50th Book Release!

on May 30, 2020

Hi all!  It turns out that BROKEN is my 50th release, which is just crazy.  FATED released in March of 2011 and was my first book.  The 50 number includes novellas, as well.  Anyway, it has been a good release week, I’m pretty sure.  Being traditionally published (I have NY publishers), I don’t get numbers until the week after release, so I’ll know more then.  If you have the book, I hope you’re enjoying it!  If you are planning to purchase, today is a great day, considering the numbers for hitting a list close at the end of the day.  See the fascinating info you pick up here?  LOL!

Also, if you’re in Kindle Unlimited, it looks like FALLEN is in KU right now.  It’s VERY rare that my publishers put a book in KU, so if you’re interested, grab it now.  I have no idea how long it’ll be included in KU and am happily surprised to see it there.

Before I forget, we did randomly draw a name for the gift card, and I haven’t heard back from the winner yet.  As soon as I do, we’ll post the name, if it’s okay.  We’ve learned to DM or email winners directly before doing so, because that way, we can’t be scammed by a ‘false winner.’  Yes, it has sadly happened.  Jill was furious.  You guys know Jill – she manages all of my social media?  Well, she’s one of the nicest people on the planet, and seeing her so angry shouldn’t be funny, but it kind of is.  Don’t tell her that, though.

Spring has continued to hit my little neck of the woods.  Today it’s supposed to be around 88 degrees, and tomorrow it drops to 60 and rainy.  Yep, spring.  I’ll keep taking pics of the area, but today it’s smokey out there.  I’m not sure if there’s an early forest fire, or if maybe fields are being burned in the distance.  Anyway, any pics today wouldn’t be much fun. But here’s one I took a few days ago of a nook besides our deck.  It’s a pretty area, I think.

I’ve been continuing with my planner and playing with tons of stickers.  It’s a fun hobby and actually helps anxiety a little bit.  Plus, I zoom with Asa Maria Bradley and Boone Brux (awesome authors) every Sunday night, and we do our planners while gossiping.  Oh, not gossiping.  I mean chatting about the industry and planning our careers.  Yeah.  That.  🙂

So, in the Dark Protector world right now, I’m working on page proofs for Guardian’s Grace, which is Adare’s story, and those are due on Monday.  Also due on Monday is the first chapter of Rebel’s Karma, which will be Benny’s story, and the release date for that book was just set for June 8th of next year.  We also named the next book Immortal’s Honor, and it’ll be Sam’s book.  Whoo hoo!  After that…how about Garrett’s book?  Anybody?  Should we publish Garrett’s book?  🙂

For books hitting the shelves, coming up we have Vixen releasing in August (1001 Dark Nights novella), and then Guardian’s Grace ( Dark Protectors novel) in October and then Driven (Deep Ops Novel) in January.  I’ll also have a couple more releases in there of a new series that I should be able to announce soon.  It’s different than my other books in that it’s a not a romance.  Oh, there’s romance in it (of course), along with suspense and humor.  The first book is called DISORDERLY CONDUCT, and I should have a cover and a blurb to share in June.

Until then, please stay safe and healthy.  I’ll be back!

XO Rebecca

Celebrate with us and win a $50 Gift Card from Amazon!

on May 18, 2020

Howdy all!  I’m celebrating that BROKEN releases in just over a week.  So, I’ve decided to start blogging again – once a week on Tuesdays.  Yes, I know it’s Monday, but I promised my FB Street Team (Rebecca’s Rebels) that I’d post a contest today, so that’s why I’m here a day early.  We’ve had a rainy and beautiful spring here, and I thought I’d share a couple of my pictures along with my planning page for the week.  Also, Broken releases in a week, so I’ve added an exclusive excerpt below, just so you can get a taste of Wolfe and Dana’s romance.

