I’m not sure how many writer’s groups across the globe can say this, but we have had no less than 10 published books/book sets released in 2015 already. It’s February. And there’s only 12 of us.
Granted, 6 of those have come from one author (I know, right?) – but it’s still a huge achievement for our group. And there are more launches coming this year.
I’m going to spotlight all the releases here so you can see the big mix of genres and audiences we enjoy in our group.
Book: Summer Star by Lisa Swallow
Genre: Contemporary romance 18+
Blurb: The latest book from the best selling Blue Phoenix rock romance series.
Summer Star is a companion novella to Summer Sky, a retelling of Part One from Dylan’s point of view. Summer Sky is currently FREE (this post published Feb 16 2015).
“I love the world we’re in, where you’ll always be my summer Sky. I could live here forever.”
Dylan Morgan has lived and breathed his life as lead singer of Blue Phoenix for eight years and now it’s suffocating him. On the verge of a breakdown, he cuts off his signature long-hair and walks away from the band.
Returning to a place from his childhood, Dylan’s life collides with Sky Davis, the girl who doesn’t know or care who he is. Usually girls fall at his feet in a star-struck heap, so Dylan is intrigued by and attracted to the girl who’d rather read about hot guys in books than succumb to his charms.
What follows is an unsuccessful battle to keep his rock star ego under control and his hands off Sky. The harder Sky fights her attraction to him, the harder Dylan tries to get her attention. But a girl like Sky needs more than a smouldering look and a bacon sandwich to win her over.
Dylan and Sky find themselves lost together in the fantasy of a holiday romance by the sea, but the reality of who Dylan is threatens to break the illusion at any moment.
This companion novella to Summer Sky is a RETELLING of part one the book from Dylan’s point of view. Summer Sky MUST be read first.

What Finn doesn’t realize, is that Caleb and his family are hiding secrets of their own – some of which Finn may not be able to accept.
