down a literary work.
(I have Tammy. She runs me through the ringer, but I put my faith in her to be honest and not bullshit me.) I fight back, but generally she wins in the end, and that's how it should be. I'm the writer, but she's my audience. I'm not here to write for me, I'm here to write for everyone else.

Work on a schedule and stick to it. I get up at 2 a.m., and bed at nine every night. It's a routine and I work best when I'm doing something familiar.

Lastly, don't jump around. If you start a book, finish it. By quitting or stopping half way to 'shelf' it, you're only giving yourself permission to never go back (I've done it myself and they're still waiting for me.) 

I hope this answers your questions! Keep the emails coming! I'll post more questions and answers tomorrow!

Okay, back to Darkness of Truth (book 6). I have a schedule to keep and need to channel my Elizabeth Blackhawk!

Much Love, Mayhem and Murder.

Morgan





 

Morning all!

Going to ask a favor!
If you read the FBI Series with Ethan, Elizabeth and Callen, can you post a review on Amazon?
Tell me what you thought about it there and maybe others will be inspired to fall in love with them too!

I get all your great emails, but sharing your thoughts on Amazon will spread the word further! WE LOVE ELIZABETH! Now go out and share with all the others who have yet to fall for her charm, charisma and sense of sarcasm.

More questions coming tomorrow! I'm deep in the bowels of Darkness of Truth (book 6). I spoke to Tammy yesterday, and Celestia's Falling (book 1) is fairly clean and will be out before we know it!
YAY!
I hope you all love Emma and Greyson as much as you cherish Elizabeth, Ethan and Callen!

Much love, Mayhem and Murder

Morgan.

Back to work!

Morning from Morganville. It's a sunny day here and I'm just prepping for the rest of my day. I had some issues with the kindle version of Fire Burns Hot yesterday. For some reason, Kindle formatting isn't doing what it's supposed to, and the chapters are not starting on full pages. After spending five hours trying to get them to line up, I've sent numerous emails, etc. I had to let it go, so here and now I'll apologize that the start of each chapter isn't on it's own page.

Sorry!

I really tried to make it look as clean as possible, but after butting my head against the publishing wall numerous times, I had to just let it go.
AND breathe.

Onto better news...
Celestia's Falling is off at the proofer getting her makeover, and today I'm neck deep in Darkness of Truth (book 6). Once the kids are off on the bus, I'll be shutting down my phone and getting down and dirty with Elizabeth, Ethan, Callen, Tori and Julian.
In darkness of Truth, we're encountering skinwalkers, and I'm taking it back to my Native roots and going hardcore American Indian- even on the Rez.
Since the book is already written and currently at 460 pages and 152,000+ words, I'm just adding the fine details and cleaning it up. This one should hit 500 pages easily.

After that project, I'm going to be writing Vegas is Dying (book 2) in the Croft & Croft adventures. Thanks to Tammy last night, I can say it's going to involve Showgirls and some gruesome murder. I can't wait to see how Special Agent Greyson Croft and his new wife Detective Emma Starling-Croft handle it. I hope I don't gross you all out too much!
*wink wink*

Once I finish Vegas is Dying, I'll be writing Home Sweet Evil (book seven). This is the one where we find out who in the family dies. I'm still getting random emails trying to bribe me and beg me not to kill Callen or Ethan off...
My lips are sealed, Darlin'.

I'll also be writing Stolen by Moonlight (book 1), featuring Tori and Julian. That was going to be my last book for the year, but I opted to toss in a Christmas book in the Croft & Croft series too. I believe it's going to be called, Christmas is Killing  (book 3). As it stands, I'm aiming to have it done for December, so I have to have it written by September. Once November gets here, I've promised Tammy no work through Thanksgiving until New Years for her. I'll be writing, but she's on hiatus.

As you can see, that's three full novels I need to have completed by September. 600,000 words and 1500 pages written, in order to assure I stay on deadline. Let's toss in there that I'm going to be on vacation most of September. (That's when I'll make Tammy work in the word mines toiling away!)
*evil laughter*

I hope I can deliver!

