New Release- Jayne Rylon
A new release from one of the authors over at International Heat!
Phoenix Incantation
Amystia didn't think anything could be hotter than five-thousand wild years of passion with the most powerful vampire on Earth. Then she and her mate, King Dagan, began a steamy affair with his closest advisor. Threesomes with her two lovers were never supposed to be more than fun but, somehow, both her and Dagan's feelings have blossomed into something deeper than respect and friendship for Warren.
As they...

Did you know?
Did you know the minimum amount of words it takes for me to write a sex scene is rising?
I know, I know, you're going to say this isn't a problem. But it is! I'm working on a New Year's story (or two) for the Samhain Publishing freebie proegram and the stories have to be between 3-4K long. If an average sex scene is now at 3K…
Now do you see my problem?
BTW, the first story is done, and it's about Robyn and Keil. The second is from Tad and Missy's POV, and how they spend the evening. One of...

Got another email this morning. One of my first completed projects has been sold. I LOVE this story. Here's the low-down: I'm pleased to announce I've sold it to Total E- Bound books and it is tentatively scheduled for a May 10th, 2010 release.

Diving into the Writing Cave
Someone asked me if I was going to participate in Nanowrimo this year. I have a soft spot in my heart for the event- It's a month long challenge to write a story, 50K, during the month of November. I took part for the first time back in 2007, and it was the catalyst to my writing career. Really.
But I doubt I'll take part this year. I've already learned some of the lessons Nano teaches. Like turn off the inner editor- you want a story first, edit it to make it pretty later. And the lesson of '...

Snippet Saturday-Danger ahead
Danger- an out and out attack, or more subtle? At the start of Wolf Flight, Missy finds herself just where she doesn't want to be–under the eye of her corrupt Alpha.
Wolf Flight releases October 27th.
————
A strong hand wrapped around her neck, pulling her closer as Doug stared, his nostrils flaring as he examined her face minutely. "He was woefully delinquent in training you to be obedient. But he's gone now, that unfortunate incident, you know."
Missy's heart thumped harder as the truth of the ...
