Marisa's Ramblings

The fourth and final book in my Goddess Revealed series, His Sea Goddess, was released today at Ellora’s Cave. This one is a little bit different from the other three books. Instead of being able to shape-shift into a cat, this Egyptian goddess can shape-shift into a dolphin. You can find it on EC’s website HERE.

Blurb:

After a near miss with a shark while diving in the Red Sea in Egypt, Jarrett is rescued by a dolphin and unwillingly dragged to an underwater chamber. But it isn’t just any dolphin. Wounded and unsure of his surroundings, Jarrett watches in awe as the dolphin shifts into a beautiful woman he is unable to resist.

Hatmehyt, an Egyptian goddess, was drawn to the man swimming near the reef while in her dolphin form, but soon realizes Jarrett is her mate. Unable to thrive on land, she has to make the painful choice to either keep him with her or let him go to the surface when the shark bite he received threatens his life.

My second Strange Hollow book, Love’s Nest, was released today at Liquid Silver Books. This is my last contribution to their Strange Hollow series. I had fun with this one, and the first one. Love’s Nest is a werewolf romance as well. You can find it on LSB’s website HERE.

Blurb:

Lilin, the owner of Love’s Nest a B & B in Strange Hollow, always knew her mate would be a werewolf. As a succubus who had been born beautiful instead of ugly, and her refusing to seduce men to steal their energy, she was disowned by her family. When a new werewolf comes to town, she knows he is the one for her. Even though he displays all the signs of his mating urge kicking in when around her, he refuses to claim her as his. Not willing to let him get away, Lilin has a few tricks up her sleeve to get him to change his mind.

Galen had come to Strange Hollow to start out fresh. His nose has been the bane of his existence. Whenever he meets a woman he is attracted to, his nose tells him she is the one meant for him. Only after he has slept with her does he find out she isn’t. Not wanting to take a chance that she isn’t his mate, Galen had made it a practice to seduce every woman that set off his mating urge. Of course, it caused more problems than not with the rest of the male werewolves in his pack. Deciding to go lone wolf to get away from his problems, Galen tries to fight his mating urge when he meets Lilin. Knowing she isn’t really his mate, he tries to resist her. But the question is, how long can he stay strong when the woman he wishes was his does everything she can to get him into bed?

This is the second cover I received from Liquid Silver Books this week. April Martinez, the art director, is on a roll. This is for the second book in my Roxie’s Protectors werewolf series called Jager’s Mate. This book should be out in June sometime. I’ll post the blurb below.

Blurb:

Daylen is a cop, and a good one. When she discovers two men sword fighting in an alley during one of her nightly patrols, she confronts them, ordering them to put down their weapons. One of the men takes off running, surprising her with his speed. With one man left, she knows she’ll have to take him down when he ignores her demands. With her suspect in her grasp, her world turns upside down when he pins her to the ground and kisses her senseless.

Jager knows no wilting flower, werewolf or mortal, would ever survive as his mate, but this cop has all the right moves. Her scent leaves no doubt this mortal woman is his, and after tasting her lips, he knows claiming her will be a challenge. The bigger problem, however, might be her obsession to arrest him whenever they meet. As their passion flares, he’ll do anything it takes to make her his mate.

My very first Young Adult paranormal book has been released today at Whiskey Creek Press. Right now, it’s only out in ebook format, but I’m hoping at sometime it’ll be released in trade paperback. You can find it on Whiskey Creek’s website HERE.

Blurb:

Mika Taylor has always had it bad for Trent Hunter, but she never had the guts to talk to him. Now that her best friend’s moved away, Mika dreads having to face a school year at Vernon Secondary alone. And being classed as the school freak doesn’t help matters. When Trent finally looks at her and not through her, Mika starts to think grade eleven won’t be so bad after all. Getting to know him better, she can’t shake the feeling there’s something he isn’t telling her. A chance encounter with the fabled Okanagan black cougar has her putting two and two together. When Mika sees not only the black cougar along with another cougar lurking in her backyard, she has to wonder if things can get any stranger than they already are.

Another new cover for one of my books coming out at Liquid Silver Books. This one is for the one I wrote for their Holiday 2010 series for Canada Day. Since Canada is July 1st, I figure this one will be released sometime in June. I’ve already finished the edits on it. Blurb is below. You can read the excerpt for The Wolf in the Woods HERE.

Blurb:

Lost in the woods when on a Canada Day camping trip with her grandmother at Algonquin Park, Red finds herself chased by a large male wolf. Shocked when the wolf shape-shifts into a gorgeous man, she is unable to tell him no when he takes her into his arms and kisses her senseless.

Rutgar knew Red was his mate from the first whiff of her scent. Out on his daily evening run through the woods in his wolf form, he can’t resist the pull she has over him. The mating urge rides him to claim her as his mate.

Not pleased to find herself bound to Rutgar without her consent, Red soon learns another werewolf forms a greater danger than an unexpected mating ever could.

I now have a release date for my second Strange Hollow book called Love’s Nest. It’s going to be released at Liquid Silver Books on April 26th. So a little less than two weeks. This one will be the third book I’ll have released this month. Tomorrow my first Young Adult book, The Black Cougar of Vernon Secondary, is going to be out at Whiskey Creek Press. Then on April 30th, the fourth and final short in my Goddess Revealed series, His Sea Goddess, will be released at Ellora’s Cave. April has been a busy month for me.

I now have the release date for my first paranormal/cat shifter Young Adult book, The Black Cougar of Vernon Secondary. It’s going to be released at Whiskey Creek Press on April 15th. So one week from today. The blurb is below.

Today was a good day for me. Besides having a book released, I received a new cover and a contract offer.

Lexi Weller’s vacation in England doesn’t exactly start off all that great when she almost ends up getting into a car accident. But when the driver of the car she almost hits steps out to speak with her, she finds herself practically drooling over him. And before it’s all over, Mr. Tall, Muscular and Good-looking asks Lexi out on a date.

Charged by the Anglo-Saxon god, Tiw, to protect mortals from the werewolves sired by Fenris the wolf, Raed knows he can’t put Lexi before his duty.

I received the final cover for Book One in my Wolves of East Anglia series called Mated for a King. It will also be coming out at Noble Romance Publishing on April 5th. Only two more days to wait.
