You can find it at the sale price at Amazon, B&N, Kobo, and All Romance eBooks. (If it’s not there right this minute, it’s in process.)

The sale only lasts until Wednesday, so don’t miss out!

The Plume: The Third Anthology

Here’s the cover for the third Plume Anthology.

The Plume: The Third Anthology by Ella Ardent

Isn’t it pretty? This anthology will include Flashback, Switch and Celebration. It’ll be available in a digital edition and also a trade paperback edition. Right now, it’s available at Createspace in print, but will perk through to other portals, probably by the end of the month.

The Wedding Anthology

While the blog hop was in progress, this anthology was published. It hasn’t yet been approved for distribution from Smashwords, so will take a few weeks to get to B&N, Apple and KOBO.

Available at Amazon.
Available at Createspace.

Catching Up

I hope those of you in the US had a wonderful Thanksgiving this weekend!

Here I promised you an update last week, and the time slipped away on me. Sorry about that – I’ve been getting organized. It is such a busy time of year and I clearly need to work on my time management.

Where are we at? Well, FLASHBACK has not only been approved for premium distribution from Smashwords, but it has shipped to many portals this week. It went to Apple on November 16, B&N on November 19, KOBO on November 22. So, depending upon the time delay at each portal, you should start seeing it on sale at those outlets by the end of this week.

Next up will be FOREVER BOUND. No one from the Plume gets to jump the queue this time! I’m working on it now, and it will be a December release. As usual, I’ll let you know when it’s written and is being formatted.

Once FOREVER BOUND is completed, I can get THE WEDDING anthology compiled and the print edition formatted.

The next release will be #8 in The Plume series, SWITCH. I’m going to say January for its release, even though a chunk of it is already written (and more envisioned) because this is a busy time of year. I still need to work with the artist on the cover, so will add a bit of time in case she’s booked up (or busy herself). Again, I’ll give you a shout when it’s being formatted and close to release.

Then we’ll see about Plume #9, which is the big finish and is called CELEBRATION.

One thing I have learned this year is that writing two different series at the same time is a bad idea for me. I won’t do that again!

That probably answered the questions most of you have posted, but I’ll go peek at comments now.

The Plume: The Second Anthology

This anthology is being published today. I’ll update the links as they go live.

THE PLUME: THE SECOND ANTHOLOGY includes the second three novellas in this series: Deception, Exhibition and Exposure. It’s available in both a digital and a trade paperback edition.

Available from Amazon.
Available from Createspace.
Available from Smashwords.
Available from All Romance eBooks.
Also available digitally from Apple, Barnes & Noble, Sony and KOBO.

Cover for The Plume: The Second Anthology

Isn’t this one gorgeous?

Files are being formatted now – it takes a bit longer to get them ready for the printed book. This anthology includes the next three novellas – DECEPTION, EXHIBITION and EXPOSURE, all in one file or volume. It’ll be priced a little bit better in digital than buying them individually.

I’m hoping this anthology will be available in about a week, but I’ll let you know when it is.

I had to show you the cover right away, though! I love it.

An Update

I’m writing away, honest and true! And here’s what you can expect in the next couple of weeks.

ALWAYS A BRIDESMAID is just a tweak away. Fiona gave me some trouble, but we’re all sorted out now. (As soon as Kade got determined, everything was fine.) I expect to publish AAB – which is the second story in The Wedding trilogy – by Monday.

After that will be FOREVER BOUND, #3 in The Wedding trilogy. This one is perking along – lots of good BDSM fun for the happy couple – so it will be published soon. Two weeks, worst case. I’m aiming for it to be a week after AAB but Stuff Happens.

Then, it’s time for EXPOSURE, story #6 in The Plume series. My cover artist is on vacation, so we still need to do the cover. (And I think she’s worth waiting for! The Plume covers are awesome, IMO.) The story is pretty much ready to go, so (fingers crossed) you’ll have another Plume fix by the end of the month.

In September, there will be new anthologies, in simultaneous print and digital, for The Wedding and The Plume: Second Anthology.

