Sorry this post is a little late. Storms swept through my area and knocked my internet out this morning. But, I have good news to make up for this post's tardiness. Due to the whopping response to the THREE DAYS TO DEAD contest (184 entries in one day!), I'm kicking in another copy of the book that author Kelly Meding will sign and ship. So, there will be two winners for this contest instead of one.



Without further ado, Randomizer was consulted to find two winners and this is what it said...

Busy trying to fit five days of work into three because of the shorter holiday week. I don't see a huge chance of success with that, so I expect to be working through the weekend to make up for taking Thursday (Thanksgiving!) and Friday (driving back from relatives!) off. Oh well, deadlines show no mercy, lol.

Enough about me, however. Right now I want to talk about Kelly Meding . If you haven't heard of Kelly, her debut novel THREE DAYS TO DEAD (excerpt of chapter one available at link...

I spent way too much time yesterday clicking back and forth between Dear Author and Smart Bitches, reading up on the comments after the announcement by Harlequin about their new "Harlequin Horizons" line. Even though I swore to myself that I would stop reading and get back to work, as more information came out, I couldn't resist. Clicky-refresh-clickety, repeat.

For those of you who, like me, ended up reading the hundreds of comments on each site...well, you're probably also nursing a...

I was trolling Livejournal and came across links to this GalleyCat post where the question was presented as to whether literary agents would go the way of the Dodo bird in these newer, straight-to-Kindle publishing times. Let me be succinct – I do not agree that agents will become obsolete, but let’s look at the issue as a whole – and here’s where my succinctness ends, lol.

Is it possible to sell a book without an agent? YES. I know more than a few authors who sold their first book(s...

I know it's usually Thursdays that get the "thankful" posts, but what the hey, I'm jumping ahead ;-). First, thanks to everyone who responded to my call out for music recommendations. I'm punching in the songs/bands on iTunes and coming up with a playlist for Cat and Bones, book five. I don't listen to the radio, which means I miss out on a lot of new bands/songs, plus I'm terrible at keeping up with knowing when bands I do like have new albums coming out. So, your recs are much appreciated! ...

Happy Hump Day - and really, what an odd saying that is, right? This week I should get my editor's notes on ETERNAL KISS OF DARKNESS (Mencheres and Kira's book). Already got her pre-revision revision letter last week and the good news is that revisions will be light. A case of "more detail here, more emotion there, make the ending more explosive" sort of thing. I also have my lovely critt partner's notes to implement at the same time, which, no shock, sound a lot like my editor's notes (they...

First, Happy Halloween! May all the candy you eat miraculously have no calories, lol. Meant to do this post earlier, but, I slept in. And of course, nothing comes before coffee, needless to say.



Well, lots of entries for the giveaway of 10 signed copies of HALFWAY TO THE GRAVE. 200, to be exact. Because I can never bring myself to choose, Randomizer was once again consulted and this is what it said:

     Set #1:

<input ... > 5, 25, 32, 44, 88, 97, 129, 174, 175, 185

So, those entry numbers turne...

Today marks the two year anniversary of when my debut novel, HALFWAY TO THE GRAVE, hit the shelves. It does not seem like two years since then. It feels more like one year, tops. But, calendars don't lie :).




So, to celebrate the second anniversary of my book, I'm giving away ten (10) signed copies of HALFWAY TO THE GRAVE, book one in the Night Huntress series. To enter, email me at frostlight1 AT yahoo DOT com with "HTTG" in the subject line, any time between now and 8am tomorrow (why 8am? Bec...

Well, as many of you predicted, there were more than ten entries into the coverflat contest for FIRST DROP OF CRIMSON. 124 in total, so Randomizer had to be consulted to pick winners, because how could I be expected to choose? I do read every entry and thanks so much for the kind words! They are appreciated :).

Without further ado, here are the numbers Randomizer chose:

Set #1:

Those turned out to be: Sonja Zeiler, Heather Hann, Beatriz Onga...
