The HUGE news I’ve been dying to share!!

I’ve sold both The Willow and The Wicked from The Magical Sword Series to Entangled Publishing.

What does this mean?

Here’s the exciting part—I’ll be working with editor, Josh Vogt and together, we’re going to extend these stories to be full-length novels.  Oh yes, that means lots more of Nexi and Kyden! But it gets even better! The books will also come out in print. You know what that means, don’t you?! I’ll have print copies to giveaway. WOO HOO!

Josh and I have also decided on a new name for The Willow.  Werewolves Be Damned ~ Magic & Mayhem Book One.

SQUEE! I love it!!

The rest of the books in the series have received new titles too, but I can’t spill all the secrets now, can I? Let me say, though, I’m in love with each and every one of them, and can’t wait to share it with you!

I’ve been chatting on Facebook and Twitter about this “secret project” and have spent a few weeks re-writing the story. Besides the change in the title, the content of the story has been reworked and more chapters have been added. You’ll still find some of the same guts that you’ve all known and loved. But I can tell you that the story is looking quite different. In fact, I don’t even recognize it anymore, but the changes are all fabulous!

As some of you have noticed The Willow and The Wicked have not been available for sale, nor has A Warrior’s Witch and Tainted Blood. Soon, you’ll start to see all the Otherworld ebooks, including The Blue Bloods begin to vanish. Don’t worry, though, my plan is to follow the same path of Nexi’s books and re-release them as full-length novels.

I’d like to send a huge hug out to Liquid Silver Books—plus my friend and editor, Tracey West—who originally published The Magical Sword series and taught me so much in such a short time.  I wouldn’t be where I am today without Tracey’s support and encouragement, and her input on the books made them what they are.

Of course, lots of love for my agent, Lauren Ruth. She rocks!!

Lastly, I’m thrilled to join the Entangled family and to have the opportunity to work on these books again. Nexi –plus all the Otherworld characters—hold a very special place in my heart, so I can’t even put into words how excited I am for this opportunity!

If you loved Nexi and Kyden before, wait ‘til you see them now in Werewolves Be Damned!

Hugs & Kisses!
