Going Back to Rescue Me

I’ll tell you a funny story. Authors are told they should give away a reader magnet, or a “cookie” as it’s sometimes called, to encourage readers to sign up for their newsletters. I didn’t start a newsletter for many years into my publishing adventure, but when I started this pen name, I wanted to do things the “right” way, and decided to start a newsletter and give away a free book to get readers to sign up. I wanted to give away a novella, but, as I found out, no matter how hard I tried, I can’t write short.

I have never been able to, not with all the horrible backstories that I give my characters, and I wrote My Biggest Mistake, Rescue Me, and Faking Forever, trying to write something on the shorter side that I could give away. In the end, I just accepted it and decided to give away the shortest of those books–My Biggest Mistake–which you can find on the subscribe page of this website. That’s why I have so many standalones in my backlist (besides the fact that I just like writing them). Rescue Me was supposed to be short enough for a reader magnet, but as with all my characters, Sam and Lily didn’t care what I wanted.

I published Rescue Me on September 29th, 2022, and I re-edited it last year. I’ve always liked the cover, and even though he’s been used many times on other romance book covers, I was so happy when I found the model that I chose for Sam. He fits Sam perfectly, and luckily, that man’s been around the block! He had many many many poses to choose from and I was able to redo the cover using the same model. I love that! The cover will have the same author name and title, but a different background, model pose, and title font treatment.

I can’t believe it’s been four years since I published Sam and Lily’s story, and they deserve some attention. My birthday is next month (November 28th), so look here soon for the new cover reveal and a little thank you for being the fabulous readers that you are! In the meantime, here’s the old cover and a very small peek at what the new cover will look like!

A side-by-side graphic announcing an upcoming cover redesign for Rescue Me by VM Rheault. On the left, the current cover features a handsome, silver-haired man in a black suit adjusting his tie against a textured teal background, with the title in large white lettering. On the right, the new cover is deliberately blurred to conceal its design. Both covers appear against a black patterned background, with white script headings reading “Current Cover” and “New Cover Coming Soon!”
If you like Rescue Me‘s current cover and haven’t purchased the book yet, do it soon!
It will be going away in the next couple of weeks.

I hope you all are having a wonderful fall, and if you celebrate Halloween, stay safe out there!

Author Update | Last Day of March!

Today is the last day of March! Which means here in Minnesota it could start warming up or we’ll have another blizzard in two weeks. Hard to tell, but the days are getting longer, and the sun is shining right now.

As for what I’ve got going on, the last book in my King’s Crossing series, SHATTERED DREAMS, will be available on April 14th, and I know lots of you are waiting for it! This is also a gentle reminder that if you picked up the ARCs for this series and haven’t left a review, now would be great time! Reviews help readers find books they enjoy, so please leave yours, even if you didn’t like it! What you may not have liked someone else could love, so don’t be afraid to share your thoughts!

Books 1, 2, and 3 are still on sale, so if you were wanting to buy them, now is the time. I don’t know when I’ll change the prices, if ever, because I know how expensive it can be to commit to a long series like that, but as always, they’re available in Kindle Unlimited, too. You can take a look at all the books here: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0CX7SFGB5

In other news, I’m almost done writing WICKED GAMES! I’ve been sharing excerpts here and there on my Facebook author page, and I constantly look at the cover (yes, it’s already done!) for inspiration. Once it’s finished, I’ll set it aside to breathe and focus on getting LOSS AND DAMAGES, a standalone billionaire novel, ready to go. ARCs will be available this summer!

I have lots happening, so be sure you follow this blog to stay in the know!

Don’t forget since you’re here, you can download a free book, MY BIGGEST MISTAKE. It’s a full-length ugly duckling billionaire novel I give away for free to say thank you for supporting my work! I appreciate all of you! https://BookHip.com/CMSVSNK

Have a good Monday, everyone, and here’s to a bright and sunny April!
