On to the teaser!!!





The Dragon and the Rose (Celestra Forever After #2) (Skyla with her man)“We’re not done,” he says sweetly as he comes after me in the living room. “You bet we’re not done.” “I’m sorry,” he pleads. I pause in front of Ellis and Liam. “I’m sorry?” I cry out while tossing my hands in the air. “That’s the best you’ve got?”“There’s more.”“Well, you better start spewing words, high and fast, like Old Faithful because until you geyser up the truth, I’m absolutely done with this sh*t!”

*ooh! Someone is really, really ticked! Can't wait to share! Have a great and happy week! 

Short and sweet today!

Hope you all had a fab Thanksgiving! I'm still stuffed! And sadly my credit card is a bit anemic from all the aftermath that followed. I may have hit a few sales pretty hard. *waves at my husband* Sorry!

Book news! The Dragon and the Rose is releasing in just a couple weeks! I'm shooting for the end of the second third-ish week, so stay tuned for a hard date. I'll give it soon! 

On to the teaser!




The Dragon and the Rose (Celestra Forever After #2) (Skyla with her man, wrestling with their powers)
“Okay, get off, you win.” I turn my head toward the ocean and watch as the whitewash inches toward us.“Make me.” He hooks his gaze into mine until I’m caught in the vortex of those night sirens of his. “Let’s do this, Skyla.” His jaw tightens. “You want this. I can feel it.”“Stop!” My voice reverberates into the darkness. “I said get off.”“It’s going to be a long night because I’m not going anywhere.” There isn’t the slightest hint of sweetness in his voice.

*Have a great week! If I get a firm release date I will shout it from the cyber mountain top!

The Dragon and the Rose (Celestra Forever After #2) (Skyla with her man)     
“Does that feel good?” His eyes shine like the sun piercing through crystal as that devilish grin I love so much blooms on his lips.      “It feels like someone knows what he’s doing.” I sink his head down over my belly again and groan into the warm pool of his mouth. He rumbles a dull laugh over my stomach, rattling his elation straight to my bones as his heated kisses track to my hip then steadily lower.



(The bracelet Marshall designed for Skyla!)

*Have a Happy Thanksgiving!!! Eat lots of pie!

Book news! The Dragon and the Rose is officially out of my hands! Yay! *throws confetti* *passes out* I'm hoping to have it back in a week or so and wrapped up with a neat shiny red bow for you all by Christmas. Buckle your seat belts! You're in for a bumpy ride.

Rock Candy Kisses! I'm nearing the end and I should have that sent out to the betas soon after they give me back The Dragon and the Rose. I'll start teasers next week. I'm really in love with Annie's story. As much as she's a sweetie, her bad boy BF Blake really is, too. Can't wait to share that one with you.

On to the teaser! 




The Dragon and the Rose (Celestra Forever After #2) * (Skyla talking to Laken)     “Bitchy?” Laken’s eyes enliven with fire. “I think that’s what you need in your life, Skyla. A real bitch who doesn’t back down or agree with you on every little thing. Maybe your trouble is that you have too many yes people—people who simply don’t care to push you. And no, that wasn’t a put down on sweet, ditzy Brielle. I couldn’t care less that she thinks I’m trying to usurp her BFF status.” She blinks a dry smile. “What you need is a realfriend. Someone who’ll wake you up and make you take action when it’s necessary. I’m a doer not a dreamer. You’re damn right that those tunnels are going to get shut down even if I have to do it myself.” She spins to leave. I go to yank her back by the jacket and accidently grasp a handful of hair instead.     “Ow!” she yelps.     Good God, Laken looks as if she’s going to kick some Celestra ass—mine to be exact.  Her eyes widen. “Well look who grew a pair?”



*Enjoy your week!

