Gorgeous new cover art!

Hi! I had some gorgeous new cover art today so I thought I'd show it off. The cover is for my new novella Hot For Him which will feature in Total-E-Bound's anthology 'Bound to the Billionaire'. What do you think? Isn't it fab?

The anthology will be available for pre-order on July 5th. The pre-release date in which the book can be downloaded from Total-E-Bound's website is July 19th and it will be available from most online bookstores e.g Amazon and ARe from August 16th.

The Blurb:-

When feisty wild child Elena Meadows is invited to Cannes by her favourite uncle Henry, the timing couldn’t be better. A successful interior designer in London, Elena is a stout believer in the old adage work-hard-play-harder, but her fast-paced lifestyle is beginning to take its toll. A week basking in the heat of the French Riviera sounds like the perfect way to recharge, but upon her arrival she discovers that Henry has been inadvertently called away leaving his business partner Charles Hunt to man the helm. Elena has always been attracted to the American Billionaire, but found his dominant personality at odds with her own. Charles has never hidden his desire for Elena, but will accept nothing less than her absolute submission. If Elena could learn to relinquish control, they would make a formidable couple, but breaking the habit of a lifetime doesn't come easy for a self-confessed control freak even though the sexual tension between them sizzles hotter than the midday sun.


I received the cover for the anthology last week too so if you haven't seen it yet. I'll share it here also. Both covers were created by the fabulous Posh Gosh.

Don't they look great? I'm not sure which cover I love more, I think it might be a tie! I'll share the buy link as soon as the book appears on TEB's website. Thanks for stopping by. Have a fab day!

Just One More Day to Wait, Folks!

'There was no time to run. When I turned, wolves were closing in on me from every direction.'

Hi everyone! I'm so excited to announce that the wait is nearly over. Tomorrow will see the release of A Demon in Dallas, the first book in my new paranormal romance series-Huntress Chronicles.

Below is a little teaser to whet your appetite. Hope you enjoy!


     Connor lifted his head and met my gaze. Even in the moonlight I could see the regret flickering in his eyes, the slight downturn to his mouth.
     “I’m sorry, Raven,” he whispered.
     No. The blood in my veins turned to ice. There was no time to run. When I turned, wolves were closing in on me from every direction. Why the hell hadn’t I sensed them when I entered the graveyard? My instincts were usually spot on, even when I had a lot on my mind, which was most of the time. I tried to slip around two very large and snarling grey beasts, but the growls that ripped from their throats stopped me in my tracks. They had me surrounded.    Connor’s betrayal cut me to the quick. I had a fair idea of how much I’d hurt him, but I had never expected him to turn on me in this way. Had I really wounded him so much that he wished me dead?
     As I looked around for an escape route, a tall, burly figure stepped out from behind a tree and strode towards me. He was wearing a self-satisfied grin that widened when he stepped up next to me.
     I shook my head and let out a long sigh. “I should have known it was you. You always did have a taste for the dramatic, Darius.”
     The alpha let out a low chuckle. “And you always had a death wish. Correct me if I’m wrong, but didn’t I warn you not to set foot on pack land again?”
     “Oh! You were serious about that! I thought you were just blowing steam out of your ass.”
     The growl that tore from Darius’ throat was low and menacing and his eyes flashed with fierce hatred before shifting to their wolf form.

Well that's it for now folks. A Demon in Dallas will be available tomorrow from all the usual online outlets, i.e Amazon, All Romance ebooks, Barnes and Noble etc. It can also be purchased direct from my publisher Total-e-Bound's website here:- http://www.total-e-bound.com/product.asp?strParents=&CAT_ID=&P_ID=2127

Thanks for stopping by, hope you have a fab day!

Great review for A DEMON IN DALLAS - Amy Armstrong

Hi everyone!


Okay so those of you who know me will know that I'm a huge fan of Urban Fantasy and Paranormal Romance and whilst I have been writing in those genres for a few years, until recently I have written exclusively M/M romance under my other pseudonym Lavinia Lewis.

Last year, my publisher Total-E-Bound asked me if I would like to be involved in a fun, challenging project they had in the pipeline called Clandestine Classics in which many classics were to be converted into erotic romance novels. A fan of the classics, I jumped at the chance to take part and it was during this project, whilst working on Pride and Prejudice that I rediscovered my love of M/F romance novels. After being inside the heads of my many leading men, it was wonderful to suddenly see the world through the eyes of a female protagonist.

