Hi Everyone
This past month has flown past and I have been kept incredibly busy.
My visit to daughter and family in New Zealand was way too short as always but we had a fabulous time.
While at home, hubs has been doing a bit of maintenance and painting on the place which has kept him busy and we have also done our annual checks on health while here. Fortunately, I appear to be in as excellent health as I feel and some tests are not required again for 2 and 5 years.
My niece visited for hubs birthday with her husband and our grand-niece Evie. She is growing up fast, is 9 months old now, and has no interest in crawling...It's walking all the way for her! She has 'walking' toys that she insists on pushing everywhere and it won't be long before she is off on her own. She was her usual happy self and an absolute delight to have around. We took some very special pics with her.
Blaze is now ready for release and I am working on Colt. These books all feature characters from the town of Deadwood but are in different multi-author series.
I have also been accepted into a single dad multi-author which is sweet contemporary and I am looking forward to this one as the sparks will fly between daughter and teacher and a muddling dad. It is now up for pre-order and cover will be revealed in near future.
Below is a generic place holder cover and the series blurb, along with my book and others that are live for pre-order. In my next newsletter I hope to have the series page link for you.
We leave home in 5 days and our first stop is Millmerran in Qld, a small country river town where we will stay for a week. We are working our way south to spend Christmas/New Year and catch up with youngest son, dil, and two teenage grandchildren-cannot wait!
I have one general entry ticket for the Books in Sight Signing that I will be attending in Melbourne in February so if you would like this, please flick me an email. If more than one response, I will choose randomly.
As usual, if you ever want to touch base, I am more than happy to answer questions or just share a chat and if I am in your town, I'd love to catch up so contact me at horsnells@yahoo.com.au
Until next time, thank you so very much for your ongoing support.

Dallas Flint had been the undertaker in Deadwood, South Dakota for more than a decade, and after the loss of his best friend, he begins to wonder what kind of life it was for a young man...caring for deceased souls every day.
Those around him insisted he'd been happy in his chosen field, and it was grief for his loss that was causing him to question his life. They advised the Lord would soon set him back on the right path.
But was it the right path for him now?
He craved a wife, children, and a home full of life, not the doom and gloom of death that seemed to be around his every corner.
Elouise Farrer was trouble with a T bigger than Texas, and when she turns up on his doorstep, Dallas' world is not only turned upside down, but inside out.
Wealthy.
Spoiled.
Self-centred.
Demanding.
All words Dallas would use to describe the beautiful but petulant young woman.
Can the pair stop warring with each other long enough to see they are a match made in Heaven?
Will Elouise come to the realization that the town of Deadwood is not where she belongs, and catch the next stage out of town, taking her broken heart with her?

What happens in Vegas? Apparently, fairy tales gone wild…
Moving to Vegas was supposed to kickstart my singing career, not drop me into a twisted fairytale. But here I am, Elspeth “Ellie” Moon, at a Halloween party, locking lips with Prince Charming. Tall, gorgeous, and those tongue kisses? Wow. Things are going swimmingly, right up until he croaks—literally—and turns into a frog.
Yeah, you heard me. A frog.
Turns out, he’s cursed by his ex-girlfriend, the Wicked Witch, and every time I kiss him, poof—frog mode activated. If we ever hope to take things past first base, we’ve got to break the spell. The only problem? His ex is still lurking around, and she’s got a broomstick with my name on it.
Between magical mishaps, weird shifters, and seriously sexy tension, it’s going to be a wild Halloween. Vegas never looked this freaky - in more ways than one.

RUE:
I’m promised to the son of my father’s enemy to pay off his debt. However, I detest Azrael and could never be his bride.
I run away into the forest to think, where I fall into a ravine and injure my leg.
A giant, green brute of a man finds me. He tells me he tends a reindeer farm and is searching for one of his reindeer who got lost. I’m sure he’s going to kill me. However, instead he takes me to his cabin and binds my wounds. He’s kind and gentle, and I find myself falling for him even though I know I shouldn’t.
To make matters worse, a snowstorm traps us in the orc’s cabin and Christmas is in two days. And I’m keeping a secret…one so big that if revealed could destroy everything…
NOEL:

But when my cousin is returned to us by Pandemonium Academy in a glass coffin, in an enchanted sleep she isn't expected to wake up from, I grab her diary and head to the academy myself.
Because her diary tells of four cruel boys who bullied her and broke her heart until she sought oblivion through a spell.
Four magical boys, because that's the world we live in now, heirs of powerful families attending this elite academy where the privileged scions of the human and magical races are brought together in the noble pursuit of education.
As for me, I cheat to get on the student roster, and once I'm in, well… it's war, baby. I'll get those four sons of guns, steal their secrets, make them hurt. I'll transform into an avenging angel for my cousin, for all the girls they've wronged, and I bet there are plenty of those.
While growing up, my cousin was my only friend. Now I'll be her champion.
Only these boys aren't exactly as I pictured them. Devastatingly handsome, deliciously brooding, strangely haunted, they're getting under my skin and through my defenses.
Kissing them surely wasn't part of my plan…
Getting into bed with them even less.
I shouldn't want them to want me for who I really am, to feel anything for me. That's nonsense. I'm not here to court them; I'm here to hurt them.
So why is it so hard to go through with my plan?
* This collection contains all four books in the Pandemonium Academy Royals series, plus a short prequel and a short funny epilogue (with chibis)! These books are paranormal reverse harem romance novels, meaning the main character has more than one love interest. There is a happily ever after at the end of the series. For TW, look inside the book. By book 3 there will be mm scenes and group scenes. For 18+ only. The series uses alternating points of view *
