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…
