I’m remiss in announcing that I sold a novella to Samhain Publishing. Yes indeed I sold Fortune’s Promise, which is the second book in my lottery series (first book was Fortune’s Deception).

This one is Maddie’s story. The final book in the series will be Lauren’s story. I’ve entitled it Fortune’s Luck. I need to, ahem, write it (lovely editor don’t worry I will get it to you when I promised!).

Here’s the *unofficial* blurb for Fortune’s Promise:

A one night stand with a famous musician might be just what Maddie’s looking for. Even though she won the lottery a year ago, she’s bored, unfulfilled and looking for something, anything to fill the void.

Tanner Robinson’s looking for one night of casual sex and finds Maddie. So beautiful, so sweet and sexy yet the undeniable connection he feels with her scares him. Desperate to keep it casual, he can’t. He wants more with Maddie and suspects she feels the same way.

A single mistake will cost them nearly everything. Can Tanner redeem himself before it’s too late?

And I got a peek at my cover for my upcoming release at Ellora’s Cave, Hidden. I’ll share that too once I’ve been given the green light.

Anything new and exciting with you?
