And The Winner is…

First of all, my sincere apologies for the delay in announcing the Winner of The Long and Short Reviews’s 2017 Holiday Blogfest. The horrid flu that’s hurdling across North America felled me, not once, but twice. Trust me, if you haven’t had a flu shot – go out and get one pronto! 

Congratulations to ELF, who won a FREE copy of Sinner!!!

But, since I’ve been so remiss, ELF, not only will you receive Sinner, but you’re getting the ENTIRE boxed set of THE HADES SQUAD series!!! 

In addition to SINNER, you’re receiving; LUCIFER, DEVIL, DEMON, & SATAN!

I hope this makes up for my unforgivable tardiness.

Since I managed to sleep through the new year, and then had to work like a dog to catch up with almost two weeks of missed work, I’d also like to wish everyone a HAPPY 2018!

Please, dear God, make it a gazillion percent better than 2017!

The best thing that happened to me last year was the engagement of my young’un to his girlfriend (who I told very early in their relationship after perhaps too much wine – you’re the perfect daughter-in-law…trust me I got reamed for that remark). 

Cheers,

Jianne

The Destroyer is NOW Available on Amazon & Other re-sellers! (For real, this time…)

Click on the cover to go to the Amazon BUY link for The Destroyer or the link below:

Blurb:
To Viking warrior Magnus, marriage is naught but a contract, a bargain between a man and a woman for land and title. Lust, love—he scorns such notions as weak and unmanly. But three days before he’s to wed a highland noblewoman, he falls into the maelstrom of a maid’s startled eyes. Their passionate tryst has him rethinking his notions, and he struggles to find a way to keep the beguiling Deidra while honoring the marriage contract he’s arranged with the father of his betrothed.

Deidra cannot take a walk in the forest without finding a wounded dove. Devoted to her menagerie of injured bears, peacocks, and wolves, she vows to disobey her da when he betroths her to the Norse warrior known as the Destroyer. Until, disguised as a maid, she’s rescued from a would-be rapist by the Destroyer himself. How can any call him ugly or cruel? For he treats her as if she is made of spun glass and teaches her the magikal pleasures of the flesh.

But Magnus is furious when he learns the woman he’s fallen so deeply for is none other than his betrothed. For there’s nothing he despises more than a deceitful female…except, perhaps, two of them…

Have a wonderful weekend!!!

Cheers,

The Destroyer is now a full-length novel and is more than double the total word count of the former novella. New characters, new action and intrigue, and a ton more hot romance!!!

Here’s my fervent Friday request for you—go forth, buy, read,and if you enjoy, please, please, please—leave a review. Reviews make all the difference in the world.

Have a marvelous weekend.

Dodged the Irma Bullet!

Whew! We dodged the Irma bullet!
Yes, there’s tons of damage and a significant percentage of the Florida population has no electricity, but it could’ve been so much worse. Some of the images are astounding including this shot of Brickell Avenue.

Now the cleanup begins…
And we pray that Hurricane Jose suddenly veers straight north into the middle of the Atlantic Ocean.
I keep sending mental prayers of thanks and I’m truly grateful for Facebook’s Safe feature.

Hurricane Irma Aims Directly at South Florida!

If you live in South Florida as I do, you’re right now managing all last minute items in preparation for a monster of a storm.  

Hurricane Irma is wider than the state of Florida!!! 

After seeing the devastation this storm wreaked in Barbuda, Antigua, and St. Marten’s, we are all fearful.

We’re expecting to lose power, but don’t know how long we’ll be without electricity, so everyone’s stocking up. There are no canned veggies or fruits left at Walmart. Say a little prayer for us Floridians everyone. And to my fellow Florida natives – stay safe!

Cheers,
