Looks like my historical interracial baby The Lord and the Scorpion is still getting great reviews in spite of all things, my love story is still strong enough to hold its own and I'm such a proud mommy.

I got 4 ANGELS from FALLEN ANGEL REVIEWS

The Lord and The Scorpion
Lord Ethan Clare is his own man although his family and Queen are forcing him to do his duty and marry once again. He lost his first wife in childbirth and he really does not want to marry again. Ethan will do as he is asked even though he has fallen for another. He has made many enemies while working for his Queen. Now he has found the one for him and they are both tangled in a web of intrigue and deceit. Ethan has his hands full with the mysterious Sauda, his family duties and trying to discover who the leader of the Knights of Darkness is. Ethan is different from the rest of his family and he does not know why. Sauda is like no one he has ever met and he is willing to give everything up for their forbidden love. Sauda Mauri is a trained assassin. She has been a slave and an assassin for many years and now she has a chance of freedom if she can complete her mission. She has run away from her master and is traveling under the disguise of Lady Francis’s nursemaid so she can get her assignments and earn her freedom. She does not need a complication and Lord Ethan is more than determined to be just that. She will not let her emotions get the better of her; she has a job to do. Sauda will not be his mistress and can never be his wife. Will Sauda follow her heart or will she settle for being Ethan’s mistress? Will Ethan forget family duties and take a chance with his forbidden love? Shiree McCarver has got this reviewer’s attention with The Lord and The Scorpion. Ms. McCarver has done an awesome job of telling this story of romance, suspense, and lots of mystery for the reader to enjoy. The Lord and The Scorpion has everything a reader is looking for and so much more. Ms. McCarver hooks you from the beginning with love at first sight and keeps you hooked to the very end with the mystery of the Knights of Darkness. The Lord and The Scorpion is a fabulous historical romance with a lot of spice to turn up the heat. Sauda is one powerful heroine that will keep you on your toes and Ethan is one alpha hero that everyone can fall in love with. I truly enjoyed reading The Lord and The Scorpion and I cannot wait to get Ms. McCarver’s next book. Reviewed by: Sonya

Hello Everyone!
Hope all of you are having a great spring/summer. I say summer because in ALabama we don't have spring anymore. It goes from cold to hot and the humidity is awful. I, for one do my home hybernating in the hot season instead of the cold. As I became older I became a Fall and Winter person. I also hope all of you had a great Memorial weekend and came through it safely. For those who handling the children out of school, bless you...lol and for those on the way to summer holiday have a safe journey.
Ok, with that said, let's see what's going on with me? Currently, I am working on the free read and I apologize. It is taking longer then I had originally planned. I have been working on it, along with doing my edits and rewrites for Forever Moonlight that will be released by http://www.oceansmistpress.com/. For those of you who are enjoying the free read Zaza and Sylus and curious to who the Selby and Darius are that are referred to often in the book, they are the couple featured in my first novel A Satyr's Tale:Selby and Darius, so if you would like to know more about this wonderful couple, visit http://www.oceansmistpress.com/ and get your ebook copy.
Forever Moonlight, as some know is something I am proud of and in a small ways ties in with my Satyr's because the male wolf shifter, Justus, is a distant cousin of Darius for those who didn't know. So you definately want to be in line for this intriguing tale of love.I have yet to receive a release date so I have been working at a slower pace to make this a well written and edited read. It will be my first novel at Ocean's Mist that will be offered in Ebook and Print. I am really excited about this move on Ocean's Mist part and think it will help move them up in the 'up and coming' status for many authors. This will allow us to reach more readers.
All in all, as an unpublished writer, all you have time for is dreaming of the day you

