CONTEST IS CLOSED! 🙂
UPDATE: Congrats to Julie for winning! (Sorry about the email mixup and the post commenting mixup!). 🙂
Update: The comment section is now working at the bottom of the post. YAY!
Hi all!
So, we updated the website. What do you think? Nice, right? :). To celebrate, I’m having a contest to give away a $50 Amazon gift card. To enter, just comment on the blog below and tell me your best day of the summer so far. “I saw a good movie,” is a perfectly fine response! (We’re also checking to make sure the blog still works and goes to subscribers – LOL!). **If you are seeing this blog on GoodReads or Amazon or wherever the blog goes out, you MUST comment in the blog comment section on the Website to enter the contest. We’ll randomly draw a name in a week (next Friday), so you have plenty of time to enter. Once we draw a name, we’ll update the blog at the top to let you know.
Those of you still here, how about an update? 🙂
Personally, I had a ball at Comic Con in San Diego and plan to blog a bit about the adventure coming up. The summer is winding down, the kids are about to go back to school, and we have wild fires kind of surrounding us. We’re not in any danger (knock on wood), but there are a lot of folks who might be, so keep a good thought. I’m just writing away and knocking down deadlines. I’ve also taken up Mah Jongg with my mom, sisters, and friends…and yesterday the gods were not friendly to me. Very few jokers in my hand all day! What’s up with that?
On a professional front, a lot of going on!
Storm Gathering releases on September 19th. It’s the fourth book in the Scorpius Syndrome series, and it has been named an Amazon pick of the month for September! It features Greyson Storm and Maureen Shadow. You might remember that Grey kidnapped Moe in Shadow Falling, and let’s just say she isn’t happy about it. But he’s so sexy…
Wicked Kiss and Wicked Bite hit the USA Today Bestseller list in July and August, respectively. Thank you so much! I’m hoping to be able to share some news about the Dark Protector world very soon. Stay tuned.
In the back of Wicked Bite, there’s an excerpt THE HIDDEN, which is the first book in a new series called The Requisition Force. The new series will debut in October of 2018. I’m really excited about it!
Twisted Truths, Book 3 in the Blood Brother series, releases on November 14th, which also happens to be my birthday. Twisted Truths is about Denver and Noni. Their romance has been hinted at for the last couple of books, so you might know a bit about them already. Let’s just say their reunion is a bit explosive. Okay. A lot explosive. This is the final book in the Blood Brothers/Sin Brothers books. I really hope you enjoy it!
In other news, the Scorpius Syndrome books are now available in audio for those of you who like audio books. They’re read by the amazing Michael Pauley, and I think he does a fantastic job. He’s working on Storm Gathering as we speak, so that one would be ready right around release time. Also, I hired Stella Bloom (she’s awesome and does a bunch of Kristen Ashley’s books) as the narrator for Under the Covers, Rising Assets, and Over the Top from the Maverick Montana series. Under the Covers and Rising Assets are available now, and Over the Top is being narrated as we speak. The first book, Against the Wall, is also available in audio.
I hope you had a wonderful summer, and thank you for being here! Now that the website is all updated, I’m planning on blogging maybe once a week just for fun. Good luck in the contest!

Comments are back!
YAY!
I had time to read a book!!!
A relaxing day with out having to do a dang thing.
Best day of summer for me was after having shoulder surgery in Jan. I could finally hug my daughter,she thought I was crazy when I cried but thats how this crazy mama rolls. I devour all your books as they come out so I am looking forward to this one releasing.
i got selected to review some books that i really wanted to read ( and they were even better than what i imagined)
Dereks Bentley concert
I think my best day of summer was finally being able to get in my pool. (I had gallbladder surgery and wasn’t able to get in until August.) It was a short visit (as it rained-LOL) but it was sweet.
Hi Rebecca,
Love, love, love all the new info! I can’t wait Twisted Truths! Thanks for the chance — and thanks for writing!!

Oh yes, my favorite part of the summer? My cousin’s annual pool party in New Jersey!!