Thank you all for your emails and comments! I'll be featuring a few later this week!
Off to work!
Hi Ho, Hi Ho....


Much Love, Mayhem and Murder.

Morgan.








 

In honor of Boston....

My love and peace to the poor people hurt at the Boston Marathon yesterday. My heart goes out to you and your beautiful city. May your hearts heal, your souls find solace and may those of you that lost loved ones, one day find peace.
To the family that lost their child in this senseless act, I am so sorry for your loss. I can't even imagine your pain.

Today is about the ones lost.


Blessed Be.

Morgan.

One of th possible Celestia is Falling back covers

Happy Monday Mourning!
In my opinion, the worst day of the week! I always feel like I'm three days behind on Monday, even if I'm not!
I'm almost done with Celestia is Falling. I'm doing my final read-through and it get's sent off today or tomorrow morning. So, like I promised here's a possible back cover to the book. I have three, so I'm not saying this is the one, but it's a candidate.
Anyway, for everyone dying to know what the book is about, it'll give you a basic idea.

Celestia is Falling; (Book one)

In life there are few constants.
We're born.
We die.
And we all have secrets.
Emma Starling is no different. She's on the run and trying to escape the murder of her brother, and the death she chased on the Philadelphia streets that stained her soul. To make it out alive and wash away the blood on her hands, she's forced herself into self imposed exile . Nothing matters now but keeping her sanity and patching up her life.  
Celestia is her new found sanctuary and the best part? No one thinks about murder in the sleepy utopia. That is until a serial killer comes to town, targeting the women he deems guilty of the oldest sin. 
What's a skittish sheriff to do?
Nothing less than call in the FBI before it gets out of hand.

Greyson Croft comes to Celestia on the trail of his own serial killer, and what he finds is something he never expected.
Love at first sight.
Now he has only one chance to keep his woman alive. If the killer doesn't get her, he has a chance of catching her himself.
Love conquers all, but can it beat back a homicidal maniac bent on Celestia Falling?

 

 

 

Tomorrow I'll answer some of your questions that I've received this weekend via email!

 

Have a really great day and keep reading!

 

Much Love, Mayhem and Murder.

 

Morgan.

Update on the next book

I've had a slew of emails this weekend already regarding my next book. Celestia is Falling will be out in a few weeks. It's not part of the FBI series, and will stand alone as book one in it's own coming series of books. It is a romantic thriller. I'll be posting the synopsis for the back cover tomorrow!

As for the Elizabeth, Callen and Ethan's books- They have one slotted for summer. I know you want them all right now, but I can't keep up!!!  I promise you'll all find out what's going on in their lives in Darkness of Truth (Book 6)  At 500+ pages each book, it takes me a couple of weeks to get the book out. Bear with me! 190,000 words isn't a 40 hour job, but I love (and appreciate) your enthusiasm about it!

Keep coming back to the blog to get the details on my upcoming Blog tour! It's fast approaching!
I believe there's 11-13 different Blog venues slotted for the schedule. It should be a blast!

Much Love, Mayhem and Murder.

Morgan.

April Showers...

Bring days where I want to blow off work and bake cookies for the kids.
(maybe eat some too...)

Morning all! It's a chilly, wet day in Morganville. I've been up working and I'm in the mood to shut down the laptop and watch movies all day with the kids.
Maybe that's a sign I need a vacation.

Anyway, pushing forward... Doing the read though of Celestia's Falling in an effort to stay on track for the weekend. I'm taking a holiday in Salem MA in a few days, so I'm trying to wrap up everything that needs to be taken care of before hand.

This book is going off in three days, and before I leave I'll have done my detailing of Darkness of Truth.  I like to keep Tammy busy when I'm away... (Idle hands are the devil's workshop- that always makes me think of my granny!)

I had some great emails from you all! Thank you for reaching out to just tell me your opinion and ideas! I wish I could use some of them, but sadly, Elizabeth's journey already is written in the stars. But thank you!  I love how you all are taking an emotional investment in the characters!

