Jake is Biding His Thyme: Book Cover Reveal and Trailer!

There are some truly amazing people in the romance world. Even though I live in New Zealand, far away from the main hub of romance authors, I meet lots of wonderful writers and readers online every day. I’d like to give special thanks to one — young adult author Brinda Berry. She’s a font of knowledge when it comes to computer stuff, especially for writers. She’s also very talented when it comes to book trailers. When she offered to do a trailer for my upcoming release, Biding His Thyme, I jumped at the offer.

But first the cover…

Biding His Thyme

And the blurb…

Book 4 in the Fancy Free series.

Born in the Children of Nature cult, Sorrel “Bitter” Thyme is destined to spend the rest of her life there, but not if she has her way. She’s perfected the dream cream that enhances orgasmic pleasure in those who use it. Now she must approach Fancy Free management with her invention while making sure the cult leader doesn’t learn of her idea and steal Sorrel’s chance of escape.

Jake Ramsey, a Special Air Services soldier on sick leave, agrees to go undercover in the cult to help local police close a case against the leader. Sorrel is his inside contact, a woman who is constantly ridiculed by the other cult members.

The partnership works well and kisses meant to cement their cover take on new possibilities. Jake uncovers secrets, and their loving heats up, passion coalescing into more than friendship. Then Sorrel is tossed into danger. What began as a favor is now deadly serious—-a game Jake must win to keep Sorrel safe.

The nitty-gritty details…

A contemporary, erotic romance by Shelley Munro, due out on 15 March from Ellora’s Cave.

And now the trailer…

Thanks, Brinda!

      15 March Mary, although that will be in e-format rather than print. Only the first one in the series is out in print at the moment.

    *applause* Great job on the trailer by Brinda Berry! And the dream cream–what an idea, Shelley. Scientists, get moving on that…

    And now: you’ve been tagged for The Next Big Thing. Pop over to my blog for details. I feel like I already saw your next big thing, but knowing you, there’s a dozen more WIPs that you’ve got simmering somewhere.

      Thanks so much, Julia. The scientists will need to beat the Fancy Free developers though.

      Thanks for the tag. I’ll pop over later tonight. Got to pack first.

    Shelley, I agree. Brinda is a doll and she did a great job on your book trailer. Did well to capture my attention and make the story appear both suspenseful and sexy.

    Looking forward to your next release. How you get all these books out, I’ll never know lol!

      Brinda is a doll!
      I’m always working on a book. Actually, it doesn’t feel like work. Maybe that’s the secret.
