During this period, book 2 of my Husband Series, Husband Stay has been reduced to 0.99c so if you haven’t already grabbed a copy, this is a good time!

Angela Lata is the quiet friend, who only ever wanted two things out of life: a singing career and children. So she’s entitled to a little craziness after discovering that her cheating husband had a vasectomy before their wedding. Still, that’s no excuse to succumb to sexy man-whore Jack, even if he is so gorgeous she can barely breathe in his presence. Hadn’t she learned anything from her girlfriend’s example? The best way to get over one man is NOT to sleep with another.

The trouble is, Angela has never had good sex, let alone great sex, and on the eve of her diva dreams coming true, Jack promises her both. All it takes is one night with him to ruin her completely. Every date afterward suffers in comparison, and with her biological clock ticking loudly and her career not living up to her expectations, what she needs is father material, not pleasure-on-tap.

Tradition meets testosterone in a clash of expectations as unlikely lovers struggle to uncover what they really want from life—and each other.

Congratulations to Newsletter subscriber, Beth W who’s won a $10 Amazon Gift Card in my monthly draw. If you haven’t subscribed to my Louise Cusack News author newsletter yet (some of the people receiving this are subscribed to my website blog), you’re not in the draw for next month! But don’t worry, you can easily fix that by popping over HERE to subscribe.

 

Exciting things are happening in the Erotic Romance world. Last month I shared that 3 of my Husband Series novels (above) were finalists in the Australian Romance Readers Association Awards for Best Erotic Romance of 2016. Well, the award has been presented and I was pipped at the post by Vi Keeland, who won with her book Bossman, which BTW is a fabulous read. So no hard feelings here. I’m just thrilled to have three books in the top ten, and am looking forward to publishing book #5 of the Husband Series in the next few months – look out for Cal and Rosie’s sexily-ever-after!

If you haven’t started my Husband Series yet, you can always grab book #1 for free. The list of retailers is below:

• Amazon Kindle: http://www.amazon.com/dp/B01AJ8YMYM
• Apple iBook: https://itunes.apple.com/us/book/id1115739092
• Kobo: https://www.kobo.com/ww/en/ebook/husband-sit
• Barnes & Noble: http://www.barnesandnoble.com/w/husband-sit-louise-cusack/1123819136

And if you like my books well enough to recommend them to friends, I’ll be very grateful.

I hope you all have a fabulous March wherever you are in the world. Here in Australia we’re coming out of one of the hottest summers I can remember, so I’m looking forward to Autumn, cooler days and all the deliciousness of hearty soups and snuggling in front of my laptop with a coffee!

I’m sure our local wildlife will appreciate cooler weather (and rain) as well. We’ve had quite a few kangaroos coming into the yard looking for water, and earlier this week a joey just out of the pouch got separated from his mother when the mailman frightened them. He ended up in my gated backyard (still haven’t worked out how – that’s a very high fence!) and I had to enlist neighborhood friends to coax him back out and reunite him with his mother. He was one jittery little guy! I caught him briefly on video, so if you’re interested to see him in all his delicious cuteness, click HERE.

Well, that’s it for now, folks! Happy reading until we’re chatting again, and don’t forget, if you love a book, please take the time to review it!

Hello and welcome to a shiny New Year!

I’m in celebration mode this week. The first three books of my Husband Series are currently shortlisted in the ’Favourite Erotic Romance of 2016’ award by the Australian Romance Readers Association. A fabulous validation from readers – many thanks!

For those who haven’t read the series yet, I’ve created a bargain opportunity: my Kindle box set containing all four Husband Series books has been discounted to .99c USD for a limited time.

To grab your copy and see what everyone’s talking about, click here: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01LY1TAQ8

In other news, I’m closing down this blog soon so I’m hoping you’ll switch over to my newsletter where I’m currently running a competition. Everyone who’s listed as subscribed to my newsletter on Valentine’s Day, is in the draw to win a $50 Amazon gift card. If you have a friend who likes erotic romance and you think they’d like to subscribe and be in the draw as well, please share this blog with them so they can follow this link to subscribe: http://louisecusack.us14.list-manage.com/subscribe?u=d4bd0873e9ccf2a31dd31f1c5&id=c0dfa0c583

Do have a great lead-up to the most romantic day of the year, and if you don’t have a ‘significant other’ to share romantic treats with on Valentine’s Day, can I suggest that you spoil yourself? Despite all the glamor of romance, the love you have for yourself will be the most significant love in your life, and it’s also true that you can’t give what you don’t have. So love yourself up so much you feel pampered! And then you’ll have heaps of love to overflow onto those around you.

