Another month gone. I'm already thinking about this year's 12 DAYS OF CHRISTMAS! (and it's gonna be fucking amazing!) But it's such a trip that time is flying the way it is. I'm glad, though. I want things to keep moving forward and getting better.

The weather here on the Palmer Divide is changing. The overnight lows are already dipping into the 40's so I know that fall is coming up fast but I've been busy organizing like it's spring. I have candle-making supplies everywhere because I have the signed book order form up again. But there's an upside - all these boxes, and jars, and wax, and labels gave me a great excuse to buy more bookshelves!  I've also been finishing up the Gorgeous Misery book (Creeping Beautiful #3) and thank you so much to all you patient readers. I know you've been waiting a LONG time for this series to wrap up and I appreciate that more than you know.

By the way - I know I showed the FB fan group the cover for Gorgeous Misery months and months ago BUT I made a new one. Wander put up a beautiful photo of my favorite cover model a few weeks back and I snatched it up. He is the perfect guy to be my "NICK". So there will be a cover reveal and a pre-order for Gorgeous Misery coming up in a few weeks! If you're a bookstagrammer or book blogger or just a fan who likes to share things like cover reveals, that will happen at Xpresso Tours. It's not up yet though, I'll post a link on FB, IG, and Shrike Bikes when it is.

ALSO - I uploaded the AUDIOBOOK FILES FOR SICK HEART yesterday. And if everything goes smoothly, it will be up for pre-order on September 17 and releasing October 5! All the info about that audiobook will be in the mid-month newsletter and I'll have some teaser samples for you too.
 

 

Vic Vaughn is misunderstood. Yep, he’s a biker. And a tattoo artist. And yes, he comes from the most hated family in Fort Collins—but that’s just Vic on the outside. He’s gooey and soft on the inside. Protective, loving, generous. And he’s pretty sure he can convince Daisy to date him again if she would just not press charges.
 

My name is Vicious. God-given name, I cross my heart.
And it fits.
I’m a hot-as-f, inked-up tattoo artist at the trendiest shop in the Rocky Mountains.
I have the looks, I have the bike, I have the reputation.
That means I get the ladies.
Sure. There are lots of women out there who hate tattoos. Wouldn’t be caught dead with guys like me. And that’s fine. I’m not looking for girls like that.
I’m looking for that other kind of girl.
The wild one, the bad one, the crazy one.
Funny thing is… the one I fell for isn’t that girl.
She’s the Good Girl.
And maybe back when she was nineteen I came off as a ‘maybe’, but after seven years of distance I am now the definition of ‘not a keeper’.
But I can be a keeper.
I can make the good girl swoon.
I can be the dream guy she never saw coming.
If she would just… not press charges… I’m pretty sure I can turn this whole relationship around.
 
Vic Vaughn is Vicious is a bad-boy-trying-his best-to-win-her-back romantic comedy about a misunderstood tattoo-artist-biker called Vicious and a good girl named Daisy who ghosted him seven years ago after she came to her senses. It’s filled with funny twists, dreams of grandeur, and all seven members of the most inappropriate family in all of Colorado.

The SPENCER Book is being re-recorded by Jacob Morgan and Ava Erickson

AND

The long-awaited HAPPILY EVER AFTER book from the Rook & Ronin Series will FINALLY be available on audio.

This is why I needed a new Spencer book. Troy Duran was the original voice for Ronin, Ford, Spencer, and Merc. And the HEA book has POV chapters for Ronin, Ford, and Spencer. And even though I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE me some Troy Duran (and you're going to be hearing from him very soon in ANOTHER BOOK!) I couldn't have Troy do ALL the voices! That's why I've been remaking some of my older titles.

So the narrators for the HEA book will be:
 

Teddy Hamilton as FIVE.
Troy Duran as FORD.
Jacob Morgan as SPENCER
Jason Clarke as RONIN.

I ask ya... does audiobook narration get any better that this?

So enjoy your LABOR DAY WEEKEND (if you're in the US) and I'll see you in a couple weeks for more FREE BOOKS and THE COVER REVEAL FOR GORGEOUS MISERY!
