A Rare Sighting!

 As anyone checking in here might have noticed I don't post much at Isabo Kelly these days! Sorry about that. Kat Simons is getting all the releases at the moment.

HOWEVER, today, June 20th (happy solstice!), one day only, Isabo has a book in the Stuff Your eReader promotion over at Romance Bookworms!


The paranormal hockey romance anthology with me, Stacey Agdern and Kenzie MacLir, ICING THE PUCK, is FREE! Along with lots and lots of other books. No strings attached to this promotion. No signs ups necessary. Just one place to find all the romance books you could want to stuff your eReader with for the summer!

None of the New York Empire anthologies run free promotion very often, so this is a rare chance to get one of the books free. And if you enjoy it, I hope you'll check out the other two (for now) anthologies!

Don't miss this super fun promotion!



As a quick catch up since I don't post here much, be sure to visit Kat Simons and KatSimonsBooks to see all my newest releases. I will be publishing some more Isabo Kelly books in the not-too-distant future, mostly science fiction fun stuff. And there are some new covers coming for some of my fantasy romance backlist. So check that out.

Also, also, by the end of the year, I should have all Isabo's books up at KatSimonsBooks where you can buy them direct. I might even have some special things for Isabo there. So be sure to check it out!

Happy Reading!

Brand New Hockey Romance with a Paranormal Flare

Next up in the New York Empires series
ROUGHING IT
Out now!!

That's right! More sexy hockey players and their love interests, with an added touch of paranormal just to make things interesting. Three all new stories in this ongoing series. At the moment, the book is available at Amazon only, but look for it to spread through to the other vendors at the end of the summer.


ROUGHING IT (New York Empires 3)
eBook


Caught in the Crossfire by Stacey Agdern

Bryce Emerson only agreed to draw an account of the Empires Goalie Tryouts to humor his brother. But when a vision convinces him the woman who saved his prized pen from a snowy grave is in danger of being injured by a faulty mask, he takes it upon himself to make her a new one.

Goaltender Carly Fein is trying out for the New York Empires, and the last thing she needs is the complication of an artist. But when she agrees to let him make her a new mask, Bryce Emerson finds his way under her skin.

Can Bryce and Carly figure out what happens when they’re caught in the crossfire of love and hockey? Or will the stress of new love and competition drive them apart.


Crashing the Net by Isabo Kelly

Billionaire Connor Evans needs a challenge. Trying out for the New York Empires’ hockey team fits the bill, even if it is just a publicity stunt and a way to shut his twin brother up. Running into the woman who left him six years earlier, a woman he’s never gotten over, is not part of the plan. Once he sees Matty, though, Connor knows he can’t let her go again. But he’s got secrets he can’t risk sharing. And Matty is the one person who could uncover those secrets if he lets her get too close.

After traveling the world, Matilda Thomson is ready for a real job and a more stable life. Her internship with the New York Empires will give her the experience she needs to move into that future. But first, she has to face Connor again, and one of the most painful losses she’s ever experienced. The only way she can move forward is to confront her feelings and risk her heart one more time.

Heat and passion spark as hot as ever between them. But trust doesn’t come easy. And if Connor can’t open up and let Matty in this time, he’ll lose her forever.


Against the Boards by Kenzie MacLir

Kyle Sandberg is living his best life. He’s one of the top hockey players in the world. Has two amazing best friends and all the sarcastic hockey t-shirts he could wear. After his own family turns their backs on him, he’s happy playing for the Empires and hanging out with his own found family. What he doesn’t want is his pain in the ass twin brother back in his life or a mate.

When paramedic Faith Church left Puerto Rico for New York, she had zero intentions of getting involved in the local pack. Having had her fill of pack politics, she was ready to go lone wolf. But being left alone was too much to ask when her cousin was the Alpha’s mate.