Christmas Lites IV: I've included a brand new short story: THE SECRET HOURS (Contemporary romance)

Love this one!! Christmas Lites IV is coming! I've participated the last few years and all proceeds go to a charity that helps fight domestic violence against women. I have a short story (chapter one) of a brand new story The Secret Hours. The anthology has something for everyone with just about every genre and every story is centered in some way around Christmas. Oh joy!! This will be available in just a few weeks and I'll update with all the appropriate links! It's such a cute cover. This will be available in paperback as well! 


I can't wait to share them all with you! 

It's Tuesday! I hope your week is off to a great start! I had a blast at the San Diego Author Event this last Saturday. A HUGE thank you to all who came out. It was so much fun chatting with everyone. It's official readers, bloggers, and authors are the nicest people on the planet. Right? Right! 

Strange but true news! Amazon is sending a film crew to my (very messy) house today! *cries a little* But seriously I'm SUPER excited to have the opportunity to tape a "meet the author" segment. I'll let you know when it goes live on KDP's YouTube channel. Here's hoping I can string a few sentences together. I've busied myself by cleaning and scrubbing, bleaching and hiding everything I own. The house actually looks like a bald version of itself—like we've been robbed by the cleaning fairy. But I digress. I bought a box of chocolate to share with the crew so already I think we're off to a great start. I'll let you know how it goes. I'll try to document the entire event on instagram. I'm sure the people from Amazon will love me taking tiny little breaks every few minutes. But, hey, it will make things interesting right? Taping is 2 pm to 6 pacific. Instagram link. (authorAddisonMoore)

The Dragon and the Rose news! Guess what? It's all done. I'm on my final read through (which I swear I'm finishing Thursday). Then it goes to my betas and my editor. It usually takes a few weeks from that point. This books is rather lengthy. I totally blame Skyla for that. I hope that's a good thing. More time on the island, right? 

On to the teasers!

  


The Dragon and the Rose (Celestra Forever After #2) * (Skyla talking to Emily at the Landon dinner table)Skyla gives an indignant huff. “You better watch it Em”—she snips playfully—“there are some things that belong to me that I will never share—my husband happens to be one of them.”Emily’s face hardens to flint. Her features bleed dry as she gives that eerie glassy expression that only Emily Morgan can.“People are the most slippery when you’re trying to keep them from the rest of the world. Hold on a little tighter, Skyla, and see where he ends up.”The room falls silent. Ethan leaves the table.  Skyla leans forward, clutching at her dinner knife as if she’s about to put it to use.“He’ll end up with me, Em.” She twirls the blade in her hand like a baton. “Just try to tell me anything different.”The baby starts to wail. No one says a word.   

It's Tuesday! I hope you all had a safe and happy Halloween! It was a blast but I'm so ready for all things Christmas! *and turkey, too. ;)*

It's the last week that the Someone to Love series paperbacks are half off! There is still plenty of time to order before the holidays. But hurry! Sale ends November 6th! 



Book news! The Dragon and the Rose is on track to hit my editor's desk by this weekend! We are cruising along! The book itself is longer than Celestra Forever After. I hope you're looking forward to a nice long adventure back on the island!

On to the teaser! (click the cover to add to Goodreads!)




The Dragon and the Rose (Celestra Forever After 2)

(Skyla talking to Giselle on Christmas Eve at the Olivers)


     I crane my neck and gasp. A row of three tiny aqua bags line the underbelly of the tree where the nativity would sit at the Landon house—the word Tiffany’s emblazoned proudly on the front.      “Dear God up in heaven! Yes, please,” I whisper back.     Crap. I can feel myself getting hot over the pricey little packages.      “Who do you think they’re from?” I ask as covert as possible.     “Santa.” Her shoulders ride to her ears with excitement. “And my mom. Santa is very busy this time of year. He dropped some presents off early so she could help wrap them.” She wrinkles her nose and giggles. “Isn’t that the greatest? Santa has already been to my house!”     Wow. Emerson Kragger would probably beg me to stick a thousand little pine needles in her eyes if she knew how adorably innocent Giselle is being while running around with her hardcore Goth body. Not that Giselle is hardcore, and she’s certainly not Goth. I’d roll my eyes at Emma for keeping up the Santa farce, but, in all fairness, Giselle never had that bit of Christmas magic when she was little.
Enjoy the week! :)

Cheers! It's Tuesday! That means we've survived Monday, and that's always a good thing. 

