Clarity and Mark of the Beast have been re-released. If you’ve purchased & read these stories in the past, don’t worry, nothing new has been added. They’ve just had a bit of cleaning up and acquired some pretty new covers. Currently, both titles are available at Amazon and at Smashwords (in a variety of formats).
Clarity:
Amazon
Smashwords
Mark of the Beast:
Amazon
Smashwords
I am working on additional formats and as soon as I get things just right, they’ll go up at ARe and a few other distributor sites. I’ll let y’all know when I manage get that done.
*Clarity, was part of Toy Box: Biting and published by Torquere Press in 2009.
*Mark of the Beast was a “Sip” published by Torquere Press in 2009.

Surrender Available as Single Shot Classic
Surrender Dale’s been in love with Brandt – his best friend and sometime boss – from the moment they met on the ranch. For nine years, they’ve lived and worked side by side. It hasn’t always been easy and they’ve had plenty of words and fights, but one thing Dale is sure of is that the stubborn man he admires is someone he doesn’t ever want to be without.
But Brandt is straight. Or so he wants Dale to believe. He can’t seem to see his way through years of fear and hiding to tell Dale the truth. Better to let him think all they’ll ever be is friends. One night, however, Brandt crosses a line and everything between them changes – and not for the better.
Fighting’s easy. Making up is the hard part. Can they see eye to eye before it costs them everything?

*waves*
It's been a long time since I posted any sort of update. And I still don't have much in the way of news. All I can tell you is what I have been working on, how it's going, and what's next. But hey, I guess that IS news to everyone outside my head, right? ;-)
Soul Mates.
I've been working on the 5th book for a while. It's going as well as expected I guess, but it's a more difficult book than I thought it would be. There are things from earlier books that need to be wrapped up, current plot bits that need resolution, and then there are new bits that need to be set up for another book (same world, different POV).
The book and I kind of have a love/hate relationship. There are times when I think all is going well and I love it. Other times, I look at it and growl, wanting to do nothing but hit the delete button and start all over. Right now, I'm hovering somewhere in the middle, carefully working my way forward. I'm about 2 weeks behind where I needed to be on the book at this point, but I guess that's not as bad as 2 months -- or years!
And this next bit of news is something a few of my longtime readers might appreciate...
The DEA book (Target) is next.
It seems like every time I set a deadline in the Soul Mates world, my DEA guys just yell even louder. Richard is growly and demanding and even gun porn isn't keeping him occupied. Hell, I half-expect him to pop up in SM5 at any time and start "helping"...and that'd be a very bad thing. Ryan is currently being secretive, but it's more in a "pssst, come see what I found" sort of way. And I'm "Not looking yet, dude, so cut it out."
So, yeah....As soon as SM5 is wrapped up, Richard and Ryan will get my full attention.
Promise.
Um, what else?
LiveJournal hasn't been sending me notifications for a while now, apparently. I logged in to find that I've missed quite a bit in the way of comments, messages, and friend-adds. Is it just me or has LJ been wonky with anyone else?
Somewhat behind on Facebook, other than friend-req's that I can confirm on my phone. Feel like I've been away from there for so long that I don't know what to post.
Email? Those of you who've known me for a while are probably laughing because I'm always notoriously behind. Yep, still behind. Will probably always be behind.
Twitter. Probably the best (and fastest) way to get my attention. It runs in the background on my phone and doesn't shut up unless I look at it.
And that's...all I've got for now, I think. ;-)

A Few Things...
(X-posted from LiveJournal | Website)
1) The issue with the Kindle edition of Soul Mates: Bound by Blood is fixed. It's been fixed for several days now, but it's been so crazy around here that I didn't have a chance to post to let everyone know. So, if you were waiting on this to get fixed in the Kindle store itself... it's there with buy links and everything. ;-)
2) I was going through email on my server last night to try to clear out some space (all emails are kept there for backup) and found quite a few hung up in the spam folder. I've adjusted the settings on this folder dozens of times, but it still catches legit emails and sends me junk. I'll get to them as soon as possible, I promise. Either way, I'll be sure to post when I'm caught up with them all.
3) My girls started spring break last Friday and I'm spending time with them -- and J, who has his 7 days off right now, too. While I might be online here and there, I'm not working much at all until after 03/23/10.
4) Okay, so 4 things make more than a few. But I just remembered that I wanted to ask for some thoughts on my website. While I LOVE the theme, I'm wondering if it's too image heavy for some that access it. Or too dark in regards to coloring. If you have a chance to click over and look, tell me what you think? www.jourdanlane.com
Also, if there's something NOT on my website that you would like to see there, let me know about that, too!
ETA: My FAQ page was updated in January, but if there's something you'd like to have added, please let me know.
Thanks!

FYI: Soul Mates: Bound By Blood (Kindle Edition) and Amazon
(X-posted)
A few days ago, someone emailed to let me know of an issue with the Kindle edition of Soul Mates: Bound by Blood. The book is listed in search, but there's no way to actually buy it. I emailed my publisher to see if they could tell me what was up. They checked on it and did what they needed to, but this appears to be an Amazon bug.
Since we first discovered this problem, I've received 9 additional emails asking how to buy the book for Kindle. I figured it was best to let everyone know that we (my publisher and I) were aware of this and that it IS being handled as quickly as possible.
So don't freak out.
-- The book is NOT out of print, nor is it close to being so.
-- This does NOT affect the print version of the book, ONLY the Kindle edition.
-- If you don't want to wait until this is resolved at Amazon, I believe you can buy the book in either non-secure Adobe, Mobipocket, or HTML at All Romance Ebooks or OmniLit and then transfer the file to your Kindle for a small fee. However, I don't know how to do it, so don't ask ME for help/advice on that. There might be other distributors who offer this service, but I'm not readily aware of them. :-)
Again, this only affects the Kindle edition of Soul Mates: Bound by Blood at Amazon.
Thanks for your patience!
