Behold my pretty Prisms. Can you tell I'm proud?? (That's my Rita behind them.) Smug mode.

Dragon Master Wins!!!
I just saw via Twitter that The Dragon Master won First Place in the PRISM at RWA National. Woo!! And I'm not there, so I couldn't scream in person. Life (or at least, my life).
Screaming now. AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Also, Immortals: The Redeeming (by me as Jennifer Ashley) took second in dark fantasy. Not as good as first, but I'm not complaining all that much! :-)

Moving on...
I managed to replace the hard drive on the laptop (it was under warranty, TG), so...I was able to finish the edits/revisions on Calder and turn that back around to my editor at EC.
Now I'm working on revisions to Pride Mates, the sexy shapeshifter romance I'm doing for Dorchester as Jennifer Ashley. Yummy Irish guys who live in Austin and change to wildcats. Really.

I think the Stormwalker series is cursed....
I turned in the manuscript of Stormwalker this morning. Yesterday, as I was proofing and putting in corrections, my laptop CRASHED. Big time.
Second laptop in about five months.
The first one crashed while I was working on revisions of the novella that prequels the Stormwalker book. Both stories are set in the same world. Coincidence??
Or have I pissed off skinwalkers? (who are heavies in the stories). They say that talking about them lightly can bring their attention. Hmmmm.

New series--Stormwalker
I'm writing like crazy, finishing up my first sorta urban fantasy (not set in a city, so not really urban), Stormwalker, which should be out next May.
The setting is northern Arizona, around the Navajo Nation. I went out and took a bunch of pictures to give me visuals while I'm in my writing cave. Here's a peek and you can see the rest on my mystery blog:

Catch a Falling Star
Very cool--you can now preorder the print version of Catch a Falling Star at Amazon:
Click here click here click here
It usually takes a bit for the book to get to Amazon and for them to start shipping, so if you're in a huge hurry, the EC print site has it now:

Come to think of it I don't have a copy of this in print yet, myself. Must smack myself in head until I remember to send appropriate request.[image error]
