Cruising through Amazon yesterday, I happened across a very cool surprise - Rock Bottom is now in print! Yay!
I have a few signings coming up this fall, so this is great timing. Thanks Kensington/Lyrical! :)
And the sale is great timing too. Tonight is the July blue moon, so watch your skies for this full moon, supposedly the last blue moon until 2018. It coincides with the sale on my contemporary, Twice In A Blue Moon.
Only 99 cents for a limited time, so hurry and grab yours! The universe must want you to read it! ;)
August 1 is tomorrow!
Soon I'm going to put together a summer newsletter. If you'd like to keep up with quarterly news and events, sign up using the box to the right of this post.
Have a great weekend!

The goddesses are united!
The print proof for Goddess, Inflamed arrived! I've made a few tweaks to it, and to Goddess, Spellbound, and have sent for the second set of proofs for both. They appeared fine online, but until you page through the actual book, sometimes you don't know for sure.
So now the goddesses are united! With the power of three, who knows what can happen...

Goddess, Spellbound is in print!
Woo hoo! It's finally here! The print version of Goddess, Spellbound arrived. I could have kissed the UPS man. :)
And it looks pretty good! I'm not completely sold on the matte finish cover, though. Have you ever bought a book with a matte cover? I think I'll change it to glossy, if only to protect it from smudging.
Doesn't the Chairman look happy? lol Shh, he thinks that's *him* on the cover. Next, he'll want us to start worshiping him like the ancient Egyptians worshiped cats.
So if you'd like to order a copy, it's on Amazon now. :)
And now I can't wait to get my proof copy for Goddess, Inflamed!

Busy, busy, busy!
I'm really excited about some events coming up this fall. First is York Book Expo on Oct. 17 in York, Pa. Sounds like a fairly large event, and should be lots of fun.
I'm also working out deets for an event in Harrisburg at Books A Million with two other authors. Nothing's finalized yet, but I'll let you know. :)
To get ready for York Book Expo, I set up a print version of Goddess, Spellbound in Create Space. The proof is supposed to arrive by next Friday. I can't wait to hold it in my hot little hands! And make sure it's as perfect as can be, of course.
Next up for Create Space is Goddess, Inflamed. Then I'll have all three Goddess Connection books in print! Woot!
I was going to set up Death Is A Bitch, too, as it's now almost 50k after the rewrite. But I noticed a publisher who considers previously published stories, and took a chance on subbing it. Fingers crossed!
I also subbed two other novellas, so now have three submissions out, and the waiting begins. Both guidelines say 12-16 weeks, so it will be awhile.
Which is fine, because I went back to another story I'd started. Actually, I'd written 50k but still had a long way to go. I'm finding it a bit difficult to get back into the main character's head. She has a unique voice, which is typical for a feisty warrior heroine. I'm really excited about this story and want to stick with it to the end without pausing again. Stay in the flow and write!
So how's your summer going? Are you busy or spending some lazy days in the sun?

Do You Want Me by Nancy Fraser
Do You Want Me
by Nancy Fraser
He
braced himself for another verbal attack on his appearance. Yet, she stopped
short when the door to O’Malley’s office opened and both Jason and his younger
brother, Billy,
stepped back into the bar.
Billy
O’Malley’s look of anger at being called a ‘baby’ was probably no more comical
than the look of surprise on his own face. Bodyguard to a spoiled rich kid was
not what he’d had in mind when he’d asked O’Malley for a job.
by Nancy Fraser
Decorated
war hero Reece Michaels agrees to go undercover in order to bring down the
Irish Mob. In return, the civilian life he’s coveted for the past six years
will be returned to him.
Hired
by mob boss Sean O’Malley to protect his youngest son, Reece soon discovers the
young man needs more protection from his own family than its enemies.
What
Reece doesn’t count on is his instant attraction to the police chief’s
beautiful and willing daughter. Abby Mackenzie is the younger sister of a woman
with whom Reece once had a torrid affair. He’s determined to not give in to
Abby’s come-hither ways. After all, one Mackenzie woman was more than enough.

Author Bio
Like most authors, Nancy began
writing at an early age, usually on the walls and with crayons or, heaven
forbid, permanent markers. Her love of writing often made her the English
teacher’s pet, which, of course, resulted in a whole lot of teasing. Still, it
was worth it.
Published in multiple genres, Nancy
currently writes for four publishers. She has published twenty-two books in
both full-length and novella format. Nancy is currently working on a
Valentine’s story for 2016, her next Rock and Roll novella, the third McCade
Legacy book and a second fairy tale for Decadent Publishing.
When not writing (which is almost
never), Nancy dotes on her five beautiful grandchildren and looks forward to
traveling and reading when time permits. Nancy lives in Atlantic Canada where
she enjoys the relaxed pace and colorful people.

Excerpt
Reece
sat at the end of the long, mahogany bar nursing two fingers of Scotch.
“The
boss is finishing up with some family business,” the bartender told him.
“Thanks,
Eddie. I’m in no hurry.” He tossed back another mouthful of the hot, amber
liquid and turned on the wooden stool to survey the room. Besides Eddie, the
middle-aged bartender, three other ‘associates’ of O’Malley’s camped out in
different corners of the half-empty bar. Obviously, O’Malley’s wealth was not
dependent on his drinking clientele.
The
door to the back office opened and a young woman stepped over the threshold.
She looked vaguely familiar. As discreetly as he could manage, given the lack
of a crowd, he studied her face. She smiled at him and then walked slowly in
his direction. The gentle sway of her slim hips drew his attention like a
magnet.
“Reece
Michaels?” Her voice, a husky mix of warm honey and expensive whiskey,
literally melted over his name. “Is it really you?”
“Uh….”
She
laughed softly and tossed her head, her auburn curls swishing from side to
side, dusting her silk-clad shoulders. When she met his gaze, her amber eyes
widened. “Abby. Abby Mackenzie. You know my sister Lily and, as an unwelcome
result, my dad.”
The
breath he’d held came out on a whoosh. “My, my, haven’t you grown up? And quite
nicely, I might add.”
“And
you look like crap.”
Laughter
bubbled up in his chest, but he tamped it down. “Thanks, I think.”
She
made a show of waving her hand in a circle in front of his face. “What’s with
the scraggly beard and God-awful slicked-back hair? If I remember correctly,
and I’m sure I do, you used to be good-looking, in a clean-cut sort of way.”
“And
you used to have freckles and braces. We all change.”
Billy
was exactly as Reece remembered him. Shorter and slighter of build than his older
brother, he looked as if a good gust of wind would knock him down. His hair,
blond rather than the O’Malley red, framed an unsmiling, pensive face.
With
a rough nudge, Jason shoved Billy until he stood beside the bar where Reece and
Abby were waiting.
“This
is Reece Michaels. He’s the new guy Pops was telling you about,” Jason said,
nodding in Reece’s direction. “Reece, you remember my baby brother, Billy,
don’t you? Pops wants you to be his new bodyguard.”
Fun Book Fact
Like The Devil’s Sooty Brother, the Grimm
fairy tale on which the book is based, Do You Want Me was written entirely
in the hero’s point of view … even the absolutely decadent love scenes!
