Under Color (book 4) has a Cover!
June, 2011 book 1 went live.Hopefully, by May 31, 2012, the wrap to the Color Series will be out there so I can say it was under a year to publish a tome a decade in the making.
Greg Elsborg is the genius behind these covers. I can't thank him enough.

A Milestone Moment
May 5, 2012. All but the last chapter, more like an epilogue, is in the hands of my long suffering critique partner.An end for the colors, a tome a decade on the making.
It's finished, you seven bastards awesome personalities.
Now onward for the zillion coats of polish, but hopefully book four is as bright and colorful as a frickin never ending glorious r-word should be.

Happy Dance! 5 star and Top Pick for Let it Rain
Every time I see that notice there's a review on something I've written, I debate whether I should open the email fast, like pulling off a bandaid, or wait until the day's ended and I could chug a bottle of vodka, and pass out as needed. I usually open it right away and read as fast as I can, like that's going to change what's been said, stamped on a story with the permanence of the internet something I've written from the heart.
I'm thrilled to have opened this email from my publisher, MuseitUp, as soon as I found it. Not only the coveted 5 stars, but a top pick!!!Night Owl Reviews

7 is Lucky? Hmm....
Tagged again. Thanks to a talented author and friend, Edith Parzefall, I've given in. Here's 7 lines that are 7 lines down from the top of page 77 in a WIP that's taking me a decade to finish.
A slow brush over Aaron's chest and stomach—precise, circular stroking, and Aaron moaned as Mal glanced at Jaylynn. "Be comfortable on his other side and I beg you to find forgiveness. My kill list has increased. Two miserable colors acted on ludicrous impulse, thinking they'd help me."
Jaylynn crawled to sit on the blanket beside Aaron. This was getting stranger by the minute. Mal's gaze sparkled now with such affection as he looked from her to Aaron, her heart started galloping again. She turned to Aaron. "I can't believe Caream would ever taser Damon."
"Er…he means a green cutie and a sociopath. Oh Lord, Mal, I can barely talk. Your fingers…wow."

Dance Over to Amazon on 3-28th-31th for A Great Freebie
Cate Master's dark paranormal erotic romance, Dancing With the Devil, will be free for four days!
Lily MacInnis has the luck of the Irish – against her. All her life, she never could catch a break. But now, something's about to catch her, and dump her suitcase of secrets on the floor. Some secrets, even Lily hadn't known. Like her father's an angel, and her mother escaped from Hell. Literally. And now Hades and Persephone – her grandparents – want her to return to the Underworld. Lily is The Destined One, promised to Zeveriah, Archduke of Section Six, and Hades' up and coming CFO.
Not in Lily's plans – she's fallen for Bodie, the Ruling Angel of the Sixth Heaven.
Bodie can't let Lily fulfill that destiny. But will Bodie risk losing everything to keep his promise to ensure Lily stays safe?
Part goddess, part angel, part demon, can Lily summon the powers she never knew she had to free herself and make her own destiny?
Dancing With the Devil is Book 2 of The Goddess Connection series, which says: Every woman should embrace her inner goddess. What's your connection?

Wow!
Assuming edits go ok, assuming DP doesnt change their mind and the contract magically bursts into flames, assuming the last week in April doesnt run screaming from the calender, this awesome cover will have a buy link behind it.

That Chapter, that Hard to Write Chapter...
Dealing with a series 8-10 years in the making, struggling to reach the final--the end--has words eluding me. Not fair to put words into cyberspace with book four not released and alot, a serious lot of work before it is. So, just a few pictures to show acceptance of what's right around the corner. The man, his back to a car definitely the wrong shade, looks so happy. About time!
