Cover Reveal, Lipstick & Bolsheviks

It's here! And you know what that means.....I really do fully intend to have part one of the third book of The von Strassenberg Saga out in a few weeks! It's going well enough that I feel safe saying that!

In 1905 Katie yearns for the attention of her husband who spends all his energy working for Doctor von Strassenberg. Nothing can break him from his obsessive allegiance for the doctor with exception of the doctor's young and handsome grandson who has just arrived back from Europe. 

In 2010 William Drexler III is still nowhere to be found. Raquel von Strassenberg joins forces with William's lovely secretary Abbie. Together they plan to breech the walls of Raquel's ancestral home to discover just what young Peter von Strassenberg has been up to. 



Here's a new snippet from part one of Lipstick & Bolsheviks:

Steam wafted around him. The house was in its perpetual icebox state but in his expansive bathroom Peter had recreated the heat and humidity of the June evening. Droplets of water fell in a slow rhythm from the multiple showerheads lining the tile wall. Drip. Drip drop. Like the eerie melody of a classic horror movie. Drip. Drop. Drip drip drop. Someone’s hiding in the steam.

But he had given up long ago on the idea of anything so exciting happening inside the castle. It was just wood and stones and locked doors. 

Filter: Book One of The von Strassenberg Saga is FREE on Smashwords until the release of book 3! Or you can it at Amazon or B&N for 99 cents!

The von Strassenberg Saga ~ Vlog 1

While studying Broadcast Journalism it was never my dream to be an anchor on the nightly news. Though I can do a cold reading from the teleprompter with the best of them, being on camera makes me shudder. Regardless, book trailers and video logs seems to be the thing, so we'll give it a try. My husband says this video is false advertising as I am way too calm and quiet. But, as I pointed out, there are a) no children present in this video (though a sword fight broke out in the background, this was edited out) and b) no husband sitting off camera making relentless comments in an effort to get my knickers in a knot. I am situationally funny and the camera built in to my HTC Inspire doesn't give me much material to work. So without further adieu, here is me telling you why I wrote The von Strassenberg Saga. And I apologize because the video geek in me took over and I was completely amused by the effect a dramatic music bed, coupled with desaturated video and slow zoom, can have. It makes me chuckle. But then, I am part tech geek.

It almost feels kind of sad after all the excitement. I will definitely host another giveaway before the release of book 2. Follow my blog to keep in the know!


For those 1,093 of you who didn't win...I honestly wish I could send all of you copies! Seriously, this is why being a business major wasn't working for me. Love to give stuff away! If you would like to purchase a copy, Barnes and Noble is peddling Filter: Book One of the von Strassenberg Saga for only $10. (http://bit.ly/mwSmYg) I'm kind of upset with them because the description isn't listed, it's all very austere-looking. No bueno. For a better look into it try here (http://bit.ly/mqxTAQ) and then buy it for cheap at Barnes and Noble! It isn't available in stores. But maybe if you asked, it would be!


If you have a Kindle, all the better!  It's only $2.99! Congratulations to all the winners!
