Spell of Binding Now An Audiobook!

Or, A New $1.99 Release For All You Audiobook Fans

I am tickled pink to announce that the second volume in my Dark Caster paranormal series, Spell of Binding, is now an audiobook.

Even better news?  The book Reading Cafe reviewer Xtina said “kept me on the edge of my seat the whole time” is specially priced at only $1.99!

Look for it on iTunes, Amazon, and Audible.com.

 Blurb:
Daniela Ferraro can’t touch people without hurting them. So when she wakes up in the Dark Caster’s cell next to the one man guaranteed to mess with her heart, she will risk anything to escape.
David Wilkes has no idea why he’s been abducted and thrown in a locked room with Dani, the woman who jilted him two years ago. But when the Dark Caster threatens David’s four-year-old son, David will not stop until Ryan is safe and the evil necromancers tormenting him are destroyed.
When Dani’s powers are bound and her necromancer friends are out of commission, the only way to protect the people she cares about and keep the Chaos Gate firmly closed is to trust in David.
But the closer Dani gets to David the more lethal her touch becomes for the only man she’s ever loved.

A Writer’s Bad Habit

Or, One Of My Repetitive Issues

Do you have any bad habits in your writing? I never realized before last year how fixated I am on characters’ eyes. Maybe other writers focus on hands or mouths or costumes, but for me it’s all in the eyes.

My heroes and heroines gaze, look, glance, peer, and stare.

I still haven’t figured out what is so fascinating to my subconscious about a person’s eyes, but I have to be careful not to overdo it and distract readers from the larger story.

What about you? Ever read an author too detailed on a character’s gestures or appearance?

 

Tuesday Tease #15

Or, An Excerpt From My Upcoming YA Paranormal Elixir

“The door opened slowly on Simone, the last of Pollard’s group. She wiped her hands across her wide hips, re-arranging the hem of a shirt she’d probably slept in the night before. Hair, clothes, and oral hygiene were all suffering. The apocalypse did not look good on her.”

I’m A Huge Danny Strong Fan

Or, The Time I Met The Mockingjay’s Screenwriter

I have been such a fan of Danny Strong’s since he played Jonathan on Buffy the Vampire Slayer. But knowing he’s writing Mockingjay Parts 1 & 2 only makes me adore him even more.

2003

I don’t usually brag, but since I’ve already started I may as well get it all out now.

At the same convention I was lucky enough to get my picture taken with James Marsters (Spike on Buffy the Vampire Slayer).

2003

This is me and Nora Roberts taken at a Romance Writers of America Convention. She ran out of books to sign so she sweetly offered to take photos with the next people waiting in line.

Sometime in the late 2000′s.

Do you have pics on your phone or maybe next to your desk taken with people you admire? Tell me about it!

Happy New Year!

My New Fave Tattoos

Or, What I Would Get If I Were Brave Enough

I like tattoos, especially tattoos of quotes from books or movies that move people. Here are two from the world of the Hunger Games that made me smile.
