Open Thread for Authors (Author Promo) for May 2016

Welcome to the Promotional Thread for Authors. What’s this you say? I read quite a few blogs outside the romance blogosphere and many of the big ones have a daily open thread where the commenters drive the bus.
The rules for Author Promo Night Open Thread are as follows:
The book has to be released in that month (i.e., anything released during the last week of February would be a March release)
You can post for yourself or you can have a friend post for you if the idea of posting about your book paralyzes you .
No self published authors unless you write romance. No, I am not a POD hater, I am just thinking about the manageability of the thread.
Think about the readership. I.e., does your non fiction book about psoriasis really fit?
This one is more of a guideline than a rule, but be smart about your comment because if it is just a link to your website and the title of your book, I doubt you are going to get any interest.
DA reserves the right to delete the post if it promotes objectionable content (i.e., no daddy/daughter incest recommends are going to be allowed. Sorry.)
That’s it. Post away
Want to live forever?
You’re not the only one.

Thank you for the opportunity, Jane!
James Pasquino has failed as a man, as a priest, and as a daemon, but he has one last shot at redemption. All he needs to do is protect one human woman who may hold the key to preventing Armageddon.
Easy enough…if he can convince her she needs his protection.

Earth Bound, the third book in the Fly Me to the Moon series that Genevieve Turner and I write, will release May 11:
Houston, Texas, 1961
The race to the moon is on, and engineer Eugene Parsons has two enemies: danger and distraction. Nothing is more distracting than his attraction to the brilliant, beautiful computer scientist on his team, but he’s determined to overcome it since he needs her to help America win.
Charlie Eason is used to men underestimating her. It comes with being a woman in engineering, but it’s worth it to join the space race—even if she can’t figure out what’s behind the intense looks one tightly wound engineer keeps sending her. But life isn’t as unemotional or predictable as code, and things soon boil over with the intriguingly demanding Parsons.
With every launch, their secret affair grows thornier. The lines between work and play tangle even as Parsons and Charlie try to keep them separate. But when a mission goes wrong, they’ll have to put aside their pride for the greater good—and discover that matters of the heart have a logic all their own.

The first in a new series I’m doing for Montlake releases at the end of May (24th) and I’m so excited about Charmingly Yours. Thanks for letting me share.
When a cherished friend dies of cancer, Rosemary, Jess and Eden learn she’s left them her charm bracelet and a request – use the money she’d been saving to travel the world to do something they’ve dreamed about. In this first Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants meets Sex and the City adventure, Rosemary heads to Soho and runs into a sexy pizza maker in Little Italy. Their two week fling is supposed to be temporary but when love strikes in the middle of NYC, maybe a happily ever after is on the horizon….even if it means the horizon is in Morning Glory, Mississippi.

A $3.99 read that’s perfect for the beach, the lake…or your sofa :)
Thanks again!
Thank you for opening this post. Very kind of you.
My sexy, and free, short “Pride Weekend” is available at Dreamspinner Press and All Romance eBooks. It’s the second book in my Buchanan House series and includes Chapter One of my upcoming novel Tiny House (to be released 4/29).
Overworked cubicle jockey Adam Byron wants to attend Oregon Coast Pride in style but the price of a room at Buchanan House, a popular gay retreat on the central coast, is beyond his budget. So he won’t miss out, he advertises online for someone to share expenses. Corporate drone Silas Grant responds to Adam’s ad, and the two get to know each other via texts before meeting at the coast. They agree on a no-pressure roommate arrangement, yet once they meet face-to-face, their attraction is undeniable. Desire might simmer well beyond Pride weekend, no matter how hard Adam and Silas try to live up to their noncommitment pact.

Thank you and have a lovely week!

My latest release is Best Friends with the Billionaire, a (you guessed it) friends-to-lovers romance.
Cassie Cooper isn’t the kind of girl who turns heads. But when her best friend, billionaire Kirk Rochester, asks her to be his pretend girlfriend to thwart a potential business partner’s advances, Cassie unleashes her feminine side, hoping he’ll notice. Disillusioned by a rough marriage, Kirk values friendship more than romance. Even though he can’t ignore how sexy Cassie is playing the role of his girlfriend, he refuses to risk destroying his heart again by falling in love with her.
Read the first chapter and buy a copy at Entangled Publishing
