Morning Everyone!

Happy Thursday!

Just taking a moment to tell you all that Blood Red Rage, the first book in the Littlemoon Investigations series, is finally done. I'm writing the epilogue and hook to the next book.
YAY!
I love the way it came out. I also love the bond between Julian and his twin! (Fear not, all those of you that are squeamish with the threesome sex in the FBI series, I didn't go that route.) The brothers have a good solid relationship, and that's going to be the foundation for everything in this series.
We all need someone to have our backs.
In this case, it's Julian and Tori and Justin and Vivian.
Love this book!
I only wish that you all could read it now!
Alas, it still needs details and editing, but still...

I'm starting my final read through of Christmas is Killing next. It's going off to be final edited in two weeks. I can't wait for you to find out what happens in Vegas.
Life is about to get more difficult for Greyson and Emma.

I hope you're all ready for the next installment of the FBI series. The release date isn't far away now. We're talking  31 days! I hope you all love Devil Hath Come. Everyone that's proofed it or read it has said it's even better than Darkness of Truth, so, if you loved the last book, you should love the next one even more...

Last thing on my to do list for this year, I'm going to be writing the next FBI book. I'm starting to do my research and prepping for Consumed by Wrath (Book 8). I can't tell you anything about it, but I promise it will leave you hungry for more....

*Wink Wink*

Back to vacationing!

Oh, and for those of you that love Greyson and Emma, Celestia is Falling is being reedited as we speak. The book is 1/4 done. I'm not sure if there will be a new cover. I kind of like the old one.
Questions and answered next blog!

Enjoy the day!
Get reading!

Much Love, Mayhem and Murder,

Morgan
 

Updated website

Greetings from hiatus,

I updated my website today.
If you want a sneak peak at the new books coming out (their synopsis) pop on over to the site and click on the writings tab

You can get there here.

I dropped all the future covers there and even told you what Devil Hath Come (7) is all about.

Enjoy!

Much Love, Mayhem and Murder,

Morgan.

Questions for me...

Morning all!

Sorry that I've been slow to reply to emails. Where i'm at, there isn't really great cell service, and I don't have Wi-Fi. (I know...)

I have been getting more and more emails lately and by some miracle of the writing Gods, they've all been good... (I've just jinxed myself.)

Okay, let's kick this day off with a fun one!

Hi Morgan – well I have read all 6 books now in 5 weeks so what am I going to do now!!!  ;(o

 

I love them – Elizabeth, Ethan & Callen work so well, not seedy as I would have initially thought had some one said I would read a book that included a three way relationship but genuine feelings of love between them. I can identify with a lot of the feelings Elizabeth has, especially when Callen went off to collect his daughter and Elizabeth was frightened he had forsaken her. Loyalty in a relationship is so very important to me.

 

I feel quite bereft that I have nothing to fill my time. Saying that of course I have been sat here reading instead of doing my boring chores, so I now have to catch up with them!!!!

I guess that I’ll have to try your Croft & Croft Romance Adventure  Can’t wait until Halloween tho’.

 Please, please, please don’t ever stop writing the Blackhawks series – Long live the Blackhawks!!!!

 One thing I am intrigued about is the closeness of the publication dates do you really write them at quickly or was it a deliberate ploy to stock pile them and release them at short intervals

Pam.

Hi back at you, Pam.

I picked this email for the blog due to the first line. (The not seedy part.) I am a firm believer, that if you can get past the initial shock of the threesome, then you'll find an amazing love story in it's wake. I can't tell you how many emails that I get like this. I know that Deep Dark Mire scared quite a few people, but there has to be that emotional rollercoaster in a book to make it a good read. I truly believe that without that element, the books would just be another duplicate romance. I like to stand out and get your attention, and that catalyst did it.
Once past it, you find that the three are madly in love with each other. In theory, it shouldn't work, but again, love conquers all and bridges them together.
Moral of the story, if you read up to book 4, and then go to amazon for spoilers or to find out what happens, and then quit because of what you read there, YOU WILL shortchange yourself on an emotional read that is full of love.
Be open minded and don't judge the book by it's reviews.

