My Foray into Indie Publishing/W*n a #Book Today! #Amwriting #Kindle #Nook #Indieauthors

Alisha: Please welcome the very talented Michelle Miles to my blog today! I'm thrilled to have her here today!



Michelle: Hello! Alisha was kind enough to ask me over to her blog today so I thought I’d take this opportunity to talk about why I decided to go into indie publishing.

When I first started writing many years ago, I wanted a NY pub. I wanted to be with TOR, specifically (still do). But I was so green. I had no idea what I was doing. And writing fantasy? PSHAW. I couldn’t figure out how to world build to save my life. But all that comes with experience. And the more I wrote the more experience I gained.

Fast forward to last year. I’d been tinkering with the idea of self-pubbing some things. Specifically books on which I had the rights back. Mostly that was a waiting game on the publisher. I’d gotten the rights back on one book but was still waiting for the other two. In the meantime, I wrote and submitted a little paranormal romance to my current editor. She rejected it. I revised it. She rejected it again.

So then it came to decision time. Do I continue to submit it? OR do I go out on a limb and publish it myself? I decided I’d give indie a chance. What could it hurt right? It felt the right time to do it for me. I’d seen my friends do it successfully. One of my other pals was giving me a push into the indie direction. Since I had this book rejected and I’d wanted to write and publish a trilogy of novellas, I decided to take the plunge.

The Guardians of Atlantis was born. I came up with a mad scientist who wanted to kidnap human females and mix human DNA with Atlantean DNA. And, naturally, our heroes can’t allow this experiment to happen.


Sabre (Tempting Eden – Available Now). Strong, sexy and serious. He’s no-nonsense. He is chosen as the one to lead the Guardians when his general is arrested for treason. When he refuses to help the lead geneticist and the president of Atlantis in this quest to kidnap women, the life of his sister is threatened. He has no choice but to cooperate. When he meets Eden and can hear her every erotic thought, it’s enough to touch her to ecstasies she’s never before experienced. But it quickly changes to something more and something deeper. He intends to keep her for himself…no matter the price.


Lucian (Seducing Eve – Available Now). Quick-witted and fiercely protective. He meets Eve in the lab and is immediately taken by her. He admires her strength of will to break free of her bonds in Atlantis. When the two are thrown together, becoming fugitives, Lucian finds he can’t stop his heart from ruling his mind. He’s enamored with Eve as she is with him. She agrees to team up to help save the women from the lab.

Raven (Ravishing Helene – Coming Soon). A man of very few words. He’s all action and no talk. He prefers to shoot now and ask questions later. When Sabre’s sister, Helene, is captured and held hostage by the scientists, Raven is sent to retrieve her. It should be a simple job—get in, get the girl, get out. But nothing goes as planned. Rescuing Helene turns into a battle of wills—she wants to go topside and she wants him to take her. And she’ll do whatever it takes to get her way—even seduce him.

I’m really excited about this series. It has a little of everything—action, adventure, romance, good guys, bad guys, strong women. It’s been a lot of fun to write.
I guess you could say I’m a “mixed bag” author. I do some myself as well as write for smaller presses. I still want the bigger houses, too. It’s something I haven’t given up on yet. Whichever way I go, though, I enjoy the process every step of the way. It’s a lot of work but I know in the end, it will all be worth it.

Today I’m doing a giveaway. I’ll give one copy away each of Tempting Eden and Seducing Eve in whichever format preferred.

To enter, just leave a comment and tell me what’s on your summer reading list. Inquiring minds want to know!

#TracyLawrence Blew Me Away with his #Texas #Tornado! #Amreading #Kindle #Countrymusic


I recently released a contemporary western set in Texas that opens with a tornado. As I was pondering the title to that book, I remembered one of my favorite country songs from a few years ago. As soon as I remembered it, I knew I had to name my book MY LITTLE TEXAS TORNADO! What a perfect title for a book about a rancher who falls for a girl from Cali who he saves from a massive tornado her first day in town!

