If you want to follow me, friend me on Facebook or my twitter @jillmyles :) I still blog (though infrequently) at my actual blog at jillmyles.com.
Hey all! So a few people brought to my attention that the coupon for the free download of Wicked Games in my newsletter expired. So weird! I have no idea why it did that.
Anyhoo, if you got the newsletter but were not able to download the book, please drop me an email and I'll send you the new coupon. It's not my intent to cheese you out of a free read.
In addition, if you are on the fence about signing up for my newsletter, I just want to remind that I will only send it out when I have a new release. So it's not monthly, not constant nattering about my favorite recipe - just updates of my releases as a quick FYI! My intent is never to spam.

But forgot to post here! Usually it's the other way around.
Anyhow, here's some chibis of some characters you MIGHT be familiar with. Aren't these cute? I'm in love. (and no, they were not done by my husband).
Click on the picture to see a larger version. Chibi Zane might be the cutest thing ever.

I just finished WHEN SPARKS FLY. I think. I turned it over to a beta-reader or two before I'm going to turn it in to my new editor. It's my first book with her so I'm hoping hoping hoping she likes it and I totally did not miss the mark.
This week, I am editing one last time my story VIXEN that will be in the anthology WILD & STEAMY with Meljean Brook and Carolyn Crane. I'm excited for this thing to finally come out! Look for it at the veeeery end of June-possibly-July.
Then I am starting two new projects! Midnight Liaisons #2, and my side project will be SUCCUBUS, INTERRUPTED. It's the story that involves Remy, Jackie, and Zane. I'd say more but I'd have to kill you. I am expecting it to be likely in the neighborhood of about 10k or so, maybe longer. Maybe 15k. I have to start writing it first. It's going to be a fun story, though.
Also on deck, another time travel novel for self-pub that needs a good cleaning up. I'd work on it next, but my brain is fried after editing.
Going to be a busy summer!

I've just released my latest e-book project. It's a short and sweet (and very hot) little romance that I hope you guys enjoy. It's called SHIMMERLIGHT and it's a companion to MIRRORLIGHT (though both novellas stand alone).
Here's a little information about it:
Chloe Sorenson's just started a brand new job at Ms. Muffet's art gallery. However, no one told her that the latest auction piece - a sculpture of a handsome Roman soldier - comes to life. Think it's hard to explain to your boss why you're fondling a statue? Try explaining to the statue why you're holding his, uh, fig leaf. Chloe never thought that touching the statue would turn him into a sexy, aroused man, but she's not saying no to this delicious Roman soldier. The curse requires that she touch him at all times? Such a hardship...
But there's a problem in their lust-fueled relationship; she's falling dangerously in love with a guy that cursed to be hard as a rock - literally - unless she can somehow free him. And the statue of Titus just went up for auction. If she doesn't do something, he's going to be out of her life and trapped for all eternity...
This novella (16,000 words - about 70 pages) contains explicit scenes, including some backdoor play.
It's now available on Amazon and All Romance Ebooks for 99 cents. It should be up on B&N within a day or two, and Smashwords in about a week or two.

So when I'm working on one project, lately...I've been working on a concurrent project. Yes, the best way to get me excited about work is to give me MORE work. I know.
You will be happy to know that not only am I in revisions of WHEN SPARKS FLY for Berkley, but I have some indie projects sitting in the wings. I'm going to try and mention them on my Coming Soon page and keep that updated. Right now, this summer's schedule is looking like:
- Finish revising WHEN SPARKS FLY
- Revise side project #2 (This is a novel that I wrote and thought, Okay, No publisher is EVER going to buy this from me. I have a few of those in my trunk, alas.)
- Start MIDNIGHT LIAISONS #2
- Write Remy/Jackie/Zane novella.
- Work on SUCCUBI ARE FOREVER
So that's what my summer looks like, kids. Projects will be shuffled back and forth (the succubus novella might come out before the novel, frex) and the contracted stuff will always, always be a priority. But I love having an overflowing schedule. It makes me feel invigorated, writing-wise, and I'm excited to keep writing more stuff.
And speaking of more stuff! Lookee!
This little goodie will be going up over the weekend! It's 16,000 words long, and those of you that liked MIRRORLIGHT will notice a similar fairy godmother making an appearance. It'll be available everywhere that I can stick an ebook up, and it'll be 99 cents. And this one's a little steamier than my usual fare, so be warned (and ready to clutch your pearls).
Here's the blurb:
Chloe Sorenson's just started a brand new job at Ms. Muffet’s art gallery. However, no one told her that the latest auction piece – a sculpture of a handsome Roman soldier – comes to life. Think it's hard to explain to your boss why you're fondling a statue? Try explaining to the statue why you're holding his, uh, fig leaf.
Chloe never thought that touching the statue would bring him to life, but she's not saying no to this sexy Roman soldier. The curse requires that she touch him at all times? Such a hardship...
But there's a problem in their lust-fueled relationship; she’s falling dangerously in love with a guy that cursed to be hard as a rock - literally - unless she can somehow free him. And the statue of Titus just went up for auction. If she doesn’t do something, he’s going to be out of her life and trapped for all eternity…

