Slow Burn is live!
Woohoo. It’s available here.
I’m calmer than I was when Only Yours released. Not sure if that’s good or not. Anyway, I would like to thank Jambrea for being on the other end of the phone line when I managed to get carried away on the train. Twice! lol. That will make a little more sense if you read the story. 
Happy new release day to me. 
Never Say Never–free read
My short story, Never Say Never, is included in Dreamspinner Press’ August newsletter.
You can read it here.
Slow Burn excerpt
Coyote Home is here. Arwhooo!
“I do not sound like that.”
Oops. Wrong shifter. You won’t hold that against me, will you, hot stuff?
“Hands off my man!”
*blushes* Sorry, Rowan. Uh…why don’t I just step back and let you guys speak for yourselves.
“I think that’s a great idea.”
“The beautiful Rhian was nice enough to tell our story. You can check out the details below .”
Coming home was never going to be easy for Rowan Wilder, but after six years she didn’t think it would be this hard. First she can’t control her inner coyote, then she has to deal with her mate and the madman out to get them both. Determined to take her rightful place in the pack, Rowan must face each hurdle and succeed. To fail could mean losing her life.
Quinn MacClellan is more than ready for the return of his mate and he’ll do anything to keep her safe and by his side. He couldn’t protect her years ago, but things are different now and he won’t let anything or anyone separate them again. Together they’ll confront all obstacles and ensure the future they both deserve.

“Congratulations, Ms. Patrick! It’s a Nap-Size Dream.”
J.R. wiped the happy tears from her eyes. “Is he healthy? Does he have all the pages and everything?
“Yes, J.R.” Dreamspinner smiled indulgently. “And he’s in .lit, .prc and .pdf. Here you go.”
She sniffled as she took the files. “Thanks. Uh…could you excuse me a sec. I have to—”
“I know. Go ahead.”
“SQUEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!”
So as you might be able to tell from the above, it’s release day for Only Yours!!
I’ve been using the word “excited” so much lately but I can’t help myself. I am excited and have been for months. To give you a little background on my road to publication, it started with a dream. Cliché, I know, but the truth.
I had a dream about these two guys and when I woke up, I IMed Jambrea about my dream and told her it sounded like a story. And she said, “So, write it!” I laughed her off, of course but a few weeks later, I opened MS Word and jokingly named the file “Why Not,” never once imagining I would get very far.
With the encouragement and constant support of Jambrea Jo Jones and Mari Carr, I finished my story. Then it went out to some of the other ladies at International Heat at the time: Jayne Rylon, Jess Dee, Rhian Cahill, Vivian Arend, Theresa Pillow and Valerie Tibbs.
Jayne critiqued it within an inch of its life.
Jess managed to pull water from stone. And that’s all I’m saying about that. Hehe
The other ladies gave me invaluable feedback. It really did take a village. IH ladies so rock!
I subbed to a few pubs and got rejected but I didn’t give up.
I read. A lot! And I go through phases where I read a lot of contemporary or paranormal or menage, etc. I was going through a phase (and still am) where all I was reading was m/m. I was buying from small presses that pubbed all types of romance so I went through their m/m selection pretty quickly. So, I hit ARe and started searching for books by genre so I would have all the m/m at my fingertips. I found myself buying (and loving) a lot of stories from Dreamspinner and I thought I better check out their submission guidelines to see if my story was long enough. It was! The rest is squeeing history—and present. hehe
And that’s my story. But Dre and Nate’s story, which I hope is much more interesting, is available here
*SQUEEEEEEEEE*
