Take By The Wolf Part 2 Released!


I'm proud to announce the release of Taken By The Wolf Part 2! This is the second book in the exciting "Bucklin Wolves" series.

Although she felt more captive than guest, Eva still surrendered her body to Rowan, the werewolf sheriff who’s as handsome as he is deadly. The sex was incredible, but where do they go from there, and why is Rowan calling her his mate?
Unable to resist temptation Rowan claimed the curvy Eva as his own, but why hasn't the familiar mating bond formed?
Has Eva accepted him as her mate or is she biding time until she can escape?

Taken By The Wolf 2 is a 19,000 word bbw werewolf/shifter romance. It is part two in the Taken By The Wolf serial and the second book in the Bucklin Wolves series.
It contains adult content and is not intended for readers under the age of 18.

Release Schedule. This is a fluid process.

Hello dearest readers, this post will be a contradiction to my last one (which I removed to avoid confusion).

I had a plan for the Bucklin Wolves, one in which I was going to do the first part as a three story serial and then the rest as longer novels.

Unfortunately due to proofreading constraints (a lot goes into putting these books out and a lot of schedules have to mesh) I would be unable to release the second characters story arch until September.

I figured out that my readers would not be happy finishing the first arc in Mid-July and then waiting until September to get the next installment.

So as a result I will have to serialize the other character arcs too. This is the only way I can keep bringing you the Bucklin Wolves story in a timely manner. I hope you all understand!

Also due to the July 4th holiday the third part of Taken By The Wolf will be released a few days later than the two week mark.

Here is the tentative release schedule for upcoming works:

June 23rd: Taken By The Wolf Part 2

July 11th: Taken By The Wolf Part 3

July 23rd: Lost Alpha Collection (including bonus story)

August 8th (very tentative): Hawk's Story (working title) Part 1

Hawk's Story will be the second serialized part of the Bucklin Wolves. The story will obviously follow Hawk, alpha of the Skyvale pack. Hawk's Story is just a working title and not what the final part will be called.

And not to worry, there will be plenty of Rowan and Eva in Hawk's story!

I know that's nearly a month between the end of Taken and the start of Hawk's story, but I did say there would be a brief cooling off period between serialized parts when I first started the Bucklin Wolves adventure. I hope you, dearest reader will understand.

But, no need to fear, there will still be the Lost Alpha Collection with a bonus story to keep you good and full on Jessica Ryan in that time. Please remember, if you are a member of my mailing list then you will get the bonus story for free!

I'm very excited with the direction the Bucklin Wolves is going and it will continue to have all the adventure and steaminess you have come to expect from my works.

Thank you all for being such great readers.

Taken By The Wolf Part 1 Released!


I am proud to announce the release of Taken By The Wolf Part 1. This novella is the start of something new and exciting for my readers.

Taken By The Wolf Part 1 will be the first in a three-part serial set in the town of Bucklin, a werewolf owned community in rural Oklahoma. This is only the first serial amongst several that will detail the lives and relationships of the Bucklin Wolves.

Eva Thompson never wanted to be hustling drinks at Cowboy's Landing, but she’s got bills to pay, and she sure as heck isn’t waiting around to be rescued. 

 Bad boy Rowan, is no knight in shining armor. He’s the Sheriff for Bucklin, a remote town populated by werewolves. He’s left home on a mission, and doesn’t have time to get distracted by a curvy human waitress. 

There are rules about how to handle humans who find out what they are, but when Eva inadvertently sees Rowan’s furrier side, he can’t bring himself to hurt her. Whether she likes it or not, Eva’s coming back to Bucklin with him, and he isn't about to let her go. And call it Stockholm’s Syndrome, but Eva’s starting to think she’d rather end up in her sexy captor's bed than back in Cowboy's Landing. 

Taken By The Wolf Part 1 is and 18,500 word novella and the first in a three part serial set in the exciting world of the Bucklin Wolves.

I expect to release each part of this serial every other week followed by a brief cooling off period before moving to the next serial that focuses on the Bucklin Wolves.

Still working!

I suppose I've been silent for a bit now. Sorry about that.

I've been hard at work on Taken by the Wolf, my next serial. It'll be the first serial in the Bucklin Wolves series. Plus my regular day job has been kicking my butt!

I'm excited about Taken by the Wolf, it could be the start of something great for myself and my readers. I hope you will enjoy it as much as you did the Lost Alpha series.

I tentatively expect to release it by the middle of June. As always the first book in the series will be permafree. It'll take Amazon a bit to make the book free so it'll be .99 there until the get with the program.

Keep leaving me feedback and reviews, everything you say is valuable to me as writer.
