Well, it’s Friday and several amazing things came together for my family. I can’t give all the details, but let’s just say we have a lot to be thankful for this Christmas season: Health, Love, Family, Friends, new adventures and breakthroughs for my son. Amazing breakthroughs. As some of you know he’s autistic. Over the past week or so he’s done wonderful things, interracted in ways we’d never dreamed or hoped and continued to do so.

Thank you for all the amazing emails, IM’s, and tweets over the past few months. They have helped far more than you can imagine.

Writing-wise, things are coming together. I’ve had two releases this week and both were so much fun to write! One involves Old Man Winter himself, Jack Frost and the other involves an apartment complex that causes serendipity (A fortunate accident) in love to occur. Click on the image to get to the place to buy. So without further ado:

Remember, with the gingersnaps, every one you purchase automatically puts you in the 12 Days of Christmas Contest with Changeling Press. Free ebooks for a year! All of Changeling’s new releases per week. Not a bad deal. *WEG*

So how did Winter Break come about? My editor chatted with me in the summer and said she wanted me to write a Del Fantasma. I’d loved the line and really wanted to get my hooks in and try out the paranormal bar in Cali. They didn’t have a seasonal release, so I asked if I could write one for Christmas.

She was enthusiastic so now I had to find a drink name. I knew it would involve Jack Frost and that he’d be tired of dealing with whining from people about the winter…so then I found one. Winter Break. In my research there were several variations on the drink. Most of them involved a mixture of flavors that destroyed the palate or were too much like other tropical inspired drinks (like a tequila sunrise).

I found this one and gave it a try. The peach and banana create a flavor combination like Runts Candies. The Southern Comfort gives a nice little bit of heat in the back of your throat. All in all, it was a nice flavor and I enjoyed writing the book far more than I’d ever thought possible.

Layer in a shot glass or slammer with ice and enjoy!

Writing-wise…I know a lot of you are post-NaNoWriMo. I chatted over at the League of Amazing Writers on what to do now…

Have a great weekend! I’ll be posting again starting Monday. See you then!

Look at this fun and festive cover by the wonderful Renee George! Gingersnaps, a Changeling Press multi-author series, will release in the next couple of weeks! I hope you all have a great rest of the week. *WEG*

Welcome to Serendipity Estates, where accidental meetings, a little magic, and a bit of hot lust are a recipe for love ever after. We hope you enjoy your stay.

In an apartment complex where fortunate accidents in love occur, Donna and Jack will have a Christmas present mix-up that shows a little bit of their kinky side.

First of all, did you know that 70 Days of Sweat have started? I’m already doing well. *WEG* I’ll post my updates later today.

Next, some REALLY exciting news…BURN OUT has been contracted by Liquid Silver Books for their Worth Every Risk Romantic Suspense anthology. Wooo, that’s a mouthful! I’m super excited! It’s for their sterling line which means a buildup to an intense sexual relationship. Highly sensual tension.

The story takes place in a fictional town called Bristo, Alaska. I set it about two hours west of Anchorage. I’ll tell you more as we go! How exciting. *WEG*.

It’s release week! Masqued Tails is NOW AVAILABLE at Changeling Press!!!

Official Blurbage:

Trapped!

Magickal null Alaya Bellemore is stuck in a mansion where murder-mystery games become a little too real, midnight encounters with a certain shape-shifting fox becomes the norm, and even the walls and doors are alive.

Shad’s been trapped for far longer than he’d care to remember. When the luscious Alaya walks into his life he finds hope beginning to burn in his heart and soul. And when their passion explodes in an inferno scorching enough to temper their resolve, Shad finds there’s another way to give life to hope.

Can Shad help Alaya escape the clutches of an eclectic collector before she becomes part of his living museum?

For a delicious excerpt, check out the one HERE and the one HERE.

*hugs* I’m super nervous and excited!!

The wonderfully patient Sahara Kelly finished my Masqued Tails Cover. Isn’t he delicious? I say patient b/c I did a poor job explaining what I wanted with this one. I think she did a marvelous job despite my scatterbrained words, don’t you?

Thank you Sahara.

The ever-talented Lexxie Couper has, again, created a gorgeous book trailer. I’m in awe.

SPACEPORT BOUNTY: AVAILABLE NOW AT CHANGELING PRESS.

Let me introduce you to Maria…

So, what do you think?

Big, Blooming and Wild! Texan Bound will release from Changeling Press in two weeks! I’m so excited! So, in honor of that day, and because I love this fun romp of a story, I’m going to give you guys a JUICY excerpt. You know the drill. Adults only, graphic language, so please click for more if you want to read the excerpt.

The aliens have come… to Texas!

Hot-blooded and horny Maria is stuck in a rut. Pain in the ass exes and crazy fathers aside, she’s caught herself in quite the predicament. Nothing that a little silk, a lot of sex, and a good spanking won’t fix. Hopefully her heart is up to the task, because her libido sure is!

When the feisty Texican offers sex to his competition, Cody sees red. Since his heat or pollen began, his hormones have been screaming for the full bodied woman’s loving. Well, if the transplanted Pecan Tree has his way, she’ll be tied up, tasted, and in his bed for the rest of their lives.

Fifteen years should have blurred the edges of her memory, but for Kristiana, there is no relief. A love bite by a vampire has left her enhanced and pissed off. So what does a woman do when her old lover returns and wants to pick up where he left off?

You play to win, of course. As only a woman can.

Available Now at Aspen Mountain Press

Joyfully Reviewed has reviewed Bound Eternally and Spaceport: Bounty!

Jambrea had this to say about Bound Eternally:

Bound Eternally is the third installment of the Bound series and it is action-packed.  Not only did Dawn Montgomery give me all the hot sex I could want, she also gave me the action I crave.  The build up from the first two books exploded with this third story.  I’m not sure if there will be a forth book, but I’ll be looking out for it because Ms. Montgomery sure knows how to spin a tale and leave me wanting for more.

Read the entire post here.

Jambrea reviewed Spaceport: Bounty as well:

Bounty is a sexy romp with a Johnny Mnemonic feel to it.  I love a book with action and Dawn Montgomery brings it on with a sexy bounty hunter.  A strong female lead is always good for me and Ms. Montgomery knows how to write a strong woman.  Poor Mack, all he wanted to do was his job and he gets the shaft because of a cover up!  Mack leads Alexis on a great chase and the two are wonderful together.  I really enjoyed the feel of this story from the action both in and out of bed.

Jambrea is fabulous!

Shadow Lies, a plain brown wrapper

Excerpt:
“Am I going to be playing with myself, Alexander?”  She ran a palm down her tight tank top, molding her breast in her hand, squeezing playfully.

He blinked slowly.   She could taste his lust in the air.  Damn him for making her wait.    He undid his cuffs with enough impatience to ease her frustration.  His fingers made quick work of the line of buttons running down his chest, and before she could blink, his shirt was on the floor.

She ran an appreciative gaze down his muscled chest.  The tank he wore molded to his skin, showing her all the right ridges and curves.  Damn.  Her memories did him no justice.
