Lake peered through the tent flap at the tall, aging foursome in torn jeans, leather jackets, and bright red hair. “Who are those guys?”

“The Sandhill Screamers,” Forrest said. “They were a pretty hardcore punk band back in the day, but now they’ll cover just about a.n.y.t.h.i.n.g. if you tip them enough.”

The thing you have to remember about guardians is that while we’re animals who have merged with the human world, they are humans who have merged with the wild. They’re very smart, and that often gets in their way.

“What an idiot I’ve been,” he whispered under his breath.

“Well,” said Sheldon indulgently. “That’s natural too.”

True Nature on Rainbow Book Reviews

During all the RT madness, I neglected to post here about a nice review I had of True Nature over on Rainbow Book Reviews. Reviewer Sandra said:

"In the hands of anyone else, the names would have had any reader laughing; Lake Clearwater, Forrest Oakwood, and Heron Greene are funny enough, but Jessica Freely writes in such a way as to make you believe they are real names as they match the characters."

True Nature a Bestseller on ARe

Just got the word that True Nature hit the best-seller list on All Romance eBooks! Woot!

True Nature Available Now!

Well, the website's back up, True Nature is available from fine booksellers everywhere, and all is right with the world. Big thanks to Treva, MT, Calie, Ann, Z, Clance, and everyone else who helped me spread the word yesterday. I have the best friends. I also have a fantastic editor, Venessa Giunta, and cover artist, P.L. Nunn. Thanks for making my book look fabulous, you guys.

As you may or may not know, True Nature was inspired by Pearl Lake, a tiny spring-fed lake in Northern Michigan where Steve and I visit every year. This winter, we bought a plot of vacant land up there, so it seems only fitting that this story is coming out now.

Here's a bit more about True Nature:

Lake Clearwater--conservation officer and water spirit--has just been appointed guardian of Gem Pond by The Powers That Be. It's the first time in eight years he's had a real home and he's determined to protect it, even if that means hiding his attraction to his sexy new partner, Forrest Oakwood.

Forrest is a native of the Gem Pond area and the guardian of its trees. He knows the land and its people are a crucial lynchpin in the natural order. He also knows that if he comes out, his boss in the DNR, Sgt. Dennison, will find an excuse to fire him. But ignoring his true nature was a lot easier before Lake Clearwater showed up. The man's a walking, talking wet dream.

Meanwhile, local residents--human and animal alike--conspire to bring Lake and Forrest together. The land needs its guardians united and at their full power. Dennison wants to cut down the trees to make room for water slides and tennis courts. If Forrest and Lake don't embrace their passion for each other, they'll be unable to stop him and that would be a disaster, not just for Gem Pond but for the entire natural world.

True Nature is available now from Loose Id, Amazon, and All Romance eBooks.
