I suffer from Ambulothanatophobia.

And in case you were wondering, I’ve found a cool page that lists all of these unusual fears–so I had to blog about it!  Unfortunately, I can’t get the main page to load up for s

Secondary Characters

I love secondary characters in books. The characters that help to twist and turn the plots, the characters that test the hero and heroine.  The characters that sometimes just be…fun.

One of my all time favorite secondary characters appeared in HOTTER AFTER MIDNIGHT.  The guy I liked so much?  The demon Niol. I liked him so much that I couldn’t just leave him hanging in the wind. I needed to write more about him.

And, with my new release, IMMORTAL DANGER, there are a few other secondary characters

When my husband told me about the phone call from the contest coordinator, I had to make sure he wasn’t just April Fooling me. Because if he had been, I probably would have hurt the man…

Release Day!!

Today is the official release day for IMMORTAL DANGER.

So if you want to read about my ex-cop turned vampire, you can find Maya’s book at your local bookstore or, if you prefer online shopping, Amazon can ship it to you (so can Barnes and Noble, Books-A-Million, Borders, Powell’s,…)

I’m going to celebrate today. Release days don’t come that often, so I’ll have fun with this one.

I’m also scheduled to hop around the web today. To help with my celebration, I’m guest blogging at a few spots…