I’ve decided to use one planner for my schedule, which will be busier next year when travel starts up again, and one planner for fitness/wellness, because after this whole Covid-19 situation, I’m getting healthy.  Here are my two plans for the week – both mainly using Happy Planners and their awesome stickers.  In the Big, I still have the fitness/health stuff this week, but next week I don’t.  Also, in the fitness layout, I have a place for a quote or idea from either my time on the nordictrack or the 10 minute mediation with Daily Calm.  Here are the layouts:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Anyway, it’s fun picking up a new hobby, and it has been while since I planned with all of theses fun stickers.  Next up, I have some great shots from around our house during spring.  I hope you like these!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Next up, I have an exclusive excerpt from BROKEN, and instructions for how to enter the contest are below it

Questions zinged around in Dana’s head, but she had to make sure both men were okay before getting down to business. “Did you see who shot at you this time?”

Wolfe shook his head. “No. They just scattered bullets and then got out of there. We had to run to the truck, which was a few blocks away.”

They’d run bleeding like this? Dana ignored the way the room seemed to be swirling around her. “Are you two injured anywhere else?”

“No,” Malcolm said.

“You were knocked out, Mal.” Wolfe’s eyes had gone a deep hue, and his movements were stiff. Though he stood near them, somehow he seemed far away. “It’s my fault.”

“No, it isn’t.” Mal wiped his forehead off, leaving a smear of blood across his eyebrow. “How bad is it?”

Dana turned and bile rose up her throat. The deep cut ran from his temple to above his eye,  and it was still bleeding. Honestly, it was pretty ugly. She couldn’t see bone, but there was no way a bandage would keep that skin together. “You need stitches.”

Wolfe sighed. “Let’s get you to the doctor.”

“No. You stitch it up.” Mal pressed the bloody towel to his head again. “After you take off your shirt so we can see how bad you’ve been shot. We can go to the doctor for you, if you want.”

“I’m fine,” Wolfe all but snarled.

That was it. Just plain and simple it. The room smelled like blood and dirt, and Dana couldn’t take any more. Adrenaline raced through her veins, and her heart rate would not slow down. One or both of them could’ve been killed, and they were acting like it wasn’t the big deal that it really was. “Take off your damn shirt, Wolfe,” she ordered, pressing her hands to her hips. “You have two seconds. Do it, or I’ll do it for you.”

He turned then, stepping into her space, his body vibrating and his eyes ablaze. “Try it.”

The Dark Protectors have Returned…Get a Free Booklet!

on June 13, 2018

Hi All!

So, we’re counting down the days until Vampire’s Faith releases on Tuesday (June 19th)!  This is a huge return to the Dark Protector series, but it kicks off a whole new series arc, so it’s a great place for new fans to jump into the world of the Realm.  Existing fans will see some folks they recognize, too.  🙂

For anybody who preorders the book, we’re offering a free booklet of Zane Kyllwood and Janie’s romance up until Marked, which is their book.  Even if you haven’t read the earlier books, it’s a fun read to see how their childhood friendship develops into an adult romance.  But, and I can’t stress this enough, we’re only offering it to people who preorder Vampire’s Faith.  We won’t be giving it away afterward like we have with other free content.  At least not for a year or two.  Here is the link to fill out the form to receive the booklet.  The booklet will be sent about a week after release day.

Info on Vampire’s Faith is below, and for those of you who have questions, let me tell you that Vampire’s Faith takes place right after the Epilogue in Marked, when Hope is seven years old.  Dage is still king, whether he likes it or not.  LOL!  :). Also, Ronan is not Dage’s son or dad.  You’ll understand when you read the book.  Enjoy!!!

“Spicy romantic interplay; highly recommended.”

Vampire Ronan Kayrs wasn’t supposed to survive the savage sacrifice he willingly endured to rid the world of the ultimate evil. He wasn’t supposed to emerge in this time and place, and he sure as hell wasn’t supposed to finally touch the woman who’s haunted his dreams for centuries. Yet here he is, in an era where vampires are hidden, the enemy has grown stronger, and his mate has no idea of the power she holds.

Dr. Faith Cooper is flummoxed by irrefutable proof that not only do vampires exist . . . they’re hot blooded, able to walk in sunlight, and shockingly sexy. Faith has always depended on science, but the restlessness she feels around this predatory male defies reason. Especially when it grows into a hunger only he can satisfy—that is if they can survive the evil hunting them both.
