Phoenix Burning Bright by Michelle Stevens AKA Red Phoenix

I have a series out under another pen name. Why the pen name Michelle Stevens? Because this is a romance (no erotica) and there is a spiritual twist.

This series is a fictionalized version of my romance with my husband back in the 80's:

Phoenix Rising #1 (Free)

Phoenix Takes Flight #2

Phoenix Soars #3

and now...

Phoenix Burns Bright #4

The ending packs a punch, it is the culmination of many events in my life rolled into this one tragedy. While the event itself did not happen, the emotions behind it are very real.

It book was well received by several publishers except... they wanted me to change the ending. Well, in fact, I was told to cut off the book once the couple (hubby and I) got married.

My story is meant to have an impact - a positive one - and I am proud to offer the conclusion publishers were reluctant to embrace.

Phoenix Burning Bright (Book 4 of 4): 

Before the world of Facebook, Chat Rooms and Blogs, there were online communities called Bulletin Boards…

Beth Lynn is ready to marry The Keeper, AKA Scott Reiner, the extraordinary man she met on a computer BBS. A romantic wedding, a baby and career success are all in Beth’s future. What she doesn’t know is that a tragedy is racing towards her, one that will change everything. Join Beth as she navigates this unexpected turn of events and discovers her hope in the flames.

* The fourth part of Beth’s journey is the most profound yet. The highs of life are hers to enjoy, a sexy honeymoon, the joy of a child and the success in her teaching career. Yet… she is a phoenix and her time to burn has come. She is brought to her knees by events that will ultimately define her. For you see, she is a phoenix ~ her future requires the flames. 

Red Phoenix of the Brie series is Michelle Stevens???

Rumors are that Red Phoenix writes under the pen name - Michelle Stevens

Well folks, it's true. I do have a romantic serial called the Phoenix series. It is the fictionalized courtship of my hubby and I back in the 1980's. I wrote it under the name Michelle Stevens because it is purely romance (no erotica) and it has spiritual undertones.

The third installment of the four part series has just been published. You can find the series on Amazon, Smashwords, B&N and iTunes.

This is not only how I met my soul mate, but also the spiritual journey I have been on. If you want to understand Red Phoenix, this will show you another side of me. Hubby and I were young and naive once. ;)

But I must warn you, this is a romantic tragedy. I have had much loss in my life and this serial was my avenue for sharing with the world that you can suffer deep pain and still rise again, strong but wiser. Life is a gift! We all have within us the power of the phoenix.

The third installment of the four part series is just out. You can find the serial on Amazon, Smashwords, B&N and iTunes.

What's Ahead for Red Phoenix?

Red Phoenix, 2012

So, you finished Brie and are checking out the countdown clock wondering what on earth Red Phoenix could be doing for three months. Well...let me tell ya!

1) I am currently finishing the professional edits of the complete Brie collection. The full-length novel previously published as 9 novelettes will be hot off the presses sometime in the next two weeks - definitely before Thanksgiving, 2012. I not only hired a highly experienced editor, but I have also commissioned a custom photo shoot. I think you'll agree when you see the cover that it totally captures the allure of the Brie series. The title of the over 400 page soon-to-be released novel is Brie Learns the Art of Submission.

 

2) While doing the edits, I am also finishing up the second novella to my Phoenix series, Phoenix Takes Flight. This is written under my pen name Michelle Stevens because it is a romance novel - NOT erotica. If you like my writing style and you want to read a fictionalized account of my 80's romance with my incredible husband of 20 years, then you might want to give it a read, Phoenix Rising. The first novella is free on all the major eBook stores (except Amazon, which I expect to match soon).

 3) At the same time, I am also working on a secret writing project - one assigned to me by my hubby. He is pleased with the results to date, and I hope you will be too. :) I will reveal when it is complete.

4) But that is not all folks! I will be finishing up the year writing the second book to the Varick series. Varick: The Reluctant introduced my vamp; it is a vampire story like no other. If you have read any of my books, then you know I march to the beat of a different drummer and so do my stories. My vamps are cruel not wimpy, but the love that emerges from one unusual couple will change the vampire world forever. Hence the sequel, Varick: The Reckoning.

I promise this little chick is working hard. I am thrilled to bring Brie's Submissive Training to you as a novel in both eBook and paperback! (Now all the non eReaders can finally have their first taste of Brie.) Know that the story has NOT changed; it will just read a lot smoother. If you have purchased the series, you do not need to purchase the collection. The one scene that has been added in the novel will be posted on this blog so you won't be missing out. :)

Thank you for all your support this year. I wouldn't be having this much fun without you!

Sincerely with hugs,

~Red