Really.

As for the length of the series, I'm contemplating an end book. I would like to run it forever, but really, it needs more reviews that sing of it's praises and less of it's perceived flaws (the threesome). As of right now, I have up to book ten plotted out in my head. So, there will be at least that many more. You've got 1 more year of the Blackhawks to go, and then, it's up in the air. (If you want more books, leave some love on Amazon in the form of reviews. More positive reviews means the publisher will want more books put out and I'll keep writing.)

Okay, now to address the publication dates. As my team will attest, I have no books stockpiled. (The vampyre series I do have three more written, but they are shorter reads) It takes me 10 days to write a book if I do 16 hour days. Now, for the first in the Littlemoon series, I've only been writing 2 chapters a day. It will take me 20 days (approx.), but I am on vacation.  I write a book and then add more details, it then get's a first read through and heads off to be edited and proofed. While that is happening, I generally am working on another book. It's done in tandem to keep the books coming.

I began writing The Killing Times in July last year, it was released in September, and each book was written 2 months before release. In fact, I was working up until Christmas Even on True Love Lost.
I can't say there will be 6 FBI books next year, since I'm now balancing a few series. I just don't think I can pull off that kind of miracle. So, I'm looking at 2-3 FBI books next year, and 2-3 Croft books, and 2 Littlemoon ones. I also have a new series breaking in 2015 that may only be a trilogy, or it may be more. Again, it's FBI related, since that's my comfort zone.

Here's the projected schedule (it may change)

January - Blood Red Rage (book 1) Littlemoon series

February- Consumed by Wrath (book 8) FBI series

April- Love is Bleeding (book 4) Croft & Croft series

June- Lost & Broken (book 2) Littlemoon series

August - FBI Series, (book 9) title unknown

October- Croft & Croft series title unknown (book 5)

December- FBI Series (book 10) title unknown.

I hope this answered your question, Pam. (I also emailed you back!)

Only time for one more question today, and then I have to get my hiatus on! I will post more through this week when I can, and when I have internet access.

Morgan,
I love your books and I have to admit the threesome freaked me out a little, but after reading all the books, I admit that they were great. BUT, I love the Croft & Croft series more. Greyson is definitely an alpha male and yummy! Here's my inquiry. Why don't you describe your characters in more detail? Is it on purpose?
Thanks,
Megan.

Morning, Megan. I completely understand the freak out, and thank you for following through and trusting it! I'm pleased that you had the courage to read on!
I personally love Greyson too. I never divulge if I have a favorite series, but he's up there with my all time favorite characters.
Who doesn't love a strong, sexy man that takes care of his woman????

As to the character description. I don't overdo it, because in my mind, sexy may be one thing, and in your another. So, I allow you the reader to visualize the characters your way. That's why I don't put pictures of people on my books. My Elizabeth may be different from yours, and the same with Emma and now Tori.
I want you to use your imagination. I don't heavily bury the story in details. Tammy and I have had this discussion many times, where she wants to know more about a dress, or lingerie and I don't do it. I just think that my readers are able to picture in their minds a slinky green dress. I don't need to describe it too much.
So, I guess you can say it's on purpose and my style of writing.
PLUS, if I detailed everything to death, the books would be 800 pages! That's a whole lot of words!!!

Okay all, I'm off to get my run in, and then spend time with my kids. .
This is my vacation!
Yay!
I need coffee and some sun!

Have a great day and thank you for the emails and reviews on amazon! If you haven't left one for the series, please post one! I want all the people out there to get a different perspective on the books!

Much love, Mayhem and Murder,

Morgan.










 

Happy Sunday!

Morning all!

It's a fine day to be on hiatus!

Just to update you, Sacred Burial Grounds (book 2) in the FBI/Romance series is updated and uploaded. By tonight, you should see the new cover and new content. Inside, it should say THIRD EDITION and the cover has a skeleton in a burial ground in it.

Here it is:

If you don't have this edition, you can contact Amazon customer service and they will push it through to your kindles automatically. Just give them about five days. (Yes, it takes them that long to update a book...)

