Three's a Clan GIVEAWAY! [WINNER ANNOUNCED IN COMMENTS]

Hart Clan Hybrids #3

I can't believe it is already coming up on release day for Three's a Clan. The Hart Clan Hybrids series has truly taken me on a ride that I couldn't have ever imagined going on.

These books have also gone in a completely different direction than I ever planned. But when you give your creative muse over to strong female characters...well, let's just say I should have known better than to try and put them in their place.

When I was much more naive and thought I could get these characters to cooperate I wanted to write three 30k novellas that could be bundled together into one 90k book.

Hart Clan Hybrids #1

After A Love Worth Biting For was over 40k I should have known I was in trouble. And sure enough Shelly has grabbed herself two werewolves to tangle with and Three's a Clan tipped the scales at over 90,000 words.

Oops.

But the thing that really surprised me with these books is how the simple story I wanted to share -- how I felt when I knew I loved my husband for the first time -- morphed into a series about women taking charge of the lives they had no control over in the past.

Hart Clan Hybrids #2

I feel like Amber, Mary, and Shelly became so much more than even I expected them to become. Females in their supernatural sects weren't supposed to have this kind of power. But these women flipped the bird and took it anyway.

And that is what excited me most about these books. I feel like listening to girl power songs ever time I revisit their stories. Yes, they curse. Yes, they like sex. (Shelly and Amber especially.) But that isn't what their stories are at the core. At the end of the day, I wanted them to take charge of their lives. And they grabbed hold of my heart as they did so.

This series started as a trilogy, but thanks to some wonderful reader feedback, and the enthusiasm of my CP Angela, and Editor Holly, I don't know that I can set this world aside just yet.

To celebrate the release of ebook and print versions of Three's a Clan, I'm doing a GIVEAWAY!

Finding the Fun

I'm a procrastinator. I tend to put off tasks that I don't enjoy. And all it takes is one thing to throw my imaginary schedule off, and I call for a day do-over.

Because I really can't fold laundry in any other room of the house other than the bedroom where my husband is sleeping. And I always do laundry in the morning. So it's completely impossible for me to have clean clothes while he is on vacation this week.

Yes...I know I am full of shit on this, but my schedule is screwed up and it makes me grumpy.

I think every writer has their quirks that help them get through the parts of the process they'd rather avoid like the plague, and lets them get to the times they crave like a donuts after a juice cleanse.

For me...I like hearing my characters talk. When I'm writing a first draft and I get to hear their "voices" on the paper, it's a thrill. I think that's why I enjoy first person POV so much. I love having my characters tell me their story.

So when I have to do some of the other parts of the writing process, I tend to bring my characters with me.

I'm have a horrible time talking about myself, and usually blank when someone asks me a question. So I do what any writer would do, I try and dig myself out with a bit of creativity. I got to do an interview for All Romance Ebooks last week, and in chatting with Dawn (awesome promo goddess extraordinaire) about it, we both agreed I needed to bring something a bit more me to the table. And by me, I mean not me at all. So my characters jumped in. You can read the chaotic results HERE.

I had a blast doing it.

I'm working on edits, edits, and more edits at the moment. I'm not thrilled about it, but deadlines won't move because I'm moody, so I'm doing little things to bribe myself through the process. I've got my reward candy lined up for completing ten pages, I've got my favorite woodwick candle burning next to me, and I've got some "inspirational" pictures to keep me smiling.

My favorite inspirational pic is the cover for Three's a Clan, which will be set loose on the world September 8th!

What do you do to keep yourself motivated?

Three's a Clan

Sometimes the only way to hold on is to let it all go.

Hart Clan Hybrids, Book 3

Finding out she’s a byproduct of her maker’s plan for world domination is a letdown for Shelly Meyers. Now she must figure out where to pin her loyalties. Tradition tells her to follow her leader, but something tells her tradition is overrated. Is it her conscience? Nah. Not that. Not anymore.

Richard Paulson never planned on turning furry, yet here he is, an Alpha in charge of a pack. Even with Doc, his beta, at his back, he seems to keep winding up in another frying pan.

Long ago, Trevor “Doc” Paulson gave the woman he loved to someone who could give her the life she deserved. Now, as he and Richard fight to prevent history repeating, he’s struggling not to act on pure attraction—again. He knows he should be Rick’s voice of reason, but what happens when the three of them get close makes no sense at all.

Together they must decide to let go of the past to forge a new future—and fast. Before a power-hungry vampire takes it all away.

Product Warnings

This book contains a sexually volatile vampire who is about to grab the world and a couple of werewolves by the balls. Not for the faint of heart, or those who are opposed to sex, blood, bites, multiple partners and multiple orgasms.

Three's a Clan: Hart Clan Hybrids 3...COVER REVEAL!

I love all of the characters from my Hart Clan Hybrids series. Being the fact that they were my first characters ever published, they will always hold a special place in my heart.

One of them has been especially fun to write. Shelly Meyers of the Meyers vampire Family was always harsh, and always strong, and always just outside the main story line. I am so excited to finally let her talk and to have her be the one to wrap up the Hart Clan's story.

So without further ado...coming late 2015 from Samhain Publishing...meet Shelly Meyers and the cover of her MFM menage, Three's a Clan.

So what do you think? I am always in awe of what the fantastic Nathalie Gray does with the cover art. She is one of the reasons I am grateful to be with Samhain Publishing for this series.
