The Bleeding Heart is available for PRE-ORDER on Amazon!

I am so excited! I had no idea that Amazon allowed pre-order status for independently published books. :) Apparently, I've done something special to qualify for pre-order status. LOL At least, I like to think I'm special. The point is, I can now list my books up to 90 days before their release dates. This is awesome! That means that readers can go ahead and order them while they are thinking about it, and don't have to worry about remembering a release date. Plus, it takes a load off my mind about getting the books uploaded EXACTLY on time.

Most of my books end up being released about a day early. It's not that I'm wishy-washy or anything. When you upload to Amazon through KDP, you are told that it takes anywhere from 12-24 hours for your book to go live on the site. When I tell readers a date, I like to stick to that. I'm all about being on schedule. With this new pre-order thing, Amazon will make sure the book goes live precisely when it is supposed to. I am thrilled about that.

I'm so glad I had the cover art and everything ready ahead of time. :) Now, all I've got to do is be sure to upload the finished product by Sept. 21st. I'm almost finished with my final read-through now. So, provided that my editor/partner in crime doesn't make any more corrections, we'll be in business for the October 1st release date.

Here are all the details on The Bleeding Heart.

****This title is currently available for PRE-ORDER. The official release date is October 1, 2014.****

This is Book Six in the Lilith Mercury, Werewolf Hunter Series.

Lilith is finally coming to terms with who she is and the powers she's inherited. For the first time she accepts her scars, the ones you can see and the ones you can't. Her relationship with Dracula progresses as Marco continues to decide where he stands. Marco is slowly learning what Lilith already knows. He belongs with her, as does Dracula...and maybe Bade too.

Warning: This book contains graphic violence, graphic language, and sex. Plus several sexy werewolves, and one smoking hot vampire.

On a side note, thank you so much for everyone who has written to ask about the next book in the series. There will be one final book after this one, After Dark. That one is coming in January, 2015. It does my heart good to know that a story that I love so much is also loved by so many others. :)

Quick Update

I have been really, really busy lately. I just finished a new short story for The Naughty Box 2 called "Beautiful Nightmare." It's about a witch and The Boogeyman, and I loved writing it. That should be out sometime in July.

Now, I'm back to work on the 7th book in the Lilith Mercury series. As I've said before, I want to have time to read through both 6 and 7 to check for continuity before The Bleeding Heart (Book 6) is released this October. 

Anyway, I thought I would share links here to all the books in the series that are currently available. I get letters fairly often from people who don't realize that books 4 and 5 are already out. :)

So, here they are, and thank you very much for reading my books. I am thrilled to hear that people are enjoying this series, because I love to write it.

This is a collection of the first three books in the Lilith Mercury, Werewolf Hunter series. This series focuses on the life of Lilith Mercury, a werewolf Hunter who is also half werewolf. Did I mention there are several sexy men in her life? This story has graphic violence, and graphic sex. It also has a new take on the origins of werewolves and vampires. There are many ups and downs in Lilith’s life and much more to come. 

This series gets hotter as it goes. No werewolves were harmed in the making of this series. 

This set includes: 

1. Red 

2. Object of My Affection 

3. The Dread Moon

This is Book Four in the Lilith Mercury, Werewolf Hunter series.

Peter was Lilith's first love--and the first person to call her a monster. Despite their past, Lilith would save him if she could, but when Peter is infected with lycanthropy and becomes determined to challenge Marco for the position of lupinus regalis, wolf king, she faces a hard choice.

Warning: This book contains graphic sex, graphic violence, and graphic language. No werewolves were harmed in the making of this book.

This is Book Five in the Lilith Mercury, Werewolf Hunter series. 

Lilith's life is starting to work out for a change. Her relationship with alpha werewolf Marco is going great. There's only one problem: Dracula is dying. Not from lack of blood, but for her love. Dracula would never ask Lilith to risk her happiness for him and so he suffers in silence. That is until Lilith finds out. She must come to terms with her feelings for Dracula and realize that the vampire is just as much a part of her as Marco. But if she accepts this, where does that leave the wolf king?"

WARNING: This book contains graphic violence, graphic language, and graphic sex with more than one partner. Oh, and more wicked sexy characters than can be listed here.

I'm working as fast as I can

I get a lot of emails asking about the next book in the Lilith series, and that's awesome. While I do my best to get back with everyone, I thought it might be easier if I answered some general questions here.

The Bleeding Heart, Book 6, is scheduled for release in October. I know it's a while to wait, but quality takes time. Self-publishing has a bad enough rap without me not giving a book the attention it deserves before I put it out for the public. The draft for this one is already finished, but I also have to wait for my editor to read it. We'll probably both read it several more times before it is released.

I'm currently working on the seventh and final book in the series, After Dark. I want to have time to finish the first draft of this book and read straight through books 6 and 7 to check for continuity. Since this will finish up the series, I want to be sure I don't leave anything out. 

I have been writing this series off and on since 2006 and I want it to finish in the same spirit that it began. In order to do that, I need time.

I have other projects in the works. Plus, writing is my full-time job. I manage my own website as well as plan my marketing and other financial matters. That all takes time as well. 

On a more personal note, I have been under a tremendous amount of stress. This also slows down the writing process because I don't want my stress level to interfere with the quality of my work. So, I keep taking a step back and making sure everything is what it should be. Today for example, has been horrible. This is the first I've gotten to sit down at the computer and it is nearly 5 p.m. Oh, and we've got company coming over later. That gives me exactly 2 hours to write something and (hopefully) get a shower. 

My point is, I'm working as fast as I can and I do my best to write every day. I don't want people to think that I set a date in October just to be a dick. LOL I've got a lot of other things going on. Plus, I have this other thing called a life that I need to devote some more attention to. I've got a family and two dogs. There are many things that I'm responsible for and I try to do them all well.

I love these characters like another part of myself. So, when I take my time in finishing the series, it's not to piss anyone off, it's to give my friends the farewell that they deserve.