I didn't get any work done today, so nothing to report on there. I'm just going to kick back and relax the rest of the day. I think a BBQ may be in order. Like Elizabeth, cattle stampede from me too.

If it once mooed, then it is fair game...

I'm a little discombobulated. I'm not used to not getting up and not working. So, I actually got off my butt and logged some road miles running. Yay me!
Maybe that's why I'm feeling drained. My body is confused as to what the hell is going on....

Today, I may even do something I NEVER do.
I think I shall watch mindless tv for the rest of the day.
Thank God for streaming video on my Kindle Fire. How did we live without such things back in the 80's and 90's?????

Anyway, enjoy your day!
I have some questions and answers to post tomorrow.
So, come back and join me while I'm on vacation!

Much Love, Mayhem and Murder,

Morgan

Happy Weekend!

Just popping in with my morning coffee to see how you are all doing.

Vacation is great and yes I'm still working. Blood Red Rage (book 1) is just about complete. It'll be done around Wednesday. I'm not really rushing through it, it's just I get up WAY before anyone else and have to have something to do.

Why not read a book? Yeah, I ask myself that question all the time. I have plans on catching up on my reading later this week.
What's on my book shelf you ask?

A lot of Heather Graham.
Some JD ROBB
Nora Roberts

I like easy reads that pull me in and make me forget that I should be working :)

As soon as the weather clears, I'll post beach pictures. Today is the final day of rain, then the next ten are looking fantastic.

Happy Summer all!


Much Love, Mayhem and Murder,

Morgan.
 

Greetings and salutaions...

Just another day in paradise. Vacation is going well and work is still being done.
I just got the first 11 chapters back for the Sacred Burial Grounds re-edit. The new editor has found a lot more mistakes, but they're being corrected and ready for the new release.

It should be sometime this weekend, possibly on Monday morning.
So Yay!

Other than that, I didn't get much writing done today. It was a day filled with chaos.
Mental note.. Do not buy your kids a trampoline before vacation. It causes them to not go away.
It leads to pouting and crankiness.
Lesson learned.

Tomorrow or later tonight, when the temperatures drop a little, I'll head outside with the laptop to begin working. My plan is to finish chapter 16 in Blood Red Rage. I'm loving the way it's heading so far, and it actually is coming together quite easy.
I won't know how I did with it until I do my first read through, sometime in October. Until then, I have other things on my plate.

Right now, Celestia is Falling and Vegas is Dying are on the schedule for an edit with the new editor. Then she's going to start on Christmas is Killing. (Which had it's first read through done already.)
Devil Hath Come (book 7) is in its final read through. It will be ready to go by October 1st. (This is the much anticipated book where we find out if I kill Ethan or Callen... and is a turning point in the series.)

Can I just say, Holy crap! Where has this year gone????? Wasn't it just Christmas???????
Anyway, more books coming this year.
Keep up the reviews on Good Reads and Amazon! I appreciate them!

Much love, Mayhem and Murder,

Morgan.

Morning all!

Greetings from vacation land.

Ahhhhh, it's finally here. So, what am I doing on my vacation?
I'm up at two in the morning and working.

Why?
Apparently, I'm a few bricks short of a full load. I couldn't sleep, so I decided to not waste the time (that and it's wrong to wake two kids up at two a.m. to play a rousing game of candy land and monopoly.)
Instead, I opted to read my email. (always fun and bittersweet). So, here are a couple that I'll share with you...

Morgan,
I love your books, especially the FBI series. I can't get enough of Callen, Ethan and Elizabeth, but now I have a big problem. I'm done with the books and find myself pacing the house waiting for the next one.
What can I do?
~ Liberty.

Okay, well, you can email me at two in the morning and maybe we can play scrabble, or you can read the Croft & Croft books that are out. I promise that there's another coming, but not until October 1st. It seems like a long way off, but I swear it will be here soon enough. I'll be posting the synopsis in a couple of weeks.
I won't torture you all too long :)


Morgan,
I read that you're starting a new series. Can you drop the deets?
Harper.

