*Don't Leave, Ella*
Hello all!
Some of you have been acquainted with my dark side in The Morbid and Sultry Tales of Genevieve Clare.
Well.
Hang on to your hats and glasses because I think I just tapped into my "wow, did I just read that? That was totally f*&ed up!" side.
Can't. Wait.

Warning for Bride in Bloom (Spoilers)
I know as a reader myself, there are some surprises I wish I never knew were coming. For those of you who read Bride in Bloom before I put a warning of M/M in the blurb and were offended by this content, I apologize.
SPOILERS:
If you've read Bride in Bloom, feel free to continue on...
*****************************************
There are two common complaints in negative reviews. The first is when our Victoria just stands there and watches her fiance with another man. I've been in a similar situation and what I wrote here is what I experienced: shock, the realization my feelings were not as deep as I thought they were and that I had no idea who the man was I was going to marry. As we go on in the story, we learn this exactly where Tori was coming from.
The second complaint was the stalker insta-love. Listen, it's fiction, it's romance and if it's cheesy insta-love and you need more reality in your fiction, I can completely understand that. But for me, this was one of those one in a million chances. An attraction, a smile, a spark...something I think most of us have experienced, but probably haven't had the chance to act on it. Why? Because that's just crazy.

Nico disclaimer
Hello all!
For those of you that have read Inky and Cole, the underlying theme of abuse in The Leaves series will come as no surprise. Those that haven't, please be warned. Though I am careful not to give gruesome and graphic details of any abuse situation, it is still there. Some of these situations will no doubt be too much for some to read about. Nico deals with different kinds of abuse and heartache, specifically rape, child abuse, miscarriage, and loss of a loved one. I assure you this story has a happy ending but I would rather not upset anyone unnecessarily. If you're uncertain on whether or not this is the book for you, please message me with any questions or concerns and I will be happy to answer them. This book is for an over 18 audience and includes adult themes and sexual situations. As stated previously, I have not written this story to glorify abuse or violence toward women...my aim is to give them a happily-ever-after with knowledge their journey to get there was not an easy one.

NICO!!
If you have not done so already, Nico is almost here...
The cover reveal is set for January 7th, 2014 and only four short weeks later (I know, I know) Nico will be released too!!
Nico is a stand alone within The Leaves series. However, you may remember him as Inky's tattoo artist. This is his story of how he came to help Anika, and women like her, express their pain through the tattoos he gives.
I am so excited to share Nico's story with everyone. I want everyone to be forewarned, this is a book with lots of bad words and adult "situations". I would very strongly recommend this a read for an over eighteen audience.
In the meantime, keep an eye on my Facebook page for teasers!!

For those of you that TBR'd INKY, well, Cole is on it's way. September 21st is the release...and since I'm in Australia, that means when you wake up from your book hangover on the 19th (in the Northern hemisphere) it should be live and ready to take you in it's grip, and give you a nice warm hug.
