I know you all want to know more about me so...

...just for you I did an interview with The Reading Cafe.  Okay, maybe not just for you guys but I did one nonetheless.  But wait, there's more!  Along with the interview, there's also a giveaway.  I will be giving away signed paperback copies of books 1-4 in the Lone March series to one lucky person!  Who wouldn't want to win such a prize??!  *Ahem*  Excuse me.  The use of the words "lucky" and "prize" are, of course, subjective...

Anyway, if you would like to have the first half of the Lone March story collected in signed paperbacks, you can enter the contest through their website.  You have to be a registered member of The Reading Cafe to enter but they have several ways of doing that, including Twitter and Google.  So the giveaway just started today but it's only running through Saturday, December 1st--as in just a few days from now--so act fast if you want to get in on this action.

Here's a link to the interview:

Information about the giveaway is listed at the bottom of the page, after the interview.

Okay, sorry to be all business today but I gotta get back to work--Book Six is really cookin' over here!

PS. I almost forgot!  TRC also reviewed my series and even though you've all probably read the books, I wanted to link to the reviews as well.

LM Series Reviews

PPS. The reviewer had some issues with March's sexual awakening and how she handles her hormone issues.  They were interesting thoughts and honestly, I feel the same way.  I definitely set out to put March in some uncomfortable and inappropriate situations because she's the last female of her kind and also because being a were-wolf means rage and sexual aggression and pretty much all kinds of negative human emotions amped up to eleven.  So, if you guys read it, I'd like to know how you feel about these issues.  Drop a line below, if you are so inclined.

I am currently stuck at Frustration Station!

Grrrahhhggg! No, that's not a word, you're right. That's a combination growl and groan. My computer is still stuck at the computer hospital (going on a week now, which is just insanely insane for me). And so without Internet, I have had to resort to sneaking onto other people's computers when I have the chance--people I know and who have given me permission of course--and rushing to check my email really fast to answer important messages and otherwise pretty much just totally neglecting my usual online haunts. Right now I am using an iPad to write this post and let me tell you why it sucks: It won't cooperate! I tried to just update the Lone March Series tab so I wouldn't have to type out a whole big post for one tiny update but it wouldn't let me!! Instead of inferring my own interpretation of the needed onomonpia I will allow you to insert your own version. __________________!!!!!

Anyway, all this was just to tell you guys that I have approved the paperback proof of Moon-Swell. Here is where you can buy it for $8.99:

Createspace and Amazon

That is all for now. Fingers crossed I have my laptop back soon and can work and communicate like a normal person and not an Apple junkie, who tries to do complex or involved things on an impractical electronic device!

PS. I will update the Lone March page to consolidate all this information in one place as soon as I get my machine back. I think I already said that. Oh well...

PPS. Hope you guys are enjoying Moon-Swell! Oh who am I kidding? I mean I hope you guys DID enjoy Moon-Swell (because I'm willing to bet you all finished in like a day or something--which is fine; I'm just saying I'm willing to bet on it).

PPPS. Any ideas as to what's coming?

Moon-Swell is Here!

Hooray!  It's official: Moon-Swell is on sale!

I can't believe it!  So there are several options for buying the digital versions.  Simply click on the hyperlinked word below for the platform of your fancy.  It will be in print as well, but I'm still in the proofing stage, reviewing physical copies until I approve of the cover.  We're not quite there yet.  When it is available in print, I will update this post with the links.

This post might give you some clues as to what Moon-Swell is about.

Hello, friends!

I would like--why do I always feel the need to start these kinds of posts with some sort of declamatory introductory statement?  Why do I think I have to emcee myself?  This is dumb.  I'm not doing this.

So here's the synopsis of Book 4.  Hope you like!

I flew across the table with inhuman speed and wrapped my hands around his thick neck.  “I’m the last she-wolf on this planet.  If you’re going to see me as the great hope, then you better respect me!”

