Rayne's Thunder Date Night and Giveaway

One of the best things about writing romance is that you can create amazing romantically infused interactions between the characters. The build up to me is far more important than the actual act of getting together. I love those sultry looks, the build up of desire, the need to touch, the electricity that comes from contact, the 'does he or doesn't he like me' anticipation. It's one of the reasons why I started writing the Dating a Werewolf Series with the romantic serials of Rayne's Thunder, Rhyme's Reason, and River's Fire. I mean ten guys, or girls in River's case, all vying for the attention of a potential mate and pulling out all the stops to win the object of their affection is intoxicating. It's the chase.

The challenge, though in taking on a series like this, is coming up with variety. There is only one picnic in the park or a date that ends with the couple dancing in the rain. Readers don't want to read the same experience with different people it suspends the escape the writer has created for reader and takes away from the overall experience. It's why the kisses must be different from one guy to the next or the touches and scents need to have different stimulating impact on characters.

So in the next installment in Rayne's Thunder (Part Four) The Mating Game six men are required to create six different dating experiences. I think you're going to be pleasantly surprised with some of the interactions and delighted with the ideas the men came up with but I can already see I'm going to need new ideas for future installments so here is the question.

What would be your dream date? Leave it in the comments below. I'll giveaway an audiobook from one of my already published titles here to one lucky poster (winner's choice). Winner must be over 18. I'll choose one winner for the comments below 8/30/15 

Check out this highly rated serial on Amazon.

Rayne's Thunder (Part One) Master Chef
Rayne's Thunder (Part Two) The Veterinarian
Rayne's Thunder (Part Three) The Politician and the Witches

Thanks for reading. Have a great day.

What motivated me to take the 500 words a day challenge, discounted series, and raffles

I'd like to say my motivation was to write but that's not the case. Writing words daily is fairly easy, in the last two days I wrote up almost 10k words on a new manuscript. It's a story about a justice demon and her journey to escape hell and become human. It's going to be at least a 14 book series and the first book is rolling out on paper with the force of a steam roller which is nice for an author. This post is actually a break from the story and my forced attempt to stay grounded in reality. It's easy to get lost in the story when your telling it, especially if the story is action packed.

I think that is the first reason I decided to take this challenge. I write so much in the paranormal and fantasy world that I miss out on the real world a little. I also wanted an avenue to get more personal with my fans. You know what to expect when you read my books; action, paranormal, mythological gods, and some romance... but not many people know me. My strengths and weaknesses. My whimsical, yet slightly off sense of humor, and my compassion for people and animals. This project forces me to ask tough questions and share those answers with you on my blog. I've always wanted a more personal blog and it's already starting to get there.

Thanks to this project and being asked to join a blog hop I designed a fun post on how to refresh bedroom play... well, it lead to tips on communication but all in the name of making things more fun in the bedroom. As a coach, hypnotherapist, and romance writer I figured I might have some insight into this topic. Look for that post, coming soon as part of a blog hop and the giveaway that will also be part of it.

I also have the goal of video blogging and this change in my blog format will help me to vlog about important issues.

I guess I can say, I'm doing a little spring cleaning on my blog and I hope you all like the changes. There will still be sneak peeks of my books, giveaways, and insights into why I went certain directions in different stories but there will be a lot more and I'm uber excited about it. I hope you are too.

Have you made any plans to freshen up or change things in your life? Feel free to comment below. I'd love to hear from you.

I guess I'll sign off for the night. I really want to get back to the story and hit that 10 k goal. I'm so close. Because I'm an author and constantly have things going on I thought I'd share a few things coming up on the business side of things.

The Mating Challenge (Steamy, Adult, BBW, Shifter, Romance) is still available on pre-order for only .99 on Amazon. The release party is scheduled for this upcoming weekend. Will you be joining us? Here's the party page. It's a great read. What could be sexier than six alpha males competing to the death to mate with one awesome woman?

I've also decided to price all PBI Case Files adventures at .99 for a limited time. It's a great series and people have really enjoyed the "CSI... with a paranormal twist" premise. I'd love for more to enjoy it so I'm going to reduce this series for a while. I'm also hoping the reduction in price will pay off in more reviews. Check out the adventures here.

