I really hope you enjoy it!
Gen
Dom and Kate
It might be a wee bit darker in tone than Bird Day Battalion…
But, on the bright side, you’ll be getting BOTH Katelyn and Dominic’s perspective in the new short story and the sexytime. I should have had it done ages ago. I could list all the many excuses about Real Life, kids, the horrible pestilence that is the Norovirus, but instead, I hope you’ll just accept my apologies. It should be out this week on Amazon and Smashwords. Then you’ll have to wait the usual forever-like for Apple and the rest to upload it. Here’s a wee teaser:
Can’t get enough of The Downeys? #ASMSG
Did you know? You can read some facts about the characters in the Downey-verse that may or may not be revealed in the books at the page to the right called:
More about The Downey Trilogy.
This week (knock wood) I hope to add a few more characters, including ones from the Bird Day Battalion who are tangentially related in that Kyle Anderson (Katelyn’s twin brother) was Tommy’s partner at the Omaha Police Department.
In addition, the wonderful ladies at the Five Star Series group at Goodreads made a whole thread about First, I Love You which is a really huge honor to me and I didn’t even ask them to do it! There (hopefully!!) you can talk about your favorite parts of the book to give their group members an idea of what it’s about. The more people that talk about the book the better. Heck, I’d even welcome complaints. Well… gentle complaints. LOL I just would love to not be talking to myself.
I’ve also requested reviews from some lovely ladies who run lovely fiction reviewing blogs so that means over the course of the next several months I can get some reviews for First, I love You from perfect strangers, which I hope in turn means readership and reviews for Second of All. Well… assuming they don’t just lobster hate it. But nobody has hated it yet. Even the ones not related to me. Har har.
Speaking of which, THANK YOU very, very, very much to those who have taken the time to rate or review any of my books! You are all made of awesomesauce.
I hope everyone is having a great weekend so far!
And as always,
‘I wish you enough’.
EDITED TO ADD:
Ok, so I wrote the above post and today I get a random one star (with no review attached) for First, I Love You at Apple. Absolutely no one has given it less than four stars so far, but there is a first time for everything and not everyone likes the same things. So I need to ammend the statement above to say apparently there is someone who lobster hates it. Ha! I’m cool with that.
Holy Cow, guys! Thank you for being awesome!
Look how well First, I Love You and Bird Day Battalion are doing so far on the Goodreads Listopia lists:
You guys are made of AWESOMESAUCE!!!!
Q&A at #Goodreads?
Been thinking about doing an author Q&A at Goodreads along with the giveaway next month. Would any of you be willing to show up and ask questions so I don’t talk to myself? LOL
And thank you again and again for all the support! Keep getting the word out about The Bird Day Battalion! Thanksgiving is only a week away!
And by the way? Jay Ryan? Besides being mega HAWT, he’s almost exactly how I pictured Tommy Gates writing him in First, I Love You only with green eyes. So the next time you read Tommy looking at someone through the fringes of his hair…say in Second of All…hint hint…here ya go:
Not watching Beauty and the Beast? You really should. And not just because Jay Ryan periodically takes his shirt off and is super buff and broody and dark and dangerous…mmnnnnn… but because it’s also a good police procedural.
LOL

Did you know?
So I just checked on iTunes and it shows Bird Day Battalion at #2, right next to Gemma Halliday!
This prompted an entirely new post because I am a HUUUUGE Gemma Halliday fan. I absolutely adore her High Heels mysteries. So just having my name next to hers temporarily is such an incredible honor, I don’t even know where to start! 🙂 And last night (true it was probably just an autofollow bot, but still) Bella Andre followed me on Twitter. Total fangirl squee moment. I swear, who knew following your pipe dreams could lead to such happiness?
And I want to say AGAIN because it can’t be said ENOUGH:
THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU to everyone that has read The Bird Day Battalion and First, I Love You, and especially those of you who have taken time to spread the word and leave reviews.
*smooches*
Gen
Gratitude seems not strong enough
So I posted a picture (taken from my phone in excitement before I realized I could have just done another screencapture–did I mention excitement? LOL) on Facebook and Twitter: [UPDATE: Did a screencapture!]
I CANNOT THANK YOU ALL ENOUGH for helping put The Bird Day Battalion in the Top Five free downloads at Apple!!!! I know that free tends to sell itself, but there are a lot of free stories out there so to me it speaks more of you guys helping spread the word, and for that I am so deeply humbled and thankful. Even if it just lasts today it’ll stay in my heart and mind on those days when I’m having trouble expressing myself writing for The Downey Trilogy or anything else. And I do have lots of anything elses stuck in my head waiting to be told.
Special shout out to my friend Sweet P (known to some of you as Bad Penny) for rallying the #Naughtyville troops. If you are an adult, go follow her blog (if you’re not already) for sexy & sweet poetry, BDSM Erotica, and some seriously salacious photos:

This and That
Ok so the Goodreads Giveaway has closed and I’ll be getting some of these books out to the winners as well as those who’ve written me for signed copies. (Didn’t know you could do that? Why, sure! Hit me up on Facebook or Twitter)
I really hope the winners enjoy, not just as an author, but perhaps they’ll write a review that will help other readers decide to take a chance on a new author, seeing as I don’t know them from Adam. Not to sound *too* cocky but how can you not love The Downeys? Ah… now I’ve got to knock wood. Any volunteers? LOL
Anyhoo, I want to thank those of you who have been helping me spread the word about The Bird Day Battalion short romance story! Without it being on Amazon’s KDP I can’t list it on most Free Book Promotion websites, as of course, it is not free at Amazon. BUT if you can help spread the word I think it will “sell” itself so to speak since it is free. Who doesn’t love FREE ROMANCE? I mean, come on?
So, lend it, talk about it, review it, recommend it. And I *hope* to do another holiday romance for you around Valentines Day. Because I love you guys, I really do!
I hope to post again later, this time with maybe a sneak peek at Second of All.
HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!!!!!
A great collection of well written books from fellow ASMSG authors.
