I chose these two reads to take on vacation with me next week.
The award-winning Lady Sun by Marni MacRae and the epic fantasy novel by Jenna Moreci, The Savior's Champion.
They've both been on my TBR list for some time now and I can't wait to dive into them. 
I'm excited to get away, chill at the beach and enjoy being unplugged!!

Here's my latest ad for Escape.

​I'm excited for all that June holds! I've got some ebook giveaways coming up next month, this awesome book release, a BIG paperback giveaway (of ALL THREE of my books- personalized autographed copies) and my birthday!

Summer is gonna be sizzling ;-) 

Stay tuned for more!

In honor of my cover reveal for book 3, I'm running a Kindle Countdown Deal on Abundance and Return to Abundance.

I just released the cover for book 3 today! I'm ecstatic from all the stellar feedback I've received from it. My cover designer, Olivia, did a wonderful job. I couldn't be more pleased with how it turned out! Escape from Abundance will premiere on June 8th! Stay tuned for the pre-order links in the coming weeks. 

Here's my latest teaser for Escape: 

Man... Jack and Natalie just have that sizzling connection! 

This month marks a much needed vacation for me. I will be unplugged for an entire week and I can't wait, not that I don't love what I do, but I'm looking forward to my own escape from my busy, crazy life! LOL! 

May is going to be a busy month getting Escape ready for its debut along with several graduations. But Summer looks promising with the release of book 3, a steamy southern book promo coming next month, and a book signing/talk at my local library in July. 

Stay tuned! I'll update you soon ;-)

Until next time, Happy Reading...and writing for those that do :-)

​
- I recently received a stellar 5 star review  from longandshortreviews.com. I was compared to Nora Roberts- talk about being blown away AND I received this awesome graphic to put here on my website. In fact, it's about to get put on the Home page ;-) 
- I have an upcoming blog appearance on The Aspiring Author Blog. There will be a review for my book, a giveaway for a free digital copy and a guest post- an article I wrote about the importance of networking as an indie author. 
- My permafree book/book magnet, the prequel to Abundance, Starlight Valley, will be available on Saturday, March 9th. If you have subscribed to my newsletter, you'll get the FREE ebook sent directly to your inbox that day. Go back in time, in this short novella, to Corrine and David's story, long before Natalie met Jack and Starlight Valley Stables was originally founded. 

- I have an upcoming indie author interview with fellow indie author, Nicole Rodrigues- author of the Double Play Series, a sizzling sports romance series, on Tuesday, March 5th. I just did a blog post review of the latest book in the series, Going, Going, Goner. I absolutely LOVED it! 
- Finally (maybe...I think, haha!) my books are now in the Forsyth County library system. I will be meeting with the coordinator for the Community Author Program this Monday. 

This month is full of big and exciting things, and I'm looking forward to continuing to get my name and books out there in the public eye as well as online. This is such an amazing journey and I look forward to continuing my writing, stay tuned readers for more news in the coming months. Happy March!!

I am the featured author this month on the Goodreads New Authors forum. I'm super excited and honored to be able to share book excerpts and tell a little more about myself there as well as connect with fellow authors and readers! 

I've finished the amazing fantasy novel of fellow author KJ Backer, Nav'Aria, check out my five star blog post on it.

I'm currently reading Nameless by Marni MacRae, and I have three more books I plan to read this month- Curveball by Nicole Rodrigues, A Secret Place of Thunder by Patricia D. Adams and the highly anticipated sequel to Hunted in the Valley, Secrets in the Valley, by C.R. Pugh. It's a great time for some hot new reads!

I've finished the prequel to Abundance. It will be titled Starlight Valley, and I'm in the process of getting the cover designed. I will keep you posted on the release date and where to look for it. Book 3 is being editing too, and I'm looking to release it in the summer. 

Happy weekend everyone! Happy reading AND happy writing- for those that apply ;)

I was struck with the brilliant idea (not like I don't have enough on my plate) on Friday that I should do a prequel to Abundance, sort of an "intro to Abundance- where it all began" kinda deal. I've also been editing book 3, working on book 4 and reviewing other indie author books. Check out my latest blog post on Blood Drops for a creepy read here- review-of-blood-drops-by-wb-welch.html
