Here’s the new cover.

I was going to title the book The Alpha’s Oath which looks fine in writing, but try repeating it!!! I dare you to say it without sounding as though you have a mouthful of cotton wool.

via GIPHY

Here’s part of a scene which involves Trixie and sibling rivalry. I’ve skimmed through this snippet, but it’s not been edited.

“Please get Trixie. I don’t want her to be alone. She’s so sad.”
“I’m on it.”
“Maybe we should put her here.” The omega patted the mattress. “She used to snuggle beside me when I was pregnant.”
The alpha shook his head. “That’s not a good idea, Max. Her trotters are sharp, and I don’t want her near you or the baby. Besides, if she’s really annoyed, she might hurt you deliberately.”
Never. “She wouldn’t do that, Seb. I don’t believe she’d be violent.”
A thump near the door had both alpha and omega glance up. Trixie had her doll between her teeth and was shaking it. A dolly arm landed on top of the laundry basket. Bits of shredded, woolen hair showered the piglet’s head, and Trixie peered between the strands. She reminds me of an aging pop musician.
Pieces of fabric flew across the room as the doll’s head plopped on the floor, her mouth arranged in a permanent scream.
Seb turned to his mate. “You were saying?”

Here’s a sneak peek at the cover of my next book.

Here’s Seb.

And Trixie’s back!!!!!!!!!

I have a confession.

I wasn’t planning on adding Trixie to the cover of Book 2. I didn’t think there would be space. But I’ve had a positive reaction to her not only on the cover, but also her involvement in the story.

So, she’s front and center.

There are plenty of cute piggy pics on the photo sites. But it took me hours to find the one for Book 1 and now this new one.

Originally, I wanted to use one with the piglet wearing a helmet (‘cos she rides with Seb and Max on the motorbike), but I couldn’t identify the source. And in the end, it was fine as that photo was a very different style to the one used in Book 1.

I hope you like Trixie with a flower in her hair.

Luckily, I’ve already sussed out one for the third and final book in the trilogy.

No more piglet photo hunts for me!

Here’s a snippet from the next book.

Warning! This is very rough. I just wrote it a few minutes ago, so apologies if it needs a lot of work.

Max rifled through the closet hoping to find something comfortable to wear while Seb rummaged in the fridge searching for things to make a meal. “There’s plenty to eat. Eggs and a packet of bacon.”
Both the alpha and the omega froze.
“Shit.”
“Seb, how could you?”
“I wasn’t thinking.”
“That’s so insensitive.”
“Forgive me if I’ve been a little preoccupied today.”
“We’re all on edge but…”
“Sorry.”
“You said the ‘B’ word,” Max hissed, ” So it’s not me who’s owed an apology.”
The pair glanced at Trixie huddled in the corner.
“My mistake. Sorry, little girl.”
Max scooped up the piglet and peppered her with kisses.

The Alpha’s Vow. An Alpha/Omega Mpreg. Out now. Free in Kindle Unlimited.

What happens when you’re thrown together and there’s no escape?

Seb is a wealthy alpha who pursued his passion for working the land despite his family’s objections. Covered in tattoos, he favors short-term relationships over anything permanent.

But when Max, a Shakespeare-quoting backpacker, meets Seb in less than desirable circumstances, a misunderstanding has the omega accepting an offer that sends him hurtling in a new direction.

And then there’s Trixie, a tiny, pink piglet who has the run of Seb’s home and has captured his heart. She adores apples, riding on the alpha’s motorbike and plenty of snuggles. And it’s love at first sight when she comes face to face with Max.

Set against the backdrop of an unspoiled landscape and a lake that’s both serene and treacherous, Seb and Max’s relationship blossoms until a storm disrupts not only the surroundings, but also their future.

This is a 28,000-word, non-shifter, omegaverse novella, and it’s the first book in the Idriador series.

Here’s another question and answer from an author interview I did a month or so ago.

Q: What’s your writing schedule like?

A: I’m not a fast writer, and I’m the synonym queen! I’ll spend ages trying not to repeat something. Even when I know a particular English word doesn’t have many synonyms, I’ll check it anyway in case a new one has been created since I last checked!!!!

When I start a writing session, I always go back over what I did the previous day, and I’ll keep adding to it until I’m satisfied it’s a fully-rounded scene.

The Alpha’s Vow is complete but it’s not yet live. I’ll post a link here on my site and on FB when it’s been published.

Here’s another short excerpt from the book.

***

Though Max had left home a few years ago, his father had kept tabs on him. No matter what job he was working at or where he was living, he sensed he was being watched and though he hadn’t expected it, it didn’t surprise him. That’s how he operates. He can’t bear to lose something that belongs to him.
But being reminded of his family had Max rubbing the back of his neck and grinding his teeth. Forget them. Time for a shower.

Here’s The Alpha’s Vow cover.

This week’s snippet is from the beginning of Chapter 2. And just a reminder, I haven’t edited it or done a final read-through.

***

This place is amazing. Max stared at the lake through an open window. If my father could see me now. The thought made the omega poke his head outside. I hope he hasn’t got someone spying on me. But apart from animal noises and the lazy splashes of water hitting the shore, there was nothing out of the ordinary.

Here’s something I wrote a while ago when I was asked the following question.

Q: Are you a plotter or fly by the seat of your pants kind of writer?

A: Definitely a fly-by-the-seat-of-my-pants writer. It’s interesting because in everything else I do, I’m so organized. But I can’t plan out a story. I just end up staring at the screen.

For example, when I started The Omega’s Triumph, I knew two things: 1) they would arrive in The Old Country; and 2) they would leave. That’s the beginning and end of the book. I had no clue as to what would happen in between.

As I write, I have ‘Ah-ha’ moments e.g. “Oh, my God, I can do that!”.

When I wrote the second last scene in ‘Triumph’ with Jake in the woods, the rest of the book was done. I’d done a grammar check and read through the completed chapters using text-to-speech (which I loathe).

I’d been avoiding that scene as I had no clue how he was getting from A to B. I started writing, then had to run an errand and while I was gone, I kept thinking, “That doesn’t work.” But when I got back and read what I’d done, it was fine. I added a few sentences and it was finished.

I’ve love to follow an outline as my way of writing can be stressful when I have to get myself out of a plot hole, but I’ve accepted it’s not going to happen.
