After Sundown No Longer Exclusive to Amazon

After Sundown, the first book in my Sensual Romance Series is no longer exclusive at Amazon. You can now purchase the eBook at Barnes & Noble, All Romance and Smashwords. It is also on its way to other eBook stores, such as Kobo, Sony, Apple, Diesel, Page Foundry, Baker-Taylor’s Blio and Baker-Taylor’s Axis360.

Each book in the series is a standalone love story. Expect sexual tension and happy endings.

Reviews have been trickling in, and so far I am pleased. For the record, I’ve never paid for reviews or actively solicited them. As far as I am aware, none are from personal friends or family members. 

If you prefer paperback books to ebooks, you can purchase After Sundown in paperback. Click here for the paperback version.

I Love it When They Laugh

My sister, Lynn, arrived in Havasu after Christmas, to spend time with my mother and me. While she was here I read her my work in progress (WIP), which is about 1/3 of the way through the first draft. It brought back memories of when I read the early drafts of Lessons to her, many years ago.

Sisters are different than friends. Friends may be hesitant to tell you if your story is missing something – or is basically, crap. Thing about sisters, even if they want to tell you your book is good, when it is bad – they normally can’t pull it off. At least my sister can’t. We are too close, and know each other too well.

So I was tickled when she really got into the story – and started laughing out loud at just the right parts.

For almost two months I had been having a problem committing to a new manuscript. I kept hopping from one project to another, leaving first chapters scattered all over my hard drive. Finally, I settled on my current WIP.

It seems I made the right choice, if my sister’s reaction is any indication. Now, I just need to figure out a title. And, finish the book, of course.

Happy New Years from Anna J. McIntyre!

As we head into 2013, I thought it was time I gave this blog an update for the New Year. Have a look around; you'll see by the links under the top banner that I’ve added some pages.

I’m current writing the second book in my Sensual Romance Series. Like the first book in the series, After Sundown, it is a standalone story that brings the reader romance, sexual tension and a happy ending.

I haven’t found my title yet, but the story is about a famous rock star, who has grown weary of the attractive female fans breaking into his hotel room and climbing into his bed uninvited. What he need is some time alone, which is not easy, considering he has one of the most recognizable faces in the country and paparazzi are perpetually camped outside his door.

He manages to find a cabin getaway, where he plans to spend time alone and work on his music.  What he doesn’t expect is a blizzard, or finding himself trapped alone with an attractive young author.

Yet the biggest surprise comes when the reclusive author really has no idea who he is, isn’t a fan of his music, nor is she terribly impressed with the rock star.

If you have a great idea for a title, I would love to hear it!

Hope you have a wonderful New Year's Eve, and don't forget to get a designated driver, if you plan to go out and  enjoy some holiday cheer.

The Senator's Secret

Unbeknownst to Kim she holds the key to the Senator's secret. 

Will she unravel the mystery before someone else dies?

Sixteen years earlier, 18-year-old Kim Myers left her hometown to start a new life away from her reclusive mother – and away from Adam Keller, the high school sweetheart who got her pregnant.

Kim returns when her mother and Senator Harrison Coulson are murdered. Aside from the fact the senator is Adam’s step-uncle, there seems to be no connection between the two victims.

Back home, nothing is really as it seems. Untangling the web of lies will forever alter Kim’s life and change the course of the powerful Coulson family.
