...is the release date of The Art of Wedding a Greek Billionaire. It should be live on Amazon, Kobo, and AllRomance right away. It may take a day or two more to be live on Barnes & Noble and at least a week more before it goes live on Apple.

Thank you everyone for being patient. Again, I apologize for the delay but I'm really happy right now with how Greek 5 turned out. I know I won't be able to please everyone, but I also know that if I had released this book early, it wouldn't have been right for me or for any of you.

In case you've been refreshing Amazon and you haven't seen my announcement on my Facebook page, I just want you guys to know that Book 4: The Art of Forgiving a Greek Billionaire will be OUT on MARCH 9, SUNDAY EVENING. 

That's all! :D 

Just an update since I feel like I've been gone for so long from my blog. :)

• I submitted the complete manuscript of Jason & Keanne to my publisher. Not sure when she'd release it but I'm thinking this week.
  
• I need to finish my stories for two multi-author bundles due out this month - that's what's keeping me very busy and the reason why I don't get to post much on Facebook or Twitter.
  
• After Valentines Day, I'll finish Book 4: The Art of Loving a Greek Billionaire.
  
• My turnover date for Evren 2 is on March 15, 2014.
  

That's my schedule for now. :D 

But first - before we talk about that, you might want to check out my latest book spotlight and author interview for R.E. Butler on her newest book, Mate of Her Heart. I had fun doing this and if you're a fan of shifter romance, you'll love reading the book and the interview as well. ;) 

Now, on to business. So what do I owe you...mmm...
Warning: Love Moderately Part II is on its way. I've signed it up for a really special book tour so no backing out now! It will be out sometime after New Year. Oh, and also WLM will be reissued with a brand new spanking cover and title - UNWILLINGLY YOURS. It will be a part of this cool boxed set and it will feature never-before-seen chapters tackling Angelo's back story. You'll like it, I promise. After all, Angelo's a hot alpha male, too. He just has his own reasons for being a jerk. ;)

How Not to be Seduced by Dukes - the last Pussketeer story - is also on its way. Maybe after Christmas or New Year. It depends on my publisher. But she'll release it as soon as possible, I'm sure of that. ;)


The Art of Loving a Greek Billionaire (Book 3) will be out this month - December - also! Good news, right?

Jason and Keanne will be out either January or February. This one has been contracted - and I'll pay a huge penalty if I don't get it out in time. 

Same for Evren 2! I know a lot of you are waiting for this - it will be out around March. :) I've sealed this contract with my blood - I mean, my signature. No backing out! No delays! Just Dyvian and Davie all the way! :)

Oh, and Books 4 and 5 for the Greek Billionaire Romance series out in January and February respectively.

Those are A LOT OF BOOKS. You should be proud of me! :P

Good news or bad news first?

If it were up to me, I always start with the BAD news so here it is ---

We're moving Jason and Keanne to December. This is final. I am under obligation to my publisher to submit the story to her on or before Christmas Day and I even volunteered to pay my publisher a certain fee if I do not make it to my deadline. You know the drill. :) I would rather lose $$$ than disappoint you guys even more.

I'm really, really sorry about the delay. You see, I recently had an opportunity to be a part of TWO box sets - which I think would make a nice Christmas gift for everyone as well as a chance for me to experience working with other authors. So bottom line, I decided to focus on the box sets first before resuming my work on JNK. Please say you'll forgive me. Please???

Now, the first box set will be out this month - OCTOBER 2013. You've seen the first volume - The Billionaire Romance Bundle, which contains 9 fantastic billionaire romance books. The second one also has 9 stories in all AAAAND includes an all-new billionaire novella from yours truly to kickstart another series. 

The Art of Catching a Greek Billionaire. With the Pussketeers ending with Rathe and Mary's story (OUT JANUARY 2013), I thought it would be fun to start another billionaires' series. Here's a quick blurb if you haven't seen it yet --
Once upon a time, there was an ordinary girl who grew up listening to bedtime stories that sounded very much like Harlequin paperbacks.
And so instead of dreaming about Prince Charming or a knight in shining armor, she dreamt of one day finding Her Own Greek Billionaire and living happily ever after with him.
When this little girl grew up, she did what she could to make her dream come true.
This is my story. 
I mean your story. 
I mean, Mairi Tanner's story.

The second bundle / box set will be out December 2013. It will include a full-length standalone novel. It has a ROCKSTAR theme. I missed writing about the world of Saffi and Staffan so I thought it was nice to get back to this one. =D

Now, for the good news ----

• Rathe and Mary's story is due for submission to my publisher on 1/31.2014.
  
• Evren 2 is due for submission to my publisher on 3/15/2014. 

I know it's a long way off, but at least you've got dates to mark on your calendars. It's still better than nothing, right? And to make sure I'm going to finish everything on time, I once again signed a contract that requires me to pay $$$ if I don't submit on time! See how much I love you guys? =D 

Finally, in between December and March, I am likely to work or finish the following stories:

• Warning: Love Moderately II
• The Heart of a Duchess

So there it is - our updated release schedule. Any violent reactions? =D

I posted this a while ago on Facebook but I'm also posting it here. From now on, I'll categorize posts like this as RELEASE SCHEDULE so that you can easily find the updates on my blog. :)

Now, I promised my publisher that I'll deliver to her the complete manuscripts of Jason and Keanne as well as The Demon Duke and I before I leave for Hong Kong. Those would have to be proofed before they can be released. I am not sure if they can be out on the last week of September, but knowing my publisher I have high hopes it will be so.

And for the rest ----

• Warning: Love Moderately (October OR November)
  
• Rathe's story (the last Pussketeer book) - October OR November
  
• When I Moan - Most likely DECEMBER
  
• Christmas Anthology - NOVEMBER
  
• Alessandro Moretti's story (previously titled My Secret Professor Boyfriend) - Most likely DECEMBER
  
• Reid's story - sometime between October and December

Now, those dates can still change. Most of these stories are complete on my notebooks - I wrote them years ago, like I said before and which is why I get to release them quickly. BUT of course I have to edit and flesh them out and that takes time. Plus, I can only write what I FEEL like writing at the moment. It's unfortunate, but I can't force myself to write the book everyone wants the most to read (case in point: the much-delayed A Royal Heartbreak). If I force myself to do so, trust me - you would NOT want to read that book. 

Another implication of the above schedule?
I am soooo very sorry but it means I have to push back the release dates for the sequels of Evren and Death Loves Me Not. I know, I know - I promised it would be this year. But right now I just can't see myself being able to write them in the way I want to. These two involve detailed world-building and I wouldn't want the sequels to fall short when compared to their predecessors. 

Again, the above schedule can still change BUT one thing I'm sure is that the sequels to Evren and DLMN won't be this year. 
:( Sorry again!
