August is turning out to be a busy month for me. Between preparing for vacation, looking into a new business venture and preparing to go back to work at my ‘day job’ I’m innundated with work. Add to that 3 book releases and my head is spinning. My last release with Loose ID was back in November 2008 when Sophie’s Secret hit the website with a bang. 8 months is a long time to wait for another release, but I managed and now it’s here…YAY!!!

The first reviews for Best of Intentions are in and their wonderful.

Michelle Cary does a wonderful job of drawing the reader into the story of Devin and Tess. Best of Intentions is well written and an inspiration to those that have loved and lost someone to a career, only to find that special someone again.

Ms. Cary used a deft hand in keeping a good balance between all three story elements—romance, paranormal, and suspense—making Best of Intentions a splendid read from start to finish.

Life for me has been more than busy in the past few weeks. Update and writing had been done in fits and spurts and for that I apologize. But here’s what’s going on in my world.

I’ve retitled my sequel to Ransomed Heart from The Price of Love to Foolish Heart. The story itself is coming along very slowly. I’d say I’m about 1/4 of the way through it, and with my crazy life, it may take some time to finish. Sorry about that to you fans of Ransomed Heart. However I promise I will finish the sequel.

New Releases:

Ransomed Heart is available now in print from amazon.com, barns&noble.com and borders.com.

Best of Intentions is available now in electronic format from my publisher The Wild Rose Press. If I have my dates correct the print version of Best of Intentions should be available the end of February. I say that with some hesitation since Ransomed Heart’s original release date was April 2009 and it’s already out. You just never know when dates will be changed.

June 2009 I will have my first release with Amber Quill Press. It’s a joint project with author Amanda Young entitled Don’t Look Back and is a romantic suspense story with erotic elements.

Then in July/August 2009 my second release with Amber Quill will be Northern Lights. NL, as I’ve called it for the last four years, is a story about a woman overcoming fear and facing her past while trying to hold onto her future. It’s an usual story that’s filled with turmoil, suspense and lots of romance, but little actual sex. I’m extremely proud of this story and I’m keeping my fingers crossed that it does well.

Works in Progress

Like I said before I’m working on the sequel to Ransomed Heart, entitled Foolish Heart. Plus I’m sketching out a third story for the Ransomed Heart series, but it’s in the preliminary stages.

Sweet Surrender is a story I’ve been working on with the intentions of subbing it to my editor at Loose Id. It’s an erotic romance novella that mixed mystery/suspense with the world of submissives and bondage. If I ever mange to find time to finish it, I think it will be a great story.

Well, folks, that’s all for now. I hope to update more often so if you have questions, comments or opinions you’d like to share please feel free.

Thanks,

Michelle

I’m happy to share with you all some great news. Amber Quill Press has recently offered a contract on a romantic suspense story I wrote jointly with author Amanda Young. I’m thrilled to have had the opportunity to work with Amanda on this great story. Stay tuned for more details on cover art and a release date.

I thoroughly enjoyed this story and would highly recommend it to all readers. This one is a definite keeper in my library!

Vanessa Beaumont is desperate to keep her beloved thoroughbred Ransom out of her ex-husbands clutches.
Fleeing the only life she’s ever known, she heads east toward her friend’s house nestled in the Pennsylvania
mountains. When a summer storm and an accident with a deer conspire against her, Vanessa finds herself lost, with no transportation, and staring in the face of an entirely new set of problems, mainly her attraction to her rescuer, Riley.

Five years after his ex-fiancée walked out on him, Riley Whitaker has come to accept his life as a bachelor. His position as town sheriff keeps him busy helping others and his mind off the pain still etched in his heart. Falling for Vanessa wasn’t part of the bargain, but as much as he tries to fight the attraction between them, he can’t deny his passion for her. With each passing day, their relationship grows, and when Vanessa’s vindictive ex-husband discovers her whereabouts, placing her in danger, Riley knows he’ll put his own life on the line to protect the woman he loves.
