New Book Coming and Free Short Story!

A lot has been happening this month already!

First, I got to see the cover for my next New Jersey Ice Cats’ book, A Perfect Strategy, which is out Feb 2017. [Although it is up for pre-order at all good online retailers, in case you want to be sure to get your copy as soon as it it released :)]

I wrote a little bit about the title, blurb and my new cover, including which actors I think best suit the look of both Scotty and Sapphie on this month’s post at the Harlequin SuperRomance Authors blog. To give you a hint, think of the TV show Motive.

You’ll notice there is something different about this cover, in that doesn’t show hockey or skating. That’s because Scotty has retired, so much of this book is set behind-the-scenes at New Jersey Ice Cats’ headquarters. The idea was to give readers a chance to see what goes on in the Ice Cats’ organisation beyond games and practices. I hope you will enjoy this different kind of hockey romance, and the story of how Scotty and Sapphie survive working together!

For an excerpt and buy links, check out the Books section and click on the cover for A Perfect Strategy. Or you can click on the cover on this post.

Also, after the popularity of my free NJ Ice Cats’ short stories last winter, I have decided to give away some more free reads, starting this month. For a limited time only, I will put up a seasonal Ice Cats’ short story for free.

To celebrate Halloween, I have written A Perfect Plan – the story of Ice Cats’ forward, Drake Spencer, and his lovely neighbour, Gertie.

Who says zombies aren’t romantic?

Ice Cats’ forward, Drake Spencer, hopes his plan to take his nephew trick-or-treating will finally break the ice with his lovely neighbor. Unfortunately, Gertie Noakes is having a bad Halloween; she burned the cookies she promised to bake for her daughter’s class. The last person she needs to find on her doorstep is the sexy hockey player she’s been trying to steer clear of. Can a quick change of plan help Drake win Gertie over?

To download your free copy, simply go to the For Readers section and click on the cover for A Perfect Plan.

Stay tuned for another New Jersey Ice Cats’ short story, coming for Thanksgiving!

Until then, Happy Reading!

Welcome to Autumn!

Hello everyone! Apologies that it’s been so long since I last updated the news here, but it’s been a very busy time since we last spoke.

I’ve done a fair bit of travelling with Doc Cambridge, starting with a trip to Canada, in June, which included a visit to my fabulous publisher’s offices in Toronto. As well as catching up with my editor, I got a chance to meet all the hard-working people who toil away behind the scenes to bring my books to the shelf (both real and digital). You can read all about that visit and see more great pics in my post on the Super Authors blog . We also had a lovely time in Ottawa and Kelowna on that trip.

August saw a fabulous birthday surprise from Doc Cambridge – a trip to the Writers’ Police Academy, which was held at the International Public Safety Training Academy, at Northeast Wisconsin Technical College in Green Bay. A fabulous, but hectic few days with fellow writers learning all sorts of useful information for future books. You can see what I got up to and some fab pics in another post on the Super Authors blog.

Oh, and yes – we did manage to find time to head to Lambeau Field to see the famous home of the Green Bay Packers. Although I’m a die-hard Redskins fan, I have definitely got a soft spot now for The Pack!

We also managed to find time for a short holiday, on Lake Como in Italy. So pretty! If only this could be my office every day!

In amongst all of that, I did manage to write about more Ice Cats. Stay tuned for more information on a Free Ice Cats’ Halloween Read and about my next Ice Cats’ book – A Perfect Strategy – out in Feb 2017.

Until then, enjoy the start of hockey season and happy reading!
