Nate Powell lived one full life as a world-class inventor before a disaster born of magic and science returned him to his prime—and turned him into a half-vampire, half-bloodhound abomination.

He’s finally stopped yearning for death, but he’s a long way from being excited about life—even if his newly virile body is very excited by the latest arrival to Iron Creek.

Diana is another creature that shouldn’t exist—a female bloodhound. While the males of Iron Creek accept her as a fellow warrior, Nate seems torn between a desire to study her and a need to protect her. Diana’s urges are a lot more carnal.

When they learn that a rogue hound is selling women across the border, Diana and Nate are chosen to infiltrate the vampires’ capital city. But before long their inner bloodhounds feel the mating pull—and a hound never outlives their mate for long. In a fight to keep each other alive, they could both end up worse than dead.

Warning: Contains a badass vampire-hunting heroine who isn’t afraid to fight dirty and a broody half-vampire hero about to discover a reason to live again. Also beware of: bloodhound-on-bloodhound violence, airship heists and some furniture-endangering sex with lots of biting, all in an alternate Wild West.

If you’d like to read the first chapter, you can do so at the website.  We hope you have as much fun with Nate & Diana as we did!

The first spoilery thing I can reveal is the blurb for the next book, in case you missed me sneaking it up onto our website a couple days ago.  This book will be out on July 9th, so not too big a wait!

Lorelei Adams has lost many things–her humanity, her life, even her son. She’s always fought through her exhaustion, always stayed strong for her pack, but now there are new alphas to take care of the others.  Unfortunately, time to rest means time to think about her own pain.

Colin Knox knows about exhaustion.  He’s acted as judge, jury and executioner to rogue wolves for over a decade, but never lingered long enough to help the survivors pick up the pieces–until now. Lorelei rouses his instincts, both protective and carnal.  She’s willing, but only to indulge in physical distraction. Colin wants more, to be the hero who slays her monsters.

Especially when it becomes clear that malicious magic is loose in their sanctuary.  The danger draws them together until it’s impossible to separate lust from affection, good intentions from rationalizations.  Darkness is stirring at Green Pines.  If they can’t fight it together, they could lose everything they have left.

Warning: Contains a weary vigilante hero looking for a place to call home and a stubborn werewolf heroine unwilling to admit she needs help. Also appearing: small town prejudices, big city dangers, naked chases through the woods and ghosts. Lots of ghosts.

After Haunted Wolves there are two more books in the series, Haunted Magic and Haunted Hearts.  And while I’m not going to tell you exaaaactly who those books feature, we definitely didn’t try to hide our endgame in Haunted Sanctuary.

So, anyone have any questions? Or comments? Anyone want to punch us?    (We probably earned it with the ending, but see? Next book soon!)

That’s right. Beyond Shame–our VERY naughty dystopian erotic romance–is only 99 cents through the end of the weekend. So now’s a great time to give it a try, if you’ve been dithering.  You can get your bargain at any of these fine retail outlets: All Romance Ebooks | Barnes & Noble | Amazon | Amazon UK | Amazon DE | Kobo | Smashwords

Speaking of Kit Rocha, we’ve also announced the release date for book #2.  You can find information about the book, a teaser trailer, and the chance to win awesome swag over at Fiction Vixen & Smexy Books.  You could also win some of our sekrit swag project we’ve been having waaay too much fun creating… NAIL POLISH!

Eden Green can’t remember a time she didn’t believe in monsters—her cousin was born one. Her family’s dark past casts a long shadow, making it hard to make friends and harder to commit to a lover. She lives a quiet life in small-town Clover, Tennessee, but she’s always waiting for the other shoe to drop.

Tired of the city packs’ corruption, yet too alpha to be a subordinate in a sanctuary town, Jay Ancheta satisfies his need to protect by serving as Clover’s Chief of Police. As much as he’s drawn to Eden, he can’t offer forever to a woman who doesn’t know what he is—or trust himself to let her go after one taste.

When Eden’s cousin and his battered pack stagger into town, their tormentors hard on their heels, Eden is bitten in the chaos. Now Jay not only has a traumatized pack to deal with, but a newly turned wolf with enough hungry alpha power to consume them both.

With their combined strength, they can create a new sanctuary—if their passion can survive the ghosts of the Green family’s legacy.

Warning: Contains a newly turned werewolf heroine who enjoys a little rough dominance in bed and a badass alpha wolf hero who’ll fight bad guys, ghosts and even the past to protect what’s his. Be prepared for violence, death and heartbreak on the way to a happily ever after.

* * *

So if you want to read about werewolves and witches and ghosts and love and sadness and happily-ever-afters, go forth and read!  And I’ve updated the page for book two with the name of the hero and heroine, for those of you who have already read it and want to know. 

I’ll be making another post next week to talk about the book/series with spoilers.  So get your questions (or your threats to kill us for not answering them *g*) ready.

The Updates:  We’re done with the second Green Pines novel and getting ready for the release of the first. There are contests all over the internet where you can win a set of the Red Rock Pass ebooks, like here and here & here.  Each have unique excerpts from the series, and some musings about why we wrote/love that scene or what it says about the world.  And there are more to come…thanks to Samhain Publishing for making the tour possible!  (And providing the 80 books as prizes. Wooo-hoo!)

So, what’s coming soon, eh?

