Tomorrow, June 1st, my short novella, Judgment will be available at DSP. It's part of the
Time Is Eternity Daily Dose
for June. Once the story goes live I'll update this post and link the page to my cover. And about the cover, since I've been asked before, if the stories hit 18k or go over, they get their own unique cover but if they don't, then the cover that was made for the submission call...

Nicci I was so thrilled that you loved Mine, that one is really special to me and the fact that you loved it is a bigger deal then you can imagine. Thank you so much and the review on your site just blew me away. :)
Hi Mary,Thanks for accepting the friend invite. I finished reading Mine and I love the book and its characters esp Trevan, Landry, and Conrad. You probably have a busy writing schedule plan, but I would love to read more in this universe. Conrad is a real interesting character. :-)
Piper wrote: "Thanks for accepting the friend request, Mary. Nice meeting you at the Rainbow Book Fair. :)"It was so good to meet you too!:)
Thank you Jessie, that's really nice to hear. There's a teeny sequel. http://archive.constantcontact.com/fs...
You just have to scroll down to The Daily Sizzle. :)
:-( I don't know if I'm completely happy that Domin gets his own or saddened that I won't see Jin and Logan even more!:-D awesome book! I have adored everything you've written!
Domin, yes!I love all the characters in the series. But I've loved Jin the most ever since the first book. However, after reading the third book, I've fallen in love with Domin. (I still love you the most Jin but I am in love with Domin. XD)
Jin thought "Logan looked like a king" while Domin "looked dangerous, like some sort of pirate king", and I romantically love dangerous-looking men. XD
Domin is many things including wicked and playful. His POV, I'm sure, will be very interesting.
Thank you for creating and writing the Change of Heart series. I'm looking forward to reading the next book. :)
Marie~Thank you for your wonderful comments and I started it, have to finish and submit and hope that my publisher likes it. I do intend to answer lots of questions and create new ones. Domin is a different character then Jin so his POV should be interesting. :)
After reading Honored Vow, I knew there's going to be a fourth book! Woop! Woop! XDI guessed that 'coz there were some loose ends left out of the third book.
Like (1) the tribe of Mafdet's new life without Domin, Yuri, Mikhail, Crane, and Taj; (2) Jin and Delphine having the baby; (3) New life (in Sobek) of Domin as the new semel-aten, of Yuri as the mate of the semel-aten, of Mikhail as sylvan of the new semel-aten, of Crane as the maahes of the new semel-aten while still being the beset of the reah of the tribe of Mafdet, and of Taj as sheseru of the new semel-aten; (4) Koren's unstable feelings for Domin, Mikhail's possible feelings for Danny, and Crane's and Yusuke's feelings for each other; (5) Koren's standing as Logan's heir, Danny's role as the new sylvan of the tribe of Mafdet, Yusuke's role as the new maahes of the tribe of Mafdet, the acquiring of Avery as the new sheseru of the tribe of Mafdet, and Markel's and Ivan's role as the akers of the tribe of Mafdet; (6) the tribe of Mafdet's regard for the duat Russ and his life with Samantha; (7) the punishing of Archer Pike, and his sheseru and his sylvan; and (8) Ayumi's and Kei's possible understanding or continued lack thereof of Jin being a reah and a nekhene.
Some of these will be dealt with in the fourth book, right? Can't wait! When will it be released?
Love the whole series! XD
Oh the winery, that sounds heavenly. Tell him he'll get island fever. Don't let him do it. Only way off is by boat or plane, just say no. You have the right idea.
And here my hubs and I want to move to the Big Island. He sees spending every day at the volcano!! Once was enough for me, I'll stick to the winery instead. Did I mention he's nuts.
Joann, there is only snow on the Big Island but I live on Oahu so no snow for me. It's just stinkin' hot. When Mel was talking about the leaves changing and fall coming on my power month post, I melted into goo. Sooooo want the cold. Working on moving off the rock. :)
Your profile says that you live in Hawaii, hope you get to enjoy the snow in the mountains. Anyone that says it doesn't get cold in Hawaii lies. *grins* ^_^
Thank you again for letting me know, you've made my day especially as I fret about the sequel release this coming Monday the 26th. Sequels are the worst because they have to stack up to the original. I have my fingers crossed.

I'm almost done book two, and these have been one of the better books I've read in awhile.

Hi Mary....you got me screaming at my e-reader!!! I'm in Jory and Sam's world right now and lovin it.
The third book in the Change of Heart series will be out in either Nov/Dec. I hope you will enjoy that as well Jou and thank you for the friend invite. :)
Hi, Mary-Thanks for accepting my friend request. I have read your books, Change of Heart series, and enjoyed it so much. Another of your books is on my next read list of course! Thanks for writing such wonderful stories ;).

I noticed that two people already rated the 3rd Warder book and I was wondering how they know if they liked it you know? :)
Rossy wrote: "Mary, can you please add your blog to the author profile feed? I keep forgetting to check your blog, and it would be nice to get your posts on the blog digest for authors i'm a fan. ^.^"I added it, thank you for reminding me, I kept forgetting too. :)
Hi Mary, thanks for accepting the friendvite. I love your books and can't wait to read the next one in the Warder series. Arzu
Mary, can you please add your blog to the author profile feed? I keep forgetting to check your blog, and it would be nice to get your posts on the blog digest for authors i'm a fan. ^.^
Rossy, hopefully in each book things that I left hanging in the last one will be answered. I am working on literary symmetry. We'll see how I do. I have three more books to write one for Leith, Marcus and Jackson. I like writing the alternating POV between hearth and warder as well.

Really, can you please write a little faster?LOL There are way too many characters here that i want you to write about. I got the feeling that there was a reason for not tying it all together with the baddies on the first two stories, am i right?

Thanks for letting me know about the sequel, i was wondering why i couldn't recall the MCs.LOL
Rossy, Tooth & Nail is the sequel to His Hearth. Sorry about the confusion. My plan is to write each one of the warders' stories and the first was Ryan's, told through Julian's POV, and this second one is Malic's story told through his own POV. I wanted it to go hearth, warder, hearth, warder, hearth. We'll see if I can. But Trusted Bond is the sequel to Change of Heart and that will be out in December. Not sure when yet but December it will be. Thanks for the question. Are you going to Yaoi-Con in SF? I'll be there.:) Mary
Thank you for your kind comments Alfred, I appreciate them so very much. You can always go to Dreamspinner Press and get anything of mine. I hope you like The Guardian too. It's 3rd person so it's different from the others but I love Jude and Eoin as much as my other men. :)
Just dropped by to say I just finished Timing ^^ I loved it <3 love Change of hearts too. I'm just looking for The Guardian, and can't find it. Love your books!
