Winner of Draw for "THE UNGLAMOROUS LIFE OF DEMON HUNTERS" Post — And Another Excerpt

As part of the launch of Beauty's Beasts, I hosted my own guest post the other day, you may recall.  Now you have proof I'm totally losing it.  ;) But you stand to benefit, anyway:  All the goodies stay right here, too.

The winner of the draw, for a copy of Carson's Night, is Sue Brandes.  I've already arranged her prize with her.  Congratulations!

And as everyone seems to just love them, here's another excerpt from Beauty's Beasts.

Review and Excerpt for DEAD AGAIN

It's Thursday again, mish-mash day.  I got a nice review from Romance Reviews Today for Dead Again, and as I often run excerpts on Thursday I thought I'd combine the two.

You can expect a lot of action and romance in Dead Again. It moves along at a good pace; the characters are likeable, and the suspense will keep you guessing.  It is a very enjoyable read, a story that will appeal to the most discriminating reader.

The Unglamorous Life of Demon Hunters

[ This is the first of my "book tour" posts for the launch of Beauty's Beasts.  It's a bit weird hosting my own blog tour, I know, but pretend I'm my own special guest, sit back, and try to enjoy my waffling on.  This is what I do on other people's blogs when I visit.  I thought I'd do it here for a change. :) ]

Race survival is a ruthless instinct.  It outbids any other instinct you have.  Its only priority is to ensure that the species goes on.  Period.  It's not just humans who...

News, News, and More News.

I've got newsy bits happening everywhere, so rather than string them out into teeny individual posts over several days, I thought I'd do another news dump and save pixels again.

Night Owl Reviews gave me a lovely 4 star review for Dead Again yesterday.

This is a good story…The ending was great. I think this is a wonderful read for a rainy day. I love the character of Sophie and admired her strength and determination. I will for sure be reading more of Mrs. Cooper-Posey's...

We've Got Gennita Low Stepping Up To the Open Mic On June 30 – What Do We Ask Her?

Recently, I asked the question "Who Shall We Talk To?" and suggested that Gennita Low, the award winning romantic intrigue writer, would be on my hit list, amongst others.

As it happens, she heard me and volunteered.  You can see her comments in the post.

We've arranged a date:  June 30th.

Now all you and I have to do is think up some thought-and-story-provoking questions to ask her.  The sort of questions that generate really interesting answers — the sort of answers that have you propping...

8 More Ways to Find MORE Time To Read

I ran a post last October, "8 Ways to Find More Time to Read," that gets a fair amount of traffic.  But I've had email from readers asking for ideas on how to restructure their lives rather than simply add to their lives, to find more time.

It seems people will go to any lengths to leverage more reading into their lives.

So here goes.  More ways to add more reading to your life:

9.  Get up earlier.

Don't set the clock back a whole hour or more all at once, or you'll kill yourself mentally and...

Teal Ceagh's Erotic Urban Fantasy Romance, BEAUTY'S BEASTS, Is Out Today. Prizes, Events, Excerpts.

The second book in Teal Ceagh's Guardian Bonds series has been released today with Ellora's Cave, the one with the wicked cover (depending on which way you look at it! :) ).  This is an erotic urban fantasy romance, and just in case you can't tell by the cover, it's an MMF romance to boot.  I went back to my roots and it was so much fun!

Actually, that may sound a little odd, if you've been reading my books in publication order, as Kiss Across Time was the last one to come out, and that was...

This Time Last Year…

What was happening here, a year ago?

The week of June 10, last year, I was telling everyone about the "Upcoming Event: RomantiCon 2009", which is ironic in hindsight, because that event turned out to be so wildly successful, everyone knows what RomantiCon is, now.  And because we've turned the calendar on another year, I'm gearing up for preparations for the next RomantiCon.

I also ran a short post called "Everything You Need to Know about Personal Finance on Just One Page."

That week I also w...
