Release Day is Just Around the Corner!
That's right! Except for that whole pesky deadline thing, August 29 has seemed reeeeaaaalllllyyyy far away. Until, um, just now. Because CALLED UP releases on Monday!!!!! So, to build a little excitement:
ONE day from now... You'll begin to see announcements for an incredible group giveaway I'm part of through Instafreebie. There will be fourteen awesome FREE short stories/novellas/books available, including LAST CALL, my short story intro to Inspiration, Iowa. (Hint: Deke makes a cameo appearance.) So if you haven't had a chance to get a copy of that yet, now you will.
TWO days from now... Well, okay, two days from now I'll be taking a breather in anticipation of a fantastic upcoming couple of weeks and will therefore be hanging out with the fam at the beach. I'll post pictures. :) But I'll also post some specifics about next week's Facebook party. Stay tuned...
THREE days from now... Is the last day of my preorder giveaway. Have you had a chance to enter yet? There's still time. But not much. So head over to http://bit.ly/2b2nMW1 and enter to win a $25 Amazon gift card.
AND THEN, drumroll please...
RELEASE DAY ON MONDAY 8/29!!!!! And there's so much happening!
- CALLED UP IS AVAILABLE!!!!
- Thanks to Tasty Book Tours, the CALLED UP Blog Tour begins with ten amazing stops on the first day. The tour runs through Friday, September 9, with between six and ten stops every day. I'll post each day's schedule so that you know where to look. And please leave thank you's for the bloggers so that they know their work is appreciated. I thought writing a book was hard...and then I tried to write a thorough, thoughtful review. Holy cow. Hands down, the book was easier.
- The Sweet & Sexy Release Day Facebook Party starts at 7:00 p.m. EST. Rachel Lacey, Lisa Marie Perry, and I are so excited for a fantastic line-up of authors. I'll post the full schedule on Saturday, but you can RSVP now at: https://www.facebook.com/events/1614567405521101/.
So rest up, folks. Because it's going to be a great few days!
CALLED UP named TRR Top Pick!
OhWowOhWowOhWOW!!!! I just got the news today that CALLED UP was named a TRR (The Romance Reviews) Top Pick! From Delta's 5 STAR review:
I just love Ms. Doyle's lighthearted yet delicious voice, her fabulous blend of humor and heat that of a much more seasoned author (did I mention this was only her second book?). She has earned a spot on my auto-buy list, and I'm super excited for the next story in this über excellent series!
Bottom Line: CALLED UP gets a big YAAAAAAASSSS from this reviewer! If you dig well written, sweet, funny and erotic romance with a firm HEA, do yourself a favor and pick this series up!
I won't lie. Book Two was a tough one to write. I can't even begin to say what this means to me. Thank you, thank you, thank you, to Delta and The Romance Reviews!

Thank you, Tasty Book Tours!
So it's been quite a crazy month and a half since CALLING IT released on April 11. I have to admit, I was a bit unprepared. But rather than lament all the things I did wrong, I thought I'd focus on the things I did right--and one of those was working with Tasty Book Tours and all of the wonderful bloggers that took part in my virtual tour in April. Because I have some catch up to do, over the next few weeks I'll be posting links to some of the interviews I did there as well as some of the reviews because I think they might have gotten buried what with everything that was going on. But I look forward to working with them again in August when CALLED UP (i.e., Book 2 ;) ) is released.
In the meantime, I thought I'd leave this screen shot here of all of the incredible bloggers that reviewed and promo'd CALLING IT, whether they were fans of the book or not. I've written a bunch of reviews in my time and, frankly, sucked at it. I'm in awe of those who do it all the time.
And a special thank you to Lisa at TBT. What a great way to start out this journey.