I did receive an email from a disgruntled reader upset about the sex in the books. I'll address that here and now. (Once again!)

I'm sorry that you believe that my novels can be written without the graphic sex. This is why they're classified CONTEMPORARY ROMANCES. If you want romances that are less sex and more feeling, you can search for Christian Romance Novels and not have to deal with sex and language. Granted, I understand your perspective, but try and understand mine. If you read the book description on Amazon, BAM or Barnes and Nobel, you will see that it's tagged with a warning about graphic sex. I do that to appease the readers that don't want any surprises in their books.
Lastly, I'm the author and I like sex in my romances. I think it acts as a cohesive bond between the two (or three) characters. Since my name has to go on them, I stand by it.
Off my sex soap box and back to the grind!

This weekend I'll be posting a synopsis for Celestia's Falling.  Keep checking back!

Much Love, Mayhem and Murder,

Morgan.


 

Crazy day in Murderville!

Happy Thursday everyone!

It's been a crazy hectic week here, and I feel like I'm way behind on just about everything (including the blog and updating my website!). I'm still answering all your emails and I love hearing from all of you!

Today I'm wrapping up the final proof for Celestia's Falling.  By Monday I'll be handing it over to my 'go to girl' and she'll be doing her first read through. I hope she enjoys it, because writing it was fun!
I decided to take the story a little different route. I know so many of you have told me that you love Elizabeth and her toughness, but this time I'm going to be making the heroine a bit softer. I don't think I can ever replicate Elizabeth and run another series with someone that's just like her. She's completely unique and individual.
Instead we're going to be meeting Emma. She's pretty much the polar opposite of Elizabeth. Less crass, less hardened and more gentle. She's going to be running into the man of her dreams. I have to say, creating Grayson was an adventure too. He was definitely made for Emma.
Can you say 'SOULMATES'?
He's old school.
Possessive.
He believes women are delicate creatures to protect and nurture (Elizabeth would kick his ass!)
I wanted him to be the opposite of the heroine and play off her weaknesses. I think I've done it!

When they come together a few things are going to happen. Sparks will fly, tempers will flare and they will have to learn how to deal with the intricacies of a relationship amid a serial killing .

I'm in love with them!
I hope when you meet them you love them too!

Now as for some questions from you the reader.

Morgan,
I loved how you made Tori so fragile at the end of Fire Burns Hot, but will we see how tough she is coming up in the next book?
Marla.

Marla, WE WILL!  At the end of Fire Burns Hot, we find her battered, emotionally broken and in pieces. In the next book, Darkness of Truth , Tori comes into her own strength and ends up being the one Julian needs. We're going to see a complete transformation in her as the next book opens. She's found love, is blossoming and ready to handle life.
I'm excited about it!

Morgan,
You said you have a few series coming out. Will they be like the FBI one?
Tania

Tania, in some respects yes, and some no. In the FBI series, we have a family that's running FBI West. It makes the books fairly easy to write because they all work together. I have the scope and magnitude of the FBI to use in the novels. In the next series (The Croft & Croft Adventures) it will still have Grayson as an FBI agent, but Tori won't be joining him. I have a plan for them when Celestia's Falling concludes. When book two in the series, Vegas is Dying  comes out, you'll see what I mean. (I can't give away too much- it'll ruin the book.) As for the next series, we'll be following Tori and Julian. I've created a way to spin them off and give them their own little realm. Again, I can't tell you too much, since the book that kicks their adventure off isn't released yet. By the end of Darkness of Truth  you'll see what I mean.
Hang in there for a month or two!

Morgan,
On your blog you mentioned a cyber book tour. When is it?
Christiana

Christiana, the dates are going to be announced in a couple days. The person handling my tour hasn't given me the final itinerary yet, but as soon as she does, I'll post it all. Then you can follow me from the comfort of your own home.

I will say this. There was an interview that was conducted, and it was between the Blog host, Ethan and Callen. Entertaining, fascinating and funny stuff. That alone is worth following me around the internet! You get to see the world from the eyes of the men in Elizabeth's life.

PRICELESS!!!!