The first draft of my first Berkley Heat book, WHEN SPARKS FLY (which, okay, might not be the final title at all). I always feel a little numb after finishing a book, like my brain can't process it. I keep opening the file, picking at it, and then just staring at it again, trying to think of little things to improve.
Eventually, it'll sink in!
Right now, it's 82,000 words. Which FEELS short, but that's actually a good starting point. Stephen King says in ON WRITING that he always subtracts 10% in his second draft - I'm the opposite. I always add 10% (or more). I'm guessing this book will end up right at 95k, which is a nice rounded length. It's also the sexiest and most risque of anything I've written. I tried to push boundaries a little, but I have no idea if I succeeded. We shall see!
I'm going to take the day off from the book tomorrow and work on my side project just to mentally separate from the book itself, and then print out and begin the second draft the day after, I think.
Also, the fourth Succubus Diaries book has been on my mind constantly in the past few days. I had a plot, but I thought up a better one, and I'm ditching the old in favor of the new. I'm not gonna lie - I'm totally excited to write this book. I don't have room in my schedule to start it earlier, but...I might anyhow. (shhh. our secret.) Anyhow, if I *do* start it, I might post the first chapter in a few days. Maybe!

I wanted something more playful and island-y to go with the theme of the book. Like it?

Wooo! Finally!
SLAVE TO HER DESIRES is now up on Kindle, Nook, and All Romance Ebooks. Also available on Kindle & ARe is a discounted bundle of SLAVE, FOREPLAY, and ZANE'S TALE that I am calling 'The Succubundle'. (See what I did there?) So if you haven't bought the other two Succubus Diaries stories on your Kindle, you can buy the bundle at a discount.
It's not up on Smashwords yet, so if you are international, you will need to buy on ARe (or wait patiently for a week or two while I upload to Smashwords).
Whee! I love SLAVE TO HER DESIRES, and I hope you like it too. If you're thinking about trying the Succubus Diaries series, but aren't sure if you'll like it, STHD doesn't require that you read the series to enjoy it - it stands alone. If you ARE a fan of the series, well, there's a hint or two about what Noah's been up to in there. I'm just saying. 
Hopefully this will serve as a little filler until Succubus Diaries #4 hits the virtual shelves.
Here's the blurb for it:
Immortality is not always a blessing. Turned into a succubus against her will, Olivia Rhodes has lived the past 120 years as a slave to her cruel and vindictive vampire master. She’s escaped him, but he’s closing in fast. Her only hope? The fallen angel that abandoned her when she was turned, David Thornton.
But David’s not the cold-hearted monster she’s always thought he was…nor did he abandon her. And when Olivia’s hatred of David turns to desire, will her need for revenge against her vampire master destroy the one beautiful thing in her life, or will she find a way to make David love her despite the creature she’s become?
This novella (34,000 words), features a succubus enslaved to her needs, a sleeping beauty, and some explosive sex on a monastery floor.
(Note: While this novella is set in the world of the Succubus Diaries, it is not necessary to read the series to enjoy the novella.)
EXCERPT:
“I didn’t know that he was cursed,” I said softly, then looked up at Noah. “So how would I lift this curse if I wanted to?”
Noah gave me a wry look. “You could try the old fashioned way.”
A kiss to wake up a sleeping prince, like in the fairy tales. My stomach churned at the thought. I’d known that I’d have to sleep with David to survive – my succubus instincts had accepted that part of the bargain – but for some reason, a kiss was…personal. Romantic. Tied to emotions that I couldn’t possibly feel. I didn’t want to kiss the man I’d just spent the last century hating. To make matters worse, I wasn’t even sure that my hate was justified. I brushed my fingertips over his cool face again, thinking hard. Did I want to wake David up? What would I say to him? I wanted to hold onto my anger, but what…what if he woke up and it was totally unfounded?
Who was I if I wasn’t bitter with hatred for both of my masters?
I shook my head. This was stupid. It was just a damn kiss. I leaned in and slid my hands under his neck, pulling his face toward mine and pressing my mouth against his. His lips were cool, unyielding against mine, but the feel of them evoked a strong surge of emotion in me that I didn’t like. I stroked my tongue into his mouth, parting his lips with my questing. Like it or not, I needed David, and his being cursed was a damn nuisance and an even bigger pain in the ass than I’d anticipated.
And he tasted better than I remembered, too. That was galling. Perhaps it was just my succubus curse, which was due to drive me insane within hours. Perhaps it was something to do with the Serim themselves, but his mouth was sweet under my own, and as I brushed my tongue against his, I felt a spike of desire.
I had to kiss the bastard. I hadn’t expected to like it. Disgusted with myself, I dropped his head. It thunked back against the pallet and made a hard noise that my disgruntled psyche found oddly pleasing. And I watched him, waiting.
Sure enough, David’s jaw moved slightly, then flexed in a yawn, and as I watched, his eyes fluttered open.
God, he was beautiful.
God, I hated him.
God, I was so, so confused.
