Rachel Reads

A new feature I added to my monthly newsletter is Rachel Reads. It's basically my TBR pile. There are so many great books out right now. There are days where I think I can't possibly read them all. But, like any good bibliophile, I am up for the challenge of trying! A few that are on my radar right now -
Patricia Briggs Storm Cursed releases in a few days and I cannot wait. The Mercy Thompson series has been on my one click list forever!
Dannika Dark's Moonstruck releases in June. I'm reading Nevermore right now to get caught up on the Crossbreed series. IF you haven't started this series yet you are missing out! Raven kicks ass.
The Cursed Key by Rebecca Hamilton and Miranda Brock is a pre-order I just clicked. I don't typically do pre-orders (I have no logical explanation for this) but the premise - Laura Croft meets Ilona Andrews? Yes please!!! Needless to say I am eagerly awaiting this one! There are snipets on Wattpad now to hold you over!
How To Wake an Undead City by Hailey Edwards is another one click June release! Summer reading never looked so good!! This series became a one click for me with the first book!

I'd love to hear what books are on your summer reading or tbr lists!

Long Time No See

It's been awhile since my last blog post and here's why. So much has changed in just a few - well several, actually - months. A lot of my readers know that my day job running the family business was impacted after two flash flood in eighteen months. Shortly after my last post I wrapped up the procedure of closing that business and got back to focusing on my writing. But if there's on thing I've learned in my forty-one years it's that life finds a way for shenanigans. A couple months after that the #bigmove began with news my husband's plant was closing and we would be transferring to a new plant out of state. We're still in the process! It's been crazy. Somehow, and I have no idea how, I managed to release two books during that time. 'Ink It Over book one in the Touch of Ink trilogy came out in January while I was driving a twenty-seven foot truck seven hundred miles through snow, ice and then rain to our new temporary home. Yikes! Rotten Luck, a stand alone novel, released in March while I was still washing paint out of my hair from working on our house here to prepare it for market. It's since been listed. But life hasn't slowed down. Something I am sure all of you can relate to! I'm busy getting my ducks in a row for a winter release. That will make 2019 my first ever three book release year. Fingers crossed I can hit my goal! I'm admittedly a slow writer. But it feels like things are getting back to some semblance of normal. **insert new shenanigan here**