Thanks,
My friends flew in to visit me and we spent a fun day together
A family reunion/pool party that was a blast. Laughter, quality visit time and great food!
The best day of my summer was 7/8, which was my daughter’s wedding and the day I gained a son 🙂
I was able to spend time with family and friends quite often this summer and enjoyed every minute!
Time spent with family was lovely.
We took my daughter for a college visit– 4 1/2 hrs. away. It was just the three of us, and we made it a vacation. It will always be a favorite memory of this summer, even though I wish she would have picked somewhere closer to home. She’s our youngest:(
My husband and I went to Disney World for our birthdays, just us…no kids!
My best day of summer was when I went to Philadelphia and saw the fireworks.
Except for a couple of hot days, summer skipped us. We’ve done absolutely bupkis so far this year. My husband’s health hasn’t been good this year. Now our daughter is talking about flights home for Christmas already. I’M NOT READY!! I knew I should have left the tree up. sigh….. My to read list is getting longer and longer. I can’t wait to read STORM GATHERING. I hope Mo kicks some ass. 😉
I had a great summer driving for first time myself to Six Flags Great America Hurricane Harbor with my kids. I have been to Great America plenty of times when way younger but never drove it.
I spent a fabulous day with my boys (husband and son) in Durango eating good food, enjoying gorgeous scenery, and checking out the fish hatchery. I’ve also read more books this summer than I have in a LONG time!! ❤️ Your work!!
I had a fun day at the park.
My best days of my summer were the days I was on vacation in Turkey visiting family, and meeting one of my best book buddies in real life for the first time
My best day so far was my Granddaughter’s 18th Birthday Party! Held it at the lake, with swimming, boating and tubing! Great fun, good food! Lots of family and friends. Very enjoyable time!
I was able to visit my daughter and 3 grandsons who live in another state. It was nice because I don’t get to see them very often 😊
The best day of summer is also bittersweet. My youngest son is a chef and started his dream job on a cruise ship. So even though i wouldnt see him for months at a time, he was living his dream of cooking and seeing the world.
Spending time with my kids. My daughter just finished her first year of college so it was nice to have them both home. Upcoming day I’m so excited about – Ed Sheeran concert on September 8th!!!
A day spent lying in the sun peacefully with nothing on my mind and nothing on my schedule.
A day home alone doing nothing. Just relaxing and binge watching tv.
The best day of the summer was any day I didn’t have to work and I could spend hours doing nothing but reading. I only had a handful of those and they were wonderful!
Got to go to the zoo to see the new exhibit!
Had my very own Storm Gathering on the Day of Eclipse: In the path of total darkness…had my glasses, but thunderstorm hit minutes before the eclipse. Missed the big show, but loved the hype!
My best day this summer so far was a Friday (my alternate work day OFF), I woke up at 0600 (very late considering I am at the bus stop at 0550). I made myself breakfast and read for the next three hours, took a break – had myself some lunch and read again. Went to sleep while reading. This is great because I didn’t have any appointments or other things I had to do. I have a 2 hour each way commute to work. It was a wonderful day.
My best of day of Summer was having a complete day out where I got to go and see the movie “The Big Sick.” It was a really good movie and I got to spend some time with a childhood friend I had not seen in a while.
The day I realized Harvey missed us.

I’ve read some great books this summer!!!
I read the Wicked series this summer. Also the Scorpius series as well. I also discovered the 1001 novellas. So much fun stuff. Looking forward to the The Hidden and new Dark Protectors. I love the difference in all your series and the different characters! Thanks for writing ! I’ll be looking for the blog too.
The best day of this summer was when my 19 year old daughter surprised me with an ultrasound picture of my soon-to-be grandbaby. My FIRST!!
I am beyond the moon excited!!
Looking good. My best day of summer was when I visited a Greek Island. It was just beautiful! Thank you!
I read a great book this summer “Deadly Silence”.
