It's Out and a new Cover

Well, A FAERIE TALE has come out at Liquid Silver yesterday. :) My fourth book in a year since Fallen: Celeste came out the last week in September last year. Wow. Four books, I can't believe it. My fifth book will be out next month and my sixth one has been contracted as well. I'm on my way to seeing my dream come true. Welll, actually, my dream did come true when I received the email telling me that LSB wanted to publish Celeste and the dreams have just been building since then.

This is the cover for my fourth FALLEN book, Danielle's story. Looks pretty good, doesn't it? ;)

HOUSE M.D. is on tonight. Woo-hoo! My only true tv addiction. I don't really watch anything else except for Extreme Home Makeover which is enough to make me cry every time I see it. My dh just shakes his head as he walks by me sniffling. My cats stare at me like I'm crazy.

Cover Model Rescue Team....Rescuing One Hot Man at a Time.

A Faerie Tale anthology

Here's the cover for A Faerie Tale. (cover art by April Martinez) It'll be released next Monday. I can't wait for people to read this one. The tale of four faerie sisters who are sent to the four corners of the world to find love and save the world. My heroine is the one in the back, purple wings and burgundy body. :) The Faerie of Song.

Her hero is Cyno Wellington. He's a cryptozoologist and since there are three objectives that any cryptozoologist might look for. I'm pretty sure readers can expect two more books with a crypto as a main character. lol Since I can't even write a short story without having at least one sequel in mind...lol.

I worked with Fabiano Fabris on my cover for DANIELLE. He's done all of the Fallen covers so far and he does an awesome job. As soon as it's done and turned in, I'll post it here and on my website. Woo-Hoo! This is a different type of Fallen story. You learn more about the fallen and what they can do. With a cameo by Lucifer himself. Just to whet your appetite because Lucifer plays a bigger role in Christian's story which is the next book in the series. If you read it, you'll have to let me know what you think of turning Lucifer into a hero of his own story. I have ideas for it, but I want to make sure people would like to read it. :)

THE VEIL: HEAVEN & HELL is coming along. I have the synopsis finished. Now I can get back to the actual story and get that done. Still at 5k for the story, but the synopsis is 2k, so I'm doing some work. :)

My thoughts and prayers go out to those affected by Hurricane Rita. Please be safe and heed mandatory evacuation orders. They're there for your protection. I still send out good vibes for all those still suffering from Katrina. It'll be a long time before the South recovers from this hurricane season.

A Thing for Hugh Laurie

I'm addicted to House, M.D. that airs on Fox on Tuesday nights. Hugh Laurie is hot and an awesome actor. I became a fan of Mr. Laurie's when I was exposed to Rowan Atkinson's Black Adder series on the BBC. My husband is a huge fan of Black Adder. So I've seen every episode.

House is a great character, proving that you don't have to like a character to empathise with him. As much as you want to slap the man upside the head..that's how much you want to give him a hug. :) Laurie does a wonderful job hiding his British accent.

Maybe as a treat to myself, I'll go and buy the first Season of House.

Great news. A FAERIE TALE will be released next Monday, Sept. 26th at Liquid Silver Books. Paige Burns, a debut author, Jodi Lynn Copeland and Rae Monet join me in this anthology about four Faerie sisters having to find true love or marry the orge King. Two of the stories are erotic contemporaries and two are erotic shapeshifter stories. :)

Still working on the synopsis of THE VEIL: HEAVEN & HELL along with a m/m story called IMPERFECTIONS. A bronc riding cowboy and an East Coast equestrian...makes for an interesting story.

Christmas in September

Okay...I understand Christmas in July. But things have gotten out of hand now. I was in JoAnne's yesterday, picking up a picture and they have Christmas stuff out all ready. Totally crazy. Someone has forgotten there's at least two holidays to celebrate before Christmas. Both of them are pagan celebrations. Halloween and Thanksgiving (the Pilgrims didn't have Thanksgiving. The Native Americans had a type of celebration commerating the harvest. We stole it from them...lol)

They're fun holidays. Lots of candy and food. Football and parties. What are we missing by skipping them to start worry about Christmas so early? Has anyone started their Christmas shopping all ready? Not me. I'll start at the beginning of December and hope I get everything by the time Christmas Eve rolls around. :)

Oh and what was I thinking? Christmas is a pagan holiday as well. Jesus wasn't born in December, but to bring the pagans into the fold, the Christians decided to make his birthday close to the Winter solistce.

