Cover Art for FIRE!

Now that the day is at an end, and I have revealed the cover art for FIRE at today's very cool book signing and presentation of "Love Between the Covers" (and you should totally watch that if you love reading and writing romance, by the way), I can officially post the cover art here on my blog! Without further ado, I present to you the cover of the fourth and final book in The Elemental Series, FIRE!

Isn't he delicious? Ethan is the "bad boy" of the Elementals, the one many of my readers have been waiting for, and I love how he turned out. I'm thoroughly excited with this cover, and I can't wait for you to meet Ethan and his love interest, Gypsy, in FIRE. The book is expected to be out later this year. More on that as details become available.

There's something a little bittersweet about finishing the last of the Elementals' books. The four are together at last - or they will be! I feel a little like a mom and the reunion of her kids. *grin*

Keep an eye on my blog for further news! Until then, happy reading!

Edits, Edits, Edits (and Cover Art)

Just sent off Round One of my edits for FIRE to my editor. I'm pretty pleased with how The Elemental Series has wrapped up, and eager to focus all my attention on the next book, my New Adult novel. I think you'll enjoy Ethan and Gypsy's story!

I did receive preliminary cover art for the book, but I'm not going to share it with you until it's official! Keep checking back here for news on that.

Until next time, Happy Reading!

Contract Received for FIRE!

I was very excited to come home tonight to the contract for FIRE in my inbox.  It's been a long road for The Elemental Series, and a very fulfilling one.  I remember pitching the idea for the series at a conference, oh, so long ago.  Now, I'm thrilled to present to you the last of my Elementals, Ethan Sutter, a fire Elemental who's always felt out of step with his siblings and his world.

Look for more about Ethan and his adventures this year (tentatively in the fall)!  Until then, I will be working on my next novels and preparing that spot on my bookshelf where the last Elemental will take his place.  Cheers!