My best day was yesterday. I had my whole family plus dogs with me to cheer for our favorite college football team. Our team won! Also, we had a big send-off for my son and his wife as they move to Boston. Family get-togethers are a highlight in my life.
I have more than one best day. Any time family gets together it’s a great day.
Well Sept 9th is my bday and a 50 dollar gift card sure would make a very nice gift. Jyst saying. Hint, hint, nudge, nudge. Lmao
My best day was seeing my sister after a year in Michigan (from NC). We had a great 2 weeks with a lot of adventures but seeing her was the best part!
The beach was gorgeous!!
The best day of the summer for me was Saturday. My whole family and I went to Golden Coral Buffet to celebrate my birthday. I had never been there and wanted to try it. There were 15 of us and it was great.
The day I realized the dear friends I have in my life!
Best day this summer…was when I finished all the work for my Master’s degree!!!
Thanks for all the great reads.
I spent time with my family and my middle son graduated high school!!
Good luck on the upcoming releases!!
Our youngest went back to school already. They start early in FL. 🙂
Best day was a concert at Jones Beach with my husband. We saw Chicago and Doobie Brothers. Beautiful night on the ocean, good music and great company.
Had a great family reunion!!!
The best summer day was a day we all stayed in our jammies and watched movies with popcorn and snowballs.
I walked 5 miles just because. LOL
Hmm best day of summer so far for me was probably when my parents, sister, and I spent the entire day at the pool after a good BBQ 🙂 We don’t always have time to meet up, so that was kinda cool.
My best day of summer was the time when I started reading sin brother series. Cheeky but the truth

It’s been a rough summer with my Dad being diagnosed with cancer. Lots of traveling attempting to decide what to do. I will say my best day was when final decision was made and treatment was then scheduled.
I’m at the beach with family right now! Long drive from home, but can’t beat a SC beach!
I took my niece and nephew to an outdoor movie in the park. So fun!
I had to work through out this summer , but the best day of this summer will have to be the Last Saturday of Summer me and a colleague of mine went to a Book Fair. Not only bought a ton of books for my personal library but got to meet a lot of introverts who were tonally in their element, just like me coming out of their shells. NO having fun sorting, labeling ad embossing the book i bought. 🙂
warm (not hot & muggy) day w/ a nice breeze & sunshine spent relaxing outside on the lounger with a good book and nothing else to do or worry about, just reading, relaxing and enjoying the sounds of the birds, squirrels and breeze with the occasional neighbor kid or dog playing.
Working from home — my job changed so I was able to do everything from home, spend more time with my kids and do fun things with them! My oldest is a senior this year so it was great timing!
The best day of my summer was picking my daughter up from her first long camp (10 days!). They were not permitted technology at camp, so the only communication available was old-fashioned letters. It was painful for me…she clearly didn’t have time to write every day and I missed hearing about her every moment and worried CONSTANTLY. Picking her up was both a relief and a wonderful reminder of how much she really does love me and missed me:-)
Best day this summer was in July when my I took part in my (much awaited) grandson’s birth and then getting my chance to hold him, after mom and dad, of course.
My daughter and I spent a day together at the beach prior to her having surgery that was going to keep her inside for the foreseeable future and me taking care of her until she was back on her feet again. It was such a sweet special day. We talked about everything and anything and sometimes nothing at all. It was absolutely beautiful and I am blessed to have her as my daughter and more so to have her as my friend.
Well dang. I should’ve just been patient.
Nah – that’s my fault. I usually post a note in the blog that if it’s the first time somebody has commented on the blog, the comment has to be approved, and sometimes it takes a little time. I forgot to post that. 🙂
Sorry if this is a repeat. It keeps saying it is, but it’s not posting. So I’m adding to it to see if I can trick it.

I read so many great books! 20, just last month <3
My favorite day every summer is the first day of summer – the day after the final teacher/staff workday of public schools. It peaceful knowing we are getting a most welcome break!
My best moment this summer was meeting the daughter that I put up for adoption in my teens. We had talked a few times but we finally met. It was so easy to be with her and it was like we had always known each other. She has a son and he is my only grandchild. He is such a nice boy. I am so glad to finally get to know them both.
