She wants it. He's got it.
I'm so happy to be here! The on time I had the chance to meet Cynthia in person was last year at the RWA conference in D.C. We were tourist geeks together. And let me tell you, she is FABULOUS. About as fabulous as her books. And I remember riding in a taxi with her back to the hotel and she told me all about Deadly Fear–I am SO excited to read it!
And I have a release of my own coming up! (Tuesday actually! June 29th!) It's from Kensington Aphrodisia (that means it's really HOT, people!) and ...

A Gift or One Giant Curse?
Big thanks to Cynthia for inviting me back during her Deadly Days of Summer. I can't wait to get my hands on both of her new books!
If there's one thing I love about Cynthia, it's that she makes writing look easy. Her voice, her style, her stories and characters…even her contests….they all come off effortless, don't they? I strive for that. I hope my work comes off that way. The truth, though, is that every book I write is harder than the last, and from talking to other writers, I'm pretty...
Do you want to meet the demon next door?
A demon and two humans may be unusual lovers, but they'll do anything for forever.

Following in Dracula's Footsteps: Mardi Ballou Does Whitby
Mardi Ballou will give one commenter a free download of any of her
dozen or so vampire stories — check out www.MardiBallou.com
Mardi climbing the 199 steps to the abbey
The mist, the fog, the one hundred ninety-nine steps up to the gloriously ruined ninth-century abbey and an ancient graveyard. No wonder Bram Stoker was inspired to bring Dracula onto English soil in this picturesque seaside town on the northeast coast, where Stoker wrote the vampire's ship foundered in rough waters...

The Assassin and the Virgin Princess…
In two weeks, my third Federation Chronicles novel, INSATIABLE, releases from Berkley Heat. It marks the start of a three book mini-series called Phantom Corps, which is, you guessed it, about the men and women who are part of a shadowy special ops military team called –wait for it- Phantom Corps.
Desire is the most dangerous sensation of all.
With tensions between the Federation and Imperial 'Verses rising, one woman may hold the key to victory. The dangerous mission to smuggle her out of...

Deadly Excerpt–I'LL BE SLAYING YOU
I'LL BE SLAYING YOU releases next Tuesday–next Tuesday!!! Where has the time gone?
I thought I'd post a new excerpt for those interested in Dee's story. This except will take you into the mind of my hero, Simon. (Warning: Adult language to follow!) Hope you enjoy it!
After five minutes of silence from her, she finally deigned to glance his way. "Harry said you could leave, buddy—"
"Simon. Simon Chase." She knew his name. She'd been right there when he spelled it for the uniforms. Each...

Which Night Watch Hunter Are You?
Happy Father's Day to all the great dads out there!! Hope everyone has a fantastic day!
A few days ago, I created a facebook quiz for my Night Watch hunters. (Yes, I gave in to the temptation of the quiz!) But, I wanted to make the quiz available for folks who might not be on facebook. So, here you go:
Take the quiz and find out if you'd be Jude, Dee, Zane, or…um, something/someone else. Someone a little less on the side of the good guys.
Post your results in the comments section. I will...

Deadly Guest: Zoe Winters!
But What About the Sex?
I want to thank Cindy for inviting me to guest blog with her. And I'm going to be doing a giveaway, so for those brave souls who can make it through the blah blah… you'll get a chance to win free stuff. Yay!
Probably the only thing I don't like about the romance genre is the general expectation for a certain number of sex scenes of a specific heat level. This is particularly true of paranormal romance which many expect to be erotica. But I'm not writing erotica. I don't ...
