Final day of the blog tour!

Last stop of my blog tour is here!  I'll be wrapping up with a visit to my fellow writer and friend's blog. KC Cavanaugh is hosting me today!
You can find my interview here.

Thank you for following along!
Back to our regular blog tomorrow!

Okay... I finally broke down and did it...

I get one question more than anything in emails.

WHY ARE YOU NOT ON FACEBOOK?

I was at one time, but not under my pen name. I closed the account a year ago, because it was an addiction. I was weak. I couldn't control myself.
So it had to go.

Now, I have to say... It's back. I created a page for my work. I know... It's going to suck out my soul and swallow me whole, but I have to try.

Join me on FB here.

If you have FB, come on out and like my page. Join me in the downfall of modern society. I swear, we can go down together...
It's just beginning to be put together, so excuse it's appearance. Much like the page, we're a work in progress.

I even posted a picture of me, for those of you that think I don't really exist and am a figment of someone's imagination. Yep. That woman on the page is me.
I swear!
Really!

For those of you that don't have a FB page, fear not, I shall be posting here as always.

I've gotten some emails for the trivia contest, and I can't wait to see who wins!

Much Love, Mayhem and Murder,

Morgan

Question Monday!

Happy beginning of the work week!

As promised, here are a few of the questions ya'll sent me!

Morgan,
How many books are coming out for the rest of the year? I want to start your Croft & Croft series, but don't want to wait until next year to read the sequel.
Tina

I can't say I blame you! I hate picking up a book, only to have the author leave it hanging and not having a planned book out for 6 more months. It's frustrating!

Here's the progression of the series for the Croft & Croft Romance Series:

Celestia is Falling (1)
Vegas is Dying (2) out in July.
Christmas is Killing (3) out in Nov/ early December.

There will also be one out in Feb or March. I'm planning a massive crossover with Elizabeth, Ethan and Callen too. Once you read book 2 - Vegas is Dying, you'll understand why! Until then... shhhhhhhhh. I will say it will be a MEGA novel. Vegas is Dying is about 470 pages, and the mega book cross over will be almost 700 (or I'm planning on that. We'll see as I sit down to write it!)

Here's the progression for The FBI/Romance series:
The Killing Times (1)
Sacred Burial Grounds (2)
True Love Lost (3)
Deep Dark Mire (4)
Fire Burns Hot (5)
Darkness of Truth (6)  out by the week of June 1st.
Devil hath Come  (7) Released for Halloween at the end of Sept. .

That's about it for this year. I will be working through the Christmas holiday penning one or two books for the 2014 season to start off, but my proofer Tammy, she's off from Nov 15 to Jan 1st. Everything that I plan on releasing has to be ready to go by that date in Nov.

So, there are more books coming out for the Croft & Croft series this year. If you're reading both series, you'll have one in June, one in July, one in Sept, and one in Nov.
Plenty of reading!

Morgan,
Are you still planning to erroneously steal one of Elizabeth's men from her?
Charlotte

Hmmmm, how do you really feel, Charlotte? Your question made me laugh, because I get it about every other day. I will only say this. IF something were going to happen to either Callen or Ethan, it would be in Devil Hath Come. That being said, I've yet to write that book, and won't be until July, so I can't tell you much more.
I've storyboarded it with Tammy, and she and I have discussed where I'm heading with the series. Will there be a cliffhanger leading into 2014? No idea yet. One never knows with me....

Morgan,
I just read Celestia is Falling, and I'm in love. I wasn't sure if you could top two sexy native men, but you managed to make Greyson Croft completely endearing and different. Why did you go that route?
Sally.

Greyson Croft is a throwback to a long ago era. I wanted him to be sexy, dominant and bossy. I'm setting the readers up for book 2 with his temper, his behavior and attitude. Emma isn't Elizabeth. She's softer, more delicate and gentle. She needs a different kind of man, and that's Greyson. As you read book 2, you'll see that (Spoiler) Vegas is the perfect town for them. He's going to need to be bossy, strong and tough for what I have coming for both of them.
In book 2, you'll see him start to unfurl into the man he's meant to be, as you watch Emma define herself too.
I sometimes get called on not giving my characters enough depth in the first book, well I can't. If I give it all away in book 1, why read the series? I like to develop them over the course of the series. You're going to see some things you may like or dislike in both characters over the progression. In life, seldom is it always smooth sailing, and this couple came together in less than two weeks. They're going to hit some rough spots. It's normal.
Vegas was ideal for a man that is 'old school' and very opinionated. He makes no excuses, and tells it like it is. Emma is his woman and that means something to him.

I will say that in Vegas is Dying you're set up for something big brewing. It's most likely leading to the Mega Novel crossover.
So, if you haven't read both series by the time it rolls out, you'll need to, or you won't understand all the characters.

Again, thank you for the great questions! I already received more and will post them later in the week. I'm going to be taking the next three days off to take the kids to an amusement park fun-fest, but I'll be back blogging later in the week!
If I survive the rollercoasters!

