Last Day For .99 His Own and What is Arvel Working On?

Just wanted to send a reminder that today is the last day His Own will be .99. It'll be going to the regular price of 2.99 on Sept. 1.  So if you were planning to buy it and haven't, today is the day.




His Own - It's Kit's nineteenth birthday and he has plans to seduce his sexy, older boss, Leon, but his plans fall apart when he discovers strange wing tattoos on his back. Suddenly, Kit is dodging demons and trying to figure out what happened to his normal life. Lost and scared, he runs to Leon for help, but Leon has his own secrets and has every intention of making Kit his.

Short Story Length: approx. 8,600 words.

Warnings: Hot erotic gay sex, spanking, and a 19-year-old with no idea what he's got himself into.



Besides that, here is a bit of info about what I'll be releasing for September. 

September I'll be releasing the second short in the Consent world and PCU: Touch #3. There are a few other stories that may be released as well, but those you'll have to wait and see. 

I also did some switching around of some of the planned releases. I decided, due to Crossroads Beat being so similar to PCU (paranormal crimes), I'm going to release Crossroads next year. Instead, I'll be releasing the shapeshifter series, Outsiders, in its place. So look forward to that!

Searching for answers to keep Allison out of trouble and having to deal with working with a cop who hates psychics, the risks grow even higher when Henri discovers he's on the trail of a psychic fire starter.

Short Excerpt from Burning Touch (PCU: The Touch #2)

So it's been a little while since I posted so I decided to give a little excerpt from Burning Touch. It's very short, but the good news is that the book will be coming out very, very soon.
----


Micah stepped out. He looked between us.

"I'm interrupting."

Allison laughed and shook her head. "Nope. He's all yours."

She ran past and into the shop before I could ask her what she was going to say, and then I was looking up at Micah. I swallowed. I hadn't called like I had promised. I could explain that I had been busy, but even I knew that was a horrible excuse, especially after our last conversation. We look at each other in an awkward silence. Micah spoke first.

"Should I go?"

I shook my head. "No, I'm glad you're here."

He smiled. "Are you sure?"

I nodded. I was. That had always been part of the problem - my reaction to him. As soon as I saw him, everything else just became background noise. That wasn't normal. At least I didn't think it was.

He took a step forward and then he was kissing me. The kiss burned through me and I pressed against him, my hand roughly burying into the hair at the back of his nape. His tongue slid into my mouth, rubbing against mine. His taste was addictive, and there was no way it was normal to feel so intensely for another person.

He rubbed against me and I moaned. He finally released my mouth and when he looked at me his hazel eyes were hot with need and I knew my own gaze was the same.

"When does this end?" he asked, referring to the book signing.

"A few more hours," I said.

He nodded and reluctantly pulled away. "You better get inside."

I found myself reluctant. "We have a few minutes."

"We'll need longer than a few minutes if you stay out here."

Sorry for the shortness, but I didn't want to spoil anything for those who haven't read book one. Anyway, keep an eye out. It's on its way

New Release - Unseen Touch (Paranormal Crime Unit: The Touch #1)

My newest release is out! Unseen Touch is the first book in the new series Paranormal Crime Unit: The Touch.The second book is already scheduled to come out by the end of the August/beginning of September.




For psychic, Henri Abbey, trouble is never far away. It has been nearly two years since Henri resigned from Orlando's Paranormal Crime Unit, but he can't manage to leave his detective days behind. When a witch comes into his shop asking for help finding her missing assistant, Henri is suddenly thrown into a case where the victims are found dead inside a locked room. The cause of death? Internal bleeding.

Things just get worse when Henri finds himself drawn to the main crime suspect, Micah James. Micah is the only person Henri has been able to touch in the last two years without being swamped with memories. When Micah shows that he wants Henri just as much as Henri want him, Henri has to figure out how to deal with his intense attraction. But that soon becomes only one of his worries when he discovers he's the next target on the murderer's list.

Novella Length: Approx. 19,600 words

What is Arvel Working On? 08/07/12

I wonder if I should put up a schedule so everyone can see what is coming out next. I'm a bit hesitant, since I tend to reschedule books depending on which one holds my attention at the moment. Let me know in the comments if you would like me to post one.

Right now, the Crossroads Beat book I've been working on has been usurp by Paranormal Crime Unit (PCU), which means both might be coming out pretty close to each other. If everything works out with the edits, PCU will be coming out sometime next week followed closely by Crossroads Beat. That means two paranormal series (with a mystery/suspense bent to it) at the same time. I have no idea what I'm thinking. *shakes head* Hopefully everyone likes paranormal cops, because you'll be seeing a few from me.

Besides that, the next short in the Consent series is coming out this month and likely so will the next Demon Marked short. A busy month.

If you want an idea of some of the stories in the pipeline, here's a list:

M/M Romance Series

  • Jack Nimble Mysteries (contemporary mystery)
  • Shapeshifter series
  • Apocalypse series (I've been fighting to keep this one one book, but it keeps demanding it's a series. More than likely, I'll just put the book out as a stand alone and see what the response is like.)
  • Secrets series (college contemporary)


and of course:

  • Paranormal Crime Unit (PCU)
  • Crossroads Series (which is actually three series in one - Beat (paranormal mystery/suspense), City (everyday paranormal) and University (reincarnation))


M/M Erotica/Erotic Romance Short Stories

  • Demon Marked Universe (outside main storyline)
  • Demon Marked (main storyline)
  • Consent (sci-fi slavery)
  • Crossroads shorts (Yes, Crossroads is everywhere.)
  • Miscellaneous shorts


Of course, not all of these are coming out soon or even this year. I rather produce several books in one series, than have lots of number one books in several series. So no worries there.

So for the rest of this year you'll probably see:

  • PCU (Books 1-3 are set to release this year)
  • Crossroads
  • Demon Marked
  • Consent
  • Miscellaneous stories when I have time


And now I need to get back to work. So much to do. Wah! (I love writing!)
