Happy weekend! I'm off to our sailboat, Land's Zen, and the Carolina coast tomorrow morning. I thought I'd leave you all with a new excerpt from "Stealing the Wind," the first book in the Mermen of Ea Series, due out this summer from Dreamspinner Press. But before I do, a few quick updates....

First, I hope you all like the updates my wonderful web guru, Angsty G, has made to my website. What's new? Buttons for Facebook, Goodreads, and Twitter, as well as progress bars for all my WIPs. You may also notice the new "Series" tab, where you can find all my series listed. Most of the other goodies aren't as obvious, with one major exception: I now have a newsletter! To subscribe, just enter your email address on my home page. Simple, and I promise never to spam you or to send you newsletters more often than once a month.

Next, "Encore," the fifth Blue Notes Series book has been submitted to Dreamspinner Press. If they contract the book, look for a November release date. I'm also working on a Blue Notes novella to be released during the holidays, tentatively entitled, "Symphony in Blue." It will be a sequel to the first four books, and wrap up of Cary/Antonio and Sam/Aiden, but will also include Jules/Jason and David/Alex pairings. Oh, and Massimo, too!

Lastly, I'll be starting a new free serialized story, "Who Rules the King's Heart," in my first newsletter issue. Subscribers to the newsletter will get updates on the story in each issue and a week later, I'll post the updates to the "Free Fiction" tab on my website. So you don't have to subscribe to read the story, but you will get it sooner if you do. "Who Rules the King's Heart" is an MM erotic fantasy story about a king and the half demon/half human he loves.

Thanks for stopping by! Remember to sign up for the newsletter if you'd like. To read the excerpt from "Stealing the Wind," go to my website, www.shiraanthony.com. I'm anxiously awaiting the cover art for the novel, and I'll be sharing that as soon as it's finalized, so stay tuned. Enjoy your weekend! -Shira

Coming in my July 1st newsletter, my serialized erotic MM fantasy, Who Rules the King's Heart. I'll be publishing updates to the story monthly in my newsletter. You can sign up on the lower left-hand side of my home page to receive newsletters. Subscribers will receive updates to the story a week earlier than posts on my website. Other subscriber benefits: newsletter only giveaways, as well as updates on new and upcoming releases.

Who Rules the King's Heart is a sexy fantasy story/gay romance about Mikail, King of Shaeron, and the captain of his royal guard, Nathaneel, with whom Mikail is secretly in love. What Nathaneel doesn't know is that he is half demon. Things get complicated when King Mikail learns his captain's true nature.

Here's the link to Chapter One, the prologue. My July 1st newsletter will have Chapter Two included, and you'll be able to read that chapter on my website on July 8th. I hope you enjoy the preview. -Shira