Hello everyone, Hope all is going well and everyone is adjusting to the time change. Feels like the day is flying by.
I am one of those that wish we could have one time and stay there, but I think they (whomever the they is that came up with daylight savings time) have a reason for everything and if not they have this way of making us think they know what's best for us. Let's see what's going on with me.
It seems as if The Lord and the Scorpion is turning out to be well received and I have all you to thank for that. It looks like I'm still set for it to be published in paperback form on May 12th, hopefully that will reach out to those that do not like reading their books online. Thank all of you who have sent me wonderful notes, letters, and comments on the other group boards, it has been appreciated.
I am currently working on A Satyr's Tale: Zaza and Sylus, I know...I know I could have sworn it would be finish by now but it seems to be turning into a full flege book instead of the short sweet read I had intended. The characters decided they wanted to be complicated so what can you do? lol The good news is, after I edit the chapters I will be posting them to the website free read so you can go ahead and get started reading. This will be up starting Thursday morning.
I have made some head way on the second installment of The Assassin series. All these books will stand alone, so don't feel as if you will be cheated by the story of the characters being incomplete. They will have their ending or new beginning at the end of the book, depending on how you like to look at it.

For those of you who don't know The assassin series will consist of four books about four female assasins of African birth, who have been raised and trained as courtesan assasins for a Japanese Warlord Widow named Lady Chiyome and her loyal General.The first book is The Lord and the Scorpion, the second will be The Prince and the Panther, the third is The Warlord and the Dragon and the last will be The Pirate and the Cobra.

So you see it here first!Meanwhile, I have been asked by Samhain to write something for them and I haven't figured out yet what, but I would like to do something for them. I am rewriting The Black Dove, which once I'm finish I will see if it fits their format or NCP's and submit it based on that decision. It, is an Interracial Regency/Napoleonic romance, actually the first historical I ever wrote, so I need to revamp using the lessons I've learned over the years. Well for now that is all that is going on with me. I should have an add coming out in Romantic Times, for the Lord and the Scorpion, hopefully to coinside with the release of the paperback. I will let you know once I know. Those who are reading my doll soap opera, well unfortunately this will probably be the last month for it. So I will have the bachelor and bachelorette party, wedding and reception photos up by next week, sorry I don't have time to persue it anymore or delve deeper into finishing the storylines, but I think I only had about 3 die hard viewers anyway...so I can't let my miniature craft work and business go, and this was the only other thing I had going on that I could cut out in order to utilize more of my time to writing.

Last but not least, I got spring fever. Starting yesterday and finishing today I stripped my bedroom walls of wall paper so I'm looking at this ugly wall in my bedroom as I try to think about what I want to go with next. I have some Japanese art peices I hate to get rid of so I don't know if I will stick to my Asian theme and just change the colors or what. I was wanting to go more Bouduin and add more colors. Here is a link if you want to see my bedroom before and when ever, it may be months from now, I get started and finsh I will put a after. photo.http://pg.photos.yahoo.com/ph/shreeree/detail?.dir=ba83&.dnm=e15b.jpg&.src=ph

Ok, well anyone else got stuff going on for this month let us know by sharing and happy April Everyone!Ree

In a time when their love is forbidden, two people will join together and find a passion unlike any other.

Ethan Clare wants the woman from the second he runs into her. He can’t explain the strong attraction he feels for the Moor woman, but knows that he must see her again. When she saves the Queen’s life, Ethan finds the perfect opportunity to get to know who this remarkable woman is. Of course she hides secrets that he longs to uncover. When he is asked to help find out the assassin who tried to kill the queen he eagerly agrees knowing he will be working with Sauda. In a time where their love is forbidden, can they find a way to be together?

Sauda Mauri knows the sparks have flown from the second Ethan stepped on her dress. It doesn’t help that he is so handsome and seems unwilling to give up trying to find out who she is. When she gets hurt protecting the Queen, she awakens to find him at her bedside. She knows she is in trouble by the look in his eyes and determines that she needs to make a quick getaway. However, Ethan is asked to help uncover who the culprits are that is behind the attempt on the Queen’s life. Is a life with Ethan possible or just a dream?

THE LORD AND THE SCORPION is an awesome tale and readers will find themselves hooked until the last page. Sauda is a courageous and strong woman who does what is necessary. Ethan has had to deal with much in his past, but finding Sauda is a stroke of luck for him. Together this couple is hotter than hot and the sparks fly at every interaction. Shiree McCarver is a new talent who is proving that she has what it takes to create intriguing and clever plots that readers won’t soon forget. I look forward to seeing what her next book brings.
