Happy Tuesday Everybody, Status report:  Book Three, Immortal Love (of the Immortal Dreams Trilogy) is over halfway written. It's not yet as far along as I'd like, but it's making progress, which is good. Unfortunately sinus/migraine headache issues, and some other stuff got in the way this past week of me getting much writing in, so I'm trying to do much better this week. I'm relieved to tell you my headaches are better. Book Two of Immortal Dreams Trilogy:  Book Two, Astral Love , will release in the Fall of this year. From the schedule I received from my publisher it looks like some time in October (Ooo! Looks like a birthday present for moi. What do you all think?) Facebook:  There is now a Facebook page for the Immortal Dreams Trilogy. If you "Like" the page you will be able to keep up with updates. Things that will be exclusively posted there! (Such as Teaser #2 is already posted there) and cameo appearances from characters Laney an...

Happy Monday All, How was everyone's 4th of July? Mine was interesting. It rained here, but it let up enough that there were fireworks around. I turned on PBS and watched a little of the Capitol Hill celebration. Today it's my pleasure to introduce to you all fellow Soul Mate Publishing author, Larynn Ford. Larynn was kind enough to agree to a "blog swap" with me. Over the weekend she featured me on her blog and I agreed to do the same for her (I just try not to post on the weekends--especially since I was trying to get some writing in. I did get some in--not as much as I wanted, but I got some).   Larynn Ford began reading romance in her early teens and became interested in writing in high school. She’s a daydreamer and a romantic who is intrigued by the paranormal and loves to let her mind wander ,   always searching for a happily ever after ending to her dreams. She began reading with a renewed passion in 2006, fell in love with romance all over a...

Happy Thursday Everybody, Wow! It feels like ages since I updated my blog. I have been swamped, darling readers! For 2 weeks I was dealing with health issues--mine and family's, and edits, and real life. But me and the family are now well, and the edits got in, and while real life is still busy, I have some space to finally post a new blog post...and what a perfect reason! Today I am overjoyed to announce my New Adult (NA) Paranormal Romance (first in a trilogy),  Immortal Dreams Book One: Divine Love is now available for your reading pleasure on Amazon Kindle!! To say I'm happy is an understatement. *Insert huge smile and giddy feelings here* Below you can read the blurb: Laney Alberts should be enjoying her senior year of high school. Instead, she’s mourning the death of her beloved father—her hero. Even after a year without him, she still feels directionless.  Things take a complete one-eighty when she literally walks into Jason Magnus, the hot, new guy at ...

Happy Tuesday (well almost Wednesday), I'm so excited! Thrilled beyond believe. Late in the evening Tuesday night, All's Fair In Love & Lion went "live" on Amazon Kindle!! Thank you to Soul Mate Publishing for publishing it! You all have been so helpful. I really appreciate it. You can buy it by clicking right here .  Hope all of you who buy it enjoy it!

Happy Tuesday Everybody, If you look in the right hand margin (I hope everyone can see it) you'll see the countdown clock for when All's Fair In Love & Lion is released. If you can see it, you'll notice there's just HOURS left to wait! I can hear Monroe (in his lion form) roaring his approval. He's ready for him and Sasha's grand debut into the published world. You can share in his joy and anticipation tomorrow and buy the book from Amazon Kindle. From what I understand from my publisher, the book will be available in other e-formats about 3 months from now, and several more months from now available in-print. When I get more of those details, I'll pass them along. Based on Frequently Asked Questions I've gotten:  Yes, I will post links on where to get it. No, as far as I know, it's not available for pre-order. I think that covers it. Tomorrow I'll also be appearing on Melissa Ohnoutka's Eat Read Rate. This is an artic...

Happy Weekend Everybody, Normally I don't post on the weekend, but today is stop #2 of the Bethany Averie All's Fair In Love & Lion Blog Tour... Today's stop is as the guest of Stella, over on the Soul Mate Publishing Blog. Stella is a chapter mate of mine. She's encouraging, generous, and fun to be around. We've had a blast bouncing ideas off each other and at one time critiqued one another's work. She's very creative, and I enjoy knowing her. There's also two other Soul Mate Publishing authors being featured along with me! So come on out and check it all out. Do I have a muse...?  Well the only way to find out, is to join me on the Soul Mate Publishing Blog ! Have A Great Weekend!

Good Evening or rather Good Wednesday Night and a Very Happy Thursday, As promised, here is the cover art for All's Fair In Love & Lion !     Isn't it GORGEOUS??  I just love it! I really do.   The release date is for July 2013. I should have a more exact date eventually (I will let you know when I do).   Anyway, hope you like it.   Have A Tantalizingly Terrific Thursday!  

Happy Tuesday All, Didn't I say to keep an eye on my blog? Sure, it's afternoon...and normally I'd have a post up in the morning...but hey, sometimes it's fun to shake things up a bit. Hope everyone got to see the title change in yesterday's post . Yes, Surreal is now All's Fair In Love & Lion . My editor wanted a new title, and so I sent her a list of ideas. She chose 2, I took some time to consider both options, got some feedback, and then decided on All's Fair In Love & Lion . Editor says she loves it, so that's good! So...what's the big news? What's so exciting? I'll need another drumroll please ... Ready?   Are you sure ?   Really positive ?   Really, really positive?   Okay....here it is... All's Fair In Love & Lion will release in July of this year (2013) !!!! I can hardly believe it! Editor gave me the go ahead to announce, so I'm announcing.  I'm knee-deep in the edits. ...

Happy Monday Everybody, I hope everyone had a great weekend! I had a pretty good one. Offspring had a game and that went well. Friday night I went out with some of my gal pals, and that was fun. Recently, a fellow author and chapter mate of mine, Shauna Allen , had her first novel released, a contemporary romance, and you're in luck, readers, because today I'm doing my official blog review of her novel, Inked By An Angel ! Kyle is determined to make it on her own. No more being daddy's little princess. She's going to carve out her own place in the world of numbers--also known as accounting--and find her place in the world. The only problem is, without clients, how is she supposed to pay her bills? She can't bear to crawl back to her dad's plush firm where she's basically invisible. She has to make it work. So, while her first inclination is to run as fast as her fashionable heels will take her, she holds her head high while she waits for her meetin...

Happy Wednesday All, Whew! Things have been extremely busy on my end (but mostly GOOD busy). Monday was my birthday, and it was a wonderful birthday--thank you to everyone who wished me Happy Birthday. I truly appreciated the thoughtfulness! Before I launch into talking about the Lone Star Conference, I want to tell you I did a stupid thing. I forgot my camera! Can you believe it? I was so bummed. So unfortunately, I don't have pictures (color me sad) but others had photos and I have many witnesses to say I was, in fact, there. Hopefully the next time I go to the Lone Star Conference I'll remember a camera. So here's a run-down of my experience... Friday was the Meet & Greet party at the 1st V.P. of my chapter's house. As always, Stacey is a wonderful hostess (her husband minion-ed with the best of them) and it had good food, good company, and good fun. A bunch of us gave James Scott Bell a tutorial on how to talk like a Texan, and he picked up very quick...
