Release Day At Last! Rebel Obsession Is Here! #BlogTour #Giveaway

I've been a busy author for the past week, getting my latest book ready for release.

Rebel Obsession is the third novel in my All the King's Men (AKM) series, and tells the story of the ill-reputed playboy, Io, as he finds himself lured out of his Casanova ways into uncharted territory: monogamy. As you can imagine, for Io to discard his womanizing lifestyle, which he was quite content living, takes a pretty special female. Enter the king's daughter, Miriam. She's one such female, and not because of her royal connection. Io was smitten with her even before learning she was the princess. Unfortunately, her father stands in their way of being together, and when a rebel like Io goes up against the king to stake a claim to his daughter, sparks will definitely fly. But it sure makes for an entertaining story as we follow along and see how Io will overcome the adversity King Bain represents to take what's his, Miriam.

Rebel was a labor of love, the hardest book I've written to date, but the one I feel the most proud of. This story morphed numerous times through about a dozen edits, partial rewrites, and proofs, finally closing up at 114,800 words. It's the longest book of the series by a mile, and it's chock-full of action, as well as a couple of juicy sub-plots. New enemies are introduced, and a couple of other new characters come into play who will play pivotal roles in future books.

A special thank you goes out to cover model, Zach Tesar, and photographer Joem Bayawa (Joem Bayawa Photography in Chicago). Between the two of them, they gave me the perfect Io for the cover of the book, and Zach captured Io's rebellious, protective essence brilliantly. You can find Zach on Facebook here: Zach Tesar. Joem Bayawa has an impressive portfolio on Facebook, and you can see all his shots of Zach and so many more fabulous models here: Joem Bayawa Photography. Many blessings and gratitude to them for helping make the cover of Rebel Obsession a fan favorite. Make sure to swing by and tell them hello when you get the chance.
