Hey friends! I'm writing to you from my new recliner and it's so comfortable! Words are being written and naps are being had. Life is good.

So I don't have any kids going back to school but these next few weeks are still crazy for me!

Book 2 in the Shifting Pines series, Claiming Her Cougar is up for preorder and releasing August 29. That's less than a week! It's another blast from the past featuring Liam Morgan and Mallory Carter - yes, you know them from the hockey books but this is their story from around two years before Sexy Pucking Polar Bear. Theirs is a one night stand that accidentally becomes a co-worker secret no strings romance. Part of the story is based on a real life personal experience. Wait until you hear what that is! LOLOL. Isn't the cover hot?!

Here's their blurb:

When fate (and a mouse) reunite a charming cougar shifter with his sexy Las Vegas hook up can they make what was a one time thing into something much more permanent?

Mallory:

No names, no details, no future. It was just a hook up one night in a Vegas nightclub. Who could blame me? The guy at the bar was just what I needed to scratch the itch a long romantic dry spell left me with. It did the trick and what happened in Vegas stayed in Vegas…

Until a mouse went nowhere a rodent should go and reunited us six months later. Any thoughts of picking up where we left off vanished when I discover he’s a VP in the company I work for. I’ve worked too hard on my career to tarnish my reputation and risk my family’s respect with a fling that will have people thinking I’m sleeping my way through the executive team. The past is going to have to remain just that because there can be no future.

Liam:

Once I felt the curvy auburn-haired beauty against me and knew how sweet her kisses were I knew I wanted more. But she rushed away like a sexy Cinderella leaving me alone in the dark corner of a noisy nightclub with only her blue lace panties to remember her by.

I couldn’t believe my luck to have finally found her here in my hometown. However, my luck runs out when she refuses to date me because of my position in our company. Little does she know I have plans that will remove that barrier and change both of our futures.

Can I convince her to trust fate—and me—and give us a chance?

Claiming Her Cougar is a sexy, open-door, workplace romcom with a charming cougar shifter and the determined woman with mama drama trying not to love him.

What else is keeping me busy?

Book 4 in the Paranormal Hockey League series, Bashful Pucking Bigfoot, is going to get copy edits with Emily on September 1 to get ready for its release on December 12, 2025. Sigh. Ollie is just an ooey gooey cinnamon roll. It's a best friends/mutual pining story with a fake engagement and virgin hero thrown in. If that sounds like your sort of thing then you're going to love Ollie and Phoebe! Click the link or the cover to check it out!

Also going to the editor on September 1 is the first draft of Bigfoot Finds Her Groom. It is going to my wonderful developmental editor, Whitney. I don't have a blurb or cover yet but I'll share them when I do. It will be releasing in February 2026 as part of the Monster Brides series. Violet is the younger sister of Ollie from Bashful Pucking Bigfoot and Finn from Bigfoot Finds A Bride. It's going to take place in Shifting Pines and have cameos from the Paranormal Hockey League series folks. You know me, people are crossing over and popping up all over the place, I can't help it!

The unofficial first book in the Shifting Pines series is Bigfoot Finds A Bride, part of the Monster Brides series and an Amazon exclusive for now. It's also connects with my Paranormal Hockey League series through Bashful Pucking Bigfoot. While you're waiting for Ollie and Phoebe, check out the story of their older siblings falling in love! Bigfoot Finds A Bride is a second chance romance with sexy Bigfoot shifter cat dad Finn and runaway bride Shelby looking for a place to be herself.

Do you love small town shifter romance? The official first Shifting Pines book, Landing Her Eagle released earlier this summer. I love this cover. This story features Daphne and Logan who you may recognize from the hockey stories. Their best friends to lovers romance takes place two years before Sexy Pucking Polar Bear so it's a blast from the past. Even though it's the most recent release it's actually the first book I wrote and it holds such a special place in my heart. Daphne is the character that surprises me the most as I write my books. She keeps popping up out of nowhere spilling the tea and she cracks me up. I think she's the unofficial cruise director of the Shifting Pines Universe. LOL.

If you haven't started my Paranormal Hockey Series yet and want to meet my sexy, funny shifter hockey players here's where to start! Click on the covers for links to get more info.

If you're like, "Wow, Jenny, you are getting a lot of books and they connect, is there a reading order?" I will say yes, there is! If you're like me and like to read in universal timeline order and are okay playing hopscotch between series here's my "universe" in timeline order. But each story is a standalone for the couple so you don't need to read in order. There are cameos because these people work together, are related to each other, and are friends, they're in each other's lives, but reading out of order doesn't ruin anything. Other than Bigfoot Finds A Bride which is in KU and thus an Amazon exclusive, my other books are available widely and can be borrowed in Kobo Plus and some are in the Hoopla catalog to borrow form libraries. You can also request your library to order them for Overdrive/Libby:

Bigfoot Finds A Bride (Monster Brides/Shifting Pines adjacent - Finn and Shelby)

Landing Her Eagle (Shifting Pines book 1 - Daphne and Logan)

Claiming Her Cougar (Shifting Pines book 2 - Mallory and Liam)

That's it for now! Back to writing Violet's story. I made myself cry earlier brainstorming a scene. Yes, I make stuff up as I go. I have a general plan but a lot of the time I don't know details until the characters (especially Daphne!) pop up and tell me what the situation is.
