The Trouble with Baby Gods and Vampires--OUT NOW!!

The latest installment in Cary Redmond's adventures in Protectoring is out now! And wow is she in trouble this time. All in a days work for Portland's resident Protector, though, right?

THE TROUBLE WITH BABY GODS AND VAMPIRES
(Cary Redmond, Book 4)

EBook 

Trade Paperback: Amazon | BN | Book Depository  

Large Print: Paperback: Amazon | BN | Book Depository  

Trouble Throws a Curve… 

And not one Cary Redmond sees coming. In the early months of her seventh year as a magical Protector, discovering the Portland vampires behaving badly complicates Cary’s already complicated life. Learning the Master of Portland not only knows who she is but wants to meet her doesn’t help even a little bit.

With a wizard still skulking in the wings waiting to kill her and her latest Protector job tossing her into the middle of yet another crisis, the last thing Cary needs is vampire trouble. Even her developing relationship with her leopard shifter mate isn’t enough to distract from the shocks that just keep coming. And surviving her test year starts to look more and more impossible.

But she’s managed so far, she can get through this latest disaster. No problem for an ordinary woman with an extraordinary job…

If only life were that simple.

For up to date release information, publishing news, news about my own adventures in balcony gardens and baking, and an occasional treaty story, you can join my newsletter. There's a free (exclusive) Tiger Shifters short story included when you sign up. And I will have a special story for newsletter subscribers later this year.

This new story will be released widely in 2021, so if you don't like getting too many newsletters, the book will still be available to purchase. But I'm giving my subscribers an early copy. So if you're interested in a crossover paranormal romance story between the Cary Redmond world and the Tiger Shifters world, you might consider joining the newsletter. I only send them out once a month at most (I promise!).

Thanks for reading! I hope everyone is staying safe and healthy.

Happy almost Autumn!

HERE THERE BE TIGERS (Tiger Shifters Book #3)
He’ll defy his people and fight to the death to keep her...

She shouldn’t exist.

 

When Nila De Luca finds out she’s the impossible offspring of a human father and a tiger shifter mother, she knows her life will never be the same. She refuses to be a pawn in tiger politics or to have her future dictated by other people’s agendas. But before she can settle into her new life, she has to survive the vicious attacks of her mother’s mate and the covetous grab of a crazy tiger determined to use her for his own purposes. Her only ally is a sexy tiger shifter, a man she wants more than any other before, and with a passion that calls to her animal side.

 

He can’t have her.

 

Mitch Chernikov knows exactly how important Nila is to his people. She represents hope for their continued survival. His sole job is to keep her alive so she can fulfill that promise. He knows he won’t be allowed to keep her for himself. That knowledge doesn’t stop him from wanting her. Or from answering the passion that burns so fiercely between them. But to keep her, he’ll have to fight for her. And it will be a fight to the death.

Never kill a human.

Daniel Borowski, Tracker and enforcer of tiger shifter law, faces an impossible choice when the woman he loves is set on breaking one of their people’s most fundamental rules—don’t kill humans. Daniel’s own sense of justice cries out for the life of the man who murdered one of their own, but killing him—especially in tiger form—is an automatic death sentence. Daniel loves Sarah too much to allow her to throw her life away for revenge. But preventing her from killing could cost him any chance at a future with her.

Her soul demands blood.

Sarah Chu never imagined losing her best friend so young and in such a gruesome way. Until then, she was focused on her career as a genetics researcher and trying to get pregnant during the Mate Run so she could be with the man she loves. After her friend’s murder, Sarah can think of little beyond ripping the man responsible to pieces. So when Daniel stops her from taking her revenge, anger and frustration make her lash out at him even as the chemistry between them roars through her. If she kills the human, she’ll sacrifice the life she imagined with Daniel. If she lets the human go, she’s not sure she’ll be able to live with herself.

Justice will come at a price.

To protect Sarah, Daniel will do whatever it takes, including finding another way to get justice. Even that might not be enough for her, though. But when the murderer comes after them, intend on torture and death, Daniel and Sarah will have to choose…destroy the killer or protect their own future. Because they can’t have both.

In the back of ALONG CAME A TIGER you'll find an excerpt for Book #3, HERE THERE BE TIGERS, which I hope will also wet your appetite for the next release this Fall! If you'd like to receive announcements of new releases, you can always sign up to my newsletter (link in the sidebar).

