Today is release day for A Liar’s Moon. It’s currently available from Siren BookStrand with a 10% new release discount.

I really should be working hard on the fourth book in the Strength of the Pack series, but I’m taking a couple of days off while I recover from the experience of seeing Tom Hiddleston rock Coriolanus. The production made some interesting choices, and the cast were, by and large, superb. And just in case anyone thinks I have pretensions toward being a theatre critic, I should confess that my overriding recollection of the play was of Tom kneeling, legs splayed and arms outstretched as he offered his throat to the knife. I hadn’t appreciated just how lithely muscular he is. Especially his thighs.

Okay, that’s enough of that, or I’ll never get anything done….  Long and Short reviews today gave An Impossible Mate a lovely review:

…Matt and Jesse were a fun couple to get to know because of the opposites attract scenario, Jesse being wild and free and defiant while Matt was tight and structured and used to having his way as an Alpha. Though both men are broken in their own ways and had learned to live with that, Joy Lynn Fielding was able to bring these two together in a beautiful, and sexy way. The attraction between the two was hot and sweet all at the same time….

I’m really chuffed – Manic Readers has given An Impossible Mate a lovely 4.5 star review.

“….makes this a real standout in the saturated world of paranormal MM Romance….. the life the men lived just burst forth off the pages. I’m very happy to see it’s the start of a series because there are many more tales to tell about Matt’s pack!”

A Liar’s Moon, second in my Strength of the Pack series, is released on December 11th and is now available for pre-order at a 10% discount.

A handsome stranger walks into the Elk Ridge diner and into Jason Nichols’ heart. The first time Jason speaks to Riley Clark, he falls a little in love. By the time he sleeps with Riley, he’s head over heels. But Riley is a man on a mission. And that mission is to expose the secret Jason’s pack is protecting.

Another lovely cover from Christine Kirchoff for the second book in this series. I think she’s captured both Jason’s and Riley’s characters perfectly – yes, Riley really is that smirky and cocky. Till you get to know him. Then he’s worse.

A Liar’s Moon is released on December 11th.

So, this is something a little different for me – my first blog tour, which is a review tour for An Impossible Mate. There are five stops on the tour, and once it’s completed, one commenter will be drawn at random to win a $15 Amazon gift certificate or B&N eGift card (winner’s choice).

So please, do drop in on any of the blogs which are so generously participating in the tour to see what they thought of the book and get your name into the draw!

I’m pleased to share that I’ve just signed the contract for the third book in the Strength of the Pack series, Red Moon Rising. It’s due to be released in February next year.

I came so close to calling this series the Argent series, but eventually decided against it because while that strand of shifter mythology is key to what happens in the books, I felt it might give the impression, wrongly, that the whole series revolves around one character. As the books are getting written and the relationships between pack members, old and new, are developing, it’s becoming clear to me that I made the right decision. No wolf is an island, and all that. Especially not this lot.

Instead I am enjoying the dual excitement of release day for An Impossible Mate and the fact that A Gilded Cage has just received a wonderful 5 Sweet Pea review from Becky Condit at Mrs Condit & Friends Read Books. Simply log in below the review to be eligible to win a copy of the book.

I’ve just signed the contract for A Liar’s Moon, the sequel to An Impossible Mate which comes out next month. And I promise that the next book in the series, which I’m currently working on, has a title that doesn’t start with an article!

Listen to different types of wolf howls, again and again, all in the name of research, and only notice after about half an hour that the faithful old Lab is no longer curled up safely snoozing in his basket but is instead stalking around, eyes practically popping out of his head. Oops. Lots of cuddles and a venison ear later, he seems to have forgiven me. I never had these problems when researching the best types of Regency furniture for Our Heroes to have sex on.

Speaking of whom, Carnevalehas received another lovely review, this time from Becky Condit at Mrs Condit and Friends Read Books, who has awarded it 5 Sweet Peas. I’m truly delighted that people are enjoying Perry and Jack’s adventures.
