Hitting the Top 20 and Top 100 with THREE Books Today!

I released my first nonfiction book in awhile, Passive Income for Creative Minds, this week, and it must have goosed sales for all my books or something, because this morning I had not one but THREE of my books in the Top 100 on Amazon! WITHOUT any advertising whatsoever!

Passive Income hit #65 in Amazon's Crafts, Hobbies & Home category (you can click on each screenshot to see a much larger and readable version)...

Covet hit #57 in Amazon's Dance category...

And Dance with Darkness hit #20 in Amazon's Dance category!

Thank you to all the readers who bought copies of these books and pushed them up those sales rankings in order to hit so high on the lists! I feel like that cute nerdy guy on the recent commercials when he says "my selfie just got a hundred likes on Facebook! A HUNDRED!" lol

The Clann Series #2: COVET is Now Available in the U.S.

Dangerous to be together. Painful to be apart.

Savannah Colbert knows she broke up with Tristan Coleman for the right reasons. Most of all, to keep from killing him with her new vampire abilities. But try telling her heart. Now, lost in a sea of hostile Clann faces, Sav tries to come to terms with what she's becoming and what that means for her future. And that someone is doing their best to bully her into making a terrible mistake.

Tristan can't believe Sav won't even talk to him. If being apart is her decision, fine. Just don't expect him to honor it. But even as he prepares to fight for the girl he loves, forces beyond their control take them both in directions neither could have foreseen or prepared for. A reckoning is coming…and not everyone will survive.

Clann Series Book #2: Covet is DONE!

I finally finished writing the rough draft for Covet, book #2 in the Clann Series, last night! It was weird...I finished writing the final words, looked at my watch and it was exactly midnight, then I realized the song playing on my iPod was perfect for the last scene (Coldplay's Til Kingdom Come)!

Now to type it all up! lol
