Title trouble no more

Okay, I've selected a title for the next Veil book.

Thanks for all the entries.  I'm going with Veil of Shadows.  This title wasn't specifically named, however, Dani & Medumb both mentioned *shadows* and I'm going to offer them a prize as my way of saying thanks.

If you two can email me @ shilohwalker(at)gmail.com, I'll get in touch with you about your prize.

Again, thanks to all who offered title suggestions.  Syn and Xan thank you, too.  They didn't like being titleless.

Do you finish?

Was at the Borders blog the other day, procrastinating, blog-hopping, take your pick, and the subject of finishing books came up.

I don't finish a book I'm not enjoying.  With a few rare exceptions, it's just not something I mess with.  I'm impatient and if the book isn't working, I'm not likely to stick with it.  I'm also greedy with my time.  If a book isn't appealing to me, it's a waste of time, for me, to finish.  So I don't.  Those rare exceptions are for when I'd previously enjoyed books by

Grimm's Circle… Excerpt from Candy Houses

Every once in a while, I think most writers probably get these ideas that are just plain fun.  Fun…as in, sitting down to write the book is like jumping on a roller coaster, a quick, wild ride that just never lets up.

Candy Houses was one of those ideas.  Candy Houses…think dark, bloody fairy tales, set in modern times.  The heroine is like a dark-haired version of Buffy the Vampire Slayer-complete butt kicker.  Hero wears long, flowing sort of coat-the duster type and likes sharp shiny objects.

Hunter's Fall

I've started the next Hunters book.  It is going to be Nessa's story, for those who mentioned her when I asked about other Hunter characters.  This was pretty much already the plan in place.  So if you have other characters you're interested, feel free to mention.  Am curious. 

Nessa's hero is Dom, who was introduced in Hunters: Rafe & Sheila.  I knew the minute Dom showed up in the book that he'd get a story.  But at the time, I wasn't planning on Nessa ever getting one.  I didn't really have

Blurb

Right now, I'm a redhead. I've been blonde and brunette as the situation requires, though an unscheduled color change usually means relocating in the middle of the night. So far, I'm doing well here. Nobody knows what I'm running from. And I'd like to keep it that way…
