Keeping Up With Jennah

Hey everyone! Time for an update from my desk... I have many things to let you know and you don't want to miss out. I'm all refreshed from my Cuban vacation so let's get started....

First of all, head over to Whiskey Creek Press Torrid to read The Prisoner for FREE! Yes, I said FREE! This fabulous publisher is offering my story for free download until May 31st so don't miss out. It's actually the first story from Celtic Love Knots Vol. 5 which includes one other story.

"The Prisoner" (Erotic Romance/Historical Fiction) Samuel Dannon, Sidhe warrior and Druid leader, wants nothing more than a warm woman by his side. When a daughter of Rome frees him from bondage, she insists on following him. How can he say no?

While you're there, check out Gypsy Afterglow, a full-length, contemporary novel, also available in print.

Now, over at the home website of Whiskey Creek Press , you'll find The Gardener's Song, a young adult novel set in a world where nature has turned it's back on man and is working to rebuild. I'm sure you'll all love this fantastical story, available May 15, and written under my alter/non-erotic ego name, JL Sharp

Forbidden Empath is still on sale at Cobblestone Press , so don't forget to pick up a copy of that one! Here's the blurb:

Joanna Curtis loves the tidy little box of her world. She's on edge every day, worried something will shatter that box. That something comes in the form of an intense man who shows up at her door, convinced she's about to be murdered for eavesdropping at work.Following a harrowing escape, Joanna finds herself at the mysterious Maison D'Aura, under the protection of a man who experiences her feelings as his own. When the secrecy of Maison D'Aura is compromised, Joanna wonders if she'll ever find comfort in life again.

Lastly, you'll find In the Arms of a Pilot (a short story in the anthology, Camoflaged Hearts) available on it's own at Total E-Bound Books . (Check out those abs! What a fabulous cover! Yum!) I also have a print copy of this anthology available to give away. I haven't decided how to do it just yet. I want to do something fun and summery so I'll let you know soon. Here's a hint: you'll have to work for it :)

In summary, here's hoping all those links work and you can find you're way around! I know, it's confusing. Don't forget to drop me a line and let me know what you think of the stories.

Take care,
Jennah

Wow, I've been working and writing way too much this winter and the blog has felt the effects. So sorry, but now.....It's almost here! Release day for Forbidden Empath at Cobblestone Press! Here's a little teaser for you.

He sat next to her on the sofa, his broad hand falling over hers on the soft fabric of the sofa. He was warm, and deep inside she felt the stirring of something primal. Joanna was not inexperienced with men. She did, however, keep her dalliances close to home. She’d slept with men who began as her close friends, never with a stranger and never as soon after meeting them as she wished of Micah. But, and there was always a but in these situations, this was not her life. Someone else belonged here with him and even though the very thought turned her enviously green inside, she knew this place, at the side of Micah Brittan, Senior Empath of the United Nations, was not hers. Maybe in another lifetime, another place, but right at this time, she wanted nothing more than her own home and her little town where she was comfortable.
She’d been staring at the back of his hand when his fingers curled under her palm. She sucked in her breath.

Coming April 3rd (that's this Friday!!)

It's here!!

What's all the fuss?

The countdown is on.... Gypsy Afterglow releases from Whiskey Creek Press Torrid on January 15th!! This is my first full-length novel in e-book form and I just know you'll all love it! Please help me out by buying a copy. I'd looooove to see this one in print! Don't worry, I'll remind you when the time comes. In the meantime, here's a blurb:

Brynn Parker was warned to stay away from the gypsies from her first summer in Spain. Ever since then, her curiosity has piqued along with her interest in a certain young Gitano. As she grows into a woman, her illicit involvement with Marco Kaldera becomes more intimate until she must return to her home country. Years later, through a mutual friend, a funeral and Marco’s fame, Brynn works to earn his forgiveness and convince him to love her once again. But…he belongs with the gypsies. Can the sacrifices they must endure to be together bond them forever?

And here's what some of you have been waiting for. We picked up our new Golden Retriever puppy on December 6th. She was 8 weeks old. This pup is playful and

affectionate, exactly what we were looking for. She's very smart too and has had very few "accidents". Oh yeah, and her name is Holly in honour of the season... Enjoy!

New from Tawny Taylor!

(click HERE to buy)

Blurb:

Raine Avery needs a job. Badly. So when she hears about a primo position she’s willing to overlook a few salacious rumors about the company’s owner, Tryphon Zade. But then she meets him, and it’s clear that at least two of those rumors are true.

He is the epitome of a wet dream.

And he is one controlling, possessive, dominating jerk.

Sons of the Twilight Tryphon and Bale Kincaid are looking for more than a well-qualified office manager. The Hunger has them in its agonizing grip. They need a woman for the Blood Bond. Raine is the perfect candidate, with her lush body, fiery red hair and temperament to match. She makes Tryphon burn, in a very good way, the submissive nature she suppresses calling to the Dom within him. But this Binding isn’t like any Bale and Tryphon have shared before. Their relationship is strained, and Raine fights Tryphon’s domination like a hellcat. But Tryphon is determined to not only prove his love for Bale but also tame Raine. She will learn the pleasure of complete submission.

Busy, busy

I have great news to report. I have signed the contract with Cobblestone Press to publish Forbidden Empath. I love this book and hope you will too! Joanna and Micah were fabulous and fun characters to write and I know you'll enjoy their journey together. If you want a blurb, visit my website.

So, that makes 2 full-length novels coming from me in 2009!!

Also to report, we lost our beautiful dog on Thanksgiving weekend. She was almost 13 but was succumbing to cancer very quickly. We miss her greatly but the whole family is looking forward to our "new baby" who we can bring home just before Christmas. She's a purebred Golden Retriever and if she's as loving and loyal as her parents, she'll be a great addition. I'll post pictures when I have them. We're going to visit her in a few weeks as right now, she's only two weeks old and not much for the kids to play with. yay!

Sweet and Spicey Conference

I'm so excited about this weekend! I'm off to the RWA Sweet and Spicey Conference in Ottawa. Come by and meet me if you're in the neighbourhood.

It's going to be a blast with great workshops, an editor appointment with Brenda Chin of Harleqin and a party in the lounge of the Sheraton hotel!

In other news, Gypsy Afterglow will be released this January by Whiskey Creek Press Torrid! This one will go to print if enough readers buy it, so start saving your money. I can't wait for the cover. That, of course, is my favourite part. So, how is your week starting out?