Soon Christmas decorations will out the week after Easter. :)

Still working on THE VEIL: HEAVEN & HELL. Not much written except on the synopsis. :(

Football Season Is Here Again

Okay...so officially the football season started last weekend. I'm just a little late. Saturday and Sunday, I enjoyed my husband screaming at the tv about the coach and the play calling. Okay...you know and I know that the people on the tv can't hear us, but that doesn't seem to matter much to my husband. I ignored him and tried to enjoy the games. I don't have favorite teams. I root for both and hope for a good close game. :)

I'll be starting edits soon on Danielle's story and the cover art is being worked on as we speak. (Well, technically not right at this moment and we're not really talking...lol)

THE VEIL: HEAVEN & HELL is at 5k words. Only 20k more for the first part of it. Woo-hoo! lol Been working on a couple other stories as well. But I'm ahead of my own self-imposed schedule, so that's okay.

Working on booking accomendations for the RT convention down in Daytona next year. Guess I should register for that as well...lol.

This year's RT was a blast. My first time and I was nervous as heck, trying to figure out who everyone was, meeting new people and having my first official book signing. Everything went well and I made new friends. :)

Now I'm an old pro at this and get to help the newbie authors around...lol

Back To Work

I've been sick the past couple of days, but it hasn't stopped me from writing...lol. I doubt anything could do that...not even a broken arm. I'd just get a little tape recorder and dictate my stories. :)

BREAKING NEWS: Fallen: Danielle has been contracted by Liquid Silver. I've signed on the dotted line and mailed it out today. Woo-Hoo! Also, we should know by the weekend when A FAERIE TALE anthology is scheduled for release.

I've been working on THE VEIL: HEAVEN & HELL. I've got 2k typed in so far and probably another 1k written out in long hand. As Paige says, I'm the long hand queen. I don't know...I just like writing in a journal and since I'm addicted to pens...I like to use them...lol

With Danielle being contracted, I have three published stories and three that have been contracted. :) So all together I have six since my first story, FALLEN: CELESTE came out...it might be seven soon since I sent in SACKING THE QUARTERBACK to LSB this week. :) Keep your fingers crossed.

Well, that's all the good news for today. Take care...enjoy the day..I know I will.

Remember when?

Remember when...as Americans, we believed we were safe from terrorists attacks?
Remember when....terrorist attacks were things that happened over there?

Remember the day all those beliefs were destroyed?

The fourth anniversary of 9/11 is upon us today and we take a moment to remember everyone whose lives changed forever that day. Not only those who died, but their loved ones, the rescue workers who did their job and an entire nation whose sense of security disappeared in a matter of minutes.

Yet here we are, dealing with another disaster. This one wrought by the hands of Mother Nature and the hands of man. The people whose lives changed forever on Sept 1, 2005 are suffering and need our prayers.

Both groups still need our prayers and thoughts as the years go by. Both will be marked forever by these events and September will never be looked upon the same way. And we'll all be singing Green Day's song "Wake Me When September Ends"

P.S. Started working on THE VEIL: HEAVEN & HELL. Got a whopping 775 words done yesterday, but I did go back and re-read ANGELS & DEMONS to refresh my memory about my characters.

Finished

Whew! Sacking The Quarterback is done and in the hands of my very lucky CP...lol. Well, I might be stretching the truth there a little. Since I've managed to inudate her with two stories this week. The other one is a very short story called THE JOURNEY OF BELLA NIGHT: Episode One: Saving Zev. It's my own little twist on were-wolves.

My publisher, Loose-Id, is working on putting together a blog of short stories to benefit Hurricane relief. I'll let everyone know more details as I get them, but that's what the Bella Night story is for.

Now it's on to part three and four of my VEIL series. THE VEIL: ANGELS & DEMONS which is scheduled for release from Loose-Id in October contains two stories...BELTAINE'S ANGEL and KALAN'S DEMON. The next one THE VEIL: HEAVEN & HELL (working title) will contain two more stories....SYMPATHY FOR THE DEVIL and A SENSE OF BALANCE.

Stop by www.loose-id.com to check out the cover for ANGELS & DEMONS. Pretty cool, isn't it?

