The Friday 56
Today is a quickie…I'm struggling to catch up and still get a novella done, so no contest…sorry!
This is from the novella, which is the closest thing at hand.
And when he hadn't answered—
"Damn it, Colby, what's wrong with you??"
Blinking, he forced his eyes wider open, made himself swallow although most of the spit had dried in his mouth.
This is set in the same world as THE MISSING and THE DEPARTED, and I'll have a cover for THE DEPARTED soon. This novella is going to be in an antho with Sylvia Day and Shayla Black.
(BTW, I feel the need to point out…yes, authors are welcome to participate, but keep in mind-there is a line between participation and spamming my blog. The line isn't really all that fine, either. You don't try to use my blog as your promo platform and we're good. And trust me, you don't want to spam my blog. I've been known to strange and unusual things to author spam left on my blog…you wouldn't want your spam-mish post that reads something like… CHECK OUT MY BOOKS to be changed to CHECK OUT MY BOOGERS/MY BOOBS/MY MORNING BREATH, would you? This PSA was left after a few came a little too close lately)

New news…
Okay, so Hunter's Choice is now free on…
Nook
ARe
Kindle
Smashwords
Diesel
Currently, it's not free on Kobo or Sony. Unfortunately, they are slower to work things through the system and this isn't anything in my control. Sorry, guys! But you can always download the various software (Kindle/Nook) to read it on your computer or you can get the format you need from either ARe or Smashwords…PDFs work really on Sony readers and epub is what I think is best for the Kobo. The FAQ page at Smashwords also explains how to get files on various readers. :)
ALSO… I had an interview at Paperback Dolls today… 
Covers! Did you see my covers in the last post? No? Well, you should…here's one of them just to prove it.
Okay. I'm newsed out. I don't think I forgot any other blogs I'm supposed to be at. Until Saturday. O.O
Covers…
I haz covers… Wanna see? Just look below the cut.
This is the next Grimm
I don't have an excerpt posted yet,I don't think, but I'll get one up soon. Well, actually, there is one posted in my forum, here…
And the next one, (I admit, I grinned very, very big when I saw this one)…
This one is book two in the RS series, and there's an excerpt posted here. They managed to nail the look of both the hero and the heroine with this one. I love it.

Yay! Hunter's Fall is out…
And I have to post one of my favorite bits.
"I can't believe this," she said again, shaking her head. I won't.
"Why?" He stroked her hair back from her face, his hands gentle, so gentle and warm and strong.
"Because it's too late." The tears blinding her spilled over and she murmured, "It's too late for me. I've fallen."
"It's not too late . . . I've got you. I won't let you fall."
Also, there's a review and contest up at Vampire Book Club…

Hunter's Fall…Random Snippets
"Well, that was fun," Sheila said, her face pink and her eyes gleaming at him despite the bruising around her left eye.
Normally, Dominic would have stared at her and laughed. She was black-and-blue, and that was her idea of fun? But just then, he heard another whisper. It's long past time that I do this.
…what…? He staggered, all but swamped by a wave of misery—her misery. His woman…his witch. Pressing the heel of his hand to his temple, he braced the other against the brick wall nearby, barely aware of Sheila's odd, worried gaze. "Hey…you okay?"
No. No, he wasn't.
He was hearing her voice again. He could hear her. Clear as day. Clear as a bell. Like she was standing right next to him, murmuring in his ear.
Past time she do what? he thought, half panicked. He was so focused on her, on her voice, he wasn't aware of anything, of anybody else.
I have to let you go. All these years, I waited for death . . . knowing I'd finally be with you, and now, death has denied me. I'm not meant to find you.
The hell she wasn't—he wanted to scream. To snarl in sheer frustration. Over a dream. Over a woman who didn't even exist.
The blood roared in his ears. Dimly, he heard Sheila shouting his name. Heard the scrabble of claws on concrete. There was a howl. Danger—danger—His body tried to scream the warning at him, but he was lost, caught in the spell of his woman's voice as she continued to whisper inside his head.
I don't know why. But I'm not. So I need to let you go.
Good-bye, my love . . .
His heart no longer beat that much, but it still functioned and as her voice echoed in his mind, Dominic felt a tearing pain, unlike anything he'd ever known.
