The Cohort Trilogy - one friend does something funky...

 
Hi friends and fam,
 
Today I’d like to apologize for not getting to chat with you on last week—got a little busy there, but here we are!
 
Okay, I told you about how much fun the four friends in Book I of The Cohort Trilogy have together. Yet what I didn’t tell you about was the drama. Man, is there disturbance in Absolution! It shakes all the characters up, but isn’t that what happens in real life? And you know I believe art should mirror life.
 
So we have these four friends / four cohorts going merrily along, getting their party on, enjoying life and

The Cohort Trilogy, let’s talk about Cousin…

 
Hi friends and fam,
 
I’m back. Let’s jump right in. I wanted to let you know concerningThe Cohort Trilogythat soonBook IandBook IIwill  be re-released with new ISBN numbers, new covers, and updated content. I’m quite happy about that. As the time nears I will remind you.
 
Now back to what we were discussing last week – the characters inThe CohortTrilogy-Book I,Absolution. So I told you a bit about Beau, our gay male lead… therefore I want to mention his cousin, a woman who is also in the book.

So yummy!

Hi readers, friends and fam,
 
I just wanted to let you know how excited I am to be able to finally offer youIniquities!
It'sBook IIIin myCohort Trilogy, and believe me, just like you loved the first two, you're going to feel that way about this one. I don't mean to sound cocky. You all know that's not my way. I'm just saying... I gave this book all I had.
 
I had help too. That I'm happy to report. My gay male friends were more than willing to give me their input. You know, to make the story real.

Mom's books are now available on Amazon Kindle!

Hello friends and fam,
 
I wanted to let you know that Jessica Janna, my mom's books Seedling  and Sowing  are now available on Amazon Kindle!  She's quite excited about it because to her this format is new -- it's electronic! Mom also admitted that like some of you she likes books to hold in her hands. So now you can make your choice.
 
With Kindle both Seedling  and Sowing  are available for a ridiculously low price. So...maybe you might want to think about giving them as gifts this holiday season.

Turnabout & Exodus now available on Nook!

Hi Readers, friends and family,
 
Once again I'm excited. My steamy novel Turnabout,  and the mysteriously thrilling Exodus  are now available on  Nook  for a lovely low price. Check them out, you will not be disappointed. Now you can carry these sure page-turners everywhere with you--won't that be fun? Don't forget to write me after or while you read, I'd love to know what you think!

A Dedicated Reader Asked...

A dedicated reader asked about my latest fiction.
 
My answer: It's a great, semi-traditional romance calledTURNABOUTand it is available many places, includingAmazon. It is truly adult fiction in its purest form --as is most of my work.
 
TURNABOUT showcases a woman who happens to be involved with a pop music producer while another man won't leave her alone.  It is a love story that not only involves the main couple, but also family, friends, and foes.
 
I wrote it like this because isn't that how relationships go anyway?
