Veil of Shadows…Random Snippets…

"Yes, Commander?"

"Get your ass out here, and in my quarters. You have ten minutes." There was a few seconds of silence and then he added, "And bring Xan with you—will save me the trouble of pretending to look for him when I already know where he is."

Syn made a face at the door and listened to the faint sound of his footfalls as he walked away. Then she turned and met Xan's gaze. "He may decide to tear into you for being here. He's still pissed off at me…you might end up catching some o...

Hunted by The Others

Hunted by the Others by Jess Haines. Read this Friday… finished the last few pages, literally, while we were walking through the fairgrounds at the Kentucky State Fair…with my husband rolling his eyes at me.

Yes…it was good.  But what sucks?  I thought book 2 was out already.  Sigh…Pretty sure the author is new.  Which also means can't find a bunch of other stuff.  Double sigh.

DragonCon

Okay, so I'm going to DragonCon, yep.  I'm going kind of last minute, but I'm going.

I will be (most likely) speaking on a few panels at the Writer's Track (is that how we call it?) although I don't know where/when yet.  I'll get that info, but not until I'm there.

But I know I've got some readers/friends who are asking about some sort of meetup, so…..what I plan on doing is posting via twitter, but I know not everybody tweets like mad the way I do…or at all.  I also plan on trying to post the ...

Haunted By Your Touch

Also posted at GoodReads

This was awesome-Definitely excited about the new world Jeaniene Frost has created and now I need to catch up on Shayla's Doomsday Brethren. I don't think I've read anything by Sharie Kohler before but now I think I'm going to have to check her stuff out.

**Disclaimer…due out in October.  Shayla gave me the ARC.

Veil of Shadows…Random Snippets

Getting closer…just a little over a week…

And what do you intend to do when you find him? she asked herself silently.

Her belly clenched. "Is jumping him an option?" she mumbled.

"Jump who?"

Even the sound of his voice, low and smooth and deep, made her shiver. The icy knot inside dissolved, just like that. Just that easy.

Just that simple. He hadn't even touched her.

Just the sound of his voice thawed the ice.

But the aching loneliness lingered.

Stopping in her tracks, she turned her head...

Thursday Tips…Bookbloggers & Readers

Book bloggers…they are your friends

Besides librarians and booksellers, another group of people you don't want to neglect or abuse?

Bookbloggers.

This doesn't mean going and totally schmoozing it with them.  While some may be totally into that, chances are it will annoy others.

Just talk with them.

When I say talk, I don't mean hit their blog with

Hi, I'm...

Hunter's Fall….blurb and a quickie excerpt…

)

Still no cover.

Not yet.

Oh, well.

If I was artistical, I'd tried to mock up something like I think the cover should look, but I'm not artistical.

How about just the blurb and an excerpt?

Due out early summer of 2011, I believe…

UNKNOWN PAST

Something strange is happening to Nessa. Ever since she survived a near-death experience she's not exactly who she used to be—and enjoying every minute of it. Then she's called upon to go to battle against darkness. If only she could remember why.

UNEXPECTED...

Veil of Shadows…Random Snippets

Since I was such a tease last time, I'll do a longer post today…

"Is it this?" He reached up and touched the patch covering his eye. "More than one person has had a hard time meeting my gaze because of it. Although I would have thought you were more accustomed to those with unsightly scars."

There was no inflection in his voice, and though the light was dim, she could see his face well enough to know there was no expression on it.

"Your scars don't bother me at all. They aren't...

Okay, so I've had a lot of people commenting/emailing/DMing me about an article I had in the RWR-the magazine for RWA' members. Basically, it was a look at the pros and cons of digital/epublishing.  Because it does have it's pros and cons.

Now I'm getting some questions about what to look for in an epublisher/digital publisher, what makes a good contract, etc, etc, etc.

I don't think I'm any sort of expert and please don't take this as any sort of expert...
