AMA - You Ask, Bethany Answers!

Hey, loves! It's been a hot minute since we did one of these so might as well, huh? If you have a question for me, you can drop it into the AMA FORM . And thank you, loves. Really. As for yesterday when I mentioned the Ko-fi thing, I probably won't put it in any more posts. It is, however, on the side bar of the blog. And that's where you can find it. Hugs. * 1. Hey! Just a quick one. In Chris, the picture he was shown of Val before the assignment was with her and Haven and Andino. Apparently a wedding? Was this Haven's wedding, because I thought she had disappeared way before. Or I'm I missing something.  As always, mapenzi tele ❤️ (lots of love) Hi there.  You're not wrong ...  LOL.  No here's the thing ... I'm not sure I specified it WAS Haven's wedding, but the suggestion is there for sure. And we all know from Haven and Andino's duet that Valeria had already gone MIA when they were married, so that's not supposed to be possible for her t...

AMA - You Ask, Bethany Answers!

Hey, loves! We're back for another round of AMA on the blog with me, BK. Obviously, it's my blog. Anywho ... Do you have a question for me? Drop it HERE . Okay, onto the questions. * 1. Hi! I just want to say i love your books. You're the Queen of Mafia Romance. No one took the time to do the research like you did ( if i see one more book with the author saying La Familia instead of Famiglia or going on and on about Capo di tutti (gli) capi , i'm gonna smash my kindle. I hate when they do that. Or not having the ranking order right. For god's sakes they can't even bother to check Wikipedia, let alone some other sources. Rambling aside, my question is : are you going to write another series with the Russian Bratva? I don't mean the Avdonin/Vasin famillies, but another series? Altough i wouldn't mind a novella about Roman, but i understand that they said what they had to say. I ask this because generally i prefer Bratva to italians. Thank you! Kisses.  Hi ...

AMA - You Ask, Bethany Answers!

Hey, loves! We're back for our next AMA. If you have a question for me, you can drop it into the form HERE . This is not for outtake requests. Those will be deleted. * 1. Does Antony and Cecilia die so far? They get mentioned less and less in the most recent books of their grandchildren.  I would love to see how the family honor their incredible legacy.  Hey there. If they're dead, readers won't know about it. It won't be mentioned at all. There seems to be a subset of my readers, a small set, that would like to see some kind of funeral or something to honor those two. But there is a larger subset of my readers who have asked repeatedly for me not to put their death on paper. So, if you've been following along with ages - or you've kept some kind of time line for this world, you would know where we are right now in terms of ages. And that's really all I am willing to say on the matter. No, I'm not putting a death on paper of previous characters I have gi...

AMA - You Ask, Bethany Answers!

Hey, loves. We're back for another AMA. I haven't been doing these as often, but I do plan to do at least one a month or perhaps two if there are enough questions in the form to do so. If you have a question for me, you can drop it into the form HERE . Hugs. * 1. Will you be writing Penny's story? Yep. It comes out in 2020. Find more info on my website on the Coming Soon page. 2. Would Dare and Cree get a full book or at least some snippets leading up to how they came together as a couple?  As of right now, I am not really planning anything for Cree or Dare. I may write a series for The League and members of it. Other than that, they haven't really talked to me or made their storyline clear. If anything changes in that regard, the readers will, of course, be the first to know as you usually are. :) 3. Have you ever thought about putting your books together by order of events? I notice a lot of characters are involved in the same event. Like Andino’s wedding to Ginny was...

AMA - You Ask, BK Answers!

Hey, loves! We’re back for another round of AMA where you ask me all your burning questions, and I do my very best to answer them. As a reminder, my AMA form isn’t the place for Outtake requests, as I do have a form for those and I post it every Friday whenever I write and post an outtake on the blog for you. So, please put that there so it doesn’t get deleted on you.  Do you have a question for me?  Awesome.  Drop it into my form  HERE  and I will get to it as soon as I can.  Onto the questions!  * 1.  Hi Bethany, love your work! Since this year you will be releasing the Guzzi boys I was wondering if you planned on doing a boxset for them like you did earlier this year for Ren and Lucia? If so would you include all 5 books? Thanks for answering.  Hi there.  So, the Guzzi series is actually 6 books, not five. And no, they will not all be included in one boxset. The first two, Corrado and Alessio will be in their own duet boxset, and the ...

