To celebrate the festive season, I am very excited to announce, that my new Holiday Shifter Romance A BEAR FOR CHRISTMAS is released today worldwide!

Wild... Passionate... Grizzly...
What do you want for Christmas?

Unlucky-in-love Megan is escaping her troubled past, when she travels to an exclusive ski resort in Vermont to spend the holidays. All she wants to do is relax, unwind, and forget all about men.

But that all changes when the handsome and grizzly Mason walks into her life... and completely turns it upside down.
Megan needs a hero, so could Mason be the one to save her?
One thing is certain, he is not like other men... Mason is wild, untamed... and has a wickedly sexy secret.

This Christmas, Megan is going to receive a present she never could have prepared for, she is about to be claimed by a seriously hot alpha bear!

A Bear For Christmas is a festive, feel good love story, full of magic and cheer.

This book is a standalone, with no cheating, no cliffhangers, and a guaranteed happily ever after ending!

For December only it also includes my paranormal romance BLACK MAGIC as a special gift to you! Merry Christmas! Love Kassandra x

As I said in my recent post 5 Things That Inspire Me, art has always been something that has enhanced my creativity.

Fetish by Jack Vettriano (2016)

When I write, I like to be able to imagine things so intricately that sometimes having a visual aid can really move along the experience. This is exactly one of the reasons why I absolutely LOVE Pinterest - I think it is a fantastic tool for writers to create mood boards for each different project they are working on. (I'll blog about that another time :) don't worry!)

But in the meantime, art.

It is a topic that has divided many over the years, and has caused some of the most hotly anticipated auctions and private sales in history. In what other market could a single painting sell for over $110 Million!?

All art is subjective, much like writing itself, but when it comes to creating my red, hot romances, I love nothing more than scanning through the works of Jack Vettriano. For a man who didn't begin painting until the 1970's as a hobby, he sure knows how to capture the intimacy, urgency and passion behind the art of love, lust and seduction.

Game On by Jack Vettriano (2006) from the Love, Surrender & Devotion Collection

His portrayals beautifully capture one of the most private and unique of human experiences, and for that I think his works deserve to be shared far and wide.

If any of you aren't familiar with this master and his incredible paintings, then look him up now!
Jack Vettriano is an extraordinary talent, one that will surely inspire other artists and writers for generations to come.

  “Painting is poetry that is seen rather than felt, and poetry is painting that is felt rather than seen.”
― Leonardo da Vinci

“Creativity takes courage. ”
― Henri Matisse

I have been working with a talented designer over the past few weeks, with a vision to expand my author brand. It had been really exciting, especially as we have decided to redesign some of my older covers.

First up was LEARNING THE HARD WAY - of which you can see an exclusive peak of here...


I am so excited to be sassing everything up and going more in the direction that I always intended to go in :)

LEARNING THE HARD WAY is Outrageous, Obscene, and Off Limits!

You are not going to want to miss the devilishly naughty Mr. Rodgers and his teaching methods... ;)

I hope all you bad girls have a great weekend, and don't forget to misbehave!

Since I began writing full time, I am often asked how I keep my imagination alive to create on a daily basis.

I don't have a definitive answer to this question, however I do know what I love, what I enjoy, and what I like absorbing, so I decided that I would create a post to explain some of the things that I use to keep me feeling inspired.

1. Books.
This may seem like an obvious one when you consider that I am a writer, but when I say books... I mean BOOKS. Serious books. Books that you would have run away from when you were younger. The kind of book a teacher would have liked you to read. The kind of book that is basically homework.
At the moment I am really enjoying marketing and brand building books, which is something I never thought I would hear myself say... But here we are... :P

2. Love
Being a romance writer I suppose that this isn't too surprising either? However, you would be surprised at how many people I speak to who although they write in the genre, they don't have a lot of love for love itself. Personally, I am the complete opposite. Love inspires me daily. And not just romance, all kinds of love. To quote one of my favorite Disney movies... "The people you love will change you..." - I believe that they will also inspire you in the best possible ways <3

3. The Great Outdoors
There is nothing more liberating and refreshing that taking a break from the computer screen and heading outside. I know not all of us are blessed with the beautiful countryside on our doorstep (myself included) but there really is no excuse. Even in the center of London there are parks aplenty and it would be a shame not to immerse yourself in some natural beauty every once in a while. I find it really helps clear the head and brings me back to feeling fully focused.

Gian Lorenzo Bernini - The Abduction of Proserpine (1622-1625)

4. Art
I'm a big art lover. From the renaissance to now, I can't get enough of visual wonder. I have so much respect and admiration for artists, of how they can create something from nothing and turn it into such beauty. I'm particularly fond of marble sculptures, and the likes of Gian Lorenzo Bernini - the amount of emotion and drama he brought to his creations are like nothing I have ever seen. I particularly love his sculpture of The Abduction of Proserpine - a favorite Greek Myth of mine.

5. Memory
Being a writer, I have a pretty good memory. I think it's part of a writer's job to pay extra attention to the world around them, to collect and store that information, and to turn it into something special. I feel things deeply and I am always grateful for experience. This is why I believe memory is truly one of the most inspiring things that we can have. It is a link to our past, to what has made us who we are, and it is something that we can always call upon to spark our creative fires.

There are so many things in this world that are inspiring, and I will share 5 more things that inspire me very soon. What are yours? I'd love to know :) Leave me comments below...

Okay, so prepare yourself for one of my naughtiest romances yet!

Three powerful billionaire bosses... one bad, bad girl...

Working late is never going to be the same again!


Embezzlement had never been in the plan when Amanda first took a job at Jackson, Clark & Cox. But after mixing with the wrong people, suddenly she is pulled into a life of crime and lust. She was always such a good girl, but now she's broken the law... and she's been caught out by her THREE BAD BOSSES.

However, they don't want to call the police... they have very different ideas of how she can redeem herself and make it up to them, but it may mean pulling a few all-nighters...

Three powerful men... One bad, bad girl...

Throw them together and sparks will fly as they all compete for her heart... and body!

Available worldwide now!
