I KNOW THIS CAN AND IS LIKELY TO CHANGE ANYTIME, which is why I'm totally savoring the moment. Just please let me enjoy my fifteen seconds of victory, 'kay? =D
Like most writers (read: needy crybabies as my favorite author Mary Janice Davidson describes in her Goodreads blog post), I constantly check reviews and - as an indie author - Amazon rankings. In particular, I check rankings for Amazon US, UK, DE, and CA.
Sooo to cut the long story short, I started randomly checking rankings for the trilogy and imagine my SHOCK when I saw this. I mean, WOW.
  • Courted is #1
  • Caged is #3
  • Chased is #5
Thank you guys!  A HUGE THANK YOU. xoxoxoxoxoxo

I also did some research. Initially, I thought Amazon.de only caters to Germany. But apparently, some of its customers are also from countries like Austria, Liechtenstein, Switzerland, and Luxembourg. So to readers from any of those countries, THANK YOU! I can't say it enough. I'm over the moon about this!!!!

Now I can enjoy a good night's sleep. It's almost 11 pm here and I need to wake up around 4 or 5am. I'll be leaving for my family's mausoleum since it's the 1st death anniversary of my Angkong or paternal grandfather.

Anyway, good night / have a nice day everyone!

Warning: Love Moderately - My First Permanently Free eBook

2/25/2013

16 Comments

 
By the time I have this post live here in my blog, those who have subscribed to my newsletter should have #3 in their inboxes. You should check that out since it has my 2 EXCLUSIVE Valentines gifts for you guys.
  • A new chapter of A Royal Heartbreak
  • An excerpt of Warning: Love Moderately.

I am soooooo excited about my new free e-book. It's actually more a novella, at almost 20k words, BUT I do want you to know several things about it...
  1. It more or less has an HEA so you don't need to go crazy about cliffhanger endings.
  2. It will have a second (just that one) installment which will be out this March as well.
  3. It is a NEW ADULT erotic romance set in college.
  4. It is my first foray into the wonderfully dark world of BDSM. Well, okay it's more like BDSM-lite since my H/h just got legal at 21 y/o.
  5. It will be available in Smashwords and Amazon.

My sister - who is a whiz with online stuff - is formatting it already. If all goes according to plan, you can download it for free in Amazon by Friday - that would be the 1st of March. I really, really hope you guys would like it and IF you do, I'd appreciate a review. Well, okay, if you hate it, too, then you can of course review it still. We're all entitled to our own opinions. Just don't be too harsh, okay? haha.

Before I forget, here's the blurb .
As one of the heirs to the Christopoulos billions and his family’s political dynasty, 21-year-old Derek is used to living his life in the limelight. Add in his gorgeous looks and charm, and every girl has no problem seeing him as the hottest guy in uni---the very embodiment of a modern-day prince. Or so people mistakenly think.

Throughout his life, Derek has kept his darker desires leashed, waiting for that one girl who’d find pleasure in belonging to him, body and soul.

Jaike Hepburn’s unassuming looks hide a shameful past, one that forces her to run away from anything – anyone – that threatens her self-control. Derek is one such man, and the feelings he arouses in Jaike pushes her into the arms of his rival.

Jaike doesn’t trust herself with Derek, not when he is everything she desires...and fears.

But Derek believes differently. He knows it’s only a matter of time before the truth between them is laid bare.

She is his, and he is hers.

Aaaand here's the cover.

Now, mind you, this is  for the free short only. My co-author LM created it herself. If we had waited for a paid cover, we'd have to delay the release of the free short, which we totally didn't want to do. Expect a new cover for the 2nd (paid) installment. But anyway, I think this one is cool, too. It kinda sums up the story. :)

So anyway, come back once you've read the excerpts. I'd love to hear what you guys think!

Thanks again for the support!

I'm really, really blessed because of you guys.

...and get crazy eyes because of proofreading, I want to share a couple of photos I absolutely love about Japan or - more specifically - Tokyo street fashion. Some of these inspire the outfits I've used when describing the clothes that Violet - from Park and Violet  - wears. :)

Rainbow Brite - Japanese style.

Here's something a little more mainstream. :)
Sugoi kawaii ne?
If you have other similar photos, I'd love to check them out as well. :)
But...that's it for now.
Time to get back to work!
Ja!

Wrinkles No More!

I am so HAPPY!!!! There were so many things bugging me about A Royal Heartbreak - the sequel to The Werewolf Prince and I - so I couldn't really share too much details about it. But ---- I had this really cool epiphany-like idea around 6am (haven't actually slept yet since last night) and I couldn't stop writing. Just could not stop - I had to get all those ideas out before I forget them. And.....drum roll please...I finished it. Now it's all wrinkle-free!!!!

