Hello Everyone! Welcome to my June Symposium!
I hope everyone is having a wonder summer so far! Since we are at the halfway point of the year, this month I thought I’d asked my friends and fellow authors to give everyone an update on what they will be working on so all you readers out there will know what you have to look forward to! So, mark your calendars, ladies and gents...we have some awesome releases coming your way!
LAURIE ROMA: Wow, it seems like I blinked and half the year just disappeared! Right now, I’m currently finishing up the 3rd book of my Breakers’ Bad Boy series, Dante’s Angel, then I will be working on the 4th, which is Nikita’s story, Ash’s Flame. When those are complete, I will be working on my next contribution to the 3013 Series - 3013: GENESIS, which is Maddox, Daimon and Tavius Adaro (the Krytos owners of New Vega) and Mya Spartan’s story. I would also like to work on one or two more Fated Encounters novellas. After that, I hope to find time to work on my first YA story. I’m very excited about each of these new installments. Now, I just need to find the time to write all of them. LOL For all my Arcadian and IAD fans, those books will have to wait a while for me to continue them since I'm no longer writing for that publishing house, but have no fear, I still plan to continue with more books in both series as soon as I am able...so please just be patient!
Katra Tesera is a female Dragon Warrior on a mission. Unsatisfied with the life her family wishes for her back on her home world, she seeks something more for her own future. When the opportunity to visit Earth arises, Katra is eager for the excitement and adventure of traveling the stars. She believes she is ready for whatever lies at the end of her journey, but nothing can prepare her for meeting her mate…the dark and dangerous Tarin warrior, Lord Jaden Tor.
Warlord Jaden Tor is a dedicated leader who is fighting a civil war to save his people. He has always known his path in life, but everything changes the moment he meets the dark-haired beauty with glowing silver eyes. Jaden wants to claim her for his own, however, there is more at stake than his own happiness…
When legacies are challenged, and with Tartarus in turmoil, can Jaden and Katra find a way to be together, or will their love be shattered by the chaos that threatens everything around them?

JOEY W. HILL: I’ve just started another book in my Vampire Queen series world. It’s called The Night’s Templar, and it’s about a vampire who was (is?) a Templar. Kind of mind-boggling, right? How did he participate in battles in daylight? How did they miss his unusual dietary requirements? (lol) Anyhow, the gist of the story is this. Lord Uthe, a member of the Vampire Council, was a Templar centuries ago. Even up to present day, he has attempted to honor the spirit of the Rule, despite the volatile and highly sexual nature of the vampire world. Yet now he’s caught the attention of the Fae Lord Keldwyn, liaison between the Council and Fae Court. Keldwyn challenges Uthe’s emotional isolation and dominant nature. When a quest from Uthe’s past requires Keldwyn’s help to protect both their worlds, Uthe will have to decide whether the Fae male is a gift from God to be cherished and trusted, or a curse that will cause Uthe to fail the oath he took centuries ago.

Celeste has
worked her ass off to establish her freelance blog as a source of accurate
crime news for the Baton Rouge area. Being a workaholic, focusing solely on her
career, was her choice. Five years ago, she had a life-changing experience in a
BDSM club that made it clear she is a submissive, but she believes her past
makes embracing that path impossible. Then Sergeant Leland Keller walks into
her life. He’s the Dom she’s always feared and hoped she’d meet, and he
recognizes her as what he’s been looking for as well. But she fights submission
as much as she longs for it.
Leland
always thought he was looking for a docile, sweet-natured sub, but Celeste
captures his attention in a way no other submissive has. He can tell Celeste is
aching for love and surrender. Having served in the military and now as a
patrol sergeant in one of Baton Rouge’s most dangerous districts, he doesn’t
shy from a challenge.
His job is
to protect and serve. He’s not going to let her down.

