SKELETON CREW Finished!
SKELETON CREW, Book 2 of The Underworld Cycle, is finished and off to my editor. I'm extremely happy with it, but now that it's done it's more important what my editor thinks of it.
Brief Synopsis: The book opens with Domino struggling to deal with the aftermath of the gang war that swept South-Central L.A. in MOB RULES, balancing loyalty with the political realities of the underworld. Her efforts are complicated by a budding rivalry with Adan, who's taken over as acting boss of the outfit in ...

Release Day Contest!
Today is the official release of MOB RULES! To celebrate, I'm having a contest. It's actually not much of a contest, because the rules are really simple. To enter, all you have to do is post an announcement on your blog about the contest — and the MOB RULES debut, of course — with a link back to this post. Or, you can tweet the announcement with a link to this post and the hashtag #mobrules (a RT of my announcement counts!). I'll select at least three winners randomly from among those who...

New MOB RULES reviews
Two new reviews of MOB RULES from a couple of excellent book bloggers.
I think The Underworld Cycle will pick up steam as it goes–a theory I plan to test when I read the second book whenever it gets released. The plot of this first installment isn't as brave as it needs to be, but Haley gets the voice and character perfectly.
We've got a live one. These days it's getting harder and harder to find UF that doesn't feel regurgitated from something we've read...

MOB RULES: T-Minus Three Days
It's three days to the official debut of MOB RULES, and I'm so excited I could just about burst. This is unfortunate, for a couple of reasons. First, I'm still putting the finishing touches on SKELETON CREW, and I have to focus. Second, it's just a release date. I know it's not like the heavens will open up and shower me with fame and fortune. Hopefully a few books will find happy homes. That's about it.
Speaking of which, if you are a happy home and would like to adopt a copy of MOB RULES...

Rolling release date…
The "official" release date for MOB RULES is September 1, but it's showing as "in stock" at Amazon and Barnes & Noble. I assume they're also shipping pre-orders now.

Two new Goodreads Giveaways!
The books for the first MOB RULES giveaway have been shipped. There ended up being 868 entries, so I figured there might be demand for another one. So, three more signed copies of MOB RULES are up for grabs. The deadline is release day, September 1, so you'd better hurry!
I also put up three copies of the HARVEST MOON anthology, with novellas by Mercedes Lackey, Michelle Sagara, and yours truly. I'll sign the books — you're on your own with Mercedes and Michelle! This book features my novella ...
