A FB Party ~ #Giveaways #Giftcards #Books + Prizes! #Author Takeover

I'm excited to be doing a takeover of Kylie's Fiction Addiction Facebook page this Friday night!  What's a takeover?  Basically, I get to host a fun virtual party for both my fans and fans of the page for an hour, with giveaways, prizes, fun questions, and opportunities to make new friends and find new reads.  And it's a chance to celebrate the release of my steamy romance/ghost story Gull Harbor as an audio book.  Gull Harbor has been a #1 Bestseller on Kindle and Nook formats, so I'm thrilled it's now available in audio! 

A party to celebrate the release of Gull Harbor on audio!

If you've never been to a Facebook party, give it a try!  My takeover begins March 9th at 9 pm EST, and the best parts of a virtual party are (1) you can wear your pajamas and (2) if you're not online during the party hour from 9:00 - 10:00, you can still chime in for chances to win on your own time.  Here's the Event Invite for more info: Event Info on Facebook.

What's up for grabs?

Amazon gift cards, copies of Kindle or Nook formats of my novels, audio copies of Gull Harbor, and an ebook of your choice from any of the authors of Moonlight & Mystery! And, some bling...these beautiful drop earrings from Silpada!

One prizewinner will get to chose any ebook from the dozens offered by
9 Award-winning, Bestselling Authors!

Plus, meeting new authors and readers and fun games ~ so come by, and invite some friends along too!  It's a free event, all you have to do is join Kylie's Fiction Addiction Facebook page to attend.

Hope to see you there!

HAUNTED SOULS up for PreOrder! Steamy #Romance + #Ghost Mystery #Kindle

It's almost here!  HAUNTED SOULS, my fourth novel, releases on June 1 from The Wild Rose Press! Pre-order this steamy military romance/ghost mystery now on Kindle to have it download automatically on June 1st, just in time for beach weather (fingers crossed - it's been a chilly spring here on Cape Cod).

Four years ago, Emily Shea and Staff Sergeant Brett Leeds agreed to part with no strings attached. Sparks flew during their brief affair, but fate intervened, sending Brett overseas. When an unexpected pregnancy derailed Emily’s own plans, her attempts to locate Brett were soon overwhelmed by the challenges of single motherhood. Now, Brett has returned home, and Emily is forced to share her secret.

Despite feeling betrayed, Brett is determined to forge a relationship with their son, Tyler. As the former lovers battle both their inner demons and their mutual desire, another presence enters their lives—Tyler’s imaginary friend.

Soon, however, the chilling evidence points to a different conclusion: a ghost has formed a dangerous connection with their son. Emily’s attempts to help both a lost soul and a friend in need spiral toward a deadly confrontation, and Brett must race to save Emily before he loses her again—forever.

My #Kindle Book Disappeared...and I'm So Excited! #amwriting #romance #ghosts #NA

Last week I announced some exciting news...my debut novel, SILVER LAKE, was purchased by Amazon's traditional publishing house for their Encore imprint, which acquires "extraordinary" previously published books with untapped sales potential.  Amazon is a reputable publisher with fantastic marketing, and I'm thrilled to be a part of this line dedicated to "hidden gems".

My second-chance romance is getting a second publisher!

I have a release date--August 25th--but I just noticed yesterday that the Kindle version of my book has disappeared.  Now, I admit I panicked for a moment, and then I realized what was going on.  Amazon will now own exclusive rights to the book; as a result, it will no longer be available in any other competing format.  Plus, they make a few changes to the "new" books before putting them back up for Pre-Sale under Encore's Imprint...for example, a new ASIN will be assigned.

So panic turned to excitement once I figured out this was a sign things were moving forward! And since a number of romance authors from the former publisher were also selected for this program, those of us with the same release date have decided to celebrate with a big online Facebook party on 8/25!  Ten authors will host an all-day event, chatting about books, writing, romance, suspense, and giving away tons of PRIZES!  Raffles every hour, all day long...and you can come in and comment at any point to enter.  So come Join the party!  Here's the invite page, hope to see you there!  LINK
