Yay For World Lion Day!

You know I can’t resist posting a cute lion picture, and World Lion Day gives me the perfect excuse. Please enjoy this pair doing what cats of all kinds do best – snoozing…

How adorable is this?

And there’s plenty of good news to celebrate on the lion front. A while ago I blogged about the lions at the Artis Zoo in Amsterdam being forced to relocate to France because the money wasn’t available to renovate their habitat. Well, according to Het Parool, a wealthy benefactor has come forward with enough cash to keep the animals in situ. It’s nice to know there are some generous lion fans out there.

And if you prefer your lions to come in shifter form and you haven’t sampled my Lionhearts MM romance series from Pride Publishing, then the fact the first book in the series, The Pride of Amsterdam, is on offer for £1.99 may tempt you. It’s available from Amazon UK and Amazon US, and it will transport you to a world where someone wants to remove the lions from Amsterdam – permanently and with extreme violence… Will the shifters prevail? Ah, you’ll have to read the book to find out!

The Lions Will Live On!

When I visit Amsterdam, one of my favourite places to spend time is Artis, the city zoo which is one of the oldest in Europe. It’s been extensively redeveloped in recent years to give many of its animals more room to live and roam, so I was sad to read that the zoo is having to send its lions to a new home in the south of France as they can no longer afford to update their habitat.

Though the lions may be leaving Artis, their shifter relatives will still roam the streets of this amazing city. If you don’t know what I mean, then you need to pick up a copy of The Pride of Amsterdam, the first book in my Lionhearts series, available from the First For Romance e-bookstore, Amazon UK or Amazon US, because we all need some big cats – and the men who love them – in our lives…

Cover Reveal – The Pride of Amsterdam

I’ve been trying to hold back on showing off this gorgeous cover for a while, seeing as the book won’t be available till December, but I just can’t wait any longer. Here’s the design for The Pride of Amsterdam, the first in a new m/m paranormal series for Totally Bound – Lionhearts.

Now you know the reason for all those views of Amsterdam, but if you want to learn more about the secrets the city holds in this tale of mystery, murder (oh, and of course, hot sex), keep watching this space…