That’s my Agony Aunt advice for the week!

Scout out the next Amazon best-seller

Amazon has a new website: Kindle Scout where Amazon customers can ‘scout’ through unpublished books and nominate those they like for publication. This is reader-powered publishing where you get to choose what gets published and what doesn’t…

…which brings me to SILK.

Authors will tell you they love all their “babies” equally, but most will have one project that’s the book of their heart, and this series is mine. The Florentia series began it’s life over ten years ago when I first came up with the idea for a portal that joined our world with a lost world that DaVinci had discovered. Then I imagined what would happen if DaVinci’s patrons, the Medici, stole the device from him, conquered the lost world and had been ruling it for 500 years. What sort of society would they have by now? And what would happen if someone from our world stumbled into it?

During the last decade I’ve written many iterations of this story, moving it from straight Sci fi into Fantasy and now firmly into the Fantasy Romance genre. I undertook a research trip to Rome and Florence where I met Medici scholars and even stayed in a building where lesser members of the Medici had lived during DaVinci’s lifetime. In my two decades of writing, this story is the one I’ve loved the most and had the hardest time selling (maybe there’s a correlation there!)

In any case, when Kindle Scout came along, I realized this was an opportunity to share details of the Florentia series with the public to see if it has the sort of wide appeal I’m hoping it will. That’s where you come in!

As someone who subscribes to my blog, I’d love to share this with you. If you are an Amazon customer and have time during December, please pop over to Kindle Scout here: https://kindlescout.amazon.com/p/GDATHRYHT8YR where you can see the cover, read the first 5000 words of the story and nominate SILK.  You can also check out other books you might like to nominate, and become part of the process of readers deciding what they want to see published. And if you want to share this blog post or the link to SILK on Kindle Scout with your social networks, you will earn my eternal gratitude!

As a reward from Amazon, if your nominated books are published, you’ll receive a free copy for taking the time to support them.

Thanks so much for reading this, and for being part of my journey. Writing is a solitary job, which I love, but it can feel lonely at times. So your interest in my career helps me with moral support to keep going through the tough times and the momentum to surge ahead when opportunities arise.  You’re much appreciated!

Release day: Husband Heel

Today is the official release of Husband Heel by Louise Cusack (Husband series book 3) (ebook, Flirt Press). Here’s the blurb: When the man of your dreams turns you into a hot mess, who do you call?…

My Past is My Past

There’s a new meme doing the rounds #MyPastIsMyPast – and it snagged my attention because being “in the moment” and not living in the past or the future is my current spiritual practice.

I’ve got friends that I’ve known over forty years, and occasionally we drift down Memory Lane recalling events from wayback, both good and bad. The idea has always seemed to be that “the unexamined life wasn’t worth living” so we would spend hours dissecting past events, trying to see how they impacted on our beliefs, our biases or our values. Often this was accompanied by a feeling of regret, that If only things had been different, our lives would now be easier.

When this meme turned up, it really made me assess that, and I suddenly realized I should have no regrets. My past has shaped the writer that I am and that’s something to feel immensely grateful for. If I hadn’t had frightening things happen to me, euphoric things, crazy things, sad things, bad things, I wouldn’t be able to create characters who could authentically live through the everyday traumas (and some extraordinary ones) that most people expect out of life, and fiction.

Losing someone you love, feeling desperately alone, longing for something you can never have, the terror of opening your heart to love, the euphoria of feeling loved, the security of family, of girlfriends, and the heartbreakingly poignant experience of bearing and raising children.

All these things and so many more are in my past. I don’t live there anymore. But my characters do. And this is one of the most delicious parts of being a writer – having characters become real on the page and watching them go through life-changing transformations, with all the emotional upheaval that entails.

I’ve just finished writing book 3 of my Husband Series, HUSBAND HEEL, and this one has really put me through the wringer! Louella’s story was hard to write because it’s so emotional. I should have seen that coming. Repressed people usually have spectacular meltdowns when the proverbial finally hits the fan. But despite the exhaustion of writing such deep emotional scenes, it’s been so lovely to see her soften and grow as a person. And sexy! Wow, I had no idea she’d be so uninhibited (neither did her bodyguard Nick!), so that was a real revelation.

My past is obviously not dead. It’s very much alive and living through my characters and their thrilling experiences. But I can honestly say I don’t live there anymore. I don’t dwell on the past or wonder about it at all unless someone brings it up. I think that’s healthy. I hope that’s healthy.

I would love to hear your thoughts on this, your experiences with accepting and even feeling grateful for the past. We’re all on this rollercoaster ride of life together, and I’m eager to learn from others…