WALTERS: The year is half over, but there’s still plenty of time to write a few
more books before it’s done. 2015 has been the year of the Salvation Pack. I’ve
written and contracted book 6: Wolf on a Mission. I’ve just submitted book 7 to
my publisher and hope to deliver book 8 in July. (Book 4: Wolf from the Past is
due out on October 13, and Book 5: Wolf on the Hunt in January 2016.) I’m not
sure what comes next. It will either be another Salvation Pack book or
something totally new. That’s what I love about being a writer—I constantly
have the freedom to create and explore new worlds and characters. I’m
currently editing a firefighter novella that will be part of a boxed set
releasing in a few months. This is one smoking hot paranormal.
Tilly Ledet
has long been a friend of the immortal, shape-shifting warriors who follow the
Lady of the Beasts, a willing helper in their battle against Hades. But now
that Hades is free and unable to touch the warriors, Tilly is fair game.
When Phoenix
shows up insisting she drop everything to go into hiding, Tilly balks. Phoenix
is strong and courageous, but when she imagines being in his arms, the
protective barriers guarding her heart slam down.
For the
first time in his immortal life, Phoenix feels fear. Not for himself, but for
the woman whose beauty and forthright nature heat both his mind and body. While
one kiss easily ignites her passion, claiming her as his own will take more
than heat.
It may
require a sacrifice that could send them both up in flames.

SUSAN HAYES: I’m currently working on Wilde Blues, the fourth book in my Wilde Brothers series. Once Blues is submitted I’ll be writing 3013: FATED. I’m going back Fort Saken on Earth for this story. The last few months of the year will be spent ending one series and starting a new one. I hope to have the last Wilde Brothers book written before the end of 2015, and then I will be writing the first book in my new selkie shifter series, Destiny Bay. Between all that writing I’ll be attending my first convention in August. I’m an attending author at Authors After Dark in Atlanta, and then in October I will be joining some amazing ladies as one of the hosts of the Midnight Gala in New Orleans. I hope to see some of you there!
As the future CEO of Forrester Industries, Lucas Forrester has the kind of life most men only dream of. He’s travelled the world, brokering deals and sealing contracts that have benefited the company while making a name for himself as a cold, calculating negotiator.At work, Luke lives behind his corporate persona, but when a chance encounter with a beautiful and caring stranger brings out his true nature, he finds himself reluctant to go back into hiding.
Veronica Hood’s life will never be mistaken for a fairytale, but she’s proud of what she’s accomplished so far. After years of planning, she’s finally got her own coffee shop, with enough money coming in to stay out of the red and pay for her grandmother’s medical bills, too. When Lucas sees her delivering food to the hungry, he appoints himself as her protector, stealing her heart and starting a whirlwind love affair straight out of a storybook.
The trouble is, Lucas isn’t the only one who has fallen for Ronnie. When her stalker finally emerges from the shadows, Luke will have to fight for his redheaded angel. In the end only one of them can possess her, but who will be the victor...her champion or the dark-hearted wolf?

JENIKA SNOW:
I have so much planned for this year. Not only am I planning on adding to my
already established series, I also plan on writing more for the Grizzly MC and
Brothers of Menace MC. I have just started a next generation series for the
Brothers of Menace, which features their adult children. I have a few
stand-alone titles in the works, and a taboo story I am currently working on.
My writing partner, the very talented Sam Crescent and I have more plans for
our The Soldiers of Wrath MC series, as well as a short story paranormal series
that features heavy elements of BDSM. We also are working on a spin-off
Soldiers of Wrath series called Beautiful Torment. That series will be dark,
gritty, and will hold nothing back. Lots to do this year still, but I’m looking
forward to it.
Marcus wants Corin, but his hands are covered in blood, his soul dark. He isn’t a good man, but he can also see her home life is rocky, and she has a wall around herself. Part of him wants to be good for her.
Corin’s life changed five years ago. She’s a loner, and has isolated herself. And then she meets a hardened biker, one that defends her even though she means nothing to him. He’s rough around the edges, coarse, and a little scary—but he’s all she can think about.
Being the son of The Brothers of Menace VP means Marcus is used to the gritty world of violence and death. But even if Corin’s too good for him he still wants her for himself. He doesn’t know if she fully knows that giving herself to him means she is his irrevocably.

