Well, this was a surprise. JUKEBOX is a semifinalist in this year’s Amazon Breakthrough Novel Awards.

Last year HEAVEN was a quarterfinalist, so its nice to go one step further. However, I need to stick to the plan of getting out the finished novels, so I’m happy to say the Paranormal and Scifi books (with minority protags) should be out shortly.

I’ve finished up editing JUKEBOX Vol 1, and plan on including excerpts of the other novels in the back of this ebook with a sneak peek at JUKEBOX Vol. 2.  I hope to gain a bit more publicity for the other novels while JUKEBOX is still in the running at Amazon (however, the final three will be announced on May 22nd, so that may be the end of my run in the competition, but I’m glad for the experience).

Anyway, here’s a cover mock up of the slave falls for samurai upcoming ebook:

Gaijin is not the final title, since the timeperiod of the book is earlier than the known use of the word. Also, I think I’d rather have the male without anything on his face and body so I need to do some airbrushing.

The Ebook release is April 16th. TBA

Here’s the book trailer for JUKEBOX. This may not be the final version, but I had fun creating it:

There’s not enough diversity in paranormal romance, so my daughter and I are working on more lead characters of color.

I just found out about this contest, unfortunately after the deadline.
