Connery yodelHello, ReaderFolk!

Connery on the dogwalk Yep, I skipped a month...I missed you all! And you can see from the jam-packed nature of this this newsletter that it ought to have been two smaller newsletters... But that's the way it is around here with doubled-up deadlines and production work...and spring trialing season upon us! (Does Connery have fun on the dogwalk, or what?) We're starting up after a long furlough and having fun inching toward Connery's MACH while Belle collects Qs toward additional super-titles (and may start running in some games classes for the fun of it!).

I hardly know what I'm working on at the moment--proposals and second draft on Wolf Hunt and production on Reckoners and just about to dive into first draft for the second Reckoners book. Oohhh, I just know it's going to be as fun to write as the first!

Hey! Do you TWITTER? You can find me here, or check out Connery's updates here. Of course, he's much more popular than I am. A dogmom could get a complex!

(excerpt)


At dusk he prowled the Southwest, a huge, sleek black jaguar with startling blue eyes and a man’s thoughts. A shape-shifting Sentinel, Dolan Treviño projected an intensely animalistic aura that hid the scars of his past. Yet as fierce as his pride was, this immensely powerful guardian needed the intuition and spirit of an innocent horse trainer to find redemption.

The moment he set foot on her ranch, Meghan Lawrence rejected the shape-shifter’s protection—but she couldn’t turn her back on her family legacy. Her mother had died protecting a magical manuscript that the Sentinels’ dark counterparts would now do anything to recover. With an unbreakable will and all-consuming passion, only Dolan possessed the strength to save Meghan. But was she strong enough to tame the beast within?

"Startling twists and intriguing dilemmas make the innovative premise of JAGUAR NIGHT compellingly fascinating." --Cataromance

(excerpt)

Tayla Garrett, Sentinel and cheetah shapeshifter, has known her new partner, Mark Burton, for years. Although Tayla has always been drawn to Mark, her natural exuberance and strength has been the make-or-break in one too many relationships, and she keeps her distance; if Mark finds her stunning and completely beguiling, he nonetheless respects her obvious disinterest. But Tayla's self-doubts are leaking over into her work, and with a critical mission before her, no one can afford a misstep.

With Tayla under emphatic orders to get her head straight--whatever it takes--and Mark under equally emphatic orders to get his new partner working to full potential--whatever it takes--they've got their hands full...and that's before the timetable moves up to now. But being who they are and being what they are--and being what they quickly become to each other--they'll get the job done.

Whatever it takes...