Plume #7 will be an October release.

Now you know!

Hot Summer Nights BlogHop

Skye Warren has arranged an erotica and erotic romance bloghop, to start the summer off right, and I’ve joined the conga line. There are over 100 participating erotica authors and bloggers, AND there are prizes, too!

First, let’s talk about summer. Summer has strong associations for me, so I’ll try to work them all into this post.

First off, summer is a time of new experiences and a chance to try new things. I remember that sense of freedom at the end of the last day of school and the sense that anything could happen in the months ahead. Summer is exciting. Summer is a time to experiment and sample new experiences.

Like, maybe, joining a private BDSM club…

I write linked series with continuing characters. My series, The Plume, is set at a private BDSM club called (surprise) The Plume. Have you ever fantasized about joining such a club? In the first erotic novella of the series, SUBMISSION, Joanna the reporter goes undercover to get the real story of the Plume. The truth is that she has some secret fantasies of her own, which is why she volunteered for the assignment. It’s fall when Joanna first enters the Plume, but you can follow her inside the notorious club and share her experience this summer. You might find it pretty hot inside the Plume! (Or you might find the co-owner, Rex, to be pretty hot.)

These novellas are erotica – although individual characters will find their happily-ever-afters over the course of the series, each novella might not end with one. Each novella does, however, have plenty of sex, and at least one interval of wild abandon within the Plume.

Currently, the first four novellas set at the Plume are available: SUBMISSION, SURRENDER, SEDUCTION and DECEPTION. The first three novellas are also available in an anthology, either digitally or in print.

The next installment in the Plume series is EXHIBITION, which will be published very soon.

Summer is also about free samples, and by perfect coincidence, SUBMISSION is currently free. Read more about the Plume series and get the links, right here.

 

 

Summer is a time for weddings, as well. My upcoming series of erotic romances takes place at a wedding and is called The Wedding. The bride’s fantasy is to have a perfect  wedding at a romantic Caribbean resort, so her friends and family make the trip to see her exchange vows with her one true love. Of course, weddings are emotional events and ones that seem to invite disaster – this wedding doesn’t shape up to be quite as perfect as planned. There are guests determined to make the most of the romantic setting, guests indulging themselves with vacation sex, plus a “happy couple” with major doubts. Rules get broken, people take chances and everything comes right in the end. The Wedding is coming soon – eye candy is right here.

Summer is about prizes. You can win a signed print copy of THE PLUME: THE FIRST ANTHOLOGY by adding a comment to this blog post. Let’s talk about experimentation – in your comment to enter the contest, tell me what you’d like to try out for the first time this summer.

You have until June 24 to enter.

Finally, summer is often about roadtrips. You can do that vicariously by continuing along the bloghop road to visit other participating authors and bloggers. There are lots of authors participating, a prize at every blog AND an overall gift basket of digital books to keep you busy reading for a while. Here’s the number one stop on the list and here’s the linky list of participants.

Have fun!

The First Anthology of The Plume in Print!

The print edition of the First Anthology of the Plume is now available!

The book is in trade paperback format and I’m really pleased with how it looks. On the back cover, there are thumbnails of each of the three novella covers, along with the copy for each. The book is priced at $9.99US.

All anthologies will be in the same size as this one – so they line up on the bookshelf – and the designer will ensure that the graphics look good together too.

You can buy it now directly from Createspace, right here.

It will appear on Amazon in the next week or so, as another edition on this page.

Typos

It’s official – I hate typos.

It doesn’t seem to matter how many times a piece is proofread, there’s always another one lurking! The sneaky typos are the ones that are real words but aren’t the right word in the right place. (There would be three sneaky typos, for example, if I had typed “…but aren’t the right works in the rite play.”) Spellcheckers miss those ones.

I’ve been proofreading the first three novellas – again – as prep for the anthology and found a few more. (grrr) So, they’re fixed in the anthology – both digital and POD editions. Plus, I’ve uploaded new versions of the first three novellas to Kindle and Smashwords, just FYI.

And now, on to new work!