What neither was counting on was Fate, having her own plans for them. A chance encounter at a traffic accident changes everything. Kyle and his wolf are willing to go with Fate’s plans. But Faith, having finally broken away from her pack’s expectations wants nothing to do with Fate, or Kyle. Too bad her wolf disagrees…

~~~

I hope everyone is staying safe and healthy. Have a great summer of reading!

Getting Some More Books Re-Released!

And Even More Re-Releases Are Finally Out!

Thief's Desire and Destiny's Seduction have print editions out now! Yay! They are still moving out into all the distributions sites, but here are the links I have for them now (check back as I'll update as more come in).

THIEF'S DESIRE (print edition) available from: Amazon | Barnes & Noble
DESTINY'S SEDUCTION (print edition) available now from: Barnes & Noble


I've also managed to get out four more of my back list.

My erotic Halloween novella BONFIRE NIGHT is now available (in ebook) from:


This one was out in time for Halloween, but October got away from me, so I'm posting this a bit late. But now it'll be there ready for anytime you need a sexy Halloween read.

Additionally, I got the entire Fire and Tears series re-released (in ebook) in October. Books 2 and 3 have new titles--The Darkness of Glengowyn is NOW Darkness Singed. Warrior's Dawn is NOW Dawn Ignited. I haven't actually changed anything in the books (except for some typos) from their original releases, so if you've bought the originally published versions, you don't need to re-purchase these versions. If you haven't taken a look at this sexy fantasy romance series, you might want to give them a try.

BRIGHTARROW BURNING (Fire and Tears 1): Amazon | Kobo | iBooks | BN Nook | Smashwords
DARKNESS SINGED (Fire and Tears 2): Amazon | Kobo | iBooks | BN Nook | Smashwords
DAWN IGNITED (Fire and Tears 3): Amazon | Kobo | iBooks | BN Nook | Smashwords


The Fire and Tears series will be released in print as well, but I might not be able to get that finalized until the new year--hopefully January. I'll post updates when the print editions are out. I may also go ahead and do a print version of Bonfire Night as well. I'll update that here too when it happens.

For the two Christmas stories in my backlist, I'm not sure I'll have time to get them out this month. But I will update here when I've got them ready.

And for NEW RELEASE updates, I'll be starting the editing process with my fellow authors for the next New York Empires Hockey series in January! I'll also be working on getting The Naravan Chronicles out in 2018--including a NEW BOOK in the series!

Keep checking back for updates on all the backlist and new book releases. You can also sign up at my newsletter to get the information directly into your inbox.

Happy Winter, everyone! And happy reading!

As Promised...Re-RELEASES!!!

It's true! I'm finally getting my backlist sorted and making it available again--refreshed with all new covers and updated blurbs. For the most part, the actually books are the same as the previously published versions, just with some typos fixed here and there. So if you already own copies of these books, you don't need to buy the updated versions.

The process of getting the backlist re-released will take some time, but at least the process has begun. (Thank you Pre-K for providing my youngest a place to be for several hours a day so I can work *grin*). I'm making my way through the ebook copies first, but print copies of almost everything will follow. And if you'd like up to date information about the new releases, you can join my newsletter. It will be an erratic, sent out only when I have news, kind of newsletter (and if I have a lot of news, only once a month) so as not to clutter your already busy inboxes.

It seems fitting that to begin the process of re-releasing backlist, I start with two of my earliest books. Thief's Desire and Destiny's Seduction. For the first time in their more than 15 year history of publication, they actually have complimentary covers now too! That part is still pretty exciting to me.

Thief's Desire (Fate's Hand, Book 1)
Amazon | iBooks | Kobo | Nook | Smashwords

She’s a thief. He protects the king. They aren’t meant to be together. Then Fate comes calling…


Available September 28, 2017




Destiny's Seduction (Fate's Hand, Book 2)
Amazon | iBooks | Kobo | Nook | Smashwords

She holds the fate of the world in the palm of her hand. He has to protect her, whether he likes it or not. And love is their only chance…


Available September 29, 2017





If all goes to plan, the next release will be my super sexy paranormal romance, Bonfire Night, just in time for October and Halloween! The ebook will be available on October 6th. Again with print to follow when I can.

After that, look for the Fire&Tears series to come out, hopefully in October. More new covers and I have new titles for the last two books in the series--I'm doing a number of title changes for the backlist, so be sure to check the blurbs to see if you own the books already! And remember, most ebook retailers will take returns if you discover you do own a book already.