Hey BK<3 so I remember reading a clip from a upcoming story of yours a while ago. It was in a bar and the female bartender was talked down upon by a guy talking to the male lead and he got angry but didn’t show it. Do you remember this and if so when is this coming out!!! Need. lol thanks. Hi there – you have your details confused a bit, I think. I have all of one heroine that served drinks behind the bar, and that was Haven, in the bar/strip club she owned. In Duty, I believe it was,...

WIP Wednesday: The Hunted

Hey, all! We're back for another WIP Wednesday! So, I actually posted this teaser in my reader group late last night - but SUPER late. So, here it is again. For those who may not be aware, The Hunted is a Paranormal/Fantasy romance about shifting mermaids and the landwalkers/humans who hunt them. Enjoy, loves. * The Hunted (January 2020) * “Wait!” She didn’t. The last thing he saw from the red-headed mermaid was the tips of her tail fin that peeked out from the water before disappearing beneath the surface again. Those bluish-green scales with the black markings seemed to wink at him—taunt him—before she was gone. Rage filled him. Disbelief, too. The confusion was the worst, though. He mind raced from one memory to the next. He tried to put all the pieces together, but it felt like none of it made sense. Oh, he knew what happened. Remembered it perfectly well. But why? His gaze scanned the water, entirely ignoring the ship that was now skimming along the edge of the shoreline of th...

How does it feel too know so many fictional characters? They have all families and friends and you just keep giving us amazing stories I just wanna know how your daily mind goes at it to walk around their world and know this happens. Also this may be too probing but I am a avid fan of your work so yeah. Much love, keep doing what your doing and waiting next book to come out. Hi there! And thank you so much. This is a really great question because it’s so different, and I love that, so it...

AMA - You Ask, Bethany Answers!

Hey, loves! We're back again for another AMA where I answer 3-5 of your burning questions as much as I possibly can. Do you have a question for me? Awesome. Drop it into the form HERE . Onto the questions for the week. * 1. Before I post it in the outtake form, I want to know whether it's possible to get snippets of Dare and Cree. Along the lines of romance, wit, fights. Anything really. They are almost all I think about after finishing the Renzo and Lucia books. Hi there. So this is kind of hard to say, because I really don't know. I have intentions of LIKELY writing something for The League in the future which means they will probably be showcased a lot given their status in the business, and ownership on one man's part. So I'm not sure they will specifically get a book, but I also know I don't want to just write things for them willy nilly when I very well might end up contradicting myself in a book at some time in the future. So that's something I have ...

AMA - You Ask, Bethany Answers!

 Hey, all! Happy Tuesday. It’s AMA time again which means I answer all your burning questions, or at least 3-5 of them from my form. You can add in new questions for me HERE . If I don't have new questions, I can't keep the AMA up. Okay, onto the questions for the day: 1. Some other authors I follow have given lists of music they listen to while writing or if they play a specific song to help them write a scene. I was wondering if you did that and if you'd share any particular songs/playlists that help you write? Reaaaaallly want to know about any you used for Cross&Catherine!!! Also if this got asked before sorry! I went through the blog but didn't see any references to it. Hi there. I do listen to a lot of music while writing, and I also (usually) make a playlist for every single book or just a single playlist for a series of books following the same couple. You can find all my playlists on my youtube profile HERE . Including the 100 plus song playlist that...

AMA - You Ask, Bethany Answers!

Hey, loves! We’re back for another AMA where you ask me all the questions, and I do my best to answer them. Please remember, I do these a month ahead of time, so if you’re wondering where your question is, it’s probably already done and in the queue to be posted. Do you have a question for me? Cool. Drop it in the form HERE . This form is not a place for outtake requests—they will be deleted. It is also not a place for people to just abuse me, because if I don’t delete those, I will post them publicly just because I am that bitch. Onto the questions. * 1. Hi Bethany, you are such an amazing writer! Girl, I AM HOOKED! The Marcello boys, JUST WOW! I want them all! I just finished the Gun Moll series (loved it) and I was wondering if Enric & Victoria will get a book? I did some research, in case you did answer this question already, and you did mention on Goodreads that there was a book.... Hi there. And yes, thank you for looking to see if there was already an answer out there ...

AMA - You Ask, Bethany Answers!

