Kissed (Jacob and Beth's Rockstar Life #1)

Download from me | Eden Books | Amazon | Amazon UK | Apple | BarnesAndNoble | Kobo | Google Play | Smashwords | Scribd |

One kiss ignites chemistry and passion they can’t ignore, but is this only a summer fling?

Neighbors. Best friends. It was only a crush Beth harbored for Jacob until she was eighteen. Until London.

Neighbors. Best friends. That was all Jacob thought of her until London. Until she kissed him and stole his heart.

It's funny what Geometry class and a shared backyard wall can bring about. With a two-year age difference, Beth and Jacob were firmly in the Friend Zone during high school, but a pre-college trip to London will change their lives forever.

KISSED is the first of five books exploring Beth and Jacob’s relationship with all its joys, flaws, and heartache. 

Contemporary Romance saga. This story is intended for readers 18 and over due to adult language, sexual content, and adult situations.

#YOLOWithKOBO Event brings you over 400 romances today!

What is the YOLO With Kobo Promo? It is a concentrated effort from romance authors similar to Stuff Your E-Reader and Stuff Your Earbuds, but completely focused on Kobo Plus. This promo features both e-books & audiobooks in Kobo Plus.

What is Kobo? An app you can download you to your phone or tablet, like you’ve downloaded the Kindle App to your phone or tablet. They also have a branded e-reader like the Kindle. You must have the app or the e-reader to get your free month of Kobo Plus – and to continue with the program, if you so choose. 

How Much is Kobo Plus? Your first month is free if you’re a new member. 

Following that month, the prices are cheaper than Kindle Unlimited. 

Kobo Plus Reading – 7.99

Kobo Plus Listening – 7.99

Kobo Plus Listening & Reading – 9.99 (Best Deal)

Please note these prices are in USD, and be sure to check your country to verify for sure. 

As of September 19th, 2023 the prices are monthly.

Is Kobo Plus Truly Unlimited?– Kobo Plus is truly unlimited and allows readers to access as many titles as they’d like with no restrictions. The only way readers lose access to their Kobo Plus downloads is if they cancel their membership. Canceling one’s membership removes the books downloaded with Kobo Plus from the user’s device, but will leave the preview.

As I detailed here in the past, all my books are available in Kobo Plus!

The Pianist Plays It Slow is free for THREE DAYS ONLY! #StuffYourEreader #StuffYourKindle #contemporaryromance #rockstarromance #slowburnromance

The Pianist Plays It Slow - A Slow-Burn Summer Rockstar Romance (West Coast Soulmates #1)

When a beautiful woman mistakes me for my n’er-do-well identical twin brother, the awkward encounter—a slap to the face—gradually turns into a possibility for something real.

Something lasting.

Something like love, and it scares the hell out of me.

Being the guy that falls too easily has burned me in the past, so with Hannah I’m determined to take things slow and not screw it up.

If only my twin wasn’t hell-bent on tearing down everything I try to build.

Previously titled The Pianist.

This story is intended for readers 18 and over due to adult language, sexual content, and adult situations.

Eden Books | Apple | Barnes and Noble | Amazon | Smashwords | Kobo | Google Play |

9/11 - 22 years later, we must Never Forget

A year ago, on 9/11, I wrote this for the back of The Drummer:

It’s September 11, 2022 as I started this. I could’ve waited until all work on The Drummer was complete, but I think today is really appropriate for Michaela’s story of grief and healing. 

I didn’t lose anyone close to me in war, but I am the daughter and niece and cousin and descendant of veterans going back to the American Revolution, so our military and their families mean something. 

Tech Guy and I still have a friend serving in the US Army now.

Gold Star Families have made the ultimate sacrifice—their beloved serviceman or woman didn’t come home alive, with 4418 US military casualties in Afghanistan and 7000 service members lost in combat in the War on Terror.

Four times that many veterans have committed suicide.

In fact, a recent study by America's Warrior Partnership found the rate may be 44 veteran suicides per day. If you’re suffering, please reach out!

9/11 is a day a lot of Americans have all but forgotten twenty-one years after those horrific attacks. I’m sure I wasn’t alone in seeing less postings of commemoration this year than in years past. We say “never forget” on 9/11, but we also used to say “never again”. 2,977 lives were lost on 9/11, leaving nearly 3000 children with permanently-absent parents.

