by Mlissa | Nov 16, 2017 | Now Available, older books, re-releases

Available as an ebook:

When two people must push through the last vestiges of heartache and guilt to embrace life and love, it takes a leap of faith, a lot of tears, and some unbridled sexiness on a porch swing…
Caitlyn never expected to be a widow at the age of thirty.
Jethro never expected to lose his brother in the desert of Afghanistan so far from home.
Neither expected the feelings and desires from long ago to bubble up through the cracks in their hearts.
But for two souls who were never meant to be more than friends, life has pushed them toward finding happiness together.
*This book was previously published by Ellora’s Cave Publishing, Inc and titled The Swing. It has been revised, expaned, re-covered, and re-titled.
New books will be coming soon (paranormal and contemporary and a new pen name) and all these older ones will be coming back, too (including the ones that need new books written). Thank you for all your patience and support.
Have a great weekend!

I spent the better part of yesterday morning changing prices, delisting books at distributors, and making lists of things I want to do with the next few months.
I am putting the majority of my self-published books in Kindle Unlimited for 3 months. You may wonder why and you may not. But the simple fact is that my books aren’t selling anywhere. Not really even at Amazon. It’s worth a try in Kindle Unlimited, but I understand I may make less. Honestly, though, for the last 3 months at other book sellers, I made $11.
The place where I sell most is at Amazon. The books that are selling the best for me and that’s not saying much are the Amazon exclusive Kindle World books. I make more from those 3 than I do from the other 20 something titles I have combined. That’s… I don’t know what that is. Sad. Scary. I… I don’t know.
So, I’m trying Kindle Unlimited with the majority of my self-published titles.
Other titles, I’m pulling off sale for a while to do revisions on and look into new covers for… Masked. Melting Jane.
Love & Tattoos will get revisions, but not a new cover.
And I’ll be adding a revised short to Arresting Holli.
More Than This and Double Up have reverted back to me from Loose Id, so I’ll be revising those and putting them back out sometime late this year or early next year.
I’ve also changed the prices on the books that will be going into Kindle Unlimited. Lowered some. Raised some. Granted, if you’re a member of KU, you pay a set rate and can download for ‘free’. If you’re not a member, but are curious about Kindle Unlimited, you can Sign Up HERE
I do have new books coming. I am getting organized. I am finding my way. I am grateful to all who have stuck by on this weird merry-go-round ride I seem to be on. I love y’all more than words can say.

So, I talked with this author, Penny Watson, today and then, I read the blurb for her book and I laughed. And bought the book. That’s a sign, y’all. If you can make me laugh by the just the blurb, I’ll give your book a shot. There are other factors too such as originality. Curiousness. And samples. (more…)

Earlier this week, I tried a new to me author. I’m very skeptical when it comes to new authors. It’s so easy to get burned.
I heard about her in a Facebook group. Readers were all about the second book, Beneath This Ink. I went in search of the first book, Beneath This Mask. (more…)
