New Short Story Collection

I've just published a new collection of short stories at Amazon, B&N, Smashwords, All Romance eBooks and 1PlaceforRomance. Six from the Heart features six romances, including The Gift, which was previously published as a one-shot. The other five stories will be available as one-shots over the next week or two, but the anthology gives you a great price break.

Six From the Heart

Zoe's Voice--He's not sure who she is, but if she'll keep talking to him in that voice, he'll give her everything.

Second Chances--He had something important to say. She misunderstood--bigtime. He wants to try again--this time without his foot in his mouth.

The Test--The test is positive. What now?

Hope, and Glory--Glory moved away a long time ago. Now she's back, and things are looking up.

Dinner for Two--Lauren won dinner with the third-grade teacher. Her daughter thinks she should go, but Lauren's not so sure.

The Gift--Affrick has loved Gilly since they were children. How will she catch his attention now that he's decided to wed again? (Scottish historical.)

New Short Story from KC Myers

KC Myers, my non-romantic pseudonym (don't tell her I called her that--she'll take it wrong), has just published a fantasy short story called The Dragon at the Top of the World. It's available at Amazon, B&N, and Smashwords.

Here's a sneak peek:

The wind whipped down the side of the mountain like death, knifing through five layers of fur and wool to lash Fox’s skin. He lifted his hand and moved numb fingers inside his icy mitten to reset the slipped warming spell, clinging to the bow of the dogsled with one hand. The sled went on, bumping over the uneven surface, the runners shifting beneath Fox’s feet.

He had to try three times before the spell set. Stunted pine trees to the left and right told him why. He was nearing timberline. Once the trees were gone, Fox could depend on nothing.

The feel of the sled runners under his feet changed as the snowpack became icier. The vibrations shot up Fox’s legs to his knees. Ahead of him, the dark line of seventeen dogs dug in and kept going. Strands of the russet hair that had gained him his mage name escaped Fox’s hood and whipped into his face.

Fox smiled a little, adjusting his stance on the sled runners. At least the dogs were still game to run. He himself was running short on stamina, and even shorter on optimism.

Maybe it was time to turn back. He’d hoped—foolishly, perhaps—that he would find the dragon before he reached the magically debilitating timberline. He should have known better. If it were that easy, someone would have found it before him—Hopping Mouse, or the Great Gray Turtle who had lived two hundred years. Why would he succeed where these far greater wizards had failed? He was, after all, barely thirty, and only a small red Fox.

But he was a fox with a question. He wanted to know why he had been forced to trade his soul for his magic. He wanted to know what had happened to it after he’d given it up. And, most of all, he wanted to know if he could have it back.

New Book Available

This month's release, Mostly Sunny with Chance of Belgian Chocolate, is another re-issue I stole from my evil twin. It was originally released as part of an anthology at Ellora's Cave. I have to say it's still pretty steamy--more so than even The Regan Factor, I'd say. So if you're not into that heat level, you might want to skip on by... I won't mind. (Mom, that means you...)

It's a novella, too, which means all that sex makes it seem even more sexed up...

Now that I've either intrigued or repulsed you, drop by one of the available outlets and check it out!

Carter Allen is the host of the most popular weather show in Denver, probably because he has a voice to die for. Alexa Walker, sent to interview him for the local paper, is sure he can’t possibly be as gorgeous as his voice.

He is, though, and more. But their instant chemistry sets them on a collision course with forces beyond their control—namely Carter’s mother.

Dude! What's Going On Here?!

Things have been going crazy the last few weeks for Where There's a Will. Amazon marked the kindle edition down to $.95 (that's right NINETY-FIVE CENTS--that's less than a DOLLAR), and it has since soared into the top 100 best selling kindle romance books. And it's been hanging out there for a while. I have no idea how long this great deal will be in effect, so go grab it while you can!

In addition, I've seen reviews mentioning that WTaW was the first book the reviewer read on their new kindle, and another review saying it was the reviewer's first book of 2011. The latter review appeared at Paranormal Book Reviews:

"I liked this book. It was a contemporary romance without the paranormal slant that I usually go for (and everyone knows that I have a hard time with the contemporary romances!) but I enjoyed it. Malcolm was kinda yummy. Sometimes I wonder why more men don't wear kilts."

Thanks, Kelly! And I wonder why more men don't wear kilts, too. It should be a law...

Here's a link to the bargain-priced kindle version of WTaW, for those looking for something to load onto that new Christmas kindle. It's so darn cheap I'm tempted to buy a few copies for myself...