If I can manage it, I'll get the two Christmas-themed stories I have up in November in time for Christmas. Then look for the re-release of The Naravan Chronicles in 2018. For that series, I'll also have a NEW RELEASE to cap off the re-releases! So that'll be fun. All of The Naravan Chronicles books have had their titles changed, simplified really, but I'll be sure to remind everyone of that when the releases start happening.

And finally, I am working on another New York Empires anthology with Stacey Agdern and Kenzie MacLir. Be sure to check back for updates on that. (or again, you could join my newsletter--which I promise will not spam your inbox!)

Happy Fall Everyone! I hope it's full of good reads and a few peaceful moments here and there. (Which I think we all need right now!)

Hockey Romance anyone?

New Release

It's officially here! The second book in the New York Empires hockey romance series. ICING THE PUCK is the story of three new Empires and their journey to lasting love. You'll see some characters from previous stories as well as meet many new ones, and this time, my story isn't the only one with a paranormal twist *grin*

The book is available in ebook now: Amazon | iBooks | Kobo | Nook | Smashwords

And look for print editions of both GOING ALL IN and ICING THE PUCK soon.

Happy Reading!

ICING THE PUCK, New York Empires Book 2

The New York Empires are back…this time three new players will find their HEA and maybe a little more.

Light the Lamp by Isabo Kelly

Geneticist Dr. Ann Bell never thought she’d have a normal life or a normal relationship. She moves to New York hoping her “Devil’s spawn” half sister can help her control the fire curse that’s haunted her her whole life. Without help, Ann fears she’ll kill someone. Finding a confusing, handsome, overwhelming hockey player was never part of the plan. But when that man proves to be someone she could love, things get a lot more complicated for Ann.

New York Empires defenseman Brody Evans never expects to find the woman of his dreams wandering the physical therapy center. He’s never met anyone like Ann Bell, and he wants more from her than any other woman before. But Ann’s keeping a secret that could tear them apart. For the first time in his life, Brody feels helpless. He’s a fighter, though, and Ann is a woman he’ll fight for, no matter what it takes.

Crossing the Lines by Stacey Agdern

Kayleigh Emerson knows that she shouldn’t get involved with a teammate of her brother’s. But the chemistry between her and rookie sensation Max St. Laurent is unmistakable.

Max St. Laurent is captivated by the talented violinist who happens to be his captain’s sister. Unfortunately, he doesn’t need his unique combination of empathy and telepathy to realize there’ll be problems if he pursues her.

But when mandatory English conversational sessions lead to a fake date that feels all too real, Max and Kayleigh must decide whether to cross the line between friendship and love.

Change It Up by Kenzie MacLir

Reiner Jahr is in his second year of playing for the New York Empires. As a boy from SetsÃ¥, Norway, he dreamed of nothing but winning the Stanley Cup, and with his stick-handling skills, it’s close to becoming real. But finding out he’s the son of a god isn’t something he’s equipped to handle, and when he runs into his sister’s best friend at an event for his team, he can’t keep his eyes off her. Suddenly hockey is no longer the only thing on his mind.

Emma Chase loves her job with the local Special Olympics organization. Coordinating an event with the New York Empires has been a dream come true. Until she sees Reiner Jahr, her best friend’s big brother. Her teenage crush has developed into so much more. Seeing him again brings all her youthful feelings racing back. Their meeting sets in motion a chain of events that will forever change her.

What can they do when changes happen both on and off the ice?

Spring Update

CONVENTION TIME

Hi all! It's that time of year, and once again I'll be at Romantic Times BOOKLOVERS Convention in Las Vegas this year! I'll be there from April 13 - 16th. You can find me on a science fiction panel: The Dangerous, the Devious and the Irresistible on Thursday (April 14), and as usual at the Intergalactic Bar & Grille party on Friday (April 15). This year, we're giving away a special print anthology exclusive for readers who attend the Bar & Grille, so make sure to get there early--only the first 200 readers will get the anthology!

And of course, I'll be signing at the Giant Book Fair on Saturday (April 16th). I'll have the print WARRIOR'S DAWN (yay!) and...drum roll *g*... I'll have the print edition of one of my other pseudonym's books.
edition of

That's right, I actually have another pseudonym. Kat Simons is writing and publishing Paranormal Romance. At the moment, she's up to Book 6 in her bestselling Tiger Shifters paranormal romance series. It'll be book 1, ONCE UPON A TIGER, that I have with me at the signing.

RT is the first time I'll be out and about as both Isabo and Kat so feel free to accost both the me's and ask questions. The book signing is usually open to the public too if you happen to live in Las Vegas, so there's another place to find me. And for convention-goers, the two me's will be at the Saturday evening FAN-TASTIC Day party as well. Find me and say hi!


