His First Lady- Falling for the Billionaire Boxed Set

My romantic comedy His First Lady is available only in the Falling for the Billionaire Boxed Set. When hearts get involved, this marriage of convenience becomes anything but…

The only letters Mandy Buchanan wants added to her name are MFA but with her dad refusing to pay for a frivolous degree, she may have to add the letters MRS first.

Eric Hernandez wants to be the U.S. President but he’s got two strikes against him: his bachelor status and a popular reality TV star for an opponent. The only thing that can save him? An endorsement from popular Senator Jack Buchanan. If only the Senator didn’t hate Eric’s guts…

Eric has a proposal: A fake wedding that gets them both what they want. Mandy gets her degree, Eric gets a shot at the White House, and one overbearing father gets hot under the collar.

But Eric’s an annoying stuffed shirt like her dad, so Mandy isn’t ready to strike a deal. There is just one problem. His campaign knows Mandy’s secret pen name was the blogger who broke the story about her father’s scandalous affair a year ago.
It’s marriage to a hot billionaire, or be disowned.

Branding

I've spent years not really knowing what to call what I write. Because one book was fun, cute, and light and the next was the violent progress of ripping myself out of postpartum depression. And then the next also high concept but in a completely different way, a slower way.
And after spending time in indie book groups, I realized what no one at a conference has ever been able to tell me. Every book I wrote wasn't different.
I write two kinds of books.
High-concept YA (often controversially so--but high concept)
Light, funny adult romances.

So you may have noticed you can't buy Decree of Hope anymore.
It's gone.
I can't undo A Missing Peace, because I don't own it.
But the rights will revert back to me in two years and it will disappear too.
Don't worry. They'll both be available under a pen name. As I hope the books I've written under these past few years, while I haven't been publishing will. I know one of them will be released as Beth Fred, the pragmatic mom who bites the crust off her kid's bread and hands it back to her and gives directions in reference to the nearest candy shop.

And the high-concept often gritty YA and NA will be released under my ultra-ego who still has a rebellious streak and doubts the system.

You may have noticed that I haven't blogged much these past few years.
That may or may not change now that I'm a full-time writer/editor. But I had something to say today, so I felt like saying it.
