I'm so pleased to announce the release of A Wicked Love, the second story in the Witches of Cullowhee series. Here's the description:

Lacey Monahan is in a tough place in her life. After being betrayed by her boyfriend and fired from her job as a teacher in Portland, she seeks refuge in the mountains of western North Carolina, where she hopes to discover the origins of her great-great-grandmother, Abigail Pendergrass Lowry.

While there, she meets Rafe Prewitt, a former Motocross racer with a sensual smile who sets his sights on Lacey. Though Rafe's touch sends her over the moon, she's afraid to let another man close, especially a good-looking, smooth-talking man with hot eyes and wicked hands.

When she's given a chance to stay in Cullowhee and discover more about her mysterious ancestress and the buried secrets of her heritage, Lacey must make a decision: Stay and risk having her heart broken, or return to Portland without ever knowing if she could love again.

Until some time Sunday evening, A Wicked Love will be available for purchase for $.99. After that, the retail price will increase to $2.99. It is currently only available as an e-book through Amazon. I hope to compile an anthology of the Witches of Cullowhee stories in print, but that's probably at least a year away.

To celebrate the release of A Wicked Love, I'm doing a couple of things. First, A Higher Purpose, the first story in the Witches of Cullowhee Series, will be available next week as a free download through Amazon, roughly from the 18th to the 22nd.

I'm also giving away ten paperback copies of Light's Bane (Daugthers of the People, Book 2). (Details here.) And, I've made The Prophecy (Daughters of the People, Book 1) available on NoiseTrade as a free download (no tip necessary!).

The next few months will be exciting ones for those of you who enjoy these series. Keep an eye out for more releases, including a special surprise or two just for y'all.
