At the end of a rather stressful summer, it was time to face some facts about my published ebooks. Frankly, for some reason, readership has been less than stellar. I'm really not sure if the reality is that I was taking too long between publications, or if it was something else. Like marketing.
Argh.
Trying to break into an established novel genre, like romance, even in the indie market is difficult. There's a lot of people out there trying to do the same, and trying to break through all the barriers put up to be sure material that publishing houses would most likely reject actually reaches the readers. (Like clean romance that many readers prefer over books with soft porn scenes.)
And so, I'm investing time in learning how to get the word out. This is not as easy as it looks.
In the meantime, "Talk Dirty to Me" is the first book in the second half of the "Turn My Head" Series. Here's the blurb that will appear at the beginning of the book when it is published right after Labor Day.

Welcome to the second half of the “Turn My Head” series!
In the first six books, we meet a family of seven amazingly
hot, and wealthy brothers – and their brides – the Pernouds. The boys all
inherited the family trait of falling in love forever at first sight, a
phenomenon known as “head turning” in their family.
Along the way in the first six installments of this series,
we meet several friends and in-laws who have just as muxed up lives as every
other human family out there. In the second half, we get to know Ryan Fallon,
Josie Miller, Mickey Dolan, and his southern belle, Tara McKenzie. Sean Dolan
capitulates on pursuing Marianne Drummond, and her big brother Linus and Sean
and Mickey’s sister Maureen spend a lot of time dancing the night away.
Along the way, Gabriel Pernoud and Alicia Drummond FINALLY
get married, but not without massive Drummond family drama better suited for
the stage than a wedding. Picking up the rear, is a Pernoud cousin, Declan
Collins, whose head turner slapped him across the face when he approached her.
She was attached at the time, but is no longer.