By deets, I hope you mean details, or I'm going to look old and so out of it....
I am starting a new series, and if you read a few blog entries back, you'll find out more. I'm spinning off Julian and Tori Littlemoon into their own private investigator series.
In fact, I'm halfway done with the book. It should be finished by the end of this month. (Again, while I'm on vacation... Yeah, I know.)
So, to keep you apprised, I'll have the FBI/Romance series, The Croft & Croft adventure series, The Littlemoon Investigation series and The 'Blood' series.
Yes, all going at one time.
I'm crazy like that.

Morgan,
I just found out that you write under M. Kelley, is that true? What books do you have coming out under that pen name?
Melissa

I do write under M. Kelley. My paranormal books are under that penname. I don't promote it, because the publisher that did my first book in 2009 for that series still owns the rights. Once I retain them back again and Black Cauldron Publishing gets them, that book will be out on kindle. (2016) It's a way off yet, but books 2-4 are on kindle right now. The plans are in the works to rerelease,  reedited and get them new covers.

I also have a trilogy in the works for another paranormal series. That first book is just about done and will headline the release, probably next year....

Morgan,
I love your blog. Like your writing, it's full of humor. You must be funny. Do you post all the questions that you get asked in email or do you pick and choose?
Irene

Thank you! As to the funny part, that's debatable. My friends think I'm funny. My son (4 years old) thinks I am, but my husband and preteen daughter don't... Go figure. As for the emails, I do post MOST of them. If someone sends me hate mail (yeah, I get it believe it or not) then I don't post them. I refuse to give people that are mean and cruel any attention.
I also don't post my prison love letters. They're too sexually explicit... (Me attempting humor. Again, husband not laughing.)

Thank you all for the questions, I'll keep answering them while I'm getting some sun on the beach. (if it stops raining...)

Back to work, er... I mean vacation.

Much Love, Mayhem and Murder,

Morgan.
 

You can please some of the people.....

Wow, today was a wild day in reviews.
As usual, Deep Dark Mire took a beating.
Why?
The threesome.

I'm to the point that I don't even want to look anymore at reviews. How do I, the writer, explain it any more clearer to people that are freaked out by a threesome?
It's fiction.
It's not real.
I created a world to make you think.
It's something you might not experience in life.
That's the point. I want you to relax, pick up a book and take a break from reality. I know the FBI procedures aren't 100 % accurate. I am well aware that two married people wouldn't be running the FBI. It's a made up world, with one point in mind.
Entertainment.

In the past two months, I've been called 'Immoral', and my books are incestuous. FALSE AND FALSE!  Or my favorite, 'I loved books 1-3 but after reading the reviews for 4- I don't like the direction because you can't love brothers at the same time.'
STOP judging a book by it's cover. STOP reading the reviews that are only bad and read the good ones too. Read it and decide for yourself!

I don't know why I'm surprised. I knew this would happen, since I was pushing something so far out of the comfort zone, but I really didn't think people would be this offended.
It's not real.
I'm not a happy home wrecker, and I didn't destroy Desdemona's life.
She doesn't exist anywhere but in my mind and on paper.

I appreciate people's opinions, but it's frustrating as the creator to watch 'my baby' get the shit kicked out of it because Callen's whiny and the threesome in the books.
Is that all you see when you read 190,000 words? Nothing more?
Well, here you go.
YES I KNOW HE IS WHINY!
I created him to be that way.
Why?
You find out in Devil Hath Come. Life is about to change for Elizabeth, Callen and Ethan. Something is coming that will shake them up and possibly the readers too. The weak become the strong and the strong are damaged. It all has a point. It's a matter of just continuing forward, even if you find something in the book you disagree with.

These books are a long term series, so they span YEARS of time. I can't make Callen whiny at the beginning of one book and solve it by the end. They'd be 5000 pages long. All I'm asking is a little patience and the leeway to tell the tale as it lives in my mind.
That's all....

I guess I need to accept the reality of it all.

Sometimes, REALITY sucks.

Much Love, Incestuous Mayhem and Murder,

Morgan.