MICHELLE HOWARD: Thanks for asking what I have
planned for the rest of the year. There are so many books that I want to work
on, it’s almost hard to put together a clear picture but I’ll try. Coming July
14, 2015 is Arak’s Love, Book 2 of my A World Beyond Series. The books feature
women from Earth moving to alien worlds in hopes of finding love and romance.
I’m currently working on Book 3 with hopes to have it out in the fall/winter.
I’ve agreed to do a novella for a small anthology set which will probably have
a shifter of some sort in it due to release around November/December. I’m also
excited to work on a story for a small secondary character that readers have
asked about. Time permitting, I’d love to get it out before the end of 2015.
Those are the concrete stories but I’m liable to throw in an unscheduled
extra.
Half-Argoran
shifter, Arak O’tir knew good people existed. He worked with some of them. But
as a deadly Jutak warrior, his work often took him into the less savory
elements of society. So much so, he shielded his heart from those he rescued.
That was, until one particular mission leaves him longing for a specific
female.
Someone who made him tremble even if she wasn’t from his world.
Sylvia
Forrester never expected her quest for a husband would lead her into danger.
Nor could she have ever foreseen that her search would find her captured by
aliens and added to a list of potential sex-slaves to be sold for a high
profit. While her captors should have broken her, destroying any hope she’d had
of a life happily-ever-after, Sylvia’s savior has her wondering if her earlier
dreams could still come true.
But Arak and
Sylvia soon discover love and passion has its own price.

TEHYA TITAN: For the rest of this year, I plan on
continuing my paranormal sci-fi Warrior's series with more stories about the
planet Tor and the humans that find themselves mated to the demon warriors
there. I'm also working a few more projects that I hope to share with readers
soon, including a werewolf serial that I can't wait to start!
Army
Lieutenant Jordan Ramsey is having the worst day of her life. Kidnapped, Jordan
is taken from Earth and brought to a new world where she is to become the
property of an alien warrior that is more demon than man. But even though her
future is no longer her own, she won’t go down without a fight…
Kadan Krell
is the King of Vor. As a ruthless warrior, he never thought he would find his
mate, but when he sees the beautiful human named Jordan, he knows she is
destined to be his. Nothing will stop him from claiming what belongs to him,
and showing her exactly what it means to be a warrior’s mate.
JORDAN MARIE: What’s coming up? Goodness! That is
a loaded question. I am two books away from finishing my Savage Brother’s MC
series. Claiming Crusher will be released in August of this year and hopefully
followed up with Bull’s story. I also have
an anthology this year with some great authors, including Cora Brent. I’m using
this platform to introduce readers to Skull’s story. It’s an Alpha male
anthology. Skull is definitely an over the top alpha. I also have a new country series that centers
around four sisters all getting a second chance of love by some very unlikely
men, which range from a biker, an ex-con, wounded soldier and a broken down
cowboy. I’m loving it so far, I hope readers do too. At present,
my books are only available on Amazon though that may change in the coming year.
NICOLE
I'm marrying my soulmate.
We're having a baby. Life is perfect.
But having it all, means you have everything to lose.
In the blink of an eye, all my dreams slip through my fingers like grains of sand.
DRAGON
I have it all.
My woman has my ring on her finger, my baby in her belly and my club is healing.
Then everything goes to hell.
Nicole thinks we're done.
We are not. She's mine.
*****
Love makes the strong weak.
Will loving Nicole bring Dragon to his knees?
When dark secrets from the past surface, will it be the end of the Savage Brothers MC?