Okay, more questions another time! I have three books on the schedule and only 24 hours in a day.
Get ready for more steamy excitement this summer with Ethan, Elizabeth and Callen. Tori and Julian, as they start their adventure and Emma and Grayson finding each other and falling in love.

Much Love, Mayhem and Murder.

Morgan.















 

Thank you! Thank you!

I have been buried in lots of great emails from all of you!
I'm so darn happy that you're all loving Fire Burns Hot.  As a writer, it's amazing to know your baby is loved and cherished!
So many of you have sent great emails asking a ton of questions, and starting Thursday, I'll be going over some of them.
Right now I'm neck deep in Celestia's Falling and on a deadline to get it to my fabulous proofer by next week! She's itching for some work, and I aim to please!

Tammy and I are contemplating bumping the book schedule up a little, since so many of you devoured Fire Burns Hot over the weekend. Seriously! You all finished it in two days? I love my readers!!!! Awesome!
That's some feat, since its over 500 pages.

If possibly, I'm thinking of releasing the next book in the series Darkness of Truth  in July instead of September. I can't make any promises, but WE will do our best! If that's the case you may see the entire schedule bumped a bit forward.

Keep visiting this site and keep reading!
If you get my book on amazon, leave a review! I want to hear from you!

Much Love, Mayhem and Murder.

Happy Sunday!

Good morning all!

I hope you're having a really great weekend! Thank you to everyone that has been buying my new release and emailing me about it. I appreciate your kind words and perspectives!

I received some emails the last few days (I will be replying to everyone today, I'm a little behind on some work.) I do want to thank the reader that gave me an excellent review on Amazon for Fire Burns Hot. It turned out it's a guy and that's awesome!
Your reviews made me laugh. You rock!

I appreciate everything that you all say and post! I may not mention it non-stop, but it's always in the back of my mind. Keep your reviews coming! What you post helps others decide if they'll love Elizabeth, Ethan and Callen too!

On a side note, a fellow author who is hosting my Blog Tour is promoting her first mini-novel. Here's her blog. Pop in and check her out. There's a link to Amazon there.

KC Cavanaugh.

As soon as I have a list of my upcoming blog tour sites, I'll list them here for you. As for the next book in the series Darkness of Truth (book 6) Expect it out sometime this summer. Sorry to make you all wait so long, but there's other books in the works before it. I'm doing my read through of Celestia's Falling  right now, and then it's off to Tammy for proofing. (No release date on that yet, but I'm projecting that it'll be the beginning of summer. I'm aiming for Memorial Day, but we'll see.)

Everyone have a great weekend!

Keep on reading!

Much Love, Mayhem and Murder!

Morgan.

Released!

Fire Burns Hot is now available on Amazon!


I've also sent the free download to the winners.

Enjoy!

Morgan

Fire Burns Hot!

Good Morning Everyone!

I received some emails regarding the release of my newest novel, and I'm here to answer them for you!

I just approved the cover art and the interior, so Fire Burns Hot should be available sometime today! I wanted to get it out before the weekend, only because I know I love reading on Saturday and Sunday.
(it's supposed to rain here on the East coast, so that means fuzzy blanket and a book.)

The paperback version will also be out today, for those of you that like to hold your books in your hands and save them for years to come. (me too!)

I hope you all enjoy the story of Julian and Tori, along with our regular antics of Elizabeth, Callen and Ethan!

Don't forget to follow me on my Blog Book Tour that's coming up in may! I hear that there's going to be an interview with Ethan and Callen, so you may get some insight to what it's like to love and share a bed with Elizabeth!

Much Love, Mayhem and Murder!

Fire Burns Hot Update

The proof was gone through and the corrections are made!

Now I just have to do a final read through! If I don't find anything, the book will be out for the weekend!
Yay!

Everyone have a good day! I'm off to go read Deep Dark Mire (for enjoyment and to get back into the Elizabeth mindset) and then roll into Fire Burns Hot!

Today's a good day to curl up with a coffee, fuzzy blanket and a book!


Much Love, Mayhem and Murder!
