One-Liner Wednesday – New book next week!

Nailed – Book Four of the Once a Week at Woody’s series is dropping next week.

And here’s the cover!

Alexa has a great job, great friends who she loves going to Woody O’Flanagan’s Pub to watch the strippers with, and a crush on one particular stripper/carpenter. If only she could get her living arrangements sorted out and figure out why her crush is so secretive, her life would be perfect.

Bruce has a secret. His baby daughter didn’t start out as a secret, but when he goes out on a coffee date with Alexa and finds out she doesn’t like kids, he clams up. But he’s okay only seeing Alexa on the Saturday nights he works at O’Flanagan’s anyway, right?

When Alexa makes a complete fool of herself at a Saturday night show, she swears she’ll never show her face to Bruce again. But fate has other plans. Ones that tie in with her living arrangements and Bruce’s full-time job … with the other kind of wood.

Hilarious and sexy, this single dad, forced proximity romance takes place at the pub where everyone feels like family and no one goes home without a happy ending.

It’s not up for sale yet – link to come!

(Sorry for the loooong one-liner.)

Celebrate with me!

I’m having a birthday birthday and a book birthday!

First, my actual birthday is Sunday the 22nd, but I’m celebrating with sushi and cake on Saturday because the sushi place is closed on Sundays. I don’t get sushi very often, so it’ll be a real treat for me. The cake is totally for the kids’ sake. Totally. *uncrosses fingers from behind my back*

Since you can’t be here to celebrate with me (but only because you wouldn’t all fit in my kitchen), I’ve decided to drop the prices on the first two books in both of my series!

The Magician’s Curse: A Paranormal Romance (Book 1) is available for 99 cents until January 31st on Kindle, Kobo, Nook, and Apple.

The Magician’s Blood: A Paranormal Romance (Book 2) is available for 99 cents until January 21st on Kindle, Kobo, Nook, and Apple.

Saddled: A Romantic Comedy (Book 1), a forbidden office/male stripper romance, is available for 99 cents until January 31st on Kindle, Kobo, Nook, and Apple.

Rocked: A Romantic Comedy (Book 2), a best friend’s brother/male stripper romance, is available for 99 cents until January 21st on Kindle, Kobo, Nook, and Apple.

You won’t get the two Book 2s for less than 99 cents, and they may never go on sale again, so grab them while you can!

My other reason to celebrate is also half the reason I’ve been so busy lately.

It’s a new book!

I’m so excited to release this one. I loved writing it, I fell in love with the adorable characters, and I really never wanted the story to end. In fact, as I edited it, I almost doubled the word count.

For the first time on my blog, I present to you the third book in the “Once a Week at Woody’s” series, Stroked!

A stripper and a lawyer walk into a bar …

Casper thinks of Woody O’Flanagan’s Pub as home, but he has a shadier stripping job to supplement his income. One he’d quit if he could just sell his artwork. Enter Tristan, the handsome lawyer who’s itching to see Casper’s etchings…

Tristan is an up-and-comer at his law firm, but his speech impediment and sidetracked dreams are holding him back in career and love. Until he meets Casper, a gorgeous stripper who understands every word he says…

When Casper and Tristan are caught in a compromising position by the police due to Casper’s questionable job, the first thing out of Tristan’s mouth ensures their arrest. Getting thrown in jail teaches them that it’s time to follow their passions. But will their passions include each other?

Opposites attract in this hilarious and steamy m/m romance, the third standalone book in Linda G. Hill’s “Once a Week at Woody’s” series.

Grab it now!

Author’s note: This story includes a parent with dementia.

Stroked: A Romantic Comedy (Book 3) is available for pre-order. Buy it now on Kindle or Kobo (Nook and Apple to follow) and have it delivered to your device on January 31st!

Thanks so much for celebrating with me!

Two books 99 cents each and a new book!

As you may have noticed, I haven’t been around a lot lately here on the blog. But let me tell you, I’ve been busy.

And it’s finally paying off. So I’m celebrating with a sale!

Waaaay, back in February, I released the box set/bundle/omnibus edition of “The Great Dagmaru” series. And I even made my own covers for it! But anyway, it’s available for less than it costs to buy all three books individually. By, I think 36%, but I’m really not mathing very well these days. The box set is $6.99, but the regular price of the three books is $10.97, so you save $4. And it’s almost 1,000 pages long!

Anyhoo, yeah. And I haven’t even got to the 99-cent thing yet! Bear with me.

So the box set. There’s a buy-2-get-1-free deal on Kobo right now, and “The Great Dagmaru” is included in the sale! So if you have a Kobo account or you’re interested in getting one … and you like paranormal romance novels … check it out!

My other book that’s on sale for 99 cents is the first book in my “Once a Week at Woody’s” series, Saddled!

Going to work just got a lot more exciting.

The no-dating policy at the Studletter Condom Company isn’t a problem for Sandra until Michael walks in, all good looks and bulging biceps. But he’s a temp—surely she can hold out until his contract ends …

Eager to quit moonlighting as a cowboy stripper, Michael, aka Saddle McFleshbomb, buckles up to learn the ins and outs of his new career. Only it’s harder than he expected when he meets Sandra, a stunning beauty with a laugh that heats him to the bone.

When Sandra turns up at Woody’s Pub and catches him in the act of disrobing onstage for a room full of men, Michael sees his solution: maintain the pretense that he’s gay so they can “date” without defying the office romance policy.

But the clock is ticking on his fib. And it’s sure to bite him in the scantily clad behind.

If you like low-angst romantic comedy, hot office flirtations, and a long slow burn, you’ll love Saddled, the first book in Linda G. Hill’s “Once a Week at Woody’s” series.

Get it now for just 99 pennies on Kindle, Kobo, Apple, Barnes & Noble, or Smashwords. Sale ends May 11th, so don’t wait!

Seth is the mayor’s son, but he’s Mr. Mystery onstage. His job as a stripper at Woody O’Flanagan’s Pub totally rocks, but he’s plagued by his sister’s fear that he’ll ruin their dad’s reputation and his career.

Monica will do anything for her best friend. So she marches down to the pub to drag Seth off the stage before he can shed a stitch. Instead, she’s thunderstruck by his moves.

As Monica and Seth trip over their hots for each other, can they outrun other people’s expectations and find true love?