ERIKA REED: I have a few things going on as of
right now that I plan to finish up within the next six months. I recently
release my first installment in a new steamy menage series in which I have been
working on. Club Cravings series is set up in a nightclub atmosphere with
delectable club owners, sexy bartenders, beefy doormen, and the lucky women who
will eventually fall head over heels for them? I also have a stand alone menage
story that I have had on the back burner for some time now that I am trying to
finish up, and I can't wait to share with my readers.
From the minute Gianna walked into their club, Bryce and Dylan Nash knew they had to have her. The rich and successful club owners are tired of meaningless, one-night stands, and they want more in life. After meeting Gianna, the two will stop at nothing to prove two is better than one.
Will Gianna allow Bryce and Dylan to show her what it feels like to be loved by two men?

SAM CRESCENT: Wow, it’s that time already, and I
can’t believe we’re over half way through the year. It has been a pretty hectic
year so far. So, what do I have in store for the second half of 2015? Well, the
hope is to complete the two books remaining in my, Friends, Men, and Secrets
series, along with getting more, The Skulls, and Chaos Bleeds books completed.
I hope by the end of the year, I can get onto the next generation of MC for
those two series. Of course, I’ve got several books planned with the amazing,
Jenika Snow, and I hope she still wants to write with me into 2016. :) Pretty busy
second half of the year, and I hope that I can keep up with everything that
I’ve got planned.

KYLA KINCAID: I work a full-time job on top of
being a full-time mom, so it’s not always easy to stick to a writing schedule.
With that said, I do have several projects on my calendar for the remainder of
the year. I’ll be working on the Alpha Bitten series for the next few months.
Lone Wolf is coming up next, with a release date slated for the end of July.
Then Cat’s Cradle and Alley Cat to follow shortly thereafter. I have a new
paranormal trilogy I’d like to begin before the end of the year, as well as a
pretty badass cyborg series, but these are just tentative plans right now.
Still, I’m hoping to eek out at least the first book in each series by
December. I’m really looking forward to these projects, and I hope readers will
be just as excited about them as I am!

redhead with emerald green eyes would end up being his mate, nor did he
anticipate just how hot he’d burn for her.

JAMES COX: Bikers
on mars fighting for equality. My eight book series is all about sexy badass
bikers trying to do the right thing. I loved Sons of Anarchy and the biker
genre is exploding. I wanted to add my own twist but also make sure my bad guys
weren't so...bad. I switched things up. I made the government pure evil. Women
are for breeding, dark skinned men are slaves and homosexuality is punished by
death. Outlaw is the president of the club and while they fight the government,
he’s pining away for the love of his life who’s in prison on earth for fifteen
long years. I love the stories that are unique but I do make sure my men find
their happy endings. So far, each book had been a bestseller and I can’t thank
my fantastic readers enough. Come join the fight!
What if bad
guys ruled the world and the good guys were the outlaws?
This time
the MCs are taking the war to the surface of Mars. No more shadows. No more
hiding. The old laws—homosexuality is a death sentence, women are for breeding,
and dark skinned-men are slaves—are going to be broken. But the Outlaw MC has a
rat among them...
Torrin is a
prospect. He didn’t have a big problem with the way Mars worked but that’s
because he’s not just a prospective member. Torrin is also an undercover
peacekeeper. His beliefs are thrown upside down because of one man, Mayhem. The
Sergeant at Arms and explosive expert managed to break Torrin. Now, this
formerly straight peacekeeper has to deal with the attraction sizzling between
them and tell the club about his lies. The truth can hurt but for Torrin it may
just get him killed.
And while
Torrin sorts out his new feelings for loving another man, the club plans to
take this war to the next step. Cup your junk, things are about to get explosive.

KALI ARGENT: I have lots of new books planned for
the rest of the year, but nothing is etched in stone. I go where my muse takes
me, and sometimes that means working on a different book than I originally had
scheduled. As of today, the next book on my list is 3013:ALTERED, and I’m so
excited to begin working on it. In August, I’m hoping to have Boundless, the
second book in the Pandora series ready for release. Beyond those two books,
it’s a little more up in the air. I’ll be working on a new story for the
Prelude series, another Pandora book, and at least one more book for The
Revenant series. I’m just not sure which order I’ll be writing them in at the
moment. Hopefully, there will be a little something for everyone in the coming
months, though. Happy Reading!