Shortly thereafter, I busted open my WIP file(of which there are currently 56 stories at various stages of completion-yes 56!) and I reread some of the M/F stories I had begun writing years before. The one that shouted the loudest for a little one on one time was A Demon in Dallas. It took me a couple of months to get into the swing of it and then there was literally no stopping me. I submitted the book to my publisher and it has recently been made available on Total-E-Bound's website to VIP customers. The book's general release date is May 27th when it will be available for download on sites such as Amazon, Barnes and Noble and Are etc.

So, onto the review.


Naturally, I'm thrilled to announce that my very first review for this book has just come through and it's extremely positive. Phew! I'm happy, of course, but more relieved because I love the characters and world I have created and hoped I wouldn't be alone. Seemingly not.

The reviewer on Reviewing Vixens(who incidentally is called Raven-the same name as my female heroine in the book!) said the book is 'A sizzling start to a new series. Hot werewolf, smart huntress and bad guys galore - a great read that will keep you spellbound.' Yay!

Blurb

When her partner Matt is kidnapped by vampires, it’s down to vampire huntress Raven to locate him. But during her rescue mission, she nearly succumbs to the wicked charms of an evil fairy and is blackmailed by a devious angel who wants her to locate a demon in Dallas. Raven’s superior in the hunters' council gives her just seventy two hours to find Matt before a team of hunters are sent in whose mission statement is kill first, ask questions later. Raven’s going to need help, but the only person she can turn to is her ex-boyfriend Connor, a werewolf who Raven hasn’t been able to get out of her heart or head. 

Unwittingly thrown into a battle between good and evil and with danger lurking around every corner, Raven must race against the clock to locate the demon and rescue Matt while dealing with her feelings of guilt for walking out on Connor two years ago - even though she did so to save his life.

Excerpt

     “I can’t see a freaking thing down here, it’s too dark,” Matt whined.

     Hands clenched into fists, I glared at him, my jaw tense. “If you don’t stop whining, I’ll leave you down here to find your own way out.”

     Matt shut up. The trip to Texas had been his idea, and only two days after arriving, he had me combing the sewers, knee deep in God only knows what. As we headed farther into the labyrinth of tunnels, my already sour mood worsened. Why had I agreed to this? I should have known better.

     After a few more minutes of walking on in the worst kind of uncomfortable silence, Matt mumbled, “I was sure he came this way.”

     He might have missed the glare I tossed in his direction, but I’d be surprised if he couldn’t feel my gaze burning a hole in the back of his head. I’d never have admitted it to Matt, but I was angrier at myself than I was with him. Yet again, I had let him talk me into one of his idiotic plans. Apparently, my stupidity knows no boundaries.

     It wasn’t as if we didn’t have enough work to keep us busy in Maine, and you didn’t melt in Maine when you stepped out into the midday sun. That was always a bonus. But no, the idea of a nest of vampires that were getting too big for their cowboy boots had seduced me. It was always the damn vampires that did it. I felt drawn to them like a wolf to the moon—which made sense in its own perverse way. I was a hunter, after all. The need to exterminate the vermin was in my blood, embedded in my DNA.

     Matt stayed by my side as we traversed the intricate network of tunnels. He didn’t have the sense of direction that I had been born with, so we had to stick together. If we split up, Matt would be sure to get lost and the last thing I wanted was to have to spend more time in the damn sewer than I needed to.

     Placing a hand around my upper arm, Matt pulled me to a stop. He was about my height, if marginally broader, so when I turned we were standing face to face and close enough that I could see his remorseful expression. He let out a long sigh.

     “I’m sorry I dragged you into this. You were right. We should have stayed in Maine.”

