Motor City Fae by Cindy Spencer Pape
First of all, I'd like to thank L. for having me here. This marks the first official stop on my blog tour to promote Motor City Fae coming June 7 from the brand new Carina Press! I am so delighted to be part of the launch of this exciting new publisher, and I can't wait to share Motor City Fae with the world.
So a little bit about me: I live in southern Michigan, not too far from Detroit, the setting for MCF. I'm celebrating my 25th wedding anniversary this summer, so I honestly do believe i...

Six Sentence Sunday: Amethyst Bound
This Sunday my six are from Amethyst Bound which releases with Carina Press on June 7, 2010.
Time to choose between truth and lies.
Usually the easy answer was to lie, but I couldn't think of a single fib that would convince Davis to translate the glyphs. So I did the unexpected. I told the truth. "I need your help to get this unattached from my skin." I yanked down the neck of my tank top and flashed him.
Curious? Here's the blurb:
All Toni wanted was to steal the artifacts, get paid and then sp...

Six Sentence Sunday: Amethyst Bound
This Sunday my six are from Amethyst Bound which releases with Carina Press on June 7, 2010.
I slid my fingers around the edges (of the pendant) in the hope I could pull it free, and all I found was a perfect oval seal, holding it tight.
But there had been no glue. Surely I would have felt it before, and I hadn't. All I'd felt was the cool amethyst and the texture of the dragon. That must have been what inspired the strange dream.
What else besides glue could bind the thing to my skin?
My mind wh...

Six Sentence Sunday: Amethyst Bound
This Sunday my six are from Amethyst Bound which releases with Carina Press on June 7, 2010.
Be the wall. Be the stone. Be invisible. I chanted the mantra silently as the temple guards strolled past. Frank, a heavyset older man, was no more than three feet away, yet he wouldn't see me. I called it blending, but whatever the skill was or however I came to have it, the ability to become nearly invisible had saved my ass hundreds of times.

Six Sentence Sunday: Walking with Synn
This Sunday my six are from Anom'tan 1: Walking with Synn
With one hand, she carefully drew back the blankets to reveal thick, tangled, brown hair. When he didn't object to being uncovered, she pulled the blanket back further.
His face...he was so pale. The man's white skin glistened. It was almost bluish, with pale smudges of tan. He looked fragile and ill, but behind that terrifying exterior was a stark beauty so breathtaking she thought for a moment he must be an angel.
Curious? Here's the bl...

Six Sentence Sunday
Dee Carney (word warrior awesome) suggested I check out Six Sentence Sunday and so I did and found a nifty little blogging inspiration. This idea is to offer up six sentences from a story. How cool is that? Enought o get a taste without being so much as to slow anyone down. Love it!
So here's my 6, taken from A Lover's Touch.
I blinked my eyes open, meeting the bright blue eyes of a stranger whose face was only inches from my own. "How?" I asked in wonder. How was he holding me without...