So now I can share some stuff about this book - just random things really.
1) There's a new guy in town and yup, he's after Misty.
2) More action, and not the behind-the-scenes kind that you got in TWPaI.
3) I almost made Domenico cry. Oh wait he did. Or not. We'll see. =P

With all that fixed, I'm finally off to bed. Night, everyone, and enjoy your weekend. Happy Chinese New Year again!

P.S. Almost forgot to share with you guys - My family and I watched MAMA last night. It was awesome! I really love Guillermo del Toro's work! Go watch it if you're into horror movies, too!

Yuuuuup!

It's my Chinese New Year gift to you, guys. I hope you like the little surprise at the end. Did you? Let me know!

If you are just about to subscribe, I'm afraid it's more than possible you won't get to receive the newsletter since I already have it out. However, you can still message me with the email address you've used to subscribe and I'll resend it!

And as mentioned in my newsletter, I'd love it if you guys took the time to like my Facebook author page - and if you get to have others do so, too, then that would be super awesome!

Happy Chinese New Year! I'd have typed it in Chinese but unfortunately I'm not using my iPad, and I have no idea how to get the Chinese language out on my laptop.

COVER REVEAL: HOW (NOT) TO BE SEDUCED BY BILLIONAIRES

2/6/2013

i AM SUPER EXCITED ABOUT THESE. Yup, you read that - there are three books in this series. I'm in my last chapters of rewrites for the third, and then it will go to the editor for proofreading and cleaning up and voila! We'll have them out in no time - pretty sure before V-Day! :) I hope you like them! Do let me know if you like them. :)

Picture
My name is Yanna Everleigh. I used to think that being an old-fashioned virgin would be enough to keep gorgeous, sexy billionaires away - well, at least the kind who didn't do love. But I was wrong. If anything, it simply made my billionaire want me even more.

His name is Constantijin Kastein. He blows hot and cold, arrogant and cynical one moment and then disarmingly sweet the next. He makes me forget all about waiting for true love and just go for mind-blowingly hot sex. But he's also Netherlands' #1 playboy, and I'm my own worst enemy. I must be on my guard.

Maybe if I play hard to get and pretend that my heart doesn't beat madly every time I see him - pretend that my body doesn't go weak when he's close - maybe he'll finally stop trying to seduce me.

Or not.

My name is Yanna Everleigh. I used to think playing hard to get would be enough to keep gorgeous, sexy billionaires away - well, at least the kind who didn't do love. But I was wrong. If anything, it just made my billionaire get even, leaving us both brokenhearted.

His name is Constantijin Kastein. He blows hot and cold, acting like he doesn't know the meaning of romance but then he sweeps me off my feet with the adorable little things he does. He makes me want to be his, even though he seems to want other women, too. But he's also Netherlands' #1 playboy and I'm the only virgin he hasn't been able to bed. I have to be sure he doesn't just see me as a challenge.

Maybe if I ask him to court me - maybe if I pretend other men are also courting me - pretend that I'm like him and I can want other men, too - maybe he'll finally stop trying to seduce me.

Or not.

My name is Yanna Everleigh. I used to think asking for a courtship would be enough to keep gorgeous, sexy billionaires away - well, at least the kind who didn't do love. But I was wrong. If anything, it only made my billionaire realize I can hurt him, too, and now we're apart.

His name is Constantijin Kastein. He blows hot and cold, wanting me by his side all the time but never hesitating to walk away when I get too close to his heart. He makes me want to laugh and cry at the same time, wondering if the next best thing to love should be good enough for me. But he's also Netherlands' #1 playboy and I'm that one woman he's asked to moved in with him. I need to show him he doesn't need a cage to keep me his.

Maybe if I tell him first that I love him - maybe if I pretend that I don't see the coldness in his eyes when we talk about that word - pretend that I don't feel him putting distance between us when I ask for something he's not yet ready to give - maybe he'll finally realize that he doesn't have to seduce a woman who loves him. He just has to love her back.

Or not.

I just posted this on my FB page but figured I should have this here as well. Also updated My Books to include this excerpt.

The first excerpt for this went out with my newsletter. The second one I posted here on my blog and through I Heart Books --- check out their page since they're giving away tons of stuff to celebrate having 5,000 likes. Do like them, too, and join in!

But back to the book. I'm really happy to say that I can provide a----
Cover reveal next week.

And....

That the books will be out this month.

Exciting, right?!
