New DREAMS' DARK KISS Banner - Ciaran walks with ligthening...
I'm loving this new banner. It conveys more of the action in the book. Ciaran has to battle nightmares so she's bringing the pain.Dreams' Dark Kiss

Dreams' Dark Kiss
The nightmares will strike tonight…
Ciaran Letang has taken care of preternatural business since childhood. Her job is soul conducting, ferrying the dead into the afterlife. She's never had reason to be afraid. The ankou, nightmarish beasts escaped from the Dreaming, will change that tonight.
For Keoni Maka, protecting dreamers is business as usual. Meeting the enthralling, yet annoying, Ciaran is a life-altering event. One that will force him to face both his childhood demons, and those born of nightmares melded to hijacked human flesh.
The pair will have to suck-it-up and deal because the ankou pack leader plans to take dominion over the waking world—and he means to do it now. Together, Ciaran and Keoni must avert their enemy's schemes or risk an invasion akin to dropping the Earth into the pits of hell.
Oh, what a night
Back Cover Copy
They'll come for her tonight…
The ankou. A legion of nightmares, fugitive from the Dreaming, have set their sights on Ciaran Letang. She is the key to their darkest purpose. But Ciaran has been used before, and she won't let it happen again.
Keoni Maka patrols the dreamscape, keeping humankind safe. When he senses Ciaran's distress, he offers to fight by her side—forever. She accepts, but she has vowed not to let a man invade her heart, not even this man.
Together they must use their powers to stop the ankou pack leaders before they take dominion over the waking world. But will Keoni's own dream of saving tainted souls lead them right into a trap?

Ciaran's Wardrobe
Ciaran Letang, the main character from Dreams' Dark Kiss, wants everyone to know she's not just a gritty fighter of nightmare's run amok. She's got her fab side too. Today she's giving a tour of the favorite things in her closet. (BTW Ciaran keeps the aprons in the kitchen—a day without cooking isn't one worth waking up to.)
Thanks to Angela Henry, fellow Carina Press author. Look out for Angela's release The Paris Secret in January 2011! Maya Sinclair, her main character, has quite the wardrobe too.

Chaos! Goldilocks and her Bear in an Urban Fantasy World
Jurnee Smollet - my Goldilocks if she had, you know, golden locks
Today I finished the 'urban fantasy fairytale romance' I've been working on. Codenamed, CHAOS, this novella stars my version of Goldilocks and a hot Russian-gypsy bear. It's a romp and represents the first time I've fully let myself (and my strange sense of humor) loose. There's polishing to do but I hope to tell you more in a couple of weeks…
My Gypsy Bear - I envision him sexy, rugged, very dark and clearly an ethnically diverse PoC
