News! 5 Stars, Updates, and More, Oh My!

I'm so excited! I recently found out that Lipstick and Camouflage received an awesome 5 Star review on Amazon.

Not only did it make me do a little Snoopy dance, the reader totally 'got' it. This means the world to me as an author, and, while not everyone will share that same opinion, it was the first review for this book so I simply had to share.

As many readers might know, reviews help a book's algorithms so that readers of the same or similar genre might be able to see a new book, especially so with Amazon, but I believe all vendors are important. Hopefully, a reader will see the review, read the book's excerpt and blurb and like it enough to add it to their bookshelf or cart.

Now, I'm a huge fan and author of several genres, predominately Romantic Suspense and Paranormal/Shapeshifter, and when I'm hunting on Amazon for a new book for my tablet, thanks to the Kindle app, I'll see a row of books in those genres.

If you'd like to see the review, it can be viewed here:

Maybe, it'll help a reader who is on the fence about the book or the genre or an author new to them. It would be wonderful, but I'm grateful for the post nonetheless.

Note, also, that I've updated my website, details on Lipstick and Camouflage and my previously released Indie title, UnMAsKed  are on the home page on the Romantic Suspense bookshelf.

Also, in coming weeks, my very first books published with Ellora's Cave under the Cerridwen Press/Blush imprints, will be going away. That does not mean the Abcynians, introduced in the Panthera series, are disappearing or going instinct, I promise they will return revamped and re-imagined. And, though they are set during my favorite eras in History, the Abcynians are a force to be reckoned with.

As soon as I'm able, I will share more details about the changes and the new release dates, including updates on my website.  In the meantime, I'm hard at work re-imagining the first book and plotting the next title in my Major Crimes Unit series set in Ocean City, Maryland and began with UnMAsKed.

Until next time,
Frances Stockton

Great Review of Switch Master by Literary Nymphs!

Hi everyone!

I hope you all had a joyous and peaceful Christmas/Holiday Season and a Happy New Year. As it's a New Year, there are awesome books coming down the pike for 2014, books and stories I'll tell you all more about the closer they are to releasing. I will say that I recently signed a 5 book contract with Ellora's Cave, three that are part of the Sexcapades series that feature characters introduced in Hazard's Dare, Ellora's Cave Moderne, in small town Dare, Nevada, a place where the rich and famous and sometimes infamous can retreat to and not have to worry about candid cameras or discovery unless they want to be discovered.

Two of the books are for the Exotica line, Pleasure Trove and Road Gig! The first features an inside look at the porn industry from the prospective of a newly hired PA who unwittingly becomes the lead actor's fluffer! The latter, set to release late in 2014 or early 2015, depending on how fast I write, is a one night stand and a dream come true for a bartender working toward her doctorate.

In the meantime, as the subject heading indicates, my latest release, Switch Master, Ellora's Cave Taboo, the sixth book in the Ink and Kink series, received an excellent 4.5 Nymphs review from Literary Nymphs and I had to share.
