Mystery man revealed…again :)

When I released the cover for Once Burned the other day, dozens of readers replied, “Hey, that’s Paul Marron!” I didn’t know if this was true (I STILL don’t know who the Cat and Bones models are, btw) so I asked my editor. She consulted with the art department and was told that the model’s name was James Rizzo. So, being the diligent author that I am (HA! people who know me cry) I went about correcting people on the model’s name. Then….(cue spooky music as the plot thickens)….The Reading...

Once Burned cover!

Once Burned cover!

At last, I’ve been given permission to reveal the cover for Once Burned, Night Prince book one. Without further ado, here it is! And in case you didn’t see the other posts, here’s the description, too. ETA: The cover model is Paul Marron. In the comment section before, I incorrectly gave a different name.   She’s a mortal with dark powers… After a tragic accident scarred her body and destroyed her dreams, Leila never imagined that the worst was still to come: terrifying powers that let her channel electricity and...

$.99 special

$.99 special

I just realized that while I announced this before on Facebook and Twitter, I neglected to mention it on my blog (Bad author, no cookie!). First, sorry about that. Second, for a limited time, the e-anthology Under Her Skin is only $.99. Below is the description. Three short stories of paranormal romance from bestselling authors Jeaniene Frost, Ilona Andrews, and Meljean Brook. ”Pack” by Jeaniene Frost brings you a tale of a lost hiker and her encounter with some very frightening–and sexy–wolves. A female werewolf helps a sheriff...

Back to work and cable woes

Back to work and cable woes

Copyedits for Once Burned have been turned in, my inbox is mostly caught up, and I have a decent start on a new music playlist. These are all good things because today marks my official “Back to new writing” schedule. What am I writing, I’ll assume you asked? Cat and Bones book seven. Last week I cleared the outline with my editor so it’s full steam ahead. The scariest words for me to write are Chapter One, but I got through those a few days ago so I’m telling myself the worst is over (Wrong! every writer exclaims...

New year, no resolutions

New year, no resolutions

Hope everyone had a great holiday! As stated in the subject line, I decided not to do any resolutions for 2012. Don’t get me wrong, this doesn’t mean I’m taking the year off. I still have deadlines, appearances, and plenty of other things to keep me busy, but I want to reset how I go about approaching those. Take losing weight. One of my hopes is to shave off some of the extra jiggle that found its way onto me, and I’ll do it by eating healthier and moving around more (my couch and I spent a lot of the holidays together, heh). But...

Once Burned excerpt

Once Burned excerpt

Hope everyone had a great holiday! I’ve been asked by several readers to post an excerpt from Once Burned, and to show that I can be obedient, here one is . For those who haven’t read the book’s description, I’m also copying it below. In this scene, Vlad has just brought Leila back to his house under an agreement she isn’t so comfortable with – and she doesn’t know he’s the “real” Dracula yet. She thinks he has role-playing issues by calling himself Vlad, heh. Note: The scene in the book is slightly longer. I edited...

Spreading some TV cheer

Spreading some TV cheer

Until the 27th, I can say that I’m caught up on writing (Dec 27th is the date I’ll get copyedits on Once Burned). This doesn’t mean that I’m free from other business duties, but it does mean that I have a little more time away from my desk. Good thing, too. Otherwise, I swear I would’ve needed a name tag for my husband to remember who I was *wink*. With this additional down time, I’ve found some TV shows that I really enjoy. Some of these just debuted, and some have been out for years (but they’re new...

December updates

This past week has been busy, and while I tell myself that things will slow down soon, with the holidays almost here, I doubt it . Last Thursday, I finished revisions on Once Burned and sent it off to my editor. Until I get the copyeditor’s change requests on it, I can say that I’m done, heh. On the same day, we had a friend come in from Florida to stay with us. He’d hoped to go skiing. Two days before he arrived, the chances of that seemed good because this was what it looked...

Happy Thanksgiving and holiday contest

First, thanks so much for all your supportive comments on my last post. I’m late replying to them because revisions for Once Burned are due back to my editor next week (Time off? What’s that? ). Thanksgiving is this week, and on Thursday, I’m looking forward stuffing myself with turkey and, well, stuffing, heh. Calorie counting will have to wait until later. Speaking of the holidays, if some of yours -  like some of mine – have been of the less-than-tranquil variety, you’ll perhaps appreciate the post I wrote...