I'm keeping it short and sweet today!

Book news: The Dragon and the Rose should be to my editor by next week! The book is incredibly looong. Hope you'll find that a good thing!

On to the teaser!




The Dragon and the Rose (Celestra Forever After #2) (Giselle speaking with Skyla)
"Ellis’s body needs me to help it get relief. This is a terribly frustrating situation for him. I’m causing him a lot of pain. I’ve turned his balls blue, Skyla! He might lose them if I keep up this frigid nonsense. And if we don’t practice, we’ll never have cute little Harrison’s running around one day.”“You’re quoting him, aren’t you?” I doubt Giselle even knows what the word frigid means. I smell a stoner at the bottom of this blue-balled guilt trip.
Have a great rest of the week!

It's Tuesday! Hope you're having a good one! The Romance Riot book signing in NYC was awesome! I met the nicest readers, bloggers, writers that you can imagine. A good time was had by all.

But, if you love Celestra, you will not want to miss it!

Major spoilers ahead! If you're not up on your Celestra or Counts you may want to skip! 
The Dragon and the Rose (Celestra Forever After #2) * (Chloe speaking to Skyla and Laken)
“Wes said he would give me the world. He can’t wait to start a family with me. Who knew Wesley, your Wesley, Laken, is the man I’m destined to be with forever.”Laken’s face ashens to match the fog.“Ignore her. She's a master bullshitter. Chloe wishes it were the truth.” I try to pull Laken’s hand toward me but she carefully retracts. “She’s just trying to get a rise out of you.” I glance up for that damn useless bird. “Holden?” I shout toward the sky.Laken clears her throat. “Coop is calling me. I’d better go.”Chloe sinks her hooks into Laken, pinning her wrists to the table. “Is it hard to love two men in secret? You can tell us, you’re among friends. Skyla here understands, hell, she loves three men. And I’m beginning to feel the same, with your Wes and my Gage. Maybe Coop and Wes can work something out and we can do a little swap now and again?” Laken extracts her hand and slaps Chloe across the face with a loud, crisp smack.“Wow, Laken, that was the best birthday gift you could have given me.” I say stunned by the sheer force evoked in her effort. I bet she enlisted that underutilized Count strength of hers. Who knew that my two best friends would both turn out to be Counts? And my worst enemy is literally blood—one of my own, a Celestra.
Enjoy the week!

Hello all! It's Romance Riot week!!!! It's going to be a whirlwind for me in New York City—jam-packed full of fun and perhaps a few Broadway shows? I'll be at Romance Riot this Saturday and if you have tickets, please stop by my table. I would love to see you!

Book news! A pre-order is up for Rock Candy Kisses (3:AM Kisses 5) over at iBooks! (Click on the cover!) The release date is set for February 14th, 2015, but should it publish sooner (and there is a slight chance) your book will simply ship earlier than expected. I may ad pre-orders to other sites soon!




Book news! The Dragon and the Rose is crawling to a conclusion. This is a looong book. It will take some time to edit. In all reality an end of November release would be heroic but most likely it might even venture into December. But yay! it's almost here!!! Things just got a whole lot crazier on the island and something huge happens that changes the face of the storyline forever. I'm hoping you'll embrace the change. :) 

On to the teaser! 





The Dragon and the Rose (Celestra Forever After #2) * (Skyla with Marshall)
I touch my finger to his lips and he presses into it. “What’s the vision?”“I won’t give it.” Marshall begins to walk into the woods, his body evaporating into the fog as if they’ve been one all along. “Know this, you are already walking through a new fire Ms. Messenger.” Marshall turns and all that’s left of him are those strange glowing eyes. “At the end of this long night, it will be me by your side to comfort you. We are family, Skyla.”
Have a great rest of the week! ~
