Tuesday Deals and Steals: Going Back to Find You





It's almost Halloween! And how better to celebrate than by making Going Back to Find You FREE for the next five days? Also, it'll be coming off Kindle Unlimited in a few weeks--which is great if you buy your books elsewhere, not so great if you're a KU aficionado. Although, I gotta say, if you DO read all your books on KU? Yeah, you've likely been missing this anyway. 


This is a bit of a spin-off of my Children of Night series. It's still Clan Quintano, but the Beyond the CofN books focus on some of the less-central family members. Like Jason, who should up briefly in In the Dark, and then was never seen again--until now! I LOVE him in this book. He's such a sweetheart. He's not the strongest vampire in the nest, but he's got a lot of heart. Also, I love second chance romances so there's that, as well. You can find it here:

Going Back To Find You

Because even a vampire deserves a second chance. 

When Jason Cook boarded the train to San Francisco, he didn't plan on coming back. He never really thought he'd see Nebraska or Lizbeth Petersen ever again. But when an unexpected turn of events threatens the woman he'd been forced to leave behind, he has no choice but to go back and try to make things right. 

Warning: This is not a drill. Vampires are invading your favorite, small Nebraska town this Halloween. Does this mean Type-O flavored Booze will soon be the new rage in Sapphire Falls? Hopefully, it won't come to that. But you never can tell... 

​

***This story was originally released as part of the Sapphire Falls Kindle World.***

Mug Shot: Halloween House Mug


 

Ooh, is this not the cutest mug? The illustrations on each side are slightly different, which I love. And it's just playful and colorful and adorable. And it's got the gilt handle which I think has been one of the big themes for mugs this year. I really don't want to think too hard about why that might be the case, because I have several mugs like that now, and I don't want to have to get rid of them all.  

So that's it really. It's a cute, glittery, fun, colorful Halloween-themed mug that's not shaped or colored like a pumpkin. Not that I have anything against pumpkin shaped or colored mugs, I have several of those, too.

Mug Shot: Jeans Fit
































I don't know why I like this mug. And I can't for the life of me remember where I got it. But it's cute and...sort of true.

Anyway, here's the link to a playlist all about Blue Jeans.

Mug Shot: Sarcasm Mug


 

I love sarcasm. One of the most depressing aspects of online communication is how sarcasm so easily gets lost in translation. I think we need to bring that back. 

Things I love about this mug: The shape, the satin finish, the unglazed bottom, the mid-century modern/diner-y vibe of the illustration. Actually, the shape's pretty MCM, too, come to think of it. As is the color. So, yeah. All in all, this mug is very "me". And that's NOT sarcasm, btw.

What I'm Reading: Hard to Get (Kelly Jamieson)


I've been so excited for this book! I love Kelly's books, It's a brand new series--eek! It's set in Vancouver, which I also love. And the series is built around a losing team --which is so fun, and so different. And of course, the characters are great. But then I started reading and realized that the team's new coach is none other than Marc Dupuis, the hero of one of Kelly's earlier books, Major Misconduct. Squee!!!

And have I mentioned the dogs? Buy it. Read it. Thank me later.

HARD TO GET

Kelly Jamieson



STELLA

I’ve built a life I’m proud of - my own successful business, a beautiful condo, amazing friends, and a spoiled dog named Betty who takes up an entire king-sized bed! My life is exactly the way I want it. I know from experience that I need to keep relationships at a distance. A little fun? Fine. Commitment? Absolutely not.

Then I meet Jayden Wood in the park after our dogs nearly tangle their leashes together. He’s charming and way too attractive for my peace of mind. As a pro hockey player stuck on a struggling team, Jayden already has enough chaos in his life. But then our paths keep crossing. At the coffee shop. In the park. Around the city. Jayden calls it fate.

I swear he’s impossible to get rid of. Now the man who thrives on competition has decided I’m his next challenge—and he’s determined to prove I’m not as hard to get as I pretend to be.

Mug Shot: Tentacles



 
One of my son's clients made this mug. I don't know if it's actually supposed to look like tentacles, but that's how it looks to me, so you get a seacoast background. Sorry, not sorry. 

It's possible that what's put me in mind of sea creatures is the fact that The Call of the Sea is coming out in just five days! Read about it below. 

This mug is so lovely and textured. And it's a work of art.