Hey, loves! We’re back for another AMA where I answer 3-5 questions from my form, or however many are currently in there waiting for me. If you have a question you want to ask about my books, a particular character you love, or one you want to see and know more about, that’s great. Drop it into the form HERE . This is not an outtake request form. * 1. OK, so Ren and Lucia were totally worth waiting for. They are brilliant and I love them so much. But, after reading Contempt all I can think about is Cree. That man, I need more of him. Will we see him in Corrado's book or any other (please say "yes")? Fantastic trilogy, Mrs Kris. Thank you. You will see more of Cree in Corrado and Alessio, book one and two of the Guzzi Legacy. Whether or not Cree will get his own book is yet to be determined, but I promise you will learn so much more about him in their books … some things might even surprise you. He’s a very private man. I have considered possibly doing a series for T...

AMA - You Ask, Bethany Answers!

Hey, loves! It’s AMA time again, and by now I think most of know how that goes – I answer a few of your questions, and you leave me more. Haha. If you have a question for me, then drop it in HERE . Onto the q’s for the week! * 1. Will any of Adriano or Alessa’s daughters be a featured character? I’m super curious about them. Hi there. Highly unlikely. Which trust me, is just as strange to you as it is to me. For whatever reason, their daughters just haven’t come into my head like others have. I never had any real ideas for second generation books for them and whatnot. I never say never because my muse is fickle and it could change, but as of now, they haven’t showed up. And they haven’t really shown any interest in showing up in someone else’s book either. Sorry. 2. I’m a sucker for a hot single dad so I’m super excited about Pink getting a standalone. Any deets on the lucky partner for him? Will they help him out in the laundry department? Lol. Hey. I almost said he would be my first ...

WIP: BENE (The Guzzi Legacy, 5)

Hey, loves. So, lately for WIPs on the blog, I have been sharing from the next release, but because Dirty Pool doesn't come out for a bit ... I can spare a snippet from Bene, another Guzzi Legacy book. Do enjoy. ;) * “Vanna, is it?” Vanna turned away from Marcus who had been showing her the long corridor in the mansion that was dedicated solely to portraits of the Guzzi family. Currently, she was admiring a recent one of Cara surrounded by her boys as young men in a forest setting where she sat on a throne, staring head on at the artist painting, proud as could be over the empire around her. An army of principes . And a queen leading them. The woman in the picture was the same one walking toward her now. Marcus dropped Vanna’s hand that had been tucked into his elbow with a smile, but only long enough to greet his mother with a one-armed hug, and kiss to her cheek. “I’ll give you two a minute,” he murmured. “ Grazie, mio raggazo .” “Be nice, Ma.” Cara laughed, winking Vanna’s way a...

AMA - You Ask, Bethany Answers!

Hey, loves! We’re back to our usual AMA, where I answer 3-5 ish of your burning questions, depending on the number that was dropped into my form. Reminder: I do these a month ahead, if you’re wondering where your question is, that very well may be the case is that it’s in queue. Also, please check old AMAs, because I have literally answered the same five questions about Andino, Zeke, or a couple others ten times … at least. So please, check them, you will probably find the answer to those questions. Do you have a question for me? Awesome. Drop it into the form HERE , and I will get to it. Okay, loves. Onto the questions for the week. * 1. Hi, Bethany, what made you decide to write Cozen and Sargon as Muslim in the AMA form, in their book it didn’t really seem that way? Hi there. You can go read Cozen again, if you’d like, but it was mentioned where Sargon’s parents came from, and their heritage. Persian, who came from Iran. Toward the end, it was also mentioned about the “ornate prayer...

The Naz & Roz Chronicles - Chapter 17

Hey, loves! We’re back to the Naz & Roz blog series. Do enjoy this one. And if you haven't noticed, the blog series now has a cover! Isn't it so perfect? The girl. The piano .... yes. All of it. Compliments of Sasha Elle, who designed this for me last week. So thanks so much to her. And when this is finished, I will compile the series into a book, and you can download it from my website.  Want to catch up? Naz and Roz Blog Series CHAPTER ONE CHAPTER TWO CHAPTER THREE CHAPTER FOUR CHAPTER FIVE CHAPTER SIX CHAPTER SEVEN CHAPTER EIGHT CHAPTER NINE CHAPTER TEN CHAPTER ELEVEN CHAPTER TWELVE CHAPTER THIRTEEN CHAPTER FOURTEEN CHAPTER FIFTEEN CHAPTER SIXTEEN * Comes Back Around Penny POV “Miss Dunsworth, what is the square root of—” “Pass,” Penny muttered. “You can’t just pass a question because you don’t want to answer it, Penny.” She sighed. “Pass.” Light laughter filtered through the classroom, but Penny was more interested in staring out the w...