Have a great week and keep reading!

Much Love, Mayhem and Murder,

Morgan.

 

Darkness of Truth synopsis and book cover

Morning everyone!
I'm getting a late start today. I actually slept in for once.

But as I promised, I'm going to reveal the new cover for Darkness of Truth (book 6) and the breakdown of what it's about.

Here it is! What do you all think? I loved the stark contrast of the white feather against the black and grey cover. It was exactly what I pictured in my head!

I love when something works out perfectly!

As promised, here's the synopsis.

Darkness of Truth -Book six in the FBI/Romance Series

Julian Littlemoon has finally found the one. Special Agent Tori Christensen completes his heart and soul like no other before her. Rescuing her from the VA, they retreat to his home to help her recover. As she grows stronger, he knows there’s only one thing left to do.
Marry the girl.
Victoria Christensen can never repay him back for saving her heart and soul. Never will there be a man that can replace Julian in her life. He’s her all. As the time comes to make her decision on returning to the FBI, the tension is building.
Stay with her career?
Or stick with a man that gave her a second chance?
Before she can decide, a killer had returned to Red River. This time as a Native Skinwalker hell bent on justice his way. The rules are quickly changing, as everyone fights to figure out what’s happening around them.
When the skinless bodies begin turning up, Julian and Tori are lucky enough to have back up by their sides. In comes the FBI with Callen Whitefox and Elizabeth and Ethan Blackhawk leading the way. They made a promise to Tori once before, and they plan on keeping it. 
Friends always have your back.
The killer has a few secrets of his own, as he gives Julian the surprise of his life.

It’s all going to come down to friends and family holding strong through the storm as the ugliness shines a light on the Darkness of Truth…

Back to work!

I have to finalize some corrections before I can move forward and meet the deadline of June 1st for release of Darkness of Truth.

Look for some really great questions tomorrow!

Much Love, Mayhem and Murder!

Morgan!

Follow me every day! You may find out some secrets on what's coming up for Ethan, Callen and Elizabeth!

The Killing Times (book 1) ~ An FBI/Romance Series

Then: Salem, MA 1692. Burning, hanging, stoning and drowning were the way they killed a witch. The trials were a joke, and the deaths were a shame. The Killing times changed so many lives... forever.


Now: Salem, SC. Elizabeth LaRue has come home. After a stint in the FBI, a failed assignment and a disastrous affair, she has returned to a town she willingly walked away from, her body and heart battered and bruised. Her father's sudden death has brought her home, opening up more questions that need answers. As she agrees to step in as Sheriff, she finds that the town isn't quite as tranquil as she thought. A string of bizarre killings that are mimicking the Salem Witch trials is plaguing her home, and scaring the people she has sworn to protect.

Elizabeth now has to call in the FBI, and be faced with a past and people she is trying to forget.

Will Ethan Blackhawk be her salvation or her ultimate downfall?

Time is running out, bodies are stacking up, and there are only two options. Stop the killer, or die trying

Morning!

Greetings from Morganland!
I'm happy to say that I'm one day out from finishing the sequel to Celestia is Falling. I should have Vegas is Dying (book 2) finished by tomorrow night. That means it'll be going to Tammy for read through in the next ten days of so. I still have to do my thing with it and make sure all the details are in and perfect.
I'm excited, because it was fun to give Emma and Greyson a life together.
If you've read Celestia is Falling (book 1) you know that the hero in the book is a throwback to a time long gone. He's a man's man, bossy and possessive. Well, you put him in Vegas, and a whole lot of Greyson comes to the surface. (That's all I'll say for now...)
Emma has moved into her new career (Again, not spilling the beans...) and their lives have taken a whole new path together.
I think everyone will enjoy the second book in the series. I'm having one heck of a time writing it!

Now, as for the next book in the FBI/Romance Series. Darkness of Truth (book 6). It's done with the final proof read. I'm getting it back today, and I'll do all the fixes and corrections this weekend. By next week, it'll be off to proof and going for it's final read through. That means we're looking at the first or second week of June, depending on scheduling. I'll be traveling next week on Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday, and Tammy is off for the Memorial week. So, we'll have to see where we fall into the schedule. I will say, she had told me this is her new favorite book. For a while, it was Sacred Burial Grounds (book 2) and I finally managed to wow her and dethrone that from her all time favorite list.
I hope you all feel the same. It's wrapping up a lot of loose ends that have happened over the last three books or so. We see the conclusion of Julian and Tori's story, and we also find out whatever happened to Doctor Desdemona Adare.
She's had it in for Callen Whitefox since the day he broke off their engagement and moved on to Elizabeth. Well, she's back and boy... does she have one hell of a plan to break the man that broke her.
I've tossed in a few twists, turns and surprises. So, look for Darkness of Truth to be out in about three to four weeks. If I can make a miracle happen and get it out earlier, you know I will.
Starting next week, when I'm back home, I'll be writing book three in the Croft & Croft Adventure series. Christmas is Killing (book 3) won't be out until November fifteenth, or around there. That's slotted to be the last book of the year for Emma and Greyson.
I'll have one more for Elizabeth, Callen and Ethan too. Devil Hath Come (book 7) due out in time for Halloween. I've decided to pick a creepy cover, and I hope you all like it!.

