Happy Labor Day Weekend!! I have no idea where the summer went, but I can’t lie. I’m looking forward to some cooler weather. I didn’t get done nearly as much as I wanted to, but that’s okay. I’ve been pretty busy with book stuff even if it doesn’t feel like I’ve made much progress. I’ve actually been polishing up a couple of my older books, and if you’re in the mood for a happily ever after that has fall vibes, Rescue Me might just be what you’re looking for. It’s available on Kindle, in Kindle Unlimited, and Paperback. https://www.amazon.com/Rescue-Me-Billionaire-Standalone-Romance-ebook/dp/B0BGT13LPR

If you’re not interested in entering the giveaway but would like to pre-order it or add it to your wishlist, the Amazon link is here: https://www.amazon.com/Loss-Damages-VM-Rheault-ebook/dp/B0FKFH8QT9

Since I’ve been working on getting Loss and Damages ready to go and dusting off some of my older titles, that means I’m really itching to start writing again. I can’t wait to start working on a new book, and that’s what I’ll be doing for the rest of the year. I’m excited because that means I’ll have two books out next year–Wicked Games, a small town romantic suspense, and Bitter Love, a small town second chance. Both are standalones, something I’ve been enjoying writing lately.

So, bookmark this website or sign up to the blog for cover reveals, ARC signups, and more!

Enjoy the holiday!

I am so happy to say that I finally got all my copies of my Rocky Point Wedding Series and I can host my giveaway!

I’m giving away two signed paperback copies of the series, and I will ship to the US and Canada. If you enter but live elsewhere, I’ll happily email you PDFs of the series.

These books are a little older, written in 3rd person, and they’re small-town holiday romances with a few open-door sexy scenes in each book. I published them back in 2020, but since then I have re-edited them and gave them fresh covers. If you want to read the blurbs before you enter, you can find them on my books page here: https://vmrheault.com/books/books-as-vania-rheault/

To enter, fill out this Google Form, and I will draw two names on March 1st. I asked if you want to be added to this newsletter as this blog post and giveaway link will go out to more than just my subscribers, but if your answer no, it won’t affect your chances of winning.

Thank you for being a reader, and I wish you good luck!

PS: If you want to see me in person, I recorded a video where I talk about the giveaway and my plans for this year. I posted it on my FB author page, and you can see it here. https://fb.watch/xR-b0mxLKA/

My January Recap

♥︎♥︎♥︎JANUARY RECAP♥︎♥︎♥︎

Everyone is saying that January went by so slowly but I can’t believe it’s the last day of the month. If you had New Year’s Resolutions, how have they been working out so far?

January was a busy time for me, though it feels like I didn’t get much done. I’ve been editing the next book I’m going to release in September, LOSS AND DAMAGES, but mostly I’ve just been giving myself some down time after editing and launching my King’s Crossing series and revamping an old series, A Rocky Point Wedding. (Don’t ask me how many times I’ve watched Twisters!)

I’ve also been trying to catch a missing cat in our neighborhood. I see him in a park close to my apartment, and I’ve been leaving food out at a shelter under a picnic table. When I go check, sometimes it’s gone and sometimes it’s not. I don’t know who is eating it when it’s gone, but I always fill the bowl. He won’t come to me, darting off whenever he sees me, but I haven’t given up hope that one day he’ll let me catch him.

♥︎♥︎♥︎WHAT’S NEXT♥︎♥︎♥︎

February is going to be a busy month. I’m going to finish the editing pass I’m doing on LOSS AND DAMAGES and start writing WICKED GAMES, a billionaire romantic suspense standalone novel. I have a tentative release date of January 2026. That’s thinking a little too far ahead, but I like having my ducks in a row and having something to look forward to. Having a goal and a plan is what keeps me going and gives me motivation to keep opening my laptop.

It’s nice working on standalones as they aren’t so stressful to put together. When I write a series, I think of it as one long story and handling that many words takes a lot of time and effort. I love it, though, and my next project after WICKED GAMES is a four-book series. I already have two books written that I wrote during the pandemic, but I haven’t looked at them for a long time so I know they’ll need some work. Hopefully after releasing two standalones I’ll be up to the task. After that is anyone’s guess what I’ll be doing, but that is WAY too far ahead to be thinking about right now.

Also in February I’ll finally be able to hold my giveaway…so stay tuned for that.

♥︎♥︎♥︎KING’S CROSSING UPDATE♥︎♥︎♥︎

Four of the six books are out now, and I’ve been getting awesome feedback! Thank you all to everyone who has supported me during the release. They’re books I’m very proud of, and I’m so happy readers are enjoying them! There are still two more books to go, book 4 in March and the last in April! If you’re looking for something to read while waiting for the weather to brighten up and get warm, you can start here: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0CX7SFGB5

That’s all my news for right now! I hope you all had an amazing start to 2025. Keep in touch!

