Ruby: Lost and Found release date changed
Sadness - It is now slated for an August release - which puzzles me. It is published by Torquere Press and is supposed to be of their birthstone line - and it is a ruby which is July's birthstone yet they set it for August... puzzling, really.
I shouldn't complain, and I'm not, but really? They didn't have a day in July they could have released it?
*sigh*
I'll get over it - I just learned about it today. It's in print as well as ebook. I shouldn't whine... Okay, I'm over it :)

My Shifter series explained and future books
Hi everyone!
I've had a few more positive reviews on "Love is a Whirlwind" and I couldn't be happier. However, I think there are some misunderstandings about certain characters and their functions in my series that I wanted to address. Part of me wonders if the misunderstandings are my fault and that makes me feel awful. The last thing I want to do is confuse my readers. I honestly don't know if it was me or the readers missing something. Either way there was one thing I wanted to clear up: In "Psychic Moon" and "Love is a Whirlwind" there is a character that shows up, Agent Poe, who is part of an organization called The Agency. The Agency is a secret police force - or sort of "keep the peace force" that hides the existence of shifters from the human population. Anyway, some reviews say that the Agency is comprised of shifters. But they're not. Shifters aren't allowed in the Agency - to avoid prejudice and all. The Agency is comprised of people with special abilities, such as psychic, telepathic, harnessing the natural elements or in Poe's case - strength.
In my world there are three types of dominate species - humans, shifters, and faes - the Agency is made up of the descendents of the faes who starting mating with humans because their species was dying out. I reveal this in the next couple of books in my series but because of the misunderstandings, I decided to release the information now. In "Blind Devotion", the next book in the series, I explain a little more about this and the fact that the Knights - a shifter hating organization - is comprised of these fae descendants as well.
Even if not many people read this, I just wanted the information out there.
On another note - I do have the other three books after "Blind Devotion" (which comes out in August 2012) planned and titled - they are "Hunter and Hunted", "Master's Blood", and "Healing Minds". I have other books planned after that but not in major detail. The series is going to take many different paths and expect to see some old friends in a few sequels :D
I do have an end point in the series but I have a lot of books planned before the major climax. I want to relish the fact that I *am* doing a series.
So stay tuned!

Blind Devotion contracted!
...with Dreamspinner Press!
I am over the moon - this is Book 3 of the Shifter series and I am really enjoying the direction the series is taking me. I have a lot of books planned in this series that will lead to a climactic end so if you like the first four, please continue reading - you'll like the later ones just as well.
Blind Devotion is scheduled to be released in August, so that seems so far away. But that will give me time to work on Book 4 - "Hunter and Hunted".
(Goodreads has "Celtic Warrior and Wolf Spirit" as book 2 but it is actually just the sequel to "Psychic Moon". The main storyline of my books does not come into play in CW and WS)
Just FYI :D

Love is a Whirlwind is coming soon!!
I am so thrilled and pumped for Book #2 of my Shifter Series. It comes out in February or March and I am on my second rounds of edits. And after a small hiatus (after writing a full length novel, I was *exhausted*) I am now back at work for Book #3 of my series titled "Blind Devotion".
In Love is Whirlwind, I have an interesting (at least, I find it interesting) subplot dealing with certain people who are shifter-haters and who want to destroy the lovely shifters!
This "subplot" will be running through the first five books of my series which are finally (almost completely) planned! whew, that was a lot of work, let me tell you, but very much needed. The series won't stop at five books, but I consider the first five as "part 1" of my series. So far I have five tentative parts which have different numbers of books in them.
So stay tuned - if you liked "Psychic Moon" and enjoy "Love is a Whirlwind" when it comes out, trust me, more awesomeness is to come!
So stay tuned :D

Love is a Whirlwind Book #2 of shifter series
Yippeee!
Book #2 in my shifter series has just been contracted with Dreamspinner Press!! Happy days!
The target release date is around Feb-March of next year.
This book doesn't deal with Derek and Brian from Psychic Moon. This one involves a bull shifter and his love interest. I'd say its nicely different from PM - So don't expect the same plot/setting and such. :)
But there is a re-accuring character, whom I find a delight to write. I hope you all find him a delight to read! :D
That's all for now - just *had* to share the good news.
P.S. Thanks for all the wonderful reviews - its nice to know a lot of people have read my book. It just makes me warm and fuzzy inside!