BOOK UPDATE

Don't miss my latest short story release THE LAST GUARDIAN. It's available in ebook from

This story was originally published in SUM3: The 2006 Zircon Anthology of Speculative Romance Fiction, edited by Jody Wallace and was the winner of the 2004 Zircon Award (during it's inaugural year). SUM3 is out of print now, so I wanted to get the story back out for readers.

As many of you may have heard, Samhain Publishing announced they're closing their doors. When this happens, my Samhain books will revert to me, but have no fear, I'll be re-releasing them. Hopefully they won't be out of print for too long. In the meantime, they're all still available from the usual vendors.

Which brings me to my Ellora's Cave stories. I have gotten the rights back for all those books, and I will finally be re-releasing them all this year. I'm starting with THIEF'S DESIRE and DESTINY'S SEDUCTION, but look for all the books over the course of 2016. I'm really excited about the re-releases because for the first time ever THIEF and DESTINY will have series matching covers! In all the years those books have been available, they've never had covers that matched (or often even revealed their genre of fantasy romance very good!). Well, now I'm going to make sure the covers look like series covers. I'm really excited about that.

Keep checking back for updates. I'll try to let you know what's happening as soon as I do (and more regularly than I have been--you can blame Kat for that as she's been occupying a lot of my time *g*).

In the meantime, Happy Reading!

New Release

UPDATE: Out of Print Books-- I've just about got my rights back for a number of books now, but it does mean they're out of print until I can get them republished. They will be rolling out over the course of the next year so keep checking back for the updates.



NEW RELEASE




KELLYN'S SACRIFICE, a short fantasy romance story, is available at Amazon now and will roll out to other vendors in mid-September. While it's exclusive to Amazon, it's part of their Kindle Unlimited program so if you happen to be part of that, you can read the story for free! But only for the next few months. Kellyn's Sacrifice is a prequel story to THE HERON'S CALL.


And don't miss:


WARRIOR'S DAWN (Fire and Tears, 3) -- Paperback Coming Soon!

For a chance at love, he may have to offer up his last drop of blood.

Branded a traitor, Althir of Glengowyn has resigned himself to life as outcast from his own people—until he’s offered a chance at redemption. A suicide mission to retrieve a vessel bearing the ultimate weapon: the Sorcerers’ true names.  

His companion on the journey is a human woman unlike any he’s ever encountered. Beautiful. Brave. Fascinating. And before he knows it, keeping her safe is more important than his own salvation.

Mina Dawnswealth’s talent for spycraft has kept her alive even as her dreams—and her family—have fallen victim to the war, one by one. Much as she hates the idea of helping the traitor elf, at least she gets the pleasure of burying a knife in his back should he decide to betray her people again. A much easier task if she didn’t find him so compelling.

Only when they’re beyond the point of no return do they discover just how much blood their mission will cost. And how much love it will take to overcome their pasts—if they survive.

Warning: Contains an arrogant ass of an elf hero and a human heroine with a bitter past who would like nothing better than to kill him. Danger, fighting, hard language, magical mayhem, deadly Sorcerers and hot sex fueled by an addictive pheromone. Can we get a “Hell, yeah”?

For a little taste of the book, here's an excerpt!

Once I have the rights back to all these books, I'll update you on when and where they'll be re-released. Thanks for your patience! And in the meantime...

Release Day Approaches!!

The big day is coming fast! The release of THE DARKNESS OF GLENGOWYN is just weeks away (April 29th!). I'm so excited for you all to read this second book in the Fire and Tears series. I think you'll like Einar and Nuala *g*

The book is available for preorder now at Amazon, Samhain Publishing, B&N, and Kobo (that I know of). To celebrate the upcoming release, I'm posting a little excerpt over on my blog. Enjoy!

If you're new to the series, the first Fire and Tears book is BRIGHTARROW BURNING. The second book can stand alone, but you might enjoy it all more if you try the first book first.

And also as a little celebration, the third book in the Fire and Tears series, WARRIOR'S DAWN, is now up for preorder! Because it's out there already, how about I do a little cover reveal? Drum roll, please......

Here it is!



Pretty, isn't it? The cover artist is doing such a fabulous job on this series, I can't thank her enough for the beautiful art.

This third book is about Althir--Ulric from BRIGHTARROW BURNING's rotten brother. I have to tell you guys, he was soooo much fun to write! He's such an ass, but a sexy, fun ass. LOL. I can't wait for you to read his story. And so you know, his heroine, Mina, is well able for him. This book is due out July 29, 2014, so you don't have to wait too long. But around May/June, I'll post a teaser excerpt so you can get a...taste of Althir? *g*

