Price drop: Fantasized By You (LITC, #2) + Cute Puppy Pictures

It’s opening pheasant season weekend, and my dog, Gunner, is extremely gun-shy (ironic, huh?). So, while I have a 100-lb labrador glued to my side all weekend (cute, huh?), I thought I would post about the price drop on the second book in my Love in the City series, Fantasized By You.

11122760

If you haven’t had a chance to read Harper and Maverick’s story, now is the time, especially since I’m in the middle of writing the third book in the series! The price was originally $4.99, but now it’s $3.99 on Amazon, iBooks, B&N, and Kobo! So, I hope you check it out and let your fellow book lovers know about the price drop; I’d greatly appreciate it! They don’t need to read Wanted By You (Love in the City, #1) to read Fantasized By You. They can be read as standalones.

In the meantime, I hope you all have a wonderful weekend! I’ll just be over here hanging out with these cute pups and making sure the bigger one doesn’t have an anxiety attack over gunshots. Did I mention we got a black lab puppy? His name is Stag. Sound familiar? 🙂

Seven 11 Blog Hop

Seven 11 blog hop

I’m so excited to be part of the Seven 11 Blog Hop, and today marks our first hop! Eleven authors, including myself, are doing this blog hop where on the 11th of each month we post seven lines from one of our writing projects. It can be a published piece or a piece we’re currently working on. And since the first book in my Love in the City series, Wanted By You, is currently *FREE* on iBooks and Amazon for a limited time, I’ve decided to share seven lines from Carter and Ellyson’s story:

“The old wooden door creaked as it opened and a familiar sensation swept over me, making every nerve in my body stand up in alert and my teeth pull at my bottom lip. The beat in my chest thumped louder and louder, rattling every bone in my body, boiling every ounce of blood running through my system like a volcano getting ready to erupt.

And then I felt it again.

The fluttering from within.

The notorious butterflies that I hadn’t felt in the past five years were back, and only one guy had that kind of magic.”

The second book in the Love in the City series, Fantasized By You, releases on July 14th, so now is the perfect time to start the series if you haven’t yet! The series follows a group of friends looking for love in the city and each book is about a different couple, but you will continue to read about the whole gang in each book. I love them all too much to leave any of them out!

A Dream Come True

I’m officially a published author.

How do I know this?

1. Two bloggers made teasers for my book.

2. Another blogger included GIFs in her review.

3. You can find me on Amazon, iBooks, and Barnes & Noble.

4. I found jellyfish pirating my book.

At first, I was pissed. I still am pissed because my book is $3.99! You can’t even get a meal at a fast food restaurant for that cheap anymore. So, the fact that people have to steal my book because they can’t “afford” it pisses me off.

With that being said, screw all those damn jellyfish! I know I have loyal readers out there who have bought the book because they’ve messaged me about it. They’ve left a review for it. They’ve asked me when book two is coming out. They actually care. So, thank you, to all of you who are loyal readers, who love the written word enough to spend your hard earned money on the things you love instead of being a cheap-ass jellyfish!

Since publishing Wanted By You last week, things have been a little crazy but incredibly fun! I’ve loved getting to meet people from all over the world, from here in the US to the UK and Australia; it’s been mind-blowingly awesome and I can’t wait to meet more of you!

Another thing: fangirling. I’m so used to being a fangirl myself, I can’t even wrap my head around having others fangirling over me and my book. I will never get used to that. I love reading and writing so much that I could talk about books all day. So, whether I’m reading a message from someone saying they loved the book or I’m reading a review, I’m right there with them fangirling over every little thing because I’m just as excited as they are about the book and for me to finish writing book two! So, if you want to talk about my book or the Love in the City series with me, shoot me a message or comment here on my website. I love talking about books!

I’ve also loved reading honest feedback from you, the readers, because it’s helping me better myself as a writer. Right now as I read through reviews, I’m figuring out what readers love about my writing and what I need to work on. So please, keep the reviews coming! I also have some treats to share with all of you once I get more reviews:

  • When I get 50 reviews, I’ll post the Wanted By You soundtrack (37 songs)!
  • When I get 100 reviews, I’ll post the Polyvore boards (aka the clothes) from Wanted By You!
  • When I get 125 reviews, I’ll post some extras from Wanted By You, e.g., all 28 items from the Bucket List Countdown and other goodies!

So, if you haven’t left a review for Wanted By You yet, please consider doing so! I’d love you for it! Plus, I know you secretly want these extras as much as I’m dying to share them with you!

Again, thank you to everyone who hasn’t been a jellyfish, who’s bought a copy of my book and supported me from the very beginning. Becoming a published writer has been a dream come true for me, and I’m incredibly honored that so many of you are ready for more from me.

Carter was captivated by Ellyson Evans the moment he laid eyes on her,
but she was the one girl who didn’t beg for his attention.
He wanted her.
Ellyson vowed to never fall in love, because love can destroy you,
but then she met Carter Jennings.
She wanted him.
Unwilling to risk their comfortable friendship, neither confessed their desires.
Losing touch after college, a chance meeting reconnects them.
They want each other.
But love in the city is never quite that easy.

Love Machine

It’s true. I’m just a love machine and I won’t work for nobody but you.

I loved writing every bit of Wanted By You. Like want-to-make-a-career-out-of-writing loved it. And the messages I’ve already received from a few readers wanting more from me makes me incredibly happy because I love, love, love writing! So, I’m more than ready to keep on keepin’ on for you guys!

A few days ago, I got to see a paperback version of my book! I cannot explain the awesomeness that went into holding it for the first time. It was amazing and surreal and exciting all at the same time. It’s so beautiful! I can’t wait to see other people holding it and reading it!

I also have bookmarks, postcards and pens as well as some cute necklaces from Etsy that go along with the book! So, be sure to join my release day event on Facebook to enter to win some pretty book swag and other prizes on release day and throughout the blog tour!

Since I love you all and there’s only *THREE MORE DAYS* until release day, I’ve decided to share another song off Wanted By You‘s playlist. If this doesn’t make your Monday 100X better, I don’t know what will.
