Books, Wild Riders Series, Writing & Publishing

Berkley sent me my first look copy of RIDING TEMPTATION! It’s so pretty! I stroked the cover, held it close, flipped through the pages! I so can’t wait for y’all to see this book. Only a month to go before release. (Oct 7th!!!!)

Riding Temptation Back Here’s the back

(You have to forgive us authors. We get awfully excited when we get to hold our books in our hands for the very first time. This is my…uh…40 somethingth book, though not all of those are in print. Still, the feeling is still as awesome as the first one.)

 

I also received an incredible 4 1/2 Star review for RIDING TEMPTATION from Romantic Times Bookreviews Magazine’s October issue. Keitha Hart said:

The second novel in the Wild Riders series is a sexy, fast-action thrill ride! Every interaction between the central charactes is infused with passion and sexual tension…With its well-developed characters and entralling plot, readers will be drawn into the romantic and suspenseful storyline.

Thank you Keitha!

You can read all about my Wild Riders series here, including excerpts and links to buy. RIDING TEMPTATION is the second book in the series but stands alone. Though really, you should read RIDING WILD which is out now and available everywhere. Really. :giggle:

RAZOR GIRL by Marianne Mancusi

 

Razor

Molly Anderson is not your average twenty-one-year-old. It’s been six years since she and her family escaped into a bunker, led by her conspiracy theorist father and his foreknowledge of a plot to bring about the apocalypse. But her father’s precautions didn’t stop there. Molly is now built to survive.
Yes, Ian Anderson’s favorite book gave him ideas on how to “improve” his daughter. Molly is faster, stronger, and her ocular implants and razor-tipped nails set her apart. Apart, when—venturing alone out of the bunker and into a plague ravaged, monster-ridden wilderness—what Molly needs most is togetherness. Chase Griffin, a friend from her past, is her best bet. But while he and others have miraculously survived, the kind boy has become a tormented man. Together, these remnants of humanity must struggle toward trusting each other and journey to the one place Molly’s father believed all civilization would be reborn: the Magic Kingdom, where everyone knows it’s a small world after all.

One Down, One To Go

UNRAVELED has been cleaned up, prettified and turned into my editor. One project off the desk! :glee:

Now onto TAKEN BY SIN. I received the revisions from my editor, so now I need to dive in and tackle this project. It’s major, so this may take awhile.

And I’m sick. *glares at whoever threw germs my way*.  I so don’t have time to be sick. I didn’t pencil a cold into my schedule. :sigh:

But, hopefully I’ll have some good news to share soon. ;;)
