Audiobook News!

DESIRE ME is here!

No, not in ebook. That's been around for a while. But audio... I don't know if any of us were ready for this.

Jason Clarke and Stella Hunter have continued their phenomenal work on the Southern Nights: Enigma series. They bring Saint and Rae to life in a way that has sent chills up my spine every time I listen. Not to mention making the “hot” in Enigma even hotter! If you love audiobooks, even if you haven't heard the rest of the Southern Nights series, you've got to grab this one.

How about a sample?

What are early listeners saying about DESIRE ME?

A lot! Here’s just a sample from Twitter users:

“This is so good — one helluva ride!”

“Only a few chapters in and I'm hooked! Amazing work from Stella Hunter & Jason Clarke.”

“Have plenty of water with this one.”

“I love Ella Sheridan’s writing. She has some of the best romantic suspense books in the biz.”

“More Stella and Jason? Yes please!”

I recently spent a week with my critique partner, Gina L Maxwell, talking writing and actually writing at her home with her fantastic clowder of kitties and her super-affectionate boxer, Nova, who couldn't seem to stay out of my lap.

But I didn't just spend the week cuddling Nova. I also spent it working on the very next Silver Foxes of Black Wolf’s Bluff book, now titled 40 AND (SO OVER) FIXING IT. Erin and Carter are sparking off each other like you would not believe. I hope to have this book finished by the end of this month and out to you in June. Then it's time to dig into some serious progress on PHOENIX FALLING. I'm also right now in the process of working out the next story arc for Assassins and Nix's team backstory.

One of the most frequently asked questions I get about Assassins is whether or not Levi and Abby’s storyline will continue. I'm happy to say that you won't lose the original brothers in the continuing arc. Much in the vein of J. R. Ward and similar authors, I intend to include storylines from the brothers as well as the ongoing stories about the new team in each new novel. Will we see Levi and Abby get married? Have that baby they didn't realize they wanted until it was no longer a possibility? Well, you'll have to read to find out the details, but I can assure you there will be details. (insert evil author laughter here)

Spring News and Tulips!

Spring Has Sprung, Y’all!

I’m finally recovering from my bout with Covid early this year, and I’m busy working on the latest Silver Foxes book. The book is now officially called 40 AND (FINALLY) FIXING IT—"fixing it” because it features Erin, Black Wolf’s Bluff’s beloved general contractor. Our small-town girl meets her match in a big-city guy this go-round when Carter and his precocious little boy show up in BWB. I’ve got a lot of fun things planned for this book that I think you’ll love, not the least of which is a crazy male peacock named Willard who thinks he’s in love with Erin. I can’t wait for you to meet him.

Aside from writing, I’ve been resting a lot, swimming when I can, and spending time with Oliver, who just turned four (I cannot believe it!), and my kids. My daughter recently took me to a local tulip farm that is in full bloom for springtime right now. You would not believe all the blossoms! Tulips in all varieties and colors, from the lightest butter yellow to the deepest, darkest red. Beautiful orange and red hybrids. Gorgeous white blooms with light peachy stripes. Want to see some pictures?

As far as books, I’ve got great news for anyone who is looking for the last audio installment for Southern Nights: Enigma. DESIRE ME will be releasing in April! I’ll have a pre-order link for you at the beginning of the month, so keep an eye out for that.

I’m also hoping to have some excerpts and more news on PHOENIX FALLING (Archai Warriors 2) and the next Assassins book coming up in the next couple of newsletters. In the meantime, take care of yourselves, and happy reading!

Have You Read COME FOR ME?

Book 1 in the Southern Nights: Enigma book is currently FREE!

He lived a life of danger and loneliness without her. He’s never going back.

Olivia Brannan never expected an ordinary workday to turn into a nightmare. She thought nothing could make her happier than having Dain as her husband. Her hard-core, intense alpha male. Protective to the extreme. Commanding—in and out of the bedroom. Her soul mate. They have everything they ever wanted. Or, almost everything. Until today.

Today, she found out she’s pregnant. And unknowingly walked into a roomful of killers.

Ten years. That’s how long Dain has lived his dream life. His wife is the partner he always wanted, in every way. And if they can’t have children of their own, well, the elite team he runs at Atlanta’s top security firm is often handful enough. They’ve created a “family” that fits them and fills their lives.

One phone call changes all that.

He never thought his wife could get pregnant. He never thought she’d be held hostage. Now it’s up to him and his team to get the love of his life—and the child they never thought they’d have—out alive.

Well 2023 Is Being a PITA

How’s Your New Year Going?

I’ll tell you, mine isn’t going to plan. 😊 That’s par for the course the past couple of years, I guess, for all of us. I started the year off with Covid, and I’ve basically been sleeping and trying to get my brain to work ever since.

