And then there were 39...

This morning, my 39th solo novel released on Amazon. Thirty-nine. If you’d have asked me if I thought I’d have accomplished that many solo stories in July 2014 when my first novel released I never would have believed it.

Yet, here I am.

Each and every release is as exhilarating and terrifying as the last. There is no “getting used to it.” Every book is a little part of me, and sending it off into the world is scary. On the plus, I bet I’ll be fantastic at sending the kiddo off when he’s 18 after all this practice. Thankfully, he just turned 3 so I’ve got a ways to wait.

Once Hexed, Twice Shy actually began 2 years ago and was shelved due to other series and a lack of time as a brand new mom. Then, I had the opportunity to join a UF boxset and knew I had to finish it.

The problem? The story could only be 60k max and I was looking at 25k with just the first few chapters. Suddenly, Hexed and Dangerous was born and it utterly changed the dynamic of the Hexed in New Orleans series. My characters have a crazy backstory that I never imagined two years ago. But you’ll have to read the books to learn more because my lips are sealed!

Today, the first official book in the series released. To date, my releases are small quiet affairs. This time, I saw preorders that outdid my normal release day sales! The pressure was on but I loved every minute of it.

Get hexed with this teaser!

“I already have a ring,” Sam muttered, thinking about the carat solitaire diamond still sitting in a drawer upstairs. It belonged to his mother, and when she’d passed, she’d left it to him in her will.
“Nope, that’s a blood ring.”
“What?”
“It’s dirty. Tainted. From before. You’re a different person. You still love her and she still loves you, but you’re different. Don’t give her something from the past. Go get her something from right this minute – well – right after we vanquish the bad guy and the stores are open.”
Sam knew his jaw hung open. “What have you done with Tanner Grey?”
“I’m here. I’ve been rooting for you to get your head on straight when it comes to Lita since the day you came crying to me about a spilled potion. Just because I like a string of meaningless nights doesn’t mean I don’t have the potential to be a fantastic boyfriend.”
“Well, shit, I’m impressed. And shocked. I’ve known you for almost twenty years, and I don’t think I’ve ever heard anything even remotely that meaningful come from your mouth.”
Tanner smirked. “Don’t underestimate. I’m just saving it all up for when I meet the perfect woman.”
Sam rolled his eyes. Tanner had a checklist damn near a mile long that he’d been using since college to keep women from becoming even remotely permanent in his life. Lita had been the closest girlfriend Tanner ever had. No wonder he missed her.
