Once Burned snippet

It’s the final month of deadline so I don’t have a lot going on except work, and who wants to hear me ramble about that? In lieu of shop talk, here’s another snippet from Once Burned. If you missed the other snippets, by the way, they’re here and here. In the scene below, the heroine Leila has been instructed by kidnappers to use her ability to glean information through touch to find a vampire whose name she doesn’t know, but whose pyrokinetic abilities she’s glimpsed in previous psychic...

Just got these from my publisher so I wanted to share them.

Breaking my own rule

Breaking my own rule

As regular blog readers know, I usually don’t re-link reviews to my books. Reason being is that I’m fortunate enough to have lots of reviews on my titles and I don’t want blog readers to feel spammed by constant re-linking (or other bloggers/reviewers to feel slighted if I re-post links from Bloggers A and B but not C and D). However, please indulge me while I break my own rule since Once Burned is the start of a new series and I’m too excited about it to keep these early reviews all to myself . Don’t worry – this doesn’t...

RT recap, Day 3

Okay, on to Saturday, the third day of the RT convention. Among other things, that was also the RT Giant Book Fair day. I can’t remember what made me run a little late (as I said in my prior post, everything starts to become a blur), but I got there only ten minutes before the doors opened. I’d brought a bunch of swag with me so I was still setting up when the first readers found me. If you were there, you know that I had book marks as well as these:            Yep, bracelets with a slogan on the back for each character are what...

RT recap, days 1 and 2

Got in last night from RT after a stormy drive back to NC. Because it would be twelve hours total driving, I broke the trip into two days. Very glad about that, too. Sleep can be optional sometimes at conventions so I was driving while a slightly bleary-eyed. Before I begin my recap, let me apologize to everyone I met/chatted with that I don’t mention in this post. 90% of the time, I see only my husband, dog, and a few family members so the explosion of people I see at a convention is a little overwhelming.  I end up feeling like everything...