Woodsmoke and Things to Come

She rubs her hand over my jaw, and I turn into her touch. I kiss her, and we stop talking. I forget everything but how she makes me feel. Like I can do no wrong. Like I’m the true king of King’s Crossing

October has been a busy month for me! I’m almost done editing the third book (of four) in a series I released a really long time ago. It’s been a bit foreign to read them–there’s not one rich guy in the bunch! But I remember how much I adore small town romance and if you like small town holiday series, I will definitely let you know when the edits are live and are available. I’m thinking of doing something with them for Christmas, so stay tuned for that.

Cruel Fate‘s launch went well, and there’s still time to enter the Goodreads giveaway! Over 1200 people have entered so far. It ends on the 25th and you can enter here: https://www.goodreads.com/giveaway/enter_kindle_giveaway/397874-cruel-fate

Book Two, Cruel Hearts, will release this month on the 28th. The first three are specially priced during the preorder time period. The first you can still buy for .99, the second is on preorder and will be available after it’s live for 1.99, and the third one is on preorder and will be available after it’s live on December 9th for 2.99. I know buying a long series can get expensive so I wanted to put them on sale for a bit. You can find books 1-6 here: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0CX7SFGB5

Things here are good and as always, I’m looking ahead. After I revise that old series, I’m going to jump back into my pen name and start working on a standalone book that will be released after my King’s Crossing series is out. We’re talking pretty far into next year now, but it makes me excited for things to come. I’ve decided to table another standalone for now and work on a series that I started during COVID. I have the first two books done, but decisions will need to be made as to how long that series will be. Zane, Stella, Gage, and Zarah kind of wiped me out, and I don’t know if I’m up to tackling another big project like that. We’ll have see how I feel after the New Year. I think four books in a series is a pretty good size, but authors aren’t usually in control of that. We’ll see what the characters say.

I went for a walk the other day, crunching through the leaves. It’s my favorite time of year, and it’s nice to walk in the evening, the cool breeze blowing the scent of woodsmoke around. I haven’t had the pleasure of seeing the auroras, but I’m going to have to face facts that I’m just too tired at night and won’t be able to stay up late enough to see them.

That’s all I have for you this week. I’ll leave you with my reminder that my billionaire, ugly-duckling standalone is available to download, either here or from the subscribe page. I hope you enjoy and tell me what you think! I love Brady and Allie. They were really fun to write. Take care!

Preorders and Pretty Things

Fall is almost here, but you wouldn’t know it by the temperatures out there. Even as I’m writing this, it’s 80 degrees Fahrenheit. Though the leaves may be turning, summer is hanging on. I’m not complaining about it–when it gets cold too fast, winter can feel like forever so it’s better to enjoy the sun while you can. I’ve been sitting on the balcony in the mornings, drinking coffee and feeding squirrels. They know who I am and that I have peanuts. They’re getting brave enough to crawl pretty close to me, and it’s one of the highlights of my day.

In more exciting news, Cruel Fate went live Monday! Well, Sunday night because of some odd timing Amazon has, but still, I am so happy to see this series slowly releasing out into the world. It’s $0.99 if you want to pick it up, and it’s available in Kindle Unlimited if you want to borrow it.

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0DGH2SPR6

This is also a good time to say that if you read an ARC of it, you can leave your review! They are slowly trickling in, as you can see, and sometimes it takes a while for people to remember or find the time. I understand, and any review left is very much appreciated!

The others will be live on these dates and are all on preorder now:

Cruel Hearts, Book Two, October 28th, 2024:
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0DGM8V82R

Cruel Dreams, Book Three, December 9th, 2024
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0D14VSJHK

Shattered Fate, Book Four, January 20th, 2025
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0DH5C6VTR

Shattered Hearts, Book Five, March 3rd, 2025
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0DH8ZF8NM

Shattered Dreams, Book Six, April 14th, 2025
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0DH9F6QX3

Book two is on sale for $1.99 and book three is on sale for $2.99. The others are full price. I’m not sure how long they’ll be on sale, but I marked them down so it would be easier to buy the full series.

Right now I’m working on kind of a secret project, and I hope I have something to announce by November. It’s old, something that needs some attention, but after a shine, I hope that my readers will enjoy it.

Thanks for reading, and I hope you have a lovely weekend ahead!

Stuff your E-Reader Day and Other News

June came in with a little excitement . . . we had an old plastic dog house on our balcony our late cat, Pumpkin, liked to sleep in. One afternoon I was sitting outside and I saw a wasp fly into it. That didn’t give me a good feeling, and I was right to be curious. I looked inside and saw she was building a nest. I felt bad because she didn’t choose s safe place. Well, maybe she did, but I didn’t feel safe having her around, and my son and I ended up throwing the house into the dumpster. She had only just started on it, it wasn’t even as big as a golf ball, and she flew around the balcony for a couple of days before giving up and moving on. I didn’t want to kill her, and I hope she found a better place and started building a new nest. My son and daughter were sad that we had to throw Pumpkin’s house away as it was one of the few reminders we had left of him.
