Goodbye 2014...
I hope your holidays were bright!
There are so many lessons I learned this year but there is something so poignant. Don't dwell on the past because you can't change it or make it better. You can only learn from it.
So today was publication day for Remember... remember, lol. Sorry, I had to say that. But I'm still working on it tireless day and night. It's written, but I'm in the middle of the read through. And although I can publish it because it is complete, I'd rather be late a few days than to publish something subpar. Life happened, holidays, kids getting sick, me catching their germs and so on. So, I’m late.
For those that beta read it or for those that read it on the Swoon Reads site, it's been changed considerably. In fact, I wouldn't suggest skim reading it as I've changed dialogue, personalities and descriptions throughout. As well as several parts hit the cutting room floor in favor of other additions. This book only resembles the story I wrote several years ago because of the characters names, some of which I tweeked. Other than that, the story is far different in substance and not in overall direction.
So what does that mean. It means I need at about a week to finish maybe two, but I can't take that long unless a domino effect happens with my other release dates. Broken Lens is up next and I'm actual ready for it. So a week or less and I’ll get it published.
Also, I haven't forgotten the bonus POVs from Have No Mercy. When I'm editing a book, I can't work on another. I have to read start to finish or else I might miss something. So once Remember is published, I will try and get the bonus POV done.
I hope you love the Peter and Jensen brothers…
Have a HAPPY NEW YEAR and Happy Reading!!! *

FINISHED THE BOOK AND WANT MORE. Post a quick review on Amazon and if you like Barnes & Noble and I'll send you the first few chapters in the next book. Send me the link through the contact me page on my website, www.shannondermott.com.
Release Dates Announced
You guys are the absolute best. Some of you’ve waited patiently, lol. And it’s finally here. Have No Mercy is about done. ARCs have been sent out. And I just have a few minor details until it goes live. But the date is DECEMBER 11, 2014, for better or for worse. I’ve posted teasers on the Goodreads Fan group as well as the Facebook Fan group as well.
Now for those who are awaiting other books. I have four books I’m close to pushing the publishing button on. And 2015, I’m hoping to have less distractions than I’ve had the past few years. I’ll probably have a different book that will publish at least once a month.I have several projects at different stages of the publishing process.
Broken Lens – the long awaited sequel to Through the Lens. This book moves from the young adult genre to the new adult genre. It will be told from the “guys” POV and how things progress in this relationship as they move into a college setting. There is a beautiful cover by Regina of Mae I Design. I will have this book in your hands no later than January 31st. (keeping my fingers crossed.)
Profit & Loss – If you remember Lizzy from Assets, Liabilities and Equity, her story will Striker will be released soon. I have a stunning cover by Sara Eirew and the reveal is this Friday. I don’t have an exact publishing date, but it will be before Valentine’s Day.
Rogue – the sequel to Alliance. This book is written and just needs a little love from me and my writing partner. I’ve posted several chapters on Figment. And I will continue to post chapter until the book goes live. The covers are getting an overhaul. But I promise this book to be released by March of 2015.
Remember – the first book that I ever wrote which has changed by at least 180 degrees from the first draft is pretty much done. The beautiful cover is by Amber of eThinks Graphics. If this novel doesn’t get picked up by a publisher, I will release it December 31, 2014. I have another standalone young adult contemporary novel that has an AWESOME cover. The guy on it is hot, at least I think so, lol. The cover was done by Amber of eThinks Graphics. I’ll release the title and cover hopefully on Christmas day if all goes well. And for my adult fans, I have a secret I hope to share with you in a few weeks. So there is a lot going on. I’ve been a busy be. And 2015 will be the year and a ton of books will be released by me. I hope that makes you happy because it makes me happy. Have an AMAZING holiday season. You guys are the ultimate and I wouldn’t do it without you!!!
Help Spread the Word
In case you missed my facebook post, for those Alliance series fans, I've posted the first five chapters of the second book. If I get through some more editing and my NaNoWriting today, I will try and read through more of Rogue and post more chapters.
Also, I'm making a plea today is to ask for your help. Nothing spreads the word more about a book than the fans that read said book. Therefore, I need fans to help create a street team. Since I write in different genres, if you sign up for the street team, you will only be called upon for the genres you are interested in spreading the word about. And if you are selected to be on a street team event, you will get an ARC of the book. And the ARC will be given so that you can read on whatever device you choose, unless the ARC is a paperback. There also will be giveaways and goodies to for those that are on the team. Once the team is selected, I'll set up a Facebook Street Team page to keep members up to date with what's going on.
Sound interesting... Upcoming events for the street team members would be a cover reveal for Profit and Loss and to help promote Have No Mercy (an ARC will be provided). Depending on what genres you select to help spread the word, you could be called on to help with those events.
If you are interested the link to the sign up is here.
https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1WjAlzrErej8-cqXk1u3nQ-6qWxQVDo9hzEmaeIKKaSQ/viewform?usp=send_form
Most likely sometime this week, I'll contact members about the cover reveal. And then at some point this weekend, I hope to set up the official street team. Thanks guys! You rock!!!

the woman he loves.

is the difference between their assets and the liabilities they’ve created.