So how do I want the rest of the year to go?

Not like this! I began the first week of January on a new mindset journey, working to build more positivity into my life, be kinder to myself, take care of myself. All of that went by the wayside when I became ill. (That happens when you’re sleeping 22 out of every 24 hours! Luckily I’m now down to 14-16 hours of sleep a day. *eye roll*) I’ve been berating myself for not getting better faster, for “starting back at square one” with everything, including my weight loss. But constantly going over the bad things in my mind isn’t helping anything. The sleep helps, but not mentally putting myself down the whole time I’m awake.

How can I change that? The only way to accomplish change is deliberately, one step at a time. So I’m revisiting my plan for this year, and yeah, starting back at zero. Where do I go from here? What can I nourish my soul with? What plans do I have to move toward a more positive mind and body?

And then begin with the first step.

But I’m sure the plan you’re most interested in is my writing plan for the year.

And I definitely have plans! Right now, because my brain is so scrambled, I’m working on plotting three books: the next Silver Foxes book, the next Archai Warriors book (Phoenix Falling), and most important of all, THE NEXT ASSASSINS BOOK!!!! Woot! Assassins will be back this year. I’m planning a minimum of three more books in that series, to be released in 2023 and 2024. Each book will feature a member of Nix’s team, completing the arc from their dangerous past. But I’ll also be including threads from each of the Agozi brothers. We’re not leaving our boys behind! So get ready for a wild ride coming later this year. 😊

I’ll have more specifics starting in March, so keep an eye out. In the meantime, happy reading!

NARRATOR REVEAL!

I'm excited to announce the narrators for the upcoming

GRIFFIN UNDONE audiobook!

My first paranormal romance is…wait for it…NOW LIVE FOR PREORDER! And it is narrated in duet by Stella Hunter and J. F. Harding!

These two sound amazing! I can't wait for you all to hear the full thing, but in the meantime, you can check out an extended teaser on my Facebook page to whet your appetite. The audiobook will release simultaneously with the ebook on November 29, but you can preorder now at the links below!

I hope you're as excited for this one as I am. What do you think of the sneak peek?

She’s the perfect prey. The perfect instrument for my revenge.

And the only crack in my centuries-old armor.

Arik

For nine hundred years I have roamed the earth, a griffin shifter without a clan, an Archai warrior unable to fight the one enemy that matters: my parents’ killer. The only thing I care about? Vengeance. And I’m about to start a war to get it.

Nothing will stand in my way—except a red-haired female whose power could change everything. She’s the weapon I need to devastate the enemy, but in order to use her, I have to keep her alive, on my side…

And away from my heart.

Kat

All my life, I've never really belonged. Adrift, with nothing to tether me in place. Until one night at work when I lock gazes with a pair of smoldering silver eyes that steal my breath, and it feels like finally being seen for the first time. But in the next second he's gone. That same night the silver-eyed man saves me when a monster attacks, but not before the monster’s bite unleashes a deadly power I never knew crouched deep within me.

Now I’m no longer human—and no longer safe.

Except with Arik. He’ll teach me control, train me to fight. But his secrets could kill me as easily as the power I struggle to wield. In the end, I’m forced to choose: fight in a war I don’t understand, or escape the male who wants to use me. War might take my body, but even if we win, Arik could tear apart my soul.

This epic new paranormal romance series features a shifter species of mythological creatures, the basis for all human myth—and they bite.

TAKE ME is NOW AVAILABLE in audio!

My spicy, suspenseful m/f/m romance is narrated in duet by Jason Clarke, Stella Hunter, and Connor Crais! They bring Gabe, Sam, and Peyton to vibrant life. Early listeners are loving it, and I can't wait for you to hear it.

Keep an eye out for ASSASSIN’S PREY, coming soon.

I knew the minute I saw him that Levi Agozi was too perfect to be real. I didn't care. He came to me, asked for me, and, dazzled by his dark good looks and the bad-boy aura surrounding him, I gave in. Willingly.

My father is set to become the next governor of Georgia, and he'll use me to get there if he has to. He'll hand me over, virginity and all, to the man with the biggest bank account and political pull.

I wanted something more.

I wanted Levi. And I had him—until I woke up, disoriented and confused, at his mercy. He’s a bad boy, all right. A sexy, deadly assassin. And I'm the pawn torn between him and my father, two powerful men intent on destroying each other.

I might not understand their war, but I do understand one thing: no matter who wins, I lose.

“I inhaled this sexy, gritty, thrilling new series and I can’t wait for more!” — Lara Adrian, NYT Best-selling Author