PS. I'm kidding about the incestuous Mayhem part..
Really.





 

Blood Red Rage Cover reveal.

Hello all!
Happy Monday Mourning... (yeah, it's that kind of day!)
I hope that you had a great weekend and got in lots of reading!
I was busy, busy, busy!
As I'm prepping for my hiatus, I've realized that when you're in crunch mode, everything that can go wrong, will go wrong...
Alas, packing for two kids for a month away is pretty much like torture!

I did get a good deal of writing done this last week. Blood Red Rage (book 1) in the Littlemoon investigation series is more than 1/3 of the way done. It's moving quickly now, as I weave in the 'whodunit' and vamp up a few sex scenes. I had been anxious about writing this book, because I'm losing the FBI team to fall back on when I find I need comic relief in the book.

When I'm writing about Lyzee or Emma, I can always go to a fun character to lighten the drama or mood, but with Blood Red Rage, I'm starting at the beginning all over again. So, no Doctor Leonard and his body parts, no Tony Magnus and his 'show and tell'.

It's been a challenge, but I have to say, I'm loving it. I haven't written the synopsis yet, but I can give you an idea of what it's going to be about. This is the first book in the Tori and Julian series, and we are watching them as they build their new business. As private investigators, they've found that business is picking up and requires a great deal of their time. It needs to, since they have four other employees that rely on them. (I think you'll recognize most of them from the FBI/Romance series)

Littlemoon Investigations has been hired to find a missing woman. Only, things are nothing like they thought them to originally be. Plus, I've introduced Detective Vivian Graves. She works finding the lost, and she has one hell of a secret and a new found appreciation for the Native form. (Justin Littlemoon- Julian's brother, gets a girl!)

As they race to find the missing woman, they are trapped in the madness of a serial abductor, who just can't stop at one collected prize.

I've taken this series a different route.
(For those of you worried that I'll be dropping a threesome in this book with Justin, Julian and Tori, fear not- It's not happening. In book one, Justin gets the love of his life and Tori and Julian are as happy as ever)
Often, I get emails telling me I should throw some psychic mojo into the books, and I've opted to do just that. I can't tell you where or how, so you'll have to wait until January :)
Sorry...

Why ruin the fun before you get to read it?
But I will show you the cover because I love you all so much!
It was my inspiration for this book.

I'm not sure how big this book is going to be. I'd love to write a mega novel like the FBI Series or Croft & Croft, but I'm not sure how big it's going to end up. Like I always say, these novels write themselves. I'm just the vessel from which it flows. If I were to guess, I'd say it's going to be around 400 pages.

Anyway, back to packing and work. I'll be posting all through vacation from the sandy beaches of Myrtle, so, if you see a tattooed woman sitting on the beach with a blood red laptop... chances are it's me.
Stop and say hi!

Much love, Mayhem and Murder,

Morgan.

PS. Sacred Burial Grounds is now 1/4 of the way edited and should be done sometime next week. Look for the brand new cover.

I know i'm supposed to be on vacation...

but I had a few hours of down time. (I know... when????) So, I began writing the first book in the Julian and Tori series.

Blood Red Rage (book 1) is now in production. I have a few days before I leave for the beach, so i'm going to get as much done as I can before I go. So, if all things go well, we're looking at the first book out for the new year!
YAY!
For a while I was worried if I was going to be able to get the work done, with the new FBI and Croft & Croft books slotted, but I figured out a way to squish it into the schedule!
Can anyone say compulsive work-aholic?
Yeah, that would be me.

SO, anyway...
I will keep you updated, but as of now, It's on it's merry way to creation!
This series won't have as much killing in it, it will be more focused on other crimes, since it's not an FBI thriller.

I hope you all love it! I'm giving Kane Redwolf (From Darkness of Truth) and Christina Hart (From the FBI series) their story.
BUT WAIT! How am I doing that?
Well, I guess you'll have to read Devil Hath Come (book 7) that comes out on October 1st to find the answer to that one....

Happy last few weeks of summer!

Much Love, Mayhem and Murder,

Morgan.

Update on Sred Burial Grounds

Morning all!

