STONE - A Time to Love
Spring is a time of change so I decided to start a new series. STONE (A Time to Love Book 1) is a time travel sci-fi romance. It goes on Amazon pre-order beginning Sunday, March 6, 2016 at a discounted price of $1.99. (Psst...don't tell anyone but the price will increase to $2.99 on the release date of March 31. 2016). There are several books out with the title (STONE) so be sure to look for the one with my name on it. :-)
Here's the blurb:
In 2230 Earth was invaded by an alien species. After years of war, the men are gone and the women are left to fight for the survival of the human race. When one of the aliens’ time travel devices is discovered a task force is formed to bring some of Earth’s most elite soldiers into the future.
Lieutenant Sunny Blake is ordered to travel back to 2125 and retrieve Lieutenant Jefferson W. Stone. Sunny can lead a squad of fighters and keep them alive, but she’s never had to deal with a man like Stone. A man whose reputation on and off the battlefield has proceeded him into the twenty-third century.
Stone has two interests. High-risk missions and lust-filled nights of pleasure with the many ladies who pursue him. Finding himself thrust into the future, where the women know how to fight but don’t know what to do with a lusty man, is the last place he’d ever want to be.
*
I finished STONE's book so now I'm back on the Zarronian Bondmate series working on Ronin's book. Then, I'll be working on the second book in the new series.
What else is going on? Well, the weather is heating up and its almost time to plant a garden. This year I'm so busy I've decided to only plant tomatoes and maybe a few green beans. Two crops that are easy to harvest and will give me a reason to go outside while the sun is shining. Other than that I plan to get in a lot of writing with a little fishing and some swimming as soon as the water warms up.
I hope you have great plans for the spring.
Happy reading.

Standalone Novels
I'm ready to confess..I thought I was writing standalone novels but looking back I can see all the secrets I kept from my readers. Every new book in my series (The Doms of Club Mystique and Zarronian Warriors) reveals something more about a past character, building on and on until the reader begins to see the truth. I don't mean to do that but apparently its just the way my brain works. Even I don't know most of the time what's going to happen next.
So, although you can read each of my books as standalone novels you WILL enjoy them more if you read them in the order they were written. You'll discover why my heroes are such jerks and why the women in their lives put up with all their nonsense (ignoring them, being cruel to them, convincing themselves they can sleep with them and not love them, etc.). Apparently the women are the only people on Earth, or in the stars, who really KNOW their man.
I tried to write a kinder, softer Zarronian Warrior with Soren and Ronin. Yes, they worked out okay considering they ended up on Krystali with enchantresses who have their own powers. I enjoyed writing them but now its time to return to my roots with Thor Larkin in Her Viking Dom and Rolf in Rolf's Bondmate. I'm planning on these two books coming out this year, early fall and early winter. So put on your big girl thong and get ready. The jerks are back!
And, while we're on the subject of jerks - Cade did not cheat on Addison! They were dating but he hadn't committed to her. She convinced herself they were exclusive because she wanted him so much. When she catches him with Luc and Logan enjoying an evening with Linda that's when Cade realizes he's lost her. Only then does he claim her. He commits and promise he won't see other women and he keeps that promise. So, yes, he's a jerk, but he's not a cheating jerk. lol Let me know what you think. You can chat with me about this, or anything else, on Facebook at https://www.facebook.com/MardiMaxwell...
Have a great summer and happy reading.

Zarronian Warriors Box Set on KU
The Zarronian Warrior series and the Zarronian Warriors Box Set are available on Kindle Unlimited starting today June 14, 2019.
I put a small HISTORY section in the front of the first book, Valan's Bondmate, so readers will know what happened to the Zarronian warriors females and why they are so angry when they're forced to take a Wrothian female as a mate. As the series continues the warriors have to face and overcome new complications.
Please note that the Zarronian warriors are not the "guy next door" type. They're rough around the edges and in no way charming but maybe that's what makes it so fun (and challenging) for their mates to forgive their bad behavior and eventually tame them.
Please read the books in the order they were written and I hope you enjoy them.
Happy reading!
