Wild Cat Release! And other things

Lots of news! I’m pleased to announce the release of WILD CAT (Shifters Unbound Book 3), on Tuesday January 3.

This book is out in both print and e-, available wherever you shop for books, as well as online at Books on Board, Amazon, B&N, Kobo, iTunes, Sony, etc.

When Diego Escobar assists in what should be a simple task of arresting a trespasser, he comes face-to-face with his first Shifter--the beautiful feline Shifter Cassidy Warden. Assigned to watch over her, Diego learns more about the lonely, wild Cassidy than it's safe to know. Diego might be human, but he's virile and darkly handsome, and stirs Cassidy's mating desire, which she thought dead forever. (Author’s note: Diego is strong, bad-ass, and hot!!)

What’s Happening with Other Series?

This year will see several releases in all my series. Look for:

Tales of the Shareem: Justin (Shareem #7), by Allyson James, sometime near the end of January

Nightwalker (Stormwalker #4) by Allyson James, in February

A Disappearance in Drury Lane (Captain Lacey Mysteries #8) by Ashley Gardner, in March

The Duke’s Perfect Wife (Hart’s story—Mackenzies #4) by Jennifer Ashley, in April

Another Shifters Unbound short novel (Spike’s story), in May or June

In the rest of the year, look for another Stormwalker book, another Capt. Lacey mystery, and more tie-in short novels in the Shifters and the Mackenzie series, as well as more full-length Shifter and Mackenzie releases.

Plus, I might be starting a few new things—perhaps some contemporary romances. I’m doing a lot already this year, so I’ll keep you posted on that!

The book started out to be a novella, but then . . . something happened. I went with the flow, wanting to tell Ronan and Elizabeth's story in the length it needed to be.

This was a labor of love. Reconnect with the Shifters of the Austin Shiftertown, see Liam and Kim's new baby, and meet new Shifters!

Best,

Jennifer

Update on Bodyguard

Bodyguard (Shifters Unbound 2.5) will release this Saturday, the 19th (e-book vendors willing). It is not available for preorder, unfortunately. That's out of my control. The e-version will release first, with a print version in a couple of weeks.

If you'd like an email blast when Bodyguard is available for purchase, sign up to my newsetter either at:
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/JenniferAshleyNews/

Or email me at jenniferashley @ cox.net (no spaces), and I'll add you to my list! Don't worry; I'll broadcast loud and clear when the book is out! I'm getting excited.

Best,

What's Coming Next

I've been a little quiet here, but I'm working on many things. Next up is another Captain Lacey Regency Mystery, A Death in Norfolk. Read about that and the rest of the series at http://www.gardnermysteries.com/  (Most recent release is a short story collection The Gentleman's Walking Stick.) The books are also now being re-released in print.

In November, a new Shifters novella will join the Shifters Unbound series. BodyGuard, Ronan's story, will be out November 15. I will post more information, excerpts, etc. as that day nears. See my website: http://www.jennifersromances.com/ (choose either "Coming Soon" from the top menu or Shifters Unbound from the side menu).

I'm also working on a Stormwalker short story (by Allyson James) that will likely appear in an anthology (and if not, it will be e-pubbed). I'll let you know after I turn that in when that anthology will happen and where it will be available.

In addition, I'm working on another Stormwalker novel, tentatively titled Nightwalker, that I hope to have out by the end of the year. (Shareem fans: I'm also working on Justin).

This is why I have not been online as much lately! Things seem quiet, but I'm busy working behind the scenes.

I will post more excerpts and details as release dates near.

Thanks for the great release month for Many Sins of Lord Cameron and The Madness of Lord Ian! It's so nice to see the Mackenzies together again.

Take care,

Jennifer

Release Day! Many Sins of Lord Cameron and Madness of Lord Ian Mackenzie

Yay!! Today The Many Sins of Lord Cameron hits the shelves! I've had reports of sightings at Wal-mart, Borders going out of business sales, and other places. It is also available as an ebook on Nook, Kindle, Sony, etc etc.

Also released is The Madness of Lord Ian Mackenzie once again available! It has been out of print (and e-) since December, so I'm thrilled it's on the shelves again!

I hope you enjoy Cameron's story and have a chance to revisit Ian!

I have a page dedicated to the Mackenzies, which I've recently updated with news about forthcoming books and more character sketches. http://www.jennifersromances.com/NewSite/Mackenzies/mackenzie_main.html

Best,

A Word about My Backlist

Readers: Over the next few weeks, you may notice my deep Jennifer Ashley backlist no longer available in Kindle, Nook, and other e-editions. (EXCEPT MACKENZIES and SHIFTERS! Those are safe!!!!).

This is because I am getting the rights back from my former publisher, Dorchester. I will be putting the titles up independently on Kindle, Nook, and other vendors through Smashwords. Because I have about a gazillion books (ok, I think ten books and four novellas), it's going to take some time.

It's not a question of slapping them up there--I need to commission new covers, re-edit the original files, and get them proofread. Please be patient with me! I will put each book up as soon as it's finished and announce when it's available. I am working on a publishing schedule so you'll know what's coming when.

Thank you for supporting these books over the years, and I hope to soon make them available to you again. At new lower prices!! :-)

Pride Mates (Shifters Unbound Series)

Next week (July 5), Pride Mates, the first book of the Shifters Unbound series, will be back on the shelves!! It's being re-printed by Berkley (is already available as an ebook).

I was thrilled that Berkley could again use the cover art by Franco. I love that picture.

I have more announcements about this series, but I have to wait until everything's concrete before I give you some fun news. Darn it.

On another note: The Many Sins of Lord Cameron, which has been getting some fabulous reviews from Publisher's Weekly and RT Bookreviews, is just around the corner. AUGUST 2!! Coinciding with the re-release of The Madnesss of Lord Ian with a brand new cover.

I can't get to RWA this year, but I assure you, I'll be spending the time writing. On the fun things I will tell you about soon. :-) And many other things!