In the meantime, I hope you'll pick up a copy of THE DARKNESS OF GLENGOWYN (seriously, Einar is super yummy!).

Happy Reading!

SummerTime News

Almost August and the weather is...hot. But so is the writing and reading!

NEWS

I'm in a hockey romance anthology with the brilliant Cassandra Carr and Stacey Agdern which is due out soon! GOING ALL IN has three linked stories of romance starring the sexy hockey players of the NY Empires. Check back for the exact release date (currently planned for the end of August), but for now, here's the blurb and the cover art. Pretty, huh?!


Professional hockey players Marcus, Alex, and Chris attended their team's Vegas Night fundraiser having no idea their lives would change forever. Unfortunately, issues face each of the men on their quest for happiness. Can they move past their difficulties and win the most important game of their lives – the game of love? These guys are going all in…

HEDGING HIS BET: Cassandra Carr

Marcus Mitchell never thought he’d find the love of his life with champagne dripping from her shirt, but you can’t always plan these things. Annalise Alonso isn’t going to make it easy for him, though—he’s going to have to work for her love. Now, Marcus is taking a shot and hedging his bet on love.

CASTING THE DIE: Isabo Kelly

After she sees his murder in a vision, Nathalie Mendez knows she has to warn star hockey goalie Alexander Semenov of the danger. To keep him alive, she risks exposing her many secrets. But once the die is cast, her biggest gamble could be her heart.

PLAYING HER GAME: Stacey Agdern

Melanie Gould writes about passionate relationships, but keeps people at a distance…except when she’s promoting her books. Of course, she’s never gone head to head with a guy like Chris Emerson. Unfortunately, Chris is trying to behave, and someone like Melanie would destroy his plans to stay under the radar. So what happens when the woman the media has dubbed the ‘Girl in the Lace Corset’ and the NHL’s most infamous bad boy go one on one? Will they play her game? Will they play his? Or will they both end up in the penalty box?
 
SIGHTINGS

I'll be chatting with my fellow Tirgearr Publishing authors at the Loves Romance Cafe Yahoo Loop on Sunday, August 4th. If you're not on the loop, it's free to join. Stop in and grill--I mean chat with us about our books and anything else that comes to mind!

Looking to Autumn

Halfway through August and already I'm anticipating September. The start of school for Destructo and a new writing schedule for me. At least until January :)

NEWS: I've officially signed two more contracts with Tirgearr Publishing to republish two of my older stories. I'm really excited about this because both stories have been out of print for a few years now.

On October 18, 2012*, we'll be releasing INTERFACE--a SFR short story spin-off from The Naravan Chronicles. If you've read THE SECRET OF NARAVA and were wondering about Nathan's partner Alex, this is the story of how he and his wife Gina met--and got into a lot of trouble. This story was originally published in the anthology DREAM QUEST.

Then on November 1, 2012*, we'll be releasing my paranormal romance novella CHRISTMAS PRESENT, a look at what might happen if the Ghost of Christmas Present fell in love.

Both stories will be re-edited to update them a bit and will be available in all electronic formats. As soon as I have cover art, I'll reveal!

SIGHTINGS: I'll be doing several blogs over the upcoming months, so watch this spot for updates. Currently on the schedule:

I'm currently at friend and fellow author Cathy Greenfeder's blog being interviewed and giving away a free ebook from my backlist. Comment for a chance to win. You have from August 28th through September 9th to enter!

Then you can find me over at Heart of Fiction on September 4th answering a few questions. Fun stuff so please swing by and leave a comment.

On September 10th, I'll be over at Star-Crossed Romance and again, I'll be offering a free ebook from my backlist as a prize for one random commenter.

Also, I'll be at my local RWA/NYC chapter blog, Blogging in the Big Apple, on October 6th talking about what scares me! That should be fun. Do swing in and tell me what scares you.

For in-person SIGHTINGS: I'll be signing books and chatting to readers at the Brooklyn Book Festival 2012 on Sunday, September 23! The event is free so if you're in the New York area, drop in and say HI! I'll be at my local RWA chapter's booth.

And I'll be attending the New Jersey Romance Writer's annual Put Your Heart in a Book conference October 12-13. The book-signing on Saturday the 13th is open to the public so do stop in and say hello to all the wonderful writers attending this conference.

SALE: And finally, Tirgearr Publishing is having a ONE DAY 50% off sale on all Kindle versions of their books on August 29th! If you're a Kindle books reader, this is a great time to stock up on those titles you've been wanting to get. THE SECRET OF NARAVA will be among the books on sale and with the short story coming soon, what a great opportunity to pick up this book before that release!

Happy Reading!
