Update

Hi, everyone!  I've been pretty quiet lately, but I promise I have a good excuse–I've been writing!  (Though I promise to post more this month–I'm hoping to start some writing craft posts soon.)

So I have some news to share. First up, I thought I'd talk about what I'm currently writing–it's a book with the tentative title of BURN FOR ME.  This is the first book in a new contract that I've signed with Kensington Brava (I'm doing three more full-length novels for Kensington–yay! I love writing my paranormals with my most awesome editor!).   The world in BURN FOR ME is a bit different from that of my other Kensington books. The paranormals are very much "out" in this book.  The humans all know of their existence, and this is not necessarily a good thing for those supernaturals…

The hero of BURN FOR ME is a phenix. Every time that he dies, he burns, and then he rises once more. Only…with each death, the hero comes back a bit darker.  Far more dangerous.   Each death puts him closer to madness.

Yes, I'm having fun with his story. I'm actually *almost* to the end of the draft, and that means that I pretty much just want to sit and write and my family has to wave their hands in front of my face in order to get my attention. I'll be turning in this story on March 1. I don't have a release date for it yet, but I'm thinking it will be in 2013.

For my next bit of update-y news…

I wanted to talk about my Bound novellas. Actually I wanted to send out a giant THANK YOU to readers regarding my Bound novellas. I am pretty overwhelmed by the success that these novellas have seen. Thank you! Thank you for reading the stories. For tweeting about them. For reviewing them. For spreading the word about them to readers. You're amazing. Can I say again…thank you?  I am so glad that readers are enjoying my werewolf/vampire novellas.

When I started the Bound series, I wanted to create stories that featured my two favorite paranormal characters–a werewolf and a vampire. So my heroines were the vampires who became "Bound" to the werewolf heroes. I have enjoyed writing these books so very much–and, yes, I do plan to release a 4th Bound novella.  The idea is all formed in my head and ready to go, and I'd like to release this book in March (maybe early April).  I'll have more details on that soon.

And…third piece of news…I often get emails from readers asking me if I will be writing any more romantic suspenses. The answer is…yes! Heck, yes!  I'm actually working on a new romantic suspense novel right now.  Again, more details will be coming soon.  But I just wanted to let you know–it's coming! I love romantic suspense, and I'm excited to write this story.

Now, it's back to writing time for me.  I hope that you have a great day!