To top it off, I was lucky enough to see Mr. Tracy Lawrence when he last came to Texas on March 15, 2013 at The Silver Saloon!

I didn't even know he was playing until that afternoon when I saw a post on his Facebook page! I texted my amazing editor and friend at 8 pm after I cleared it all with my honey and had dinner and the kids taken care of for the evening. My editor said she could go so I picked her up around 10 and we sped off to the concert which was about half an hour's drive away. We were worried we'd miss part of it but we got there just in time, five minutes before he came on! We bought two cold beers and scrambled up to the stage and found an excellent spot in front! How lucky could we get?


What an amazing evening we had! Mr. Lawrence rocked the house, playing all his old hits and thrilling us with his new songs! I was lucky enough to shake his hand afterwards and then he came back on stage for an encore I'll never forget! I snagged the stage playlist at the end of the show and got an autographed Tracy Lawrence hat which I now wear everywhere..lol!

He favorited my Tweets! Squeeeeeeeeeeeeee! Thanks for an amazing evening, Mr. Lawrence! You and your amazing band still got it going on!!!

Happy Valentine's Day!

I'm a huge night owl! In fact, I have to struggle to get work done in the early morning hours. For whatever reason, my body wants to sleep but at night I come alive! Maybe because I was born at 11:45 pm. I don't know. One thing is for sure, it works really well for me because I can get my little ones to bed and stay up late writing and working into the wee hours, among other things.

It actually gives my honey and I more time to hang out, watch movies, cook a late dinner and be romantic. So when the weekend rolls around, we are total night owls! We've been known to leave our little ones with our teenager and drive to the lake and watch the swans swim. Everything changes at night. For me, those changes are beautiful and calm. Peaceful. When most of the world is sleeping, we go out and live. Night owls have to eat too. One of the favorite Night owl spots for late night dining is Waffle House!! Who doesn't love a buttery waffle drizzled with maple syrup? Go in the fall. They have a yummy pumpkin pie waffle that is to die for! We love to go eat in quaint Italian restaurants or hidden away Mexican cafes. We've been known to have a coffee in a cozy coffee shop while the rain slides down the windows.

Nighttime is in my blood. Of course, since I'm a night owl, I have a telescope and love to gaze at the moon and twinkling stars.

Early bird gets the worm? She can have it! I'll take my romantic, magical nights instead!

Stop by Vivi Dumas today to hop on the 14th day of the MY LITTLE TEXAS TORNADO tour.


Have a happy Valentine's Night! ~ Ruby Vines

Growing your #Characters! #Amwriting #Amreading #Romance #Western

If you're a writer you know your characters must grow or the plot will become stale and boring. If you're a reader, you know you want to read about characters who go through challenges and become a better person.

Today is Day 11 of the MY LITTLE TEXAS TORNADO tour with a pit stop at URBAN GIRL READER. Click on the link to make sure you enter to win a copy of the book!

Savannah Moon is a total snob, engaged to an even bigger snob. Wouldn't you like to see her become a better person? It was quite a challenge but alpha male, Colt Daniels didn't have too much trouble thawing the ice.

What is #Sexy? #sensual #erotica #chemistry #love #romance #fetish #nightowl


What is sexy? Funny how our opinions differ on what is sexy. For some it's the eyes, the smile, a kind soul, an intelligent mind, a sculpted body or a combination of all these traits. What do you find sexy in a man or a woman?





Leave a comment and your email addy and I'll enter you into a drawing for my 5-Book Collection of the very best of Alisha Paige's Sensual Dark, Romance! Prize to be drawn on February 20th and announced here! Tell me your secret fetish and I'll enter you into the drawing TWICE!




I have a fetish for hands. Big, strong hands..sigh! I'm totally in love with my husband's hands. The man can be totally clothed and lay one hand on my knee and I'm done for. I'd love to hear what drives you crazy!

Today is Day 8 of THE MY LITTLE TEXAS TORNADO TOUR! Check it out at NOT JUST 9 TO 5 and Jodie Pierce's Ink Slinger's Blog for more chances to win books!
