Winners! (& other random “stuff”)

Hey all!

Okay, I know, I know…I’ve been MIA the last week. Apologies for that. Release week always kicks my butt and as it turned out I didn’t get a lick of writing done. So last week I hibernated because I have a book due June 1 (The 3rd Eternal Guardians book, which I am SO loving!). I’m happy to report I’m at the climax of the story now, so I should be able to wrap this baby up in the next week or two. Then I’m moving on to book four, which I am totally excited about.

Woooooow! What a day. Nothing overly exciting, just crazy release day stuff. I’m so glad I don’t have releases every day. As fun and exciting as they are, I don’t think I would be sane! However, I have to tell you how thrilled I was when I came home from my errands and found so many fabulous comments from readers who want REAL heroes! Yay! I’ve got seven Eternal Guardians who are just waiting for you.

I know you’re all eager to see … Read more »

MARKED Releases Tomorrow!!!

Squeee!!! It’s almost here!

Book 1 in my new Eternal Guardians Series releases tomorrow! Library Journal recently reviewed it and said:

“Steamy, intricately plotted, and creatively conceived, this title gets Naughton’s ‘Eternal Guardian’ series, featuring warriors who protect their world from the daemons of the Underworld, off to a sizzling start and will leave paranormal fans breathless and wanting more.”

That’s my first ever Library Journal review, so I was elated.
