New Releases/Tummy Tremors

You probably know about the Alaska Heat Wave…we’ve got 4 authors with new releases within about 10 days. Two debut authors (Kianna Alexander and Juniper Bell) and two of us who’ve done this before (Shea McMaster and me!).

Soon it will be my turn.

Maxwell’s Fall comes out August 26 from Ellora’s Cave (don’t you love the slick bit of shameless self-promotion I nudged in there unnoticed?). Maxwell’s Fall will be my 24th story Ellora’s Cave has published and you know, my stomach still gets in little knots on release day. For some reason, I assumed it would become old news…ho-hum, another book came out today. Hasn’t happened yet. Each time I have a new release, I sit at my computer waiting for people to write and say they bought it, read it in one sitting and loved it. (It’s my fantasy and I like to dream big!). Or, heaven forbid, they write to say “it’s not as good as _______” (insert book title here).

That’s the part that makes my stomach tremble. Okay, it hasn’t happened (yet!) but I’m an author. I think we’re insecure by nature. It’s part of the job description, right?

Which means that most authors are probably sitting at the computer on release day wondering who is buying their book and what will they think. So I guess I’ll just join the crowd…tap, tap, tapping on my keyboard waiting for the world to respond.

Don’t forget…Maxwell’s Fall comes out on Wednesday (I’m not even trying to slip that one by you). It’s a sequel to New Year’s Kiss and Summer’s Caress, m/m/f werewolf romance. You met the twins in Summer’s Caress. Max goes to Alaska to check on his brother (Jax) and winds up involved with his brother’s woman. And best friend. It’s really quite fun. Go to http://www.tiellestclare.com/comingsoon.htm for more information or check it out on the Coming Soon page of Jasmine-Jade. (http://www.jasmine-jade.com/ps-7427-50-maxwells-fall.aspx)

And don’t forget to sign up for the Alaska Heat Wave contest. You could win a free ebook from one of the four authors. Send an email to contest@akrwa.org to enter! And check out Maxwell’s Fall on Wednesday!

Have fun!

Happy Release Day!

Happy Release Day!

How hot is the Alaska Heat Wave? So hot, you might find yourself lounging on a pink sand beach, diving into turquoise water, doing naughty things with a sexy stranger! You might take a trip to beautiful Cat Island, where you encounter a mysterious man who calls himself the “Extremist.” Who is he, and why can’t you resist him? How does he manage to push your boundaries and bring out a sensual side you never knew existed?

Only one way to find out: Enter the Alaska Heat Wave contest for a chance to win The Extremist, a debut novella by Juniper Bell. Or you can visit her Web site for a blurb, excerpt and a buy link. The heat is on. Crank up the air conditioning and let the Extremist push your boundaries...

And that’s not all… What an amazing day for AKRWA. It’s also the release day for Six Foot Hero by Shea McMaster, the sweeter side of Morgan Q. O’Reilly. Sometimes a woman needs a hero. For Nicole Dahl, a vacation in Alaska brings unexpected trouble, and only one man can help her, a hero who’s six feet and smokin’ hot. You can find a blurb, excerpt and buy link here.

We’ll give you a couple days to cool off, but temps will rise again on August 20 with Kianna Alexander’s debut novel Skye’s the Limit. So enter the Alaska Heat Wave contest now and join the fun!

New Releases Begin Tomorrow!

The heat in our Heat Wave is about to go up a few dozen degrees!