The victims’ remains are still being identified twenty-one years later.

9/11 first responders face increased risk of cancer after being exposed to toxins at Ground Zero. Over 2000 deaths are linked to 9/11-related illnesses and over 3400 people enrolled in the World Trade Center Health Care Program have died.

Did you know only fourteen states mandate 9/11 teachings in their curriculum?

We can’t ensure future generations remain vigilant against terrorism if we don’t teach them what can happen and why and who made the ultimate sacrifice. Author Jim Serger put together a coffee table book titled 9:11 A Time to Always Remember filled with stories of Americans from all over the country sharing what happened to them that day and the T2T 9/11 Institute has educational resources about 9/11 for children.

There are many stories of bravery from that day, and since, large and small. Please share them with your children so the memories of their heroism and sacrifices will live on.

If you read these books, please consider leaving a review.

The past week kicked my butt! Hope yours was better...

The cats had a medical issue

Well, over $1800 later, they're on the mend - though just as the younger ones were recovering, Mama got sick and needed the meds, too. The only thing all 5 of them had in common Friday to Friday was the crunchie treats, so that jar is toast.

Worst part, though? The vet lied to us about Milo and Lowen having fleas just to upsell us on a $63.99 flea med!

So we're still looking for an honest, affordable veterinarian in Orange County, CA. If you have a rec, please pass it on.

And Wednesday, my computer died - AGAIN!

Windows 10 didn't last 3 months and I do none of the sketchy things that break shit. I only got this thing May 17th.

Five days down this time.

Tech Guy didn't get me back online until Sunday afternoon!

For those counting, it was 11 days with no computer in November, 3 days in May, and now 5. Wanna place a bet on how long this one lasts? I'm SO behind on plans this year it's not funny.

Other news this month:

If you haven't popped in recently, here's a reminder to check out Vi Keeland's newest release, and these upcoming dates for Penelope Ward:

May 13th was always a special day in my life.

My grandfather was born 5/13/1913.

Beth and Jacob were born on May 13th, 2007, the day I wrote the first scene ever. Since I became published in 2011, May 13th has been a day to offer perks and BTS details to faithful readers of this love story.

Some of you have been here since the very beginning.

Thank you!

This month also marks the official public opening of Ream! Signing up for Ream is free!

My stories Kissed and The Bassist are free reads for members.

We're social creatures, meant to collaborate, so if you want to be part of future storytelling, become a subscriber for $3/month. Exclusives for subscribers include perks like behind-the-scenes content, bonus scenes, deleted scenes, WIP updates, and chapters of new stories before the books go public.

Possible bonus scenes could include weddings, new babies, new houses....let me know who you'd like to check in with again and let's build this community around stories together.

You are invited! SUBSCRIPTION LAUNCH DAY! #contemporaryromance #reamstoriesauthor #romancereaders #romancesubscription

Will you join me for exclusives?

I now have a subscription site that I love! I'm still using BMAC for my store, but not for posting story pages.

Why Ream?

Because Patreon and Buy Me A Coffee limit the kind of content creators can post - and Ream does not. Emilia Rose lost her Patreon because they deemed her too NSFW for them, and so the idea for Ream was born.

Have you tried to read stories on Patreon and been frustrated by the format?

None of that here!

We want you to be able to read books like you want to read books. You can even comment on chapters as you browse them, because this is really about community.

Unlike other subscription platforms, this site is built for authors and readers by authors.

The second reason? None of the issues of social media!

I want a lively community outside the control of mysterious algorithms, and I can't be the only person frustrated by not seeing what I want to see (looking at you, Facebook). Ream will never hide stuff from you, so you can see all the Community area posts available to subscribers like you.

So - want to try things out?

My stories Kissed and The Bassist are free reads right now today!

Signing up for Ream is free! <-Click here to go to my page

If you like the experience and want more, become a subscriber:
 

• For $3/month, you will get access to reading The Roommate as well as private updates I want to make to fans before they go public. Exclusives for subscribers include perks like behind-the-scenes content, bonus scenes, deleted scenes, WIP updates, and chapters of new stories before the books go to stores.
• 
  
• For $5/month, you'll get the the above plus Jacob and Beth's Rockstar Life series! Betrayed, Forgiven, Loved, and Completed will be yours to read immediately.