Just popping in to tell you all that Sacred Burial Grounds is being re-released sometime in the next two weeks. There's a full edit going on and a brand new cover!

So, if you have the first edition, be ready to have Amazon push through the new version around the 24th. I'll leave a post here when it's available!

Have a really good day!

Much Love, Mayhem and Murder,

Morgan.

Happy Vacation to me!

Hi all!
I decided that I'm going on vacation a little earlier than planned! So, if you are emailing me your questions or comments and I don't answer, no worries! I'll reply to them when I'm back from my trip.

I may even post some beach pictures.
(Hopefully, they won't be of me working on the beach!!!!)
Hello Myrtle Beach, here I come!

Everyone have a good rest of August!

See you in September for the next book!


Much Love, Mayhem and Murder,

Morgan.

Devil Hath Come...

I'm happy to report that I managed to get everything done with Devil Hath Come before I leave for vacation. It's been edited and proofed thoroughly and going for it's read through to find any little mistakes.
I've revamped the process to cut down on missing errors in the books before they become released, so I'm hoping that this makes the entire thing less difficult and time consuming. We've added another proofreader to the process to put another set of eyes on the book. Team Morgan Kelley is slowly growing!
Let's hope it works!

I got some great emails the last two days. Thank you all for sending them to me!

Here's a few;

Morgan,
I've been reading your books. I have just finished reading Fire Burns Hot. I really enjoy the books wasn't sure about the threesome between Ethan, Elizabeth and Callen. I love reading about them. Also Julian and Tori. I hope the woman M.E. doesn't come back and ruin things.
Coleen

Oh, don't you worry, Coleen. I took care of Desdemona.... Julian and Tori will have their own series next year. I promise...


 Ms. Kelley,
When are the next books coming out? I'm addicted! I love Greyson. I may want to marry his brother myself!
Jessica

Jessica, Devil Hath Come (Book 7) will be released on October 1st.
I was going to release it on October 15th, but I want a full month before Halloween.
Next will be Christmas is Killing (book 3) in the Croft & Croft series. It's going to be released on or around November 1st.
Once that one is out, I'll begin writing Consumed by Wrath (book 8) of the FBI/Romance series and Love is Bleeding (book 4) of the Croft & Croft series. I may also toss in a Julian and Tori book too. It depends on my schedule and the holidays.

Last year, I worked through Christmas. In fact, I was just finishing True Love Lost on Christmas Eve, right before I was walking out the door to see family.
I won't be doing that this year. I'm taking the week before Christmas and after off to just be a mom.

Morgan,
What upsets you most when you get a negative review? I saw some pretty mean ones out there.
I think people are taking it way too serious.
Betty

The threesome slamming doesn't really bother me. I'm okay with people not wanting to read books that make them uncomfortable. I think what upsets me about that is when they tell me I 'ruined Elizabeth and Ethan' for them. No, they ruined it for themselves by taking it too serious. This is fiction, and the characters don't really exist. So, how can I ruin their lives? I give everyone fair warning that the FBI/Romance series is going to have a threesome in it. Each book is tagged appropriately, so if people are clueless and don't read the book description, well, that's on them. Not me.
You can lead a horse to water, but you can't make them drink.
My job is to make the reader have fun, think and live in a fantasy for a short period of time. If I bend the rules every once and a while when it comes to FBI procedures, well, I can. It's fiction. FBI West doesn't really exist.
I write fiction, not true crime...

I guess what really bothers me is the editing comments, because no matter how many times a team goes through it, there's going to be mistakes. I've read Nora Roberts books with errors in it. (Specifically JD ROBB books.) and she goes through a MAJOR publisher.
I would love to pay someone thousands of dollars to edit my books to perfection, but then I have to charge 14.99 a book. Who is that going to hurt?
The Reader.
There are always going to be critics, and if the missing comma or the misused word bothers you, then close the book and find a new author. (Yes, that sounds bitchy, but like Lyzee, I call it how I see it.) We're all trying our best, and I put out 10 books since last September, at 500 pages and 180,000 words each. That's 5000 pages and 1.8 million words. Most authors put out 3 max a year and they are 300 page books.
I love to make everyone happy, but that's not always possible.
For now, we're working on cleaning up the books that are out and making sure that the new ones are as close to perfect as we can get them.