Ghost Connection, adventures one and two are also only .99 each. You can check out this series here.

Ohh, I almost forgot. I'm part of two awesome raffles. Check these out.

If you'd like some extra spending cash before Spring Break, enter my Spring Break Giveaway. I've joined up with some awesome authors, Digital Book Today, and The Kindle Book Review--The #1 Site for Reader Giveaways, and we're giving away two (2) $200 Amazon Gift Cards March 23 - April 5. Check it out and enter everyday. Good luck! Here's the link. 

I've also got an audiobook raffle going on as part of my blog tour from Magic of Books (which is going phenomenal!). Here is the link to that raffle as well.

Have a great night and chat with you later, my friends.

I'd also like to take a moment and give you a sneak peek to my upcoming release schedule and cover reveal of Death Interrupted (book one of the paranormal dystopian series Vanished).

Death Interrupted will be released in January for purchase in a box set and also for purchase individually. It's the story of what happened to the 200 plus passengers and crew members that disappeared on Avalon Flight 370. Each book in the series will focus on a romance between a pair of the passengers and each book will reveal different aspects of a dystopian world that will frighten readers and keep them turning pages to find out what will happen next to these passengers. Death Interrupted is Blake and Melissa's story. This book is written for 18 and up and is a romance first and foremost.

The Vanished series is a spin off the PBI Case Files and the premise was initially introduced in PBI Case Files Adventure 3 (Lost Plane). During the month of December and January I'm hosting a PBI Case Files Online Murder Mystery Party. Join the PBI team, other sleuths, and me for a fun game of suspense and intrigue. You might even win some awesome prizes. Here's the link, hope you can join us.

If you enjoy paranormal mysteries with romantic suspense check out the series on Amazon here. Book five of the series is in production and I hope to release it on or before February 19th (my birthday). The team will be going up against a remote viewer with the power to teleport (or so they think-there will be a twist) the title is Remote Paranoia.

The audio files of these books will also be available soon.

I also have a paranormal romance coming out in a new box set with Beau Coup Publishing scheduled to be released around Valentine's day. The book is in production and I haven't chosen a name yet but the romance will be between a broken heart antique shop owner and a damaged genie.

Another paranormal romance scheduled for a Valentine's Day release in a Mystical Box Set is book one of Demon Fairy Tails series. The story centers around a succubus princess and her shifter mate. This box set is titled Mystical Royal Love and features PT Macias, Darlene Kuncytes, Bryce Evans, CA Tibbitts, SA Bull, Moira Keith, Margaret Taylor, Julia Mills, Joann H Buchanan, Marissa Storm, Billie Jo Hanlin, Tasha Thomas and Jami Brumfield. This awesome box set is now available for pre-order on Amazon. 

The first book I wrote with this group is Cherished Gift (book one of the Paranormal Hypnotherapy Files). You can check out the first Mystical Box Set here on Amazon. 

I'm also working on completing The Faerie King's Guardian (book two of the Mystery Springs Series). Book one, The Witch's Vampire is available on Amazon and soon to be released as an audio book as well.

Fire Master Rising (book three of the Winters Saga) is also on the soon to be released schedule. You can pick up Lone Wolf Rising and Vampire Princess Rising now on Amazon.

You can get a little teaser of some things to come in Fire Master Rising from Hunter Winters interview post here.

Book three of the Ghost Connection series is in development. Cassie and her ghostly friends will come face to face with an evil Artificial Intelligence Spirit.

Lost (book one) and Death Does Not Become Her (book two) are currently available on Amazon and soon to be released as audio books. 

The second book of the Shifter Love Tails will be released the first half of 2015. It's a paranormal romance with the Lion King Shifter and his witch fertility doctor. To Love a Dragon (book one) the story of dragon shifter prince and his witch detective mate is currently available on Amazon in the Haunting box set produced by Beau Coup Publishing here. This set has so many great authors; Michele E Gwynn, Sable Hunter, Ryan O'Leary, Alicia Sparks, Eryn Black, Isobelle Cate, Katherine Rhodes, Jaden Sinclair, and Jami Brumfield.
