Stuff I Love
Hey There Insider,
So, I live in a high rise where they switch the entire building from heat to air conditioning once a year, and reverse it six months later. Last month, when they went to switch on the A/C, they broke it - irreparably. Chicago in June with air conditioning is less than ideal, to say the least.
So Gracie and I have learned to sit in front of the fans, visit friends and family while social distancing, and even to take rides in the air conditioned car - not a cat's favorite place! Despite all that moving around, I have managed to put the final touches on Dare to Hope and make it available for preorder!

Many Thanks
Many thanks to those of you who agreed to be Advanced Copy Readers for Dare to Hope. If you haven't downloaded your ARC version, there is still time. I will send another reminder email this week, just to keep you on track. You volunteers, and your reviews, help with the Dare to Hope launch, so thank you again!
Thanks, too, to those of you who responded to the survey on how you prefer I communicate with you. Email and newsletters were the runaway favorite for communication, followed by Facebook. The dilemma, as many people hate Facebook as love it, so I will do my best to communicate the important stuff via email.
Want to learn more about them? I was planning to mini-blog about them on my Facebook Madison Michael VIP Readers page (follow me here) but then it dawned on me that social media preferences are shifting with the winds these days. I wonder if you would prefer short blasts in these emails, a summer blog about the Dare series, or social media mini-blogs?

Billionaire Memphis Foster is facing serious jail time if they can’t prove his innocence.
And to make matters worse, the sleazy prosecutor has managed to get his bail revoked.
Thank God his lawyer worked out a deal for house arrest. He even arranged an innovative new GPS tracker that didn’t stick out like a sore thumb like the standard ankle monitor.
How bad can house arrest be when you’re a billionaire, right?
Especially in Las Vegas where you can get literally anything delivered.
He hired Rylee foster to teach him and some friends how to play poker but she stirs a need in him that he’s kept tamped down for some time. How can he convince her to live with him while he’s under house arrest? He’s not keen to tell her that’s why he won’t be going anywhere for the next four weeks and she seems oblivious to his legal troubles.
Perhaps he can entice her with her love for poker. (read more)

Feel My Love: A Standalone Interconnected Emotional Love Story (Lovelly Series Book 5) by Clara Stone
When it comes to family, truth matters.
For Vincent Gallo, family is everything. It’s the one thing he and the Lovellys have always seen eye to eye on. And when it comes to saving his half-brothers from their abusive mom, he’s determined to do anything—even be indebted to a Lovelly.
But the second Ivy Rose bumps into him, she’s all he can think about. Mesmerizing, gorgeous, and seemingly mute, it’s not until he gets home that he realizes, she’s a Lovelly, too. Suddenly, he understands what drew Ace and Jessica to the Lovellys. But as a long-lost half-sister, Ivy’s life hasn’t seen the privilege bestowed upon her brothers. In fact, in some ways, it mirrors Vincent’s own.
With his half-brothers’ future at stake, can he really afford to let his heart win? Or is falling for Ivy Rose a distraction that’ll cost him everything?
Story Origin - An App for Authors and Readers
Readers and authors have been using Bookfunnel for years, for distributing books to readers and for finding great cross-author promotions. But recently, authors have been discovering Story Origin, a marketing tool/community for authors to work together to increase sales and find reviewers for their books, whether that’s ebook or audio book. What makes it unique compared to Bookfunnel or Prolicworks, is the review capability.
Readers can find books to review, authors can find reviewers and Story Origin makes it easier for both parties. Reviewers can select by genre, and select their review site. Authors can approve a reviewer, and see their track record for submitting reviews. A win-win for increasing book reviews, a critical resource for helping readers discover great stories.
If you haven’t tried it yet, StoryOriginApp.Com is the place to be. And just to show I put my money where my mouth is, I am participating in the Smoldering Alpha Males and Strong Females group promotion on Story Origins right now, and have Broken Time available for review. Check it out and let me know what you think. Did I mention that, for now at least, it's FREE.
New Graphics
I love my new graphics! What do you think of the beautiful work here and on Facebook by graphic artist Kyriakina Valavanis. I love it and think it gives my brand a little more romantic feel. What do you think?
P.S. You non-Amazon readers, don't forget to preorder Dare to Hope before July 9th!