Okay, back to work. I have a million things to do before hiatus begins! It's almost beach time!

YAY!

Much Love, Mayhem and Murder,

Morgan.






 

Fire Burns Hot...

Hi all!

Just popping in to let you know that Fire Burns Hot (book 5) is getting ready to re-release with a new cover and edit sometime this weekend.
If you previously have the cover with the fire and hearts, please contact Amazon customer service NEXT weekend to get a manual push through with the new story.
The plot is the same, but the editing is cleaned up and ready to go!
(for paperbacks, the new edition won't be ready until this week some time)

I apologize for the copious amount of errors in that first edition. All the 'he' and 'she's have been fixed, along with the missing words and spelling issues. I can assure you that it won't happen again, and from here on out, the books will be released with new editing practices!

Also, the other books are now going through the editing process line by line to fix all the mistakes.

Make sure you get your new edition with a great new cover and cleaner content!!!

Much Love, Mayhem and Murder,

Morgan.

Vegas...

I hope you're all enjoying Vegas is Dying! I had some awesome feedback via email! I can't wait for you all to finish the book and read the follow up book Christmas is Killing!
I thought I would post a few of your comments or questions here;


Morgan,
I just finished Celestia is Falling and I am in LOVE! Greyson Croft is HOT! I love how you made
him so very strong and crazy about Emma.  I already bought Vegas is Dying and I stayed up late last night reading. I liked your FBI series, but I love the Croft & Croft series. Thank you for bringing Curtis back! He's funny!
Keep writing! I love your humor and your books!
Susan

Susan, I love Curtis too! He makes me chuckle. I love that he's Greyson's surrogate little brother. I will tell you that Dante is going to be in book 4, so Greyson will have two 'brother's' to look out for...

Morgan,
I just finished Vegas is Dying and I don't think I can wait until Christmas time. Can you please give us a few hints what you have coming? I Love that you are trying to have someone make Greyson Croft dirty. (Although, we know that won't ever happen!) Him and Emma are perfect together. Don't change a thing!
Barbara

Barbara, here's a hint: Nothing is going to be what it appears to be. Greyson and Emma will have an unlikely ally and a more sinister enemy that is willing to spill blood...

Morgan,
I read your FBI Series, and while I enjoyed it, I have to say that I love your Croft & Croft series even more! It's refreshing! There is something so sensual about Greyson Croft and how possessive he is of his 'woman'. I love it! I was torn at the end when Emma called Mr. Mason by his first name. I have a feeling he's going to be a problem in the next book!
Can you release it early? I think tomorrow is a perfect date!
Please keep doing what you do!
Amy

Amy, I wrote this series to alleviate some of the 'freakout' from the other series. Not everyone likes the threesome sex. It was a perfect storm to create that series and it WILL NOT be happening ever again. While I love Elizabeth, Ethan and Callen, they have their story and i'm not going to replicate it. It will cheapen it if I have threesome after threesome with every set of characters. I did it once and that's great. Now, I plan on giving the other readers what they wanted. A straight romance with interesting characters that begin flawed and have to work through it to find resolution.
HINT: Randall Mason will have a deep impact in the next two books...

Morgan,
 I love you. Let me just say that off the top. Want to be my best friend? If you were, then you could tell me what's happening in the next book. I know, I'm just using you to find out where you're taking the book after Vegas is Dying, but I reaaaaaallllllllllyyyyyyyy need to know! I don't think I can wait until Christmas.
Can you tell us anything? Oh, and if you need anyone to brainstorm with, I will volunteer my services!
Toni

Toni, You're better off not being my best friend. I don't play well with others! HAHAHAHA I will tell you what's happening in the next book. It's Christmas, someone is trying to break Greyson and we all know there is ONLY one way to do that. Now, think about it....  I can promise by the end of the book, you will be writing me another email dying to know what the hell I was thinking! (no worries people, I don't mean as in sex. I put a twist in the plot regarding the dirty dealings of Vegas)
As for brainstorming, I've decided that I'm no longer telling anyone where I'm taking the books. I plan on going with my gut and just doing it! I think that makes it more impactful.