Look for my Blog tour to begin on the 16th right here. Then there's a listing on my blog of all the other sites during the week that will have interviews, posts, reviews etc. on the entire FBI/Romance series.
There's an interview with Callen and Ethan too. I found it charming and fun to watch unfold.
Everyone have a really great day!

Keep reading, so I can keep killing!

Much love, Mayhem and Murder,

Morgan.

Happy Mother's Day

To all the moms out there, Happy Mother's Day!
It's the hardest job in the world.
It gets the least acknowledgment.
and rarely does anyone say thank you.

It's also the greatest job
the most rewarding
and absolutely the best experience out there!

Being a mother is the best and worst of everything all at once.
You get the hugs, the cuddles and the smiles, but you also have to watch your little ones navigate the scary outside world.
It's the toughest thing in the universe, and each mother who has caught puke, patched up cuts, and answered where babies came from at seven a.m. over Fruit Loops, deserves a medal.

Today's all about Mom.
Love her.
Appreciate her.
don't always agree or get her, but know that when it comes down to it, having a good mom means
you have one bad ass person in your corner that will drop kick anyone that tries to hurt her babies.

I hope you're all sitting up, feet up, coffee in hand opening your cards and presents your husbands forgot to get until the last minute. (story of my life)
Today is all about us.
However many years ago it was that you brought life screaming into the world,
spent years trying not to strangle your teenager,
or picked gum from under things that were once treasured 'antiques'.
No murder from me today, only happiness that I get to be celebrated for my most important works of art.

They aren't Ethan, Elizabeth or Callen.
Or Greyson and Emma,
but Isabella Ali and Alexzander Ares,

Happy Mother's Day all,
and if your husbands forgot, didn't get you flowers or something
big, fat and sparkly, give me their name.
I'll send out Elizabeth to ass kick them into next month.

Much Love, Mayhem and Mommy-hood,

Morgan.
 

Weekend is here!

Happy Friday everyone!
And happy Mother's day weekend! I hope all the moms out there get pampered and treated really well this Sunday!
I'm not sure what my family has planned for me, but I'm going to be working. I pray it involves copious amounts of coffee and quiet.
But in my house, one never knows!

I'm happy to report that Celestia is Falling has gotten it's first review, and I'm sure more to come. All the feedback seems to be positive, and that makes me happy, since I'm in the middle of writing the second book in the series. I'm just about halfway through, and by Monday I'll be in the home stretch. I'm liking how Vegas is Dying is unfolding. It's been fun to write. I'm carrying over a few characters from the first book. I'll most likely be rolling right into writing the next one as soon as this one is done. While I'm focused on Emma and Greyson, I might as well get it wrapped, but it all depends on the first read through of the next book in the FBI/Romance series.

I haven't had a recent update on Darkness of Truth, but generally no calls means good news with Tammy. If there's a problem, I usually hear about it quickly. As soon as she get's it back to me, I'll be able to gauge when it's coming out. I need to see how much work is needed repairing and fixing it. As soon as I know, you'll know...

I did get a few emails this week asking more questions, and I'll post them as soon as possible. I was busy writing this week, and getting a new tattoo for the collection. (I can't help it, they're addictive!) But as soon as I have a few moments this weekend, I'll get them into the blog. As always, great questions!

Keep reading. Keep sending me emails with your comments and questions, and every mom out there, have a great Mother's day! You deserve it!
It's the hardest job on the earth!

Much Love, Mayhem and Murder,

Morgan.
 

Celestia is doing great!

Wow! I woke up to a bunch of emails and the success of Celestia is Falling.
I can't tell you how happy that makes me! Thank you for all your emails telling me you're reading the new book!
I promise to get the sequel out as soon as possible! Vegas is Dying  is on it's way! Writing it has already begun and I'm proud to say I'm 1/4 of the way through it already. It should be completed by next Tuesday after a week of a few all nighters.
I know the worst part of a series is having to wait for the next book to come out. I've been there, but I'm slotted to release two more in the sequel this year. In fact, I'm writing two books back to back.
Vegas is Dying (2)
Christmas is Killing (3)
Then it's back to the last book of the year for the FBI/Romance series Devil Hath Come (7)
This year I'm doing two holiday themed books. Christmas is killing is self explanatory, and Devil Hath Come  is all about my favorite holiday, Halloween.

So far, I'm on schedule and it's looking good.
(I just jinxed myself....)

Keep reading everyone!
Leave reviews too! They help me gauge the book!


Much Love, Mayhem and Murder,

Morgan.
