New Release from Anne Conley plus Contest

Welcome to Mystic, Texas, where the past stays alive in more ways than one.
Tiffany Masters is desperate for a fresh start after the loss of her husband. Landing in Mystic, she soon learns the town has as many secrets as she does. The local book club, The Book B!tches, gives her the courage to be herself without worrying about adult things, like bills, parenting, and supper. 
However, her new boss may be more than she can handle.
Nick takes pride in his business. Being the only bar owner in town has its challenges, the biggest being his new employee. Tiffany’s a fireball—sexy as hell, with a temper to match—and off-limits. She’s got kids; he’s been there, done that, didn’t care to get the t-shirt.
When their heated attraction sparks a spat, the sheriff gives them an ultimatum: settle their problems or go to jail. He’s got a crime to solve—a woman’s dead, Wren’s still missing, and there’s another possible victim.
Mystic may have a serial killer on the loose.
**This is not a standalone novel. It is recommended that Power of Love, Book B!tches #1 be read first.**

Hi, everyone,
I'm having a giveaway for a $25 Amazon gift card! (US only.)

Highlander Unbroken is a Sceal Book Award Finalist at Books & Benches!

Here are two awesome reviews for Highlander Unbroken:

5 stars, Reviewer's Top Pick: "Highlander Neacal MacDonald was a broken man in spirit and body. He was a spy for the King but was betrayed, caught and tortured by his family's enemy clan, the MacRankins. Although broken in body and madness stirring his mind and spirit, he can't fully chase his demons away. Trying to be the best chief for his clan is difficult when everyone has you labeled the mad chief. 

Anna Douglas is traveling with a group of ministrels, and has the voice and face of an angel, and she's the only one that can chase his madness away. But who is Anna and who is she running from? What are her secrets? Secrets that can have a devastating effect and can bring death and destruction to everyone close to her. She dares not succumb to the attraction and desire that she feels for Neacal, even though it feels so right. 

Neacal can't seem to get Anna out of his mind and every time they are together he feels consumed with desire like never before. Treachery, deceit and a race for time are working against them, enemies death and destruction seem inevitable! Join Neacal and Anna as they fight for their happily ever after! Vonda Sinclair is a magnificent story teller, and she captures every emotion the hero and heroine are feeling. Fast-paced and exhilarating till the very end. Highly recommended."
Maria Rose Dariotis at Books and Benches




A Night Owl Reviews Top Pick!  "What a great story! Highlander Neacal MacDonald is a man who has been broken in both body and mind after being betrayed and then tortured by his enemies. He's now the leader of his clan but he's struggling to hold on to his sanity while he tries to be the best leader he can to his people. Anna Douglas is traveling with a group of minstrels and she has horrors of her own she's trying to out run. The two are immediately attracted to each other but can they put aside their demons to be what the other needs?
This was so, so good. The story was really well written and the characters felt real. My heart went out to both Anna and Neacal. They had both been through so much pain but were at core really strong people. Their romance was super touching and I was rooting for them all the way.

The plot was fast paced filled with suspense. It was engaging and I couldn't read this book fast enough. It killed me to have to put it down and go adult.

This is the 8th book in this series but I had not read the previous ones but I had no trouble following the plot line. It worked just fine as a stand alone. I had never read this author before and I'm so glad I tried this book. I will definitely be going back to read all the other books in this series."
BookGirl, Night Owl Reviews

Torture has driven Neacal MacDonald to the brink of madness.
As the new chief of the MacDonald clan, Neacal will do whatever it takes to honor his late father and to help his clan thrive. But whispers of his madness abound and many in his clan turn traitor, wanting MacDonald of Sleat to lead them instead. Conflict ignites between the bitter rivals when Sleat garners the help of the man who tortured Neacal in the past.

Can one woman's song pull him back and begin to heal his soul?
Everything has been ripped from Anna Douglas except her angelic voice and the will to survive. When she meets Neacal, she recognizes something familiar in him—stark loneliness and pain. His past could be even more tragic and tarnished than hers. No one must learn her true identity or about the brutish man declaring she is his wife, for he will stop at nothing to reclaim her. Though Neacal vowed to never trust a woman again, he cannot resist the secrets in Anna's eyes or her spellbinding song, which threatens to break down the icy walls surrounding his tormented heart.

Writing the Next Great American Romance--During a Storm



Yep, squished on my lap, looking over my keyboard, my puppies watch me take pictures, but really, as you can see here, I was typing away on my next story. Tanner, the black and tan Havanese, had to peer over my laptop, and I had to take a picture. Max, the white Havanese, has to get as close to me as he can.

Getting ready for St. Patrick's Day--may the luck of the Irish be with you! Making bears, need to make another.

 And playing around with Photoshop's oil paint versions of the puppies.

And gardening!
Well, this is a weed. But isn't it pretty?
And this is a Sweet Sixteen Gerbera Daisy. Isn't it pretty?

And garlic chives, so yummy on baked or boiled potatoes! They've been growing all year, even through the hard freeze we had, and now are all a bloom.

Oil paint version of garlic chives.
For the first time, I've planted zinnia, salvia, coneflower, and some other seeds. I usually end up pulling them up as weeds, I think, but this time, I've seen all kinds of sprouts and I'm hoping they'll come up and I'll have a garden filled with flowers.

But the writing deadlines are seemingly insurmountable, so off I go to finish up Flight of the White Wolf, get the promo blogs done for the upcoming release April 4th, of Between a Wolf and a Hard Place, and the teddy bear, taxes, read a book for an author quote, and the list goes on and on!

 Coming April 4th!!

Renee Doiling of Floating Lights Photography shows a video on how to use Photoshop to create oil painting versions of your photos.

It takes a second, and really has some beautiful results. . Snoopy the cat was at our Writer’s Retreat, such a sweet, poseable model, and the garlic chives flower blooming in the pot on my back porch. I’ve eaten the chives all year since last spring. They never died back, not even with the hard freeze we had.
And I’ve been gardening. I put out zinnia and salvia seeds, so we shall see if anything comes of them. While I was planting them, I found tons of fire ants too. Ugh. ‘Tis the season.
Okay, I’m off to get to work. I really, really need to whittle down these projects. I have a bear to make, taxes to do, a book to write, a promo coming up, need to finish the Rita judging, more edits, Galaxy Warrior print version proofing, a book to read for a quote, and more. I feel overwhelmed when I have this many projects to complete. I need to make another cover, this one for an audiobook for Taming the Wild Cougar. So many things to do, need, want, so little time!
Have a smooth, oil painting kind of day.

The Best Ways To Waste Time

Okay, so “writers block” is an inevitability in the life of every writer. Sometimes it’s short-lived, and sometimes it lasts for a while. I’m in a bit of a funk at the moment, so I thought I’d share some of the best ways I’ve discovered for wasting time this last month…

Facebook seems to be my go-to.



Led Zeppelin played by a rock god on a violin:

And of course wasting time with the Sunday comics: 



Hopefully you’ve enjoyed this brief respite from life, and are ready to get back to work. I am!

Best,
