An Unexpected Wreath (coming December 16, 2013)

Cover Reveal: Van Locken's Witch by Debbie Peterson

Hey Friends! I'm so thrilled that I've been able to be a part of so many celebrations lately. Today is no exception. I am excited to share with you the cover for Debbie Peterson's next paranormal romance Van Locken's Witch.

Kapitein Rand Van Locken has no idea what awaits him as he boards the Spanish galleon on behalf of the Dutch West India Company, or that the beautiful woman imprisoned within will change his life in ways he never imagined or even desired. Until now...

Lissa Capoen, didn't plan for the Spaniards to capture her while attempting  to rescue her sister. She didn't foresee the handsome sea captain coming swiftly to her aid and offering his assistance. Nor did she expect him to steal her heart and claim it as his own.

Yet, as destiny brings them ever closer together, Armando Manera is determined to recapture the witch and present her to the Spanish King. No matter what it takes...

Cover Reveal: Seizing Fate

Hello Friends!

As I'm coming down off the high of the Melted Tears release, I am returning the karmic favor and making sure I help my fellow romance authors get the word out about their books! Check out this intriguing cover for Seizing Fate (Predetermined #2) by Heather Van Fleet.

And you thought Emmy’s life was a hot mess before…

Jack’s gone off to Arizona with his brother, but for how long? Emmy doesn’t have a clue. In his place, though, is Zachary. The whiny, miserable, alpha wolf–boy who is more than ready to take on the duty of her mate/boyfriend — if she’d let him, that is. But the last thing Emmy wants is to deal with a boy who believes that the world should fall solely at his feet whenever he demands it.

But hey, at least her step–douche is gone, and her life is back to an almost normal sense, right?

Wrong again, Emmy’s life will never again be normal…

With her Uncle Prick in town and her best friend acting as secretive as ever, Emmy finds new challenges to overcome — challenges that no seventeen–year–old girl should ever have to deal with. For one thing, what is up with her dream–liaison status anyway? What does it mean, really? And why does her little brother have to go through it too? And then there’s her mom. The lady is acting a tad bit odd, to put it nicely. After all these years, she finally wants to step up and be a parental figure? Heck no! Emmy’s definitely not copacetic with that idea. 

But with the bad, there’s got to be some good out there for her somewhere, right?

Add in the wolves, witches, drama, and lots of kisses and you get Emmy the Extraordinaire, the girl with strawberry–colored hair, and a chip on her shoulder. She’s finally on her way to finding out what her life and her future both have in store for her, even if the road to getting there is nowhere near as easy as she hoped it would be. But Emmy is tough, and more than ready to take on life with her bare hands. 

It’s just too bad she’s madly, desperately, insanely in love with a boy who insists on making her life both a miserable hell and utter perfection at the same time.

And Van Fleet has even given you a juicy excerpt from her upcoming release:

Pressure, fire, wetness, tongues — single words were all I could think as our mouths battled. God, I’d never been kissed like this before. Ever, and if we stopped, I’d die a happy woman from his lips touching mine alone. He tugged his hand into the back of my hair, pulling my chin upwards, yanking me towards him. I clawed at his shirt, ready to rip it from his massive body. I pulled at his jacket first, lowering it over his shoulders until it fell to the floor. The buttons jingled against the tile, scattering over our feet. Damn, if he didn’t care about his signature black coat falling apart, then I had to wonder what else I could get away with. 

Go ahead and add Seizing Fate to your Goodreads so you don't forget how much you want to read it!

Summer's End

I don't usually post my poetry here (or anywhere for that matter) but I decided to share a sliver of this part of me with you, my dear readers.



Summer's End

A sip of sangria
Close your eyes
Listen to your heartbeat
Thump thump thump

The sun heats your legs
Shield your face
Watch the minute hand
Tick tick tick

Your tongue feels thick
Guard your words
Feel the painful truth
Tap tap tap

The air stands still
Measure time
Kiss away the loss
Tsk tsk tsk

Fuck You, Domain Name Thief

Just shoot me.


Here's the friendly version of this post:

Hey friends and fans! Just a little update to let you know the website address has changed but everything else is still the same. No sweat! See ya at the cover reveal on Wednesday!

Okay, and now here is the real post:

Son of a cock sucking monkey! Turns out, my dumb ass has some crazy old email attached to my domain provider account, so I wasn't receiving the notices that my domain registration was ABOUT TO EXPIRE. Therefore, my old web address is now owned by a Japanese spa (or so they claim). Obviously I'm getting reamed by one of those assholes who goes around snapping up domains as they expire and then charges people an arm and a leg to get them back (brilliant, really, I need to start doing it myself). Well, FUCK THAT GUY. So, if you look carefully, you'll see the new website address is

www.AnnabelleBlumeBooks.com

and that's what it will stay. Trust me, I will never let this happen again. What a colossal energy-sicking-stress-enducing day this was; complete with self loathing for even letting this happen.

Luckily, as the sign says above, I'm an Internet Expert (who barely understands the internet) so I was able to remedy the majority of problems today.

Now, I'm off to make new book marks (FML).

And yes, the Melted Tears (Book 2 in the Outlier Chronicles)  cover reveal is WEDNESDAY.

Au Revoire, my little darlings. (Yes, I'm delirious. Don't pick on me.)