For March Howe, the only surviving she-wolf, getting kidnapped comes with the territory.  Like shifting in and out of her lupine form, she starts to take it in stride.  But there are still plenty of things she doesn’t expect: Greyson at Glenbrook High, the author of that anonymous note, and her unique path to were-spirituality.  And then of course, there are those feelings for Avery…

Nothing is like it should be—the frigids love her while her friends hate her and just when she’s getting to know Gaia, her rage is controlling her more than ever.  Meanwhile, Avery and the pack are starting to over-protect her to the point of suffocation.  But rebelling against them doesn’t make things easier.  In fact, it sparks a series of events that lead to shocking revelations and a turning point in her journey of self-discovery.  Why can’t she resist Jasper’s flirtations?  And what could Avery’s mysterious past possibly have to do with her own history?

In Book Four of the Lone March Series, March Howe has to figure out who she can trust, and who’s pretending.  In her evolving love triangle, she must decide who’s best for her.  And when strange things reveal themselves, it’s time for her to finally come to terms with the fact that she’s different.  Will these secrets earn her the trust and respect she deserves from her pack or will the last of the were-wolves go beyond protection…and lock her up once and for all?

 Welp.  There ya go.  See now here I am doing it again.  I don't have to close these posts with a formal statement either.

So The End.

PS. Gonna have to show you guys the cover soon because I can't keep it secret much longer!

Good News! Like, Way Good News!

I got to see the cover for Moon-Swell for the first time tonight!!  And it looks amazing and beautiful and magical and about a thousand other wonderful things.  Best cover yet, seriously.  Can't wait to show you guys!

Soon,

xxErin

Sneak-Peek Time!

Here's a little snippet from Moon-Swell.  Enjoy!
 

“Are you in some kinda trouble, Bruiser?”

I looked into his mesmerizing golden-mahogany eyes and wondered if I should say anything more but I didn’t want to get myself caught in a web of lies too big to handle.

“No,” I said.  “I just like the idea of you looking out for me.”

His wily grin spread slowly across his face and he took my hand again, pulling me into the alcove of the lecture room door and propping his free hand on the wall over my head.

Staring into his chest was too familiar a position for me, and I wanted to slip out of the Jasper-shaped enclosure, but the warmth I felt filling my own chest had me fixed in place.  I breathed in the deep, oaky smell of coffee that mixed unusually well with the sharp, citrusy cologne and found my eyes trailing up to his.  “Jasper,” I whispered slowly, forcing the statement out, “I need to go.”

Too quickly he unlaced his fingers from mine, dropping his hand to his side so I was now open to the hall, and free to slip away.  “Then go,” he said, like he was challenging me.

I shut my eyes and ran my fingers through my hair.  “This is crazy,” I said.  “I can’t get involved with you.”

He pushed himself off the wall and stood up tall in front of me.  “Then don’t.”  Again, he sounded like he was challenging me.

I simply said, “Okay,” but still, I was glued to my spot.

“You’re not moving,” he said.

When I didn’t respond to that, he lifted his right hand to brush his fingertips against my hip, sending a shiver all up and down my body as he did.  He pressed his thumb into my skin, then did the same with his fingers so that he was grasping my hip firmly in his hand.  My heartbeat sped up; my skin tingled.  I was definitely frozen in place now.

He leaned down to my ear and whispered, “If you don’t leave, I’m gonna take it as a sign that you don’t want to.”  He moved even closer so his lips touched my ear, and said, “And I can’t stand here much longer without kissing you.”  He moved his head back to look at me and said, “So, make your choice.”

I couldn’t unlock my eyes from his.  I couldn’t speak.  It was comical to think I even had a choice at this point.

He waited another moment, then went straight for my lips.

 


What do you think?  I hope you're thinking, "Wow--I really like that snippet and can't wait to read more when Moon-Swell comes out!"

But who knows what you're really thinking?

Only you do so tell me!
