MY TBR Pile

Want to see my TBR pile?  It's up at Dusted By Whimsy (Thanks to Michele!).   And let me just go ahead and confess–I am in love with Gena Showalter's stories now.  I have finished HEART OF THE DRAGON, and I can't wait to read more of her work!

What does your TBR pile look like?  Which book is sitting at the top?

And, hey, while I"m talking about TBR, one of my Bradford sisters has a new release (you might want to add it to your pile):

Okay, yeah, I think that cover is hot!!  You can read all about

Inspiration, anyone?

Ever wonder where authors get their inspiration? Well, Beth Kery has a  great post on inspiration up at Romance Novel TV. Beth interviewed several authors (including me) to get the scoop on inspiration. If you get a chance, check out her post.

I may be a bit scarce today–a tropical storm snuck on shore last night, and we're due for some heavy rains. With all my pine trees, heavy rains usually= no internet service, but I'll hope for the best.  And, hey, maybe the rain bands won't even come this wa

Handcuffs.

I didn't plan this. When I started my new story (this still un-named tale), I knew my hero was a demon, my heroine was an Ignitor (a human who can start fires), and I knew there'd be drama. And heat–lots of heat. But I didn't expect the handcuffs.

Now the hero and heroine are stuck together and the cuffs are unbreakable (thanks to some paranormal issues), and I'm having a fun time with this story. 

And speaking of fun…I wanted to announce on the old blog here that I am already planning for my Ha

Horror Romance?

Is it time for the horror romance? I know, I know–you might be thinking…horror isn't sexy.  Well, I'm not necessarily talking "Saw"-type horror. Something softer, with, ah, less gore.

At one point, my husband told me that he thought I was writing horror romances. I was like, no, they're paranormals.  Shifter romances. Vamp romances. He then told me, "People die, they get butchered, and you've got monsters." Okay, yes, on the surface, that does *seem* like a horror tale, but, to me, my stories are

Tuesday Update

Hi, everyone!  Want a chance to win some free books? Then head over to The Good, The Bad, and The Unread! I'm giving away 3 copies of BELONG TO THE NIGHT.

I'm now on chapter three of my new WIP–slowly sneaking into the heart of the story.  These characters are fun.  My hero is a demon, and my heroine, well, so far she's a pretty bad girl, uh, woman.  :-)  She likes to blow things up for fun.

Hope you have a fabulous Tuesday!

Eternal Hunter Excerpt

I should have posted this sooner–my apologies. I'll also put the excerpt up on the ETERNAL HUNTER book page later today.

Here's an excerpt from ETERNAL HUNTER, the first book in my upcoming paranormal bounty hunter series–due out in January of 2010:

"Wanna answer my question?" His voice was deep, rumbling.

Goosebumps rose on her bare arms. And it was too damn warm for her to have a chill from the weather.

"And just what question was that?" She titled her head to the right.

"Who are you?" A pause.

Wednesday Notes…

Today, I'm getting back in the groove. Yes, that means I'll start work on a new project today. Oh, the joy. Oh, the fear.

I'm also guest blogging at Riding With The Top Down–and giving away a prize. Come on by and chat with me about sharing the romance love for a chance to win!

And, on a different note, as I type this, I'm watching the video of the journalists who were just released from North Korea. Such an emotional reunion with their families. I'm certainly glad that they are back home.