2013/2014 Release Schedule

Jan 21st, 2013: Beyond Shame (novel, audio)
Jan 22nd, 2013: Haunted Sanctuary (novel, digital)
Feb/March 2013: Beyond Control (as Kit Rocha, digital & print)

* titles that have already released in digital

We also hope to have Firecracker out (finally!) and Beyond Pain.  If things go really, really well, maybe Beyond Pain will be moved up a bit and we miiiight even manage to sneak Beyond Jealousy in before the end of the year.  That will mostly depend on how other things are going.  We’re going to avoid giving release dates for self-published books until we’ve finished writing them, just to avoid having to change our minds on y’all!

As you can see, that’s a lot of stuff!  But we’ve already written all of the Moira Rogers projects save the last 1/2 of Enigma.  We may have one or two shorter mystery projects self-published in 2013, and we’ll be working hard on Kit Rocha.  But for the next little while, all of our attention will be on the new Sanctuary books (releasing Haunted Sanctuary and edits on Haunted Wolves) and finishing & publishing Beyond Control.

Speaking of Haunted Wolves, did y’all see the cover?!

So, that’s all the latest around these parts.  Now I’m back to work!

Here around Moira Rogers land, we love us some Tessa Dare. We love her books, and we love her, and her latest release is an awesome opportunity for us to share that love a little.  In honor of the fabulous deal offered by Avon Impulse, we’re going to give away 10 ebook copies of this book!

Small print: copies go to the first 10 entries, and will be gifted via amazon’s kindle gifting procedure.  (I’m sorry, Nook readers, I know it’s a pain, but I have terrible luck gifting ebooks on the BN site, and I can only do this if it’s not going to eat up all the time I’m supposed to be using to write.)  Anyone willing to read in a browser or via one of the 8,000 kindle apps can enter, though!

Our ten winners have been selected. But you can still find the novella for 99 cents at these fine retail outlets: Kindle | Nook | Apple | Kobo | Sony

Edit: Comments closed. You must fill out the form to enter!

And this…

And this…

And this…

Oh, jeez. Just watch the trailer:

So, for those of you who are new, the Sanctuary books start with the Red Rock Pass series, which came out in 2008 & 2009.  These are 4 category length novels (each around 45-50k) and each focusing on one couple, though they form a complete story arc.

Red Rock Pass

The fourth book, Sanctuary Unbound, introduced a vampire who had undergone a painful tragedy in the 1930s.  While finishing the story, we got interested enough in the backstory to go back and write a prequel novella about two of his oldest friends.  That and one sequel made up our Bootlegging Werewolves on an Island duet of novellas:

Building Sanctuary

Since then, we’ve been trying to figure out when the next Sanctuary story would take place.  We’ve always wanted to return to the world, but none of the ideas we came up with felt right.  For a couple years we mused over it, talking about different ideas with our editor.  Once or twice we even started books, but we were trying too hard and the story never came…

…until this time last year, when it slammed into us out of nowhere.

Eden Green can’t remember a time she didn’t believe in monsters—her cousin was born one. Her family’s dark past casts a long shadow, making it hard to make friends and harder to commit to a lover. She lives a quiet life in small-town Clover, Tennessee, but she’s always waiting for the other shoe to drop.

Tired of the city packs’ corruption, yet too alpha to be a subordinate in a sanctuary town, Jay Ancheta satisfies his need to protect by serving as Clover’s Chief of Police. As much as he’s drawn to Eden, he can’t offer forever to a woman who doesn’t know what he is—or trust himself to let her go after one taste.

When Eden’s cousin and his battered pack stagger into town, their tormentors hard on their heels, Eden is bitten in the chaos. Now Jay not only has a traumatized pack to deal with, but a newly turned wolf with enough hungry alpha power to consume them both.

With their combined strength, they can create a new sanctuary—if their passion can survive the ghosts of the Green family’s legacy.

Warning: Contains a newly turned werewolf heroine who enjoys a little rough dominance in bed and a badass alpha wolf hero who’ll fight bad guys, ghosts and even the past to protect what’s his. Be prepared for violence, death and heartbreak on the way to a happily ever after.

Green Pines has werewolves and witches. And ghosts, both literal and metaphorical.  Everyone in this new series is haunted by something, and all of them are haunted by someone–or someones.    Book one comes out on January 22nd and book two, Haunted Wolves (cover coming soon!) will be out in July. 

So, since it’s time to start thinking about werewolves again, I’m running a contest!  I’ll give away any of the ebooks in this series–yes, including eARCs of Haunted Sanctuary–by random drawing next week.  All you have to do is leave a reply and tell us whether you’ve read any of the series and which ebook you’d like to win.  That’s it! Just a comment.  Winners will be chosen & notified by e-mail.

Rocky Mountain Angel
Six Pack Ranch, Book 4

Sometimes even Angels must learn to fly…

Allison Parker needs a convincing excuse to come home to Rocky Mountain House. A hopelessly romantic reason that won’t let her mother suspect the truth—that Allison has discovered Mom is keeping a terrible secret from the family.

Gabe Coleman is struggling with two of the roughest parts of ranching: dealing with his bull-headed mule of a father, and making enough to pay the bills. When his old friend Allison offers to help him develop his ideas for organic ranching—in trade for pretending to be her fiancé—it sounds like the perfect set-up.

Yet the deception leads them in an unexpected direction, where their shared daily hells are erased by nights of heavenly distraction. It’s not supposed to be real, but once the gates are opened, there’s no denying they’ve found in each other a little bit of Paradise.

To break free of the past and face the future, though, will take more than temporary pleasures. It’ll take putting their hearts on the line.

Warning: Tortured hero with a guardian-angel complex, grief-stricken heroine willing to sacrifice everything for family. Break out the tissues, this trip to the ranch is a heartbreaker on the way to the HEA.
