Finally, after months of being stalled, I’ve nearly reached my goal with my erotic romance BDSM story entitled Sweet Surrender.

Check out my pretty new cover for my August release with Amber Quill Press

FOOLISH HEART
(sequel to Ransomed Heart)

It’s been a long road to get to this point. Hopefully, the rest of the story will move a little faster.

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

Michelle Cary pens a beautiful love story in Sophie’s Secret. I like the angst Ms. Cary created between the couple as Logan
wrestles with his love of Sophie against his friendship with her brother.
Sophie’s Secret proves that sometimes your true love is right in front of your
face, waiting patiently to unfold.

I couldn’t have asked for a better story. Sophie’s Secret is emotionally gripping and sensually satisfying. I enjoyed every single enticing word.

With only two charts left, tears burned her eyes and she whispered a prayer…
 
“Please let him still be here.” She opened the next chart only to have her fear increased when the name didn’t match. She let go of the chart, the metal clanged as it banged into the others already resting in a pile.
Closing her eyes, she held the last chart in her hands, afraid of what she’d find. Slowly she lifted the cover, opened her eyes and blew out a relieved breath.
Without, another word, she sat the chart on the desk and headed for bed four. Cupping her hand over her mouth, she stopped at the end of the bed and stared. Even after ten years, she would still recognize his handsome face behind the bruises. His dark brown locks were shorter than she remembered, but other than that, he seemed mostly the same.
“Tess?”
She whirled around to find Tori standing behind her with a worried look on her face. “Tess, what’s wrong?”
“He’s an old friend.”
Tori arched a brow. “Really? You never mentioned you knew somebody famous.”
Tess shrugged. “It never came up. Hey, if you don’t mind, I’d like to mind his care for this shift.”
Tori placed a hand on her shoulder. “Of course. He’s been fading in and out of consciousness. From what I’ve been told, he’s yet to be coherent enough to actually talk.” She turned to walk away then paused. “Is it okay for me to ask how you know him?”
Tess stared down at his bruised and battered face, a wealth of emotions swimming inside her head. “Devin and I were high school sweethearts.”

NORTHERN LIGHTS
Comming August 2009 to Amber Quill Press

Ten years after her world was shattered by rape, Brooke Hague has finally picked up the pieces of her life. She worked hard to put that horrible night behind her, until the man who hurt her is paroled. Now stalked by the man who raped her, Brooke’s life is in danger.

Crab fishing captain Nathan Lowery has suffered his fair share of tragedy over the years. He swears he’s given up on love, despite the feelings he has for the shy, petite red-head. Learning her life may be in danger, Nathan does the one thing he can to help protect her-he takes her with him to Alaska during king crab season.

Cooking for six men on a boat in the middle of the Bering sea presents more of a challenge than Brooke bargained for. It’s also the last place she expected to fall in love, but when the season ends and the stalker is still at large, Brooke’s fear for her own wellbeing is overshadowed by her need to save her new love’s life. She knows, in the end, if necessary, she’ll give her own life to save his.