Thanks again for your patience with me on this second book. I think it was a test :) I hope you enjoy it. And thank you all for supporting the Tigers!

INTERVIEW: For a little more fun, I did an interview with Paulina at Dark Side of Romance. Stop in and see what I'd do if zombies took over the world!

Blurb, Excerpt and the Day is Almost Here!

I'm really starting to get excited about the release of ALONG CAME A TIGER (Tiger Shifters #2). We've officially moved the book on to the copyeditor. Almost there!

Here's the not-quite-official blurb. My editor is still having a go at this, so it might be tweaked (and/or rewritten *g*) before the book goes live.

I feel like it needs a da-da-daaaaa.....there.

I'm also posting an excerpt over at my blog. This might be tweaked a little in the final book too since this is taken from the pre-copyedited manuscript. Enjoy!

Watch this space (or join my newsletter--link in the sidebar) for the upcoming release! And for the curious, I'm going to start dropping a few hints about the next two books. Hint #1: The Chernikov brothers are about to make their first series appearances. They are yummy. You will be glad to see them. :)

Happy Reading!

COVER REVEAL!

I'm very excited to reveal both the title and the cover for Tiger Shifters #2!

But first, I just want to say, again, thank you so much to all of you who have taken a chance on the Tigers. I so appreciate your support. Thank you to everyone who has bought the book and a very sincere thank you to those of you who have posted reviews, good or bad, so that other readers can decide if this series is something they'd be interested in reading. Thank you!

Now, without further ado, here's the cover for Tiger Shifters #2 ALONG CAME A TIGER



Pretty, huh? *g* And yes, that's a white tiger in the background. Our hero shifts to a white tiger. More on the book--including an official blurb and an official release date--coming soon!

For those of you who are paying attention, the book is going to be released a little later than I hoped. After two months--literally!--of my boys and I trading off illnesses (first the oldest boy has a stomach flu, then the baby is sick, then I get sick just as the oldest gets hit with another stomach flu, then the husband gets sick, then the baby has an ear infection, then oldest boy throws up again... literally TWO MONTHS of this), I got the book to my editor late. The poor woman is soooo busy that we're still deep in edits to make sure the book is the best it can be. So the release will be delayed a little bit. Thank you for your patience! I promise to get it out as soon as it is as perfect as we can make it *g*

And I also promise to work in time for all these illnesses in the future :) (Kindergarten sends home way too many bugs!) As a little tease, Tiger Shifters #3 will be released this fall. And yes, illness time has been figured in to that release schedule *g* Thanks, everyone!

Happy Reading!

NEWSLETTER is finally here!

I've finally gotten around to setting up a newsletter. I'm sorry I've been slow to do this. The sign up form is on the sidebar (and another sign up form is located on my blog). My first newsletter will come out in conjunction with the release of the second Tiger Shifters book. Thanks to those of you who contacted me looking for this! That got me moving.

Happy Reading!

Welcome!

Welcome to the home of Kat Simons. Here you'll find information about my books, upcoming releases, appearances, and more.

The first book in my new paranormal romance series, ONCE UPON A TIGER, releases in mid-December, 2013.

She’ll never run.

Among the tiger shifters, Alexis Tarasova is regarded as fierce and dangerous, with a reputation that would make even the most daring tiger think twice about challenging her. Female tiger shifters may be rare and the mating run a critical part of their species’s survival, but Alexis is the only female Tracker and will not back down, even at the threat of tiger law. She will not be forced to mate. So when a handful of males band together to force her to participate in the run, Alexis chooses to stand her ground and fight instead.

He's forbidden to run.

Outcast from the tiger shifters after a vicious childhood attack left him mute, Victor Romanov has never taken part in the mate run. He’s never particularly cared, though, since the woman he loves refuses to take a mate. However, when he learns Alexis may be in danger, all bets are off. Nothing will keep him from her side.

Together, they're unmovable.

The chemistry between them burns wickedly hot and forges them into an unbeatable pair. Alexis knows that being with Victor means she will have to break another one of her people’s laws—a move that might push the tigers too far. But, for Victor, she will risk everything, including her life, and do what she thought she’d never do—run.

Please check it out and let me know what you think. I love hearing from readers, so don't be shy about dropping me an email!

The book will be available from Amazon, B&N, Kobo, Apple, Smashwords, and All Romance Ebooks.

Thanks for visiting. And welcome to the Tigers' world!
