WeWriWa . . . Time to RISE! RISE BY MOONLIGHT S*A*L*E!!

WeWriWa . . . Time to RISE! RISE BY MOONLIGHT S*A*L*E!!

I LOVE a sale! Clothes, shoes, makeup, groceries, oil changes and even cat litter (especially cat litter!), lower the price and you’ll catch my attention. The same with books . . . all books, any books. And I especially love to reduce the price on my own backlist to get them out in front of new readers (and old!). Soooo, Ta Dah! RISE BY MOONLIGHT, the concluding chapter in my “By Moonlight” shapeshifter series is ON SALE for only $0.99 from now until August 26. Reduced price not quite enough to entice you? How about a taste to whet the appetite . . .?

“Mama, what’s wrong with me?” that small voice sobbed.

The rocker continued to complain as she stroked the child’s black hair. Her tender gesture failed to calm either boy or the man he’d become.

“Nothing’s wrong with you, Max. You’re perfect. They just don’t understand, so they fear you. That’s why you must be careful to never let them see the truth.”

“What truth?” the child pleaded. “Mama, tell me!”

Low and soft, Max repeated from where he watched, decades away, “Mama, tell me.”

(and the rest . . .)

She brushed a kiss across the top of the child’s flushed brow then slowly straightened, turning toward Max Savoie, a surreal voyeur from the future she’d never see. Her gaze swam with tears like liquid silver before flaring bright, then hot.

Then red.

“Max,” she crooned, “you’re just like me.”

Max and Charlotte return for the explosive conclusion of the “By Moonlight” series...

and the stakes have never been higher!

He’s the Promised One
A Mobster’s attack dog turned legitimate business powerhouse, Max Savoie is the reluctant leader of New Orleans’ shapeshifter clan. They’ve kept to anonymous shadows, working and living unnoticed by the human world until their new Shifter King’s past draws dangerous outsiders who threaten all.

She’s the Protector
A fiercely determined NOPD detective, Charlotte Caissie has sworn to defend her beloved city and her unborn child from both criminals and otherworldly factions at war. While standing boldly at the side of her mate/husband, secrets from the past return to shake the foundation of her beliefs.

They have a Problem
Walking a marital tight rope between opposite worlds, Max and Cee Cee’s paths place truth and trust at odds when outside threats force enemies to become allies. The time to take a stand for their family and their future is at hand. Time to rise together for the survival of all they love!

“Every delicious word Nancy Gideon puts on the page exhilarates with a sensuous ferocity. Hopelessly addicted.” —Darynda Jones, NY Times Bestselling Author


Do you have to read the previous books to enjoy RISE BY MOONLIGHT? No (but I won’t discourage you from doing so!). Though previous events are referred to, think of them as more of a teaser than a roadblock.

Ta Dah, again! I’ve got a BRAND NEW website!! My virtual assistant (who is much cleverer at such things than I am) is still doing some tweaking, but I’d love to see what you think of the new “Nancy Gideon by Any Other Name.”

More GREAT NEWS! I just got the rights back to all but the first three books of the “By Moonlight” series (publisher wouldn’t let them go . . . sigh!) and will be reissuing Books 4-8! Can’t wait to reread them all to get my Max and CeeCee fix.

At the moment, I’m across the state taking care of one of my critique partners who hurt her back and leg in a fall. (PSA: Don’t hyperextend to adjust your blinds at bedtime!). Bonus – we’ve been busy working on our plans for our Ireland trip next month with one of our other writing pals. Building my muscles up for wheelchair pushing (as needed) up and down the hill from our cozy house to our little Dingle Peninsula village (Probably to visit one of the pubs! It’s Ireland – more pubs than restaurants!).

For now, it’s SALE promos and packing lists to keep me out of trouble. And some front porch rocking followed by Acorn TV.


Happy Summer, fellow Warriors!!

  1. A bald statement like that doesn't sound good and it will draw the reader in.

  3. I think her statement reassures him that someone can relate to him, but also reveals that he's always going to be different, and that he has to keep that hidden. Seems like a lonely life. Intriguing snippet!

    1. "Different" is a hard concept for a child, especially when it goes hand-in-hand with dangerous.

  7. It sounds like he'll need more than average guidance, but having a caring mum will help!
    Good luck with helping your critique partner. I hope she's feeling better soon. It's not easy. My mother was injured in a fall a week ago and is also in a wheelchair. I sympathize with you and your friend!

    1. Thanks, Kate. Growing older isn't for sissies, that's for sure. We both enjoyed the extended visit regardless of the reason.