As usual, I love your emails. They make me laugh! I can't tell you too much about the next book, because that would ruin it for you. I will tell you that it will be out in November. I am aiming for Nov, 1st. It has already had a first read through and had two people beta read it, just to make sure there aren't any holes in it. That being said, it's going forward and will be out before you know it.
I will tell you this, it's the catalyst for the game changer. I LOVE a twist that no one sees coming, so prepare yourself for the first chapter and the last one to catch you off guard.

In Christmas is Killing, Emma and Greyson are closer to finding out who is the big 'corruptor' in Vegas. They want Greyson to be well aware who is 'King' of the strip. They're ready to play hardball and Emma and Grey have no choice but to play along. There will be allies made and enemies watching their every move. It's going to set up the follow up book for 2014, Love is Bleeding (book 4) HINT: The title may or may not be a clue as to what's ahead...

Just sayin'

Okay, I have to get back to work. Devil Hath Come is just about there and I want to wrap it up and head to the beach. I may be posting pictures of Morgan's month-long adventure.

As always, keep emailing and don't forget to leave a review on Amazon and Good Reads!

Much Love, Mayhem and Murder,

Morgan.







 

Something that I don't always do...

Rarely, do I promote other writers on my blog, only because I don't want to backlash if someone disagrees with their work, but today I'm breaking that rule.

My author friend, KC Cavanaugh, is going to be giving away Eternal Beginnings on Amazon on 8/9 for free. It's a cute little pre-story for the books she has coming out. I've read it and enjoyed it, so for anyone that comes here and reads my blog that enjoys YA and paranormal, check it out.
We all love something that's free!

You can find it here on Amazon.
or pop on over to her blog and check out her other works. You can also find her on Facebook.


Back to work I go!

Much love, mayhem and murder,

Morgan.
 

And the countdown begins...

Hi all!
Just dropping in to update you on what's going on in my little world.

I'm wrapping up the final read through for Devil Hath Come (book 7). I'm about 270 pages in and that's the halfway point. It's going to be edited and then shipped off to proofing.

I'm also going to start the corrections on Christmas is Killing (book 3).

I'm in the home stretch for the year. I leave for Myrtle beach in three weeks, I'll be down there for about a month, so if anyone has any fun things that I NEED to see, drop me a comment or email.

When I return, I'll be starting up on the next two books that will be coming out in the beginning of the year. The next one in the FBI/Romance series is going to be entitled Consumed by Wrath (book 8). I'm aiming for around Valentines day or the end of Feb.
This book is going to deal with the fall out of Devil Hath Come. We're going to see how Elizabeth's life changes after the last book.
(I can't tell you more. Sorry. I don't want to start an uprising before the next book is even out!) I know there have been quite a few emails wondering if I'm going to kill Callen or Ethan off, and that's addressed in Devil Hath Come.
So, the Valentines day book will be dealing with the fall out of what has happened in their lives.

After that, I will be writing the next Croft & Croft book. Love is Bleeding (book 4). I'm going to mess with the lives of all the people in this one. It's going to either show us that love is stronger than anything in the world, or ultimately our downfall. AGAIN, for those of you that were freaked out by the threesome, I promise nothing that drastic in this series. I plan on pushing it a little, but no fears, Emma and Greyson are each other's one true love and that's not going to be played around with in this series. There will never ever ever ever ever ever ever ever be a threesome in their future.
Soul mates and one and only one true love.

Cross my heart....

Also on the agenda for next year is the release of the Julian and Tori Littlemoon spin off series.
I also have another series in the works. It may only be a three book trilogy, but i'll know more by the summer.

Again, this ends my year, so thank you for a great run.

Here's my promise for next year.
I swear I will make you think.
I vow to make you feel.
and I will try to keep you entertained!

Much Love, Mayhem and Murder,

Morgan.
