Cover Reveal for Blood Ties
I'm so excited about my upcoming book, Blood Ties! This will be the prequel AND sequel to Blood Drive. I'm so glad to hear from readers that they want more of Kate and Sam's story. This was in the works before Blood Drive was published.
In Blood Ties, you'll head back in time to fall in love with Tom and Elizabeth. Their unexpected romance is full of ups and downs, and if you've read Blood Drive then you know what's in store for Tom. But don't worry, there's still a chance of a happy ending for this gorgeous blonde-haired and blue-eyed man.
Look for Blood Ties in September 2014.
A big thank you to Carey Abbott at Safari Heat Book Tours and Author Services for designing this book cover! Visit her website to find more awesome covers and everything else an author might need!

Title Reveal for the Prequel/Sequel to Blood Drive
I started working on the prequel/sequel to Blood Drive while in the middle of writing Blood Drive. I wanted to make sure the story I had in mind would be appropriately alluded to, and the stage would be properly set for the next book.
For months I've tried to figure out what to call the next book, and now I have finally decided on a title. The prequel/sequel to Blood Drive will begin in December 1994, and catch up to the present, taking you to what happens after the end of Blood Drive. The story focuses on Tom Adams, Kate's father. It will take you through his life, centering on how he became a D.R.A. agent and then ended up having a daughter with a witch.
The cover should be finished soon, but until then, here is the title for the book that will take you back in time, as well as tie up any loose ends with Sam and Kate's story:
Blood Ties
(Tentative release date of September 2014)

Sneak peek:
Sam poured the mixture back into the water container and cleaned up the mess he’d made. I didn’t want him to leave, because once he did, I wasn’t sure when I’d see him again. After tonight he wouldn’t need my help as a witch any longer. He gathered up the bag and headed straight for the door like he couldn’t to wait to get out of my apartment.“So thanks for doing this. I know Chris will be ecstatic to finally get back to normal.” “Is that the only reason you came over?” I asked him harshly as he reached for the door. Sam turned back around and looked confused at why I had sounded so bitchy. “What do you mean?” he asked hesitantly. “I mean, did you only come by just so I would help your friend, or … ?” I let the sentence drift off because I didn’t want to ask him and he say no. Sam put his bag on the floor and then reached and grabbed my arm pulling me against him.“Kate, you know I want to be with you so why are you pushing me away?” I bit my lip and thought it over. I hadn’t quite worked that out for myself. I had no clue where to even start to try and explain it to him. “I don’t know,” I finally said in an exhale. Sam leaned down and lightly kissed my lips just once. When I didn’t move or protest, he kissed me once more, then again, longer and more forceful each time. It felt so good and I lost my anger and confusion feeling his tongue enter my mouth, then hearing his moan after I responded by doing the same. It was nice having him hold me, and do something as innocent as just kiss me. I jumped when I felt a sudden painful sting on my tongue. Jerking away from Sam I covered my mouth as I tasted what I was pretty sure was my own damn blood. “Shit! I’m so sorry Kate,” Sam exclaimed. “I’ve gone too long without blood. I’ve been distracted and forgot to get some from work. Then my stupid body thinks that when it’s going to get screwed, it’s going to get to bite someone too. I’m sorry, I probably should have told you that the blood and sex go together before now.” So he had assumed our kiss was heading further than I had actually intended. Why had he kept something so important from me? “I think the mood’s passed,” I said as I crossed my arms over my chest. “Kate, please don’t do this,” he pleaded with me, but I’d heard enough for the night. “You should go,” I told him as my eyes started watering. “It’s too late to get blood from work,” he said. “Could you just give me a few drops from a finger stick?” “What?” I yelled. So he had come over here to not only get me to do a spell for his friend but also give him blood and throw in a side of sex. Nice. “I’m sorry but I’m going to have to drink from someone. I'm not going to be able to wait until I get to work in the morning,” he explained like it was somehow my responsibility. “Did you want to drink from me when we slept together?” I asked and knew when he looked away from me that he did. “Yes, but I held off the fangs most of the times-,” he started and I cut him off. “Were you going to ask me before you bit me, or did you think I wouldn’t notice?”