     His repentant tone dispelled most of the anger I had been holding onto. There was a reason I hadn’t wanted to come back to Austin, but Matt didn’t know about that. As far as he was aware, I’d walked out on that part of my life two years ago and I hadn’t looked back. I was good at hiding my feelings, even from Matt, who had become like a brother to me over the ten years we’d been hunting together. Or maybe I was just a damn good liar—too good.
     I shrugged. “Don’t sweat it. I’m a big girl. I agreed to come along. Now that we’re here, let’s kill us some vamps, yeah?”
     A goofy grin was his only reply. When we turned a corner, the dimly lit, narrow passageway opened up into a cavernous room. The stark brick walls held small fitted lights, but they let off hardly any illumination. Our prey was standing in the back, casually leaning against the wall when we entered. His eyes glowed yellow in the small beam of moonlight that filtered down from an overhead grating. Even from ten feet away I could smell the stench of death and decay on his breath. The room was just bright enough to see the vampire’s wide, toothy grin.
     “Well, it’s about time y’all showed up,” he said with a lazy Texan twang. “I ain’t got all night, ya know.”
     I took a few steps farther into the room to get a better look at the creature. He was wearing pale blue, flared denims and a floral shirt. He wouldn’t have looked out of place in the seventies—in fact, he probably hadn’t taken them off since the seventies. That would certainly explain some of the stink. But the strangest thing about him was his relaxed stance and calm demeanour. Most vampires feared hunters on sight. Reaching into my jacket, I pulled out my favourite silver-tipped stake.
     “Oh, I’d put that away if I were you.” He swaggered towards us and the stench increased, clogging up the already stale air until it was all I could smell. Some days, I really hated my damn job.
     I shrugged. “Sorry, no can do.”
     “Someone could get hurt,” he mused.
     “Not someone,” I corrected. “Something.” It was damn near impossible to think of a vampire as human when their humanity had departed along with their soul. ‘Mindless, emotionless killers’ was the only term that fitted.
     His grin broadened. “Details,” he drawled, with a swish of his hand.

     As we stared at each other silently, my mind went into overdrive. There was something off about this whole situation. His relaxed manner made me jittery. Vampires were undoubtedly the most conceited of the supernatural species, but he would have known we were hunters. So he was either stupid enough to think he could take us or he had a death wish. Of course, there could always be a third alternative—he wasn’t down in the sewer alone and that fact was giving him false confidence.
     “Matt, pick up the slack,” I instructed.
     My eyes never wavered from the soulless creature in front of me. In the ten years we’d worked together, Matt and I had come to understand one another pretty well so I didn’t need to elaborate. In my peripheral vision, I saw him nod then walk back down the tunnel we’d just come through.
     “Well, well. Not as stupid as you look.” As the creature neared, his haughty smirk exposed yellow, razor-sharp fangs.
     I was about to respond with something equally banal when a fight broke out in the tunnel behind me. The harrowing sounds of fists hitting flesh and snapping bones reached my ears along with Matt’s shouts of rage as he fought what sounded like four or five vampires at once.
     “Raven! Raven, help me!” Matt shouted.
     Damn. I thought about dealing with the creature in front of me first, but then a sound rang out that made my stomach lurch violently and all the air whooshed out of my lungs. Matt screamed—quite literally screamed. The chilling sound echoed off the damp sewer walls, reverberating through my body like it was a physical entity that had taken me by the arms and shaken the living daylights out of me. It was excruciating to listen to.
     I was about to charge to Matt’s rescue when the vampire lunged, catching me off guard.

Shiny new cover and excerpt of upcoming release!

Hi everyone! I hope you're all doing okay. We are snowed in here in Wales, but staying cosy indoors has meant I've been able to get lots of writing done, so I'm not going to complain. However I'm off to Bulgaria for the week on February 4th so I'm hoping it improves by then as they've been cancelling flights left, right and centre recently. Yikes! Wish me luck!

I got a fab new cover today for book one in my new Huntress Chronicles series which is due to be released by Total-E-Bound so I'm proudly showing it off. Isn't it fab? :) I've added a blurb and an excerpt(pre edits) of the novel below. Hope you enjoy!

Pride and Prejudice released in print!

Hi everyone!

Firstly I'd like to say a huge thank you for all the emails of support I've received recently about the Clandestine Classics line. I appreciate the sentiments more than I can express. And for those of you that have asked, I'm pleased to announce that Pride and Prejudice along with the other novels in the Clandestine Classics' line have all been released today in print! 

As you can see, the cover of the print book is different to the ebook version. It has a classic design and should hopefully appeal to those that want to read the book, but might be too embarrassed to be seen with a racier cover.

Personally I'm a huge fan of ebooks and my kindle goes everywhere with me. It's incredibly light, easy to use and can hold an entire library. What's not to love? That being said, there's just something special about seeing a bookcase filled with my favourite titles and holding a paperback copy in my hand. I also find it more practical to flip through the pages of a print book when I'm looking to find a particular passage I want to re-read. So if you're like me and like to hold a physical copy of a book, then now is your chance to buy. Pride and Prejudice and all the other Classics that have been released thus far can be purchased directly from Total-E-Bound's website here.

Our print books are usually made available for purchase from other online retailers like Amazon and Barnes and Noble, so I'll keep you updated when it goes live on other outlets.

Thanks for stopping by everyone, I hope you enjoy the book!

Have a fab day!
