A Steamy Valentine’s Extra Is Incoming!

The text reads: Emma Barry, Valentine's Day Extra. What if that porch kiss had been more? Sign up for my newsletter at AuthorEmmaBarry.com. The cover is cream with a white woman with brown hair kissing a white man with blond hair. It reads Emma Barry, Porch Shenanigans, A Chick Magnet Alternate Chapter.

Just a heads up that I’m planning to send a newsletter on Monday with a Valentine’s Day extra: an alternate chapter for Chick Magnet in which things gets considerably more steamy on Will’s porch. I’ll talk more about this in the newsletter itself, but writing the scene with extra heat helped me to get over my mid-book slump and finish the book. So while I fully love the final (lower-heat) version of the chapter, it’s fun to look back and ponder, “what if?”

Anyhow, if this sounds like something you want to read, make sure you sign up for my newsletter here.

Announcing A Midnight Spark!

If you’re not on the Fly Me to the Moon mailing list, you missed an important announcement: Genevieve and I will be serializing a summer-themed novella called A Midnight Spark there starting tomorrow! It features a silver fox rancher, a woman with a weakness for strays, an injured hummingbird, and enough fireworks to rival the US Capitol’s display.

While we’ll eventually package this story with A Midnight Feast and re-release it to retailers, for the moment the only way to get A Midnight Spark–and the only way to get it for free–is to subscribe to our mailing list. So get on that!

Freebie Alert: Dispatches

I’ve been meaning to collect the stories I wrote for the Rogue series. Thanks to my ennui about current events, I finally got around to it. Dispatches is collection of three standalone novelettes, and I’m offering it as an exclusive freebie to my mailing list subscribers.

To emphasize: this is previously published work. If you bought Rogue Desire, Rogue Affairs, and Rogue Hearts, you already have these stories. But they’re together along with a few extras for the first time.

Dispatches - High Resolution

Gathering these stories together reminded me that politics, at its best, can be hopeful; it can be where people work in tandem to make things better. If politics is a site that destroys us, it can be a place of power too. And in that way, it’s a lot like love.

I’ll never stop believing that, in the most intimate and elemental way, to choose love is to look to the future. In these stories, falling in love isn’t an escapist fantasy or a turn inward. Instead, these characters take in the hellscape, then turn to each other and say, “Let’s fix it. Together.” It’s a message I need now more than ever.

If you’re already signed up for the newsletter, I just sent you an email with the link to get your copy. If you’re not a subscriber, you can remedy that right here. After you confirm your email address, the download link will appear on the confirmation screen.

A Little V-Day Extra

If you subscribe to my newsletter, I had a tiny extra epilogue this morning with Graham and Cadence from Rogue Desire. You can read it here, but if you’re not signed up, what’s stopping you?

If you’re dying for more extra content from me, I have two deleted scenes from Rogue Affair, an extended epilogue for Private Politics, and a bonus chapter from a book I’ll probably never write.

I’m going to try to disappear into my writing cave for a bit, but if you celebrate Valentine’s Day, I hope it’s an epic one.

Deleted Scenes Going Out to My Newsletter

I interrupt this insane news day to say I have two deleted scenes from “The Fourth Estate” (from Rogue Affair) that I’ll be sending to my mailing list next week. They’re both from Drew’s POV: one is the coffee meeting (except his perspective) and the other involves him watching Brynn on the news. If I do say so myself, they’re pretty cute.

So, if you want to read them, make sure you’re signed up!

ETA: if you missed them, they’re here, but consider signing up so that this awesome stuff goes straight into your inbox.
