Wintery wonders and free books
Yep, it’s winter. Cold, ice, some snow - dogs snuggled up around the space heater in my office because even with the heat on, this corner room gets chilly.
The porch views are still beautiful in the few seconds I’m out there in the bitter winds to grab a picture or two.
There have been a lot of end-of-year business tasks keeping me busy, but I’m still aiming to finish Probable Cause - hopefully this week. I’m SO close to the end and the edits are happening while I write the last bits.
One of the end of year tasks has been getting the Round Robin/Free Book swaps set up for 2026. We’ve got some new faces signed up and I think you’re going to be pleased to see free books from new folks as well as old favorites.
Speaking of free books - check out this beautiful FREE piece by Tracy Cooper-Posey. Tracy -and her husband Mark Posey - are both fantastic writers and I count myself lucky to be considered a friend. They’ve also been doing this author gig longer than me and I’ve learned a lot from them.
Winter, a professional thief who can manipulate others’ biologies by touch, accidentally “healed” her former partner—and former vampire—Sebastian, whom she secretly loves. Her healing created a symbiotic pairing between them that neither of them wants.
Nathanial, a sexy thousand-year-old vampire and Sebastian’s ex-lover, talks Sebastian and Winter into stealing evidence that will expose all vampires to the world. But Nathanial is a puppet-master who doesn’t believe in falling in love with humans, leaving Winter unsure of his real feelings for her once he seduces her, or how he feels about Sebastian, the former vampire-now-human whose life he has turned upside down once more.
But the evidence they steal is hot property. The future of all vampires is on the line and others will stop at nothing to get it, leaving Sebastian, Winter and Nathanial with no allies but each other. They must trust each other to survive. Only...can they?
