Behind the Scenes of Storm Force

I'm kind of in limbo-land right now as the Kindle version of Storm Force is available as a complete novel, but the print version won't be released until June 18. Waiting to see if I'll get a chance to continue with the series (Nik and Robin need their books!). Working on Penton #4 but nothing I want to put out in a teaser yet. So, a lot of things in flux right now.

Meanwhile, how about a look at some of the places in Storm Force?

First, if you aren't familiar with Houston, it's a big, sprawling...

Who's Your Favorite Omega Force Member?

The final episode of Storm Force as a serial released yesterday, and I'm pleased to say that Amazon already has it available as a full novel for Kindle download !

The release date for the print book remains June 18, and I believe that will be the date it becomes available on Book Depository and Amazon UK, etc.

Miki at Lecture toute une Aventure has run regular posts about the serial (thank you!), and this week, she's asking about favorite characters--who is yours? Head on over by clicking the li...

Final Episode Out Today!

[click title for full post]

Has it been a wild nine weeks, or what?

The ninth and final episode of the Storm Force serial comes out today, so if you've been on the fence, this is likely the last chance to get it at the $1.99 price tag for Kindle . Stay tuned for the "official" release on June 18!

I'm putting together proposals for followup books (maybe serials, but maybe not) centered on the characters of Nik and Robin, but whether or not the publisher will decide to do them depends on how the bo...

Storm Force: Episode 9 Preview

[Experimenting with new formats. Please click post title to read the full post....]

And so it winds down, this experiment in serial novels. I loved the process from my end (although more than seven days to produce every 10,000 words would have been nice). It will be interesting to see how the rest of it rolls out.

So, here's the deal. Episode 9 will download to subscribers on Tuesday--it consists of the final four chapters of the book, plus an Epilog. I hope you've enjoyed it, and thanks to all...

A Tip of the Sword to the Big, Foul-Mouthed Scotsman!

Yes, some fab recognition has been given to our own Mirren Kincaid, aka the Slayer, aka the big bad teddy bear of Penton, and his mate Glory Cummings.

I'm excited to announce that ABSOLUTION , the second book in the Penton series, is one of three "Dark Paranormal" finalists in the annual Prism Contest, hosted by the Fantasy, Futuristic and Paranormal Special Interest chapter of Romance Writers of America. This is a big chapter, big contest, amazing group of authors, so I'm very honored to be am...

Storm Force Discussion....Where Do You Feel Safe?

Episode 8 of STORM FORCE came out yesterday, and after a harrowing trip through an oncoming hurricane, Mori and Kell get to relax a little (because I can assure you, Episode 9, the final one, will NOT be relaxing!).

How about a chat about Storm Force so far? Thanks to Miki at Lecture toute une Aventure , there is a new discussion thread again this week. When Kell feels threatened, he wants to be in his cabin at Cote Blanche. It's his safe place, where he can regroup and, well, never mind that t...

Countdown is on for Storm Force

It's 10 p.m. in the central U.S. as I write this, and I just realized my Episode 8 of Storm Force didn't arrive! Did you get yours? If not, let me know so I can send frantic emails to the publisher!

I mean, it's crunch time for Mori and Kell. A hurricane's blowing in. Michael is stark raving bonkers.

Really, I wanted to remind anyone interested in getting Storm Force before it disappears from serial-land for $1.99 and reappears in book-land for $3.99 Kindle/$7.99 print, I think you have to buy...

On the Road Again


Where in the world is Carmen...oh, wait. That's a different show.

I'm wrapping up final day-job trauma and heading on the road to Kansas City to RT. I do have some guest spots coming up so check the PRETERNATURA blog for URLS--both Suzanne and Susannah will be posting at that blog for the next ten days or so, hopefully with some prizes and reports from the RT Booklovers Convention.

Stay tuned!

Flash Fiction, Gator Cheesecake and Other Stuff

Cross-posting here today from the Preternatura blog....


Today's one of those days when the universe creates a big ole traffic jam! So instead of blogging here, I'd like to beg, um, I mean invite you to join me in a wild ride around the blogosphere today. I'm giving away STUFF, plus each comment on one of these sites today will enter you for a $10 Amazon (or other etailer) gift card. So that would be five possible entries apiece.

In no particular order...

1) In Suzanne mode, I'm helping Lori...
