It’s Official!!!!

I am going to be a Featured Author at Authors After Dark this year! I’m so excited too.

For the last two years I’ve been going to AAD as a reader and assistant helping out the fabulous Melissa Schroeder. This year I’ll be going as an author (and probably still be helping Mel, since that’s what friends do).

I’ll be bringing books for readers to purchase. I have my little paypal reader all set up and tested it out when my mother-in-law bought books from me. As of right now I will have Craving More and Claiming More. If all works out like I have planned there will possibly be 2 more print books there as well.

I hope to see you there!

Sampson Hart has known Mary Jane Poppy for ten years. She?s his sister?s best friend, business partner, and has had a crush on Sam for years. When the mating pull hits him, he?s ready to claim her as his own. Given their history, it should be simple. Right?

MJ has loved Sam since she was fifteen. But being a hybrid, she?s been told all her life she won?t have a mate. When Sam proclaims she belongs to him, she doesn?t believe it; the mating pull isn?t there, and Sam isn?t meant to be hers.

Running back home to escape the love she feels for Sam, MJ agrees to become the companion of a man who lost his mate and has three young children to raise. It is the only way to set Sam free to find the one he is truly meant to be with.

Will Sam be Claiming More or will the one he desires the most find comfort in the arms of another?

Happy New Year!

Today as we ring in the new year I thought I would take a look back at my first year of publishing. Wow! Just typing it is cool. I’m not one of those authors that says “I always wanted to write.” In high school I enjoyed writing. On vacations to my Nana’s I would hide away in one of the rooms and write my stories of unrequited love. After I got all of the emotions and feelings out on paper I would fold it up into the smallest square possible and set it aside until next time. It was never something I ached to do or was a life goal. But as you know with time, goals change and I like to think I’ve grown into the real me that lurked inside.

On May 31st I released my first ever book. It is my take on the shapeshifter idea featuring large cats, tigers to be specific. I love tigers and I’m pretty sure that’s my inner animal.

Craving More

Craving_600x900

Craving More became an Amazon Best Seller which was so freaking fantastic. It was #908 Paid in Kindle Store. Hit #13 in Werewolves & Shifters, #21 in Paranormal & Urban and #38 in Fantasy & Futuristic.

Next up I decided to release a Contemporary Romance Novella. I dedicated it to my husband because he’s Airborne qualified in the US Army. I love it when I can see him jump. It such a cool thing. I, myself, have even done a tandem jump while we lived in Colorado Springs. My instructor was a cutie from Australia. It’s a rush to jump out of a plane and I can see why Todd (my husband) loves being on Jump Status.

While not a smash hit like Craving More, Caught in the Moment ?landed on 2 best seller lists. It also showed me that ?paranormal romance might be the genre I should concentrate on. Readers seemed to really love the tigers!

In October Claiming More released on Amazon KDP. I never knew how difficult it would be to write another book on a series. The pressure that goes with making sure its as good as or better than the first. I knew people wanted a longer book, more of my Tiger Nip world and let’s face it, Sam had a lot to live up to from the quick glances we saw of him in Craving More. I feel I’ve done a damn good job of living up to Craving More.

Claiming More

Claiming_600x900

To round out my year I released a short story. (yes….it really is a short story). Dallas & Kacie was a way for me to write about secondary characters I didn’t plan on writing a full length book about. I have plans for 2 more short books just like it.

Dallas & Kacie: Tiger Bite

Tiger Bite_600x900

That’s my year in a nutshell. Not bad for a newbie. My plans for this year include introducing a new series, Angels of the Underworld. I want to write book 3 and 4 of Tiger Nip books (there’s a book 5 that might not happen until 2015) and possibly write 2 more Freefall books. We’ll see how it all plays out. I have 12 folders full of notes for 12 different story/series ideas and you never know what I’ll come up with throughout the year. First up will be my next Freefall book featuring twins Revlin & Kegen Ferris. They are the brothers of Quin Ferris the hero of Caught in the Moment.

Happy New Year!!! I hope it brings you everything you hope it will.

Claiming More pricing

The time for Claiming More to be released is upon us! I hope you’re as excited about it as I am. I have already hit the publish button and am just waiting for it to go live. Amazon says it takes around 12 hours for the US market and up to 48 for foreign markets. I wanted to make sure it was loaded and for sale on the designated released date which is Oct 8.

While we wait for it to show up on Amazon I wanted to give you a little info. Claiming More was originally slated to be between 40,000 – 46,000 words. That word range would keep the book the same length as Craving More and around the same price, $2.99

What I ended up with was a book that is 58,100 words. 12,000 words more than the first book. I went more in depth with the Tiger background and characters. I’m trying to learn from the comments and critiques of Craving More. So Claiming More will be $3.99

I felt I needed to raise the price since the word count went up and not by just a little bit. I know your money is precious and you pick wisely where you want to spend it. I’m hoping you will think Claiming More is worth the extra dollar.

Future books will be kept in the 55,000 – 60,000 words range and stay at the $3.99 price range.

Thanks….Brandy
