Veil of Shadows…Random Snippets/Saturday Snippets

More…. Because I love to tease…

Xan had spent much of his life learning to school his emotions, his reactions, everything.  In that moment, he was very glad.  Because he would hate for his emotions to show in just that moment.  He would hate for his reactions to show in just that moment.

He looked at Captain Laisyn Caar and thought only one thing:

WANT.

It was a powerful, all-consuming urge that damn near obliterated every other thought in his mind.

(yes…I know that's a short one, but damn it...

Thursday Tips…Booksellers & Librarians

Thursdays Tips-geared toward the newly pubbed/newly contracted author.  Got any Qs/comments?  Feel free to mention in comments.

Booksellers

I've been published since 2003, in print since 2004, but it didn't dawn on me that I could really help my career if I would do this little thing called networking with booksellers and librarians.

Yes…librarians, people.  Never, ever neglect librarians in this business.  I can't tell you how often I grit my teeth in sheer frustration when I see an author...

Decision Made…

FYI.  This is me.

Big time.  I'm used to juggling multiple projects, doing this, doing that, even if I'm feeling run down, but sometimes, tossing in a few extra things…well, that's all it takes to bring down a house of cards.

One or two things hit my house of cards over the past few days and I felt like I was about to buckle.

Now, they probably seem like small things–and looking back in a few days, a few weeks, a few months, I might even see them as...

Veil of Shadows… Random Snippets…

Wow. It's getting close to time for Veil of Shadows, huh?

Time to start spamming blogland (or my little corner of it) with random snippets.

The first time she saw the man, Laisyn Caar knew he was going to be trouble.

Syn really, really didn't have the time for it or the inclination to deal with it. Not that fate obviously gave a damn.

Like a lot of the refugees they'd taken in over the years, he wore threadbare clothes and he carried little in the way of material goods. A lot of the refugees...

Cool interviews…and awesome cause…

Guys, you should go out the interviews at this website-In Search of Giants.  And here's a starting point…Farrah Rochon.  Read.  Comment.  Every comment helps raise money for school supplies for kids.  That's easy, right?

New Releases/Reissue…Under Your Spell

This is one of my older ebooks from EC-actually one of my fave stories from them, really.  I've always loved this one for some reason.  It was originally only available in the Hot Spell/Seasons of Magic anthologies, but now it can be purchased on it's own.

Nicholas Montgomery fell in love with a bewitching woman only months before his sworn obligation to marry another. His beloved's fury cast a spell that lasted hundreds of years.

You will never love another like you love me. You will...

Say what…

I'm confused…

I received an interesting email while I was away at Nationals.

I would be happy to send a complimentary copy for your consideration and possible review. Please let me know if you are interested in experiencing…

Okay, so this isn't the first time this has happened…I've gotten a few of these lately.  I'm not sure why.

So I've added something about reviews and stuff to my FAQs, even though I'm not sure why anybody would think I'm a reviewer.

But, just in...

A Friday/Saturday MeMe Mashup…

I've got another thing going on this weekend so I may or may not be around.  Just in case… a MeMe mashup.  I'm mashing my Friday 56 up with my Saturday Snippets.

So from page 56 of my current WIP…*G* Book 3 in my RS trilogy…

"Something…shit.  I don't know, it's like there are pieces missing from the puzzle and until I've got those pieces, I can't find whatever so-called closure I'm supposed to find to get on with my life."

And because I can already hear people gnashing their teeth, here's a...

New Cover Alert…

Rapunzel, Rapunzel…let down your long hair…

Although that's not quite how this story is going to go.  But it's a Grimm.  What do you expect?

will be out in ebook in October.  Out in print possibly the latter half of 2011, not sure yet.
