Title: Finding Emmaline (Blackwood Series)
Author: J.R. Byers
Genre: Historical Romance
Release Date: August 15, 2021

Aberdeen, Scotland. 1744
William Blackwood had it all.

The oldest son of a wealthy whisky merchant, the devastatingly handsome bachelor was more than content with his life.
He had a wonderful family, good friends, and the freedom to do as he pleased.

The gentleman bad boy known affectionately as The Prince of Aberdeen, the ladies loved him. And he loved them.
When Emmaline Bissette, his childhood friend, walks back into his life, his whole world changes. Suddenly, the thought of spending a lifetime with one woman doesn’t seem so mundane as he once thought, and the idea of marriage and a family of his own becomes rapidly appealing.

But when tragedy strikes, his love is cruelly taken from him, and William is left grief stricken and alone.
Devastated by his loss and racked with guilt over the circumstances of her death, the handsome widower leaves Scotland behind in the hopes of escaping the painful memories.
Vowing to never love again, William has kept his heart guarded for nearly three centuries.

Now, he yearns to go home, back to his beloved Scotland.
Where fate, it seems, is not quite done with him just yet……

Just WIP it. To Mow or To Moan

Yes! To mow or to moan, that is the question. I apparently think that they mow when they get sexy. A little gardening is appropriate during intimate times, perhaps? Maybe, man or ladyscaping?

I just wrote the book, I’m not sure what the sentence means!

Maybe in this book Lizzy’s a gardener, she could have take up landscaping arts. You can’t know if I don’t!

Teaser Tuesday, Trace

It’s a 🥳 Tuesday Teaser 🥳

So excited… it’s only two weeks away now! Woohoo! Trace is almost here and with him is the anxiety and nervousness that comes with the launch because I never know if people will love or hate a story. Especially one I love, and I love this one. I swoon for this dude. Trace is my kinda alphahole.

Before I wax on about my love for him, ad nauseam, here’s the teaser!

WIP Wednesday – JONAH Fi-nah-lee!

I started working on JONAH on Monday and I’m tired. Writing is exhausting. I’m on an intensive schedule for the rough draft and supposed to be doing roughly 5000 words/day. I don’t wanna write anymore and it’s the third day.

But I do have a WIP hot mess to share. This one is in chapter 3. There is a lot of reaching out and pulling out (get your mind out of the gutter) going on here.

JONAH’s rough draft should be done by the end of the month… or when my soul rots, whichever comes first.

Welcoming Author Tina Donahue to celebrate her new release Sinfully Hot!

Title: Sinfully Hot
Author: Tina Donahue
Genre: Erotic Paranormal Romance
Release Date: July 1, 2022

A hotter-than-sin reaper. A badass demon. Hell doesn’t get steamier than this. 

Zekiel owns the newest nightclub in the French Quarter. The decadent atmosphere draws the corrupt, their blackened souls just what he likes to reap.

Jewel is not amused. Not only has Zekiel cut in on her territory, Satan’s gotten hardcore, upping her quota. All hell’s going to break loose if mortals don’t start selling their souls to her.

The race is on. Zekiel claims victory and wants Jewel as his prize for one evening. Nothing forbidden. Nothing denied. In other words, the whole enchilada, including voyeurism and BDSM. 

After the first promising look and lingering touch, they’re goners…even though they’re supposed to be competitors.

This book was previously published in a box set.

WIP Wednesday: Plotting and Outlining

First, let me just tell you… I could not spell outlining to save my life and had no idea how I was spelling it wrong until I realized I left out the ‘line’ part.

My brain is fried.

So JONAH is next, and I start his book on Monday. I have a schedule already set out for the rough draft. I have August 15th to the 31st to write it. Then, I go into my second draft which is from September 1st – October 1st. It then goes to the betas before I get it for the final draft.

Right now… plotting and outlining.

KILL. ME. NOW.

💕Cover Reveal for TRACE💕

It’s finally TRACE’s cover reveal and I’m so excited. Xpresso Book Tours is handling my cover reveal and Giselle and her hosts are doing an amazing job. I can’t tell you how impressed I am with the response I’ve had so far because this is only a few hours into the cover reveal and most of the time I don’t see much until the end of the day.

WIP Wednesday: What Beta Reading/Editing Really Looks Like

The betas are working on their read-through of TRACE, and Bri just started her final edits. We will be doing our tandem edits this weekend before sending out the book for formatting. This is a snapshot of what part of the first page looks like right now though. However, this doesn’t include my corrections and changes, since I have a different method of doing a ‘final pass.’ Which means reading it on paper and red marking the fuck out of it. Right now, none of my edits have hit this thing yet. I will also make final changes to the story as I catch continuity issues or story flaws. And I’ve caught a few.