I'm still waiting to hear back about FALLEN: DANIELLE. So no news on that front.

Well, this is just an information entry, I guess. For some reason, my mind isn't interested in talking about world events or political things.

Oh btw I watched a perfectly yummy man win a tennis match last night. :) Roger Federer is a talented hottie. Definitely makes tennis more enjoyable. I just might have to use him as inspiration for a hero soon.

P.S. My friend and fellow author, Paige Burns and I have started a yahoo group. Cover Model Rescue Team. It's going to be a discussion group..not only of our books, but all other topics we and our team members can think of. There'll be more info later.

Happy Labor Day

I hope everyone has a wonderful Labor Day. I got up early this morning and went out to write on my front porch. Lovely time...peace and quiet. Well almost quiet...my cats sat inside and whined at me through the window. Oh well.

It looks like they've managed to stop the madness in New Orleans. Now they can focus on the recovery and reconstruction of the city. I do hope they rebuilt...maybe not in the same spot, but New Orleans must rise again and be the wonderfully entertaining city it once was. But this time, there needs to be better plans in place.

I'm still working on StQ. It's at 24,010 words..only need about 6-7k more and I'll be done. But I interrupted the story again to write a short story for Loose-Id. The people at Loose-Id are putting together something to help raise money for relief efforts. Great idea and I love my story line. :) I hope everyone else does as well. I think readers will like Bella Night and her interesting life. ;)

Take care and send out thoughts of good will and prayers to all the Hurricane survivors.

Where Are You, Superman?

As I watch an event unfolding that has never been seen in America before-the total destruction of a major city, I begin to wonder where is Superman? Where is the Terminator? Where is Will Smith's character from Independence Day or even Bill Pullman's? Events like these happen in movies all the time and there is always a super hero around who manages to save the day. But where is the hero that's going to go and save New Orleans?

Wait a minute....there are heroes already there. Policemen whose own homes have been destroyed and whose own families are in danger. Firefighters doing what they can to save people. National Guardsmen standing in the line of fire, knowing that as more destruction happens and more people become angry, their lives could be forfeit to the madness and fear. Doctors and nurses trying to save their patients without food, water or electricity. Rescue teams from around the country risking their lives to save others. Coast Guard pilots and rescuers giving it their all.

Yet in despair, we realize that it isn't enough. The heroes can't save everyone. They can't push back the water. They can't put out the fires. The heroes can't stop the anchary of those who will take advantage of this disaster. For there are people in New Orleans who don't want to be saved. They want to take what they can and destroy what they can. They want power to take life or give it. They are angry, but at who or what? We can't say. They will kill those very people who long to save them. Those very people who will be racked with guilt when they have to leave, knowing there were some they couldn't save.

I've been working on my stories, yet in the back of my mind, I can't help thinking how unimportant they are in the larger scheme of things.

SACKING THE QUARTERBACK is 21k so far...only about 10k more to get written and I can turn it in. :)

Send prayers and thoughts of strength to the people of the Gulf Coast who must endure this. Also, surround the rescue workers, National Guardsmen and the other heroes down in New Orleans. May God keep them all in his hands.

Break down of Civilization

Watching the news reports coming out of the hurricane ravaged Gulf coast, one begins to see the break down of civilization. The fear of what will happen in the next several days as the water stagnates and conditions get worse has overwhelmed the normal inhabitions of the people. I'm sure there are more good things happening than bad, but the news doesn't get the ratings by talking about the good.

Shots being fired...people looting and taking things that won't help them now....cizitens of the greatest government in the world wondering where that government is...where is the help they need right now? The total breakdown of the infrastructure of the local governments has hampered things so severely down there.

Yet good things are happening. We might not be able to see them through all the destruction, but help is coming. The rest of the country is on their way to help-phsyically and financially.

There is shock that a great city like New Orleans lies under water now. Yet, it was bound to happen. Mother Nature has a way of mocking us at every turn and nature has a way of taking back what we've taken from it. So we are left with the aftermath of mythic proportions.

Prayers and thoughts go out to the people who will not see their homes in months. Some will never be able to return. How do you rebuild? How do you find the courage and the strength to go on from an event so horrific? They will find a way. And our Gulf coast will be rebuild...maybe not as it once was, but hopefully better.