Best day was having nothing to do! Which meant I got some quality book time and had a family picnic in the living room floor while watching movies with my kids!
So excited for storming gathering and twisted truths to be released!
Best day of the Summer was celebrating my birthday with an afternoon at the beach with my husband and kids.
My best day this summer was the day I had my third little guy. I’m thoroughly outnumbered around here, but I wouldn’t trade my boys for anything!
Hi Rebecca!
My best day this summer was my son’s birthday. He turned 12.
I love the updates to your website!
Hanging out with my kids always makes the Summer amazing. But my favorite was our vacation in Maine. We go every year and it’s always a relaxing but crazy week.
My best day of summer so far was moving my daughter into her dorm. She a freshman I’m so proud of her.
Coming home! I was gone for work. They sent me to beautiful St George Utah. It was a wonderful trip but coming home and seeing my kids, grandkids and my nieces and nephew! There is nothing like being home with your family.
Slept in on one day! Rare occasion for me!
My best day this summer was when my grandson was born; my daughter and her husband asked me to be there and help with the birth.
* I thought I already submitted this but didn’t see it on here.
I left a comment before but it’s not showing up. My best day was one relaxing all day at the beach!
I’ve had so many good days this summer, it’s hard to pick one. Probably attending the Steelers/Colts preseason game at Heinz Field with the hubs. Such an experience!
FYI: Loved the Dark Protectors series, enjoying the Realm Enforcers series.
I was actually down an depressed walking with my head hung low with my guitar an someone squealed the tires an pulled up beside me well me being me I was automatically ready to throw hands on a confrontation …well the guy gets out comes around the vehicle an my heart dropped its one of my best friends I havent seen in years an he happens to have a guitar in the back so set on this brick wall on main street in my town an played for a couple of hours..so that was the best summer day I’ve had
Having a movie night with popcorn,candy, soda etc. and a big screen along with family is a well spend night

Well I’m very excited for the upcoming summer and hopefully being able to see my beautiful grandchildren and give them squishy hugs🤪
Covid cost us our summer, so not much to enthuse about except… my husband has become a masterful cook/ chef. He loves gadgets and yes, organizing containers with labels because without the labels, he can’t “find” anything in the pantry! He’s a a gem.
Today were are going together for the first time to may best place
Love riding my motorcycle!
Hi Chefs Path so this summer was one of those I will never forget , so much planned & then cancelled but of course I made the best of the season !! Living by the beach going almost everyday unless it was raining was something to do considering everything was closed I learned how to make some special treats joined some websites to learn how to bake & create and had my friends & family test all I made !! Got a couple of nice things from you guys like my storage containers & donut bake wear & some piping bags & tips kept my busy & happy now I’m going to be selling some of my products that I make very exciting to be able to find out at age 56 that this is something I love doing even though I always loved cooking food but making my own designs for baking is definitely a passion I never knew I had !! Now to get more backing ware is something I’m working on little at a time & love it so thank you Chefs Path for bringing me to a path I would have never ever would have dreamed of all because everything was closed by me nothing to do & decided to venture out to new beginnings!! Bake on my fellow Chefs
Awesome containers. I love how versatile they are and they made organizing so simple
The best day of the summer was I got to ho see a movie with my 12 year old son finally. I am a single mom and with the pandemic, I am at home with my grandkids everyday so it was go to get some time with my son.
Summer of 2020…🤔 Let’s just pray that 2021 is better!
I have spent the last couple weeks cleaning out closets, cabinets and drawers. Re-organizing my kitchen pantry has been such a delight and a thrill just to see what a difference a little organization can do. I am proud of the results so far l, but it’s still a work in progress. Chefs Path containers are the bomb. Can’t wait to get more.
A beautiful picnic with my husband in the park
Were in March right now,I woke up this morning the sun is bright and cheery and the crows are flying in front of our living room windows.In the back ground you can see the snowy mountains.what a perfect sscenery.
