Upcoming releases – Werewolves and Billionaires

mating the beast -- blogsSo this is happening very soon, as in the next couple of days, and His Obsession I’m hoping will be live on most sites by the 4th of February. Then His Masterpiece should be out the following week. Thanks for all your support! Time for me to get to work–I have a few uninterrupted hours for a change. Maybe I’ll actually get something done!

What’s coming up from Ava Lore?

A lot of nothing for the next few days. I’ve been beat to hell wringing all these words out of my thinkmeats. I realized I was probably in danger of burning out when I lay down on the living room floor to play with my kid on Saturday and accidentally fell asleep. For an hour. On the floor. Luckily my husband was there to pick up my slack, but wow.

So. Werewolf story is sort of stalled, but I plan to brute force 3k words tonight, then once that’s published I’ll be churning out the rest of The Billionaire’s Muse and then I will be moving on from billionaires to rock stars/assorted music industry personnel with two contemp eroms that, frankly, I’m totally in love with. Then another contemp erom. With werewolves and maybe some vampires in there? WHO KNOWS. Alls I know is that there are just not enough hours in the day, and not enough life force in my brain to write all the great stories lurking around inside my skull. Alas.

To recap:

  1. Mating the Beast (tentative title) 
  2. His Obsession
  3. His Masterpiece
  4. Project Loup Garou #3
  5. Rock Star #1 (tentatively titled Backstage Passes)
  6. Rock Star #2
  7. Project Loup Garou #4
  8. Rock Star #3
  9. idk something with vampires?? or menage? menage vampires?
  10. Rock Star #4
  11. Rock Star #5
  12. Midsummer Mate (the counterweight to Solstice Sacrifice, with dragons!)

And that’s my plan. I think. If I don’t keel over first! But my birthday is on Friday so I’m getting a massage. I’m sure that will cure me of all my ills. Thanks to everyone for all your support! I’ll keep writing, and I hope you enjoy reading!

New Werewolf story coming soon…

As soon as I get over this exhaustion. -_- Yes, it’s a sequel of sorts to Baiting the Beast even though it starts immediately after Four’s escape. But since people actually seemed to like Baiting the Beast it makes me very happy to be able to focus on the world and characters hinted at in that book. I enjoyed writing BtB, and I want to tell the stories of the other beasts in captivity. The next story is about Subject Number One and his mate, Dr. Michelle Dimaano, who just so happens to be one of his captors. I don’t know how long this one is going to be, but I’m about 10k words into it and while there has been some heavy groping through the bars of a cell, my heroine freaked out at the thought of being One’s mate. Unfortunately for her she’s probably not going to get much time to get used to the thought before it happens. Good thing Number One is totally devoted to her and Has A Plan… 🙂 I’ve named the series “Project Loup Garou” just to link them all together. They work as stand-alone novellas, though, so that makes me happy. Enjoy the teaser!

And besides, Michelle knew as well as anyone that touch was incredibly important for animals to thrive. It was basic biology. Perhaps Number One just needed a hug.

A sexy hug, the soft, dirty part of her mind whispered. Michelle shoved the thought away.

This is for science, she told herself. This is for the health and well-being of Subject Number One. She stepped forward and put her hands out.

Her fingertips grazed his fur, and a frisson of sweet sensation buzzed from the tips of her fingers straight down to the hot, crowded space between her legs, startling her. Michelle had never given that place much thought. She certainly had never touched it in the way she knew other women did. It just had no appeal to her.

Now, however, it began to heat up, and she swallowed, hard…

Smears of color covered my skin, making me look like I’d rolled in a Jackson Pollack painting. Malcolm sat in one of the leatherbound swiveling chairs, watching me. “You are startling,” he said when I finally stood before him, completely nude except for his own markings.
“Thank you,” I said. “Don’t speak.” Continue reading

His Canvas — Out Now!

02museAReSadie isn’t certain what to make of Malcolm Ward, but it seems no one is. Intrigued and intensely attracted, Sadie decides to spend more time with him to get to the bottom of things. But when he invites her again into his studio, this time using her very body as the medium with which to express himself, it’s Malcolm who starts to uncover parts of Sadie that she would rather leave buried… His Canvas is a 16,000 word novelette. Part two of five in The Billionaire’s Muse series. Only $2.99! Available at:
Amazon Barnes & Noble (coming soon!) Kobo Books
Smashwords EXCERPT: I let my gaze slide down so I could study him from the corner of my eye. He wasn’t wearing the same clothes I’d last seen him in; instead of pajamas he now wore a fine cashmere sweater and well-tailored slacks, though his feet were stockinged. A pair of fine shoes languished a few feet from the desk, as though he’d brought them over, meaning to put them on but had forgotten to do so. He’d also shaved, so that was good. It meant he’d probably taken a shower. He still seemed a bit off, though. He had a strange, hunted look on his face, as though he hadn’t slept, dogged by some unrelenting compulsion. Glancing back at the images on the screen and his riveted attention to them, I could believe it.  Continue reading

PSA: The Billionaire’s Muse #2 is coming soon…

…and I’m really happy with it. Lots of sex. And some of that stuff we like to call character exploration and plot and shit, but who cares, I love the sex in this one. It’s been uploaded to various storefronts and should be live most places by tomorrow. And now I’m going to bed. I went to a holiday party for my husband’s company and yelled at a lot of people over the noise, then I came home and took some Nyquil, which tasted awful, and apparently I’m going bra shopping tomorrow with some girlfriends, which I’ve never done before, but promises to be diverting. I’ve been wearing the same nursing bras for two years. My kid doesn’t even nurse any more. Imma look pretty, motherfuckers.
