I'm Pre-Orderable
Wednesday, December 9th, 2009

The next Sexy Beast anthology I’m in (this is IX, and I was also in V) comes out next August and is up for presale at Amazon and Books-A-Million. Yay!

THEN not only did I get the okay to show off my new cover for the print anthology for my In the Heat of the Night series, but it’s now up for pre-order at Amazon, Books-A-Million, and Borders! Pretty sweet, no?

Igloos and Rice Paddles
Tuesday, December 8th, 2009

So, the first big snow hit the Mad Madam M and her puppy Riley up in yonder Idaho, and that meant M had to dig her way out of her apartment in the morning with a rice paddle because it was the only thing she had remotely resembling a shovel. For those who don’t know (as I didn’t and had to ask her), this is a rice paddle.

Once free of their impromptu igloo, M took Riley for her daily morning stroll to take care of business. And here we have five minutes of Riley’s first experience frolicking in the snow. She liked it more than M did, but hey, someone has to like snow, right? Apparently, Riley also liked munching on the snow. Good water source?? Who knows, she’s a puppy! A cute puppy, but still a puppy.

Bookshelf Updated
Monday, December 7th, 2009

The fantabulous CrocoDesigns updated my bookshelf page for me so it’s easier to tell which books are in series together and so you know which books are ebook only and which are in both electronic and print formats. I’ve been getting emails about this from people, so…you spoke, I heard, and then I had a professional figure out how to make it work. I like efficiency, don’t you?

Anyway, behold! The new Bookshelf!

Tickle Those Fantasies
Friday, December 4th, 2009

Isn’t it gorgeous!!! The Tickle My Fantasy anthology is out in print today!!

Go ahead. Try to resist the magic. We dare you!

Carolina Wolf by Sela Carsen (psst! This is me!)
Debra knows that the teensy amount of witchcraft in her veins isn’t worth getting excited about. Yet someone—or something—thinks it’s worth attacking her. Rescuing her seals Maddox’s fate, but only if he can protect her from a rogue of his kind. A werewolf with a nasty streak…and a preference for raw meat.

The Ghost Shrink, the Accidental Gigolo and the Poltergeist Accountant by Vivi Andrews
Lucy is doomed. Not to death. To nightly visits from recently deceased Casanovas without the bodies to scratch her itch. Then a living fantasy arrives on her doorstep. Is her dry spell at an end? Not hardly. Jake has been sent to prevent her from getting laid until a particular horny phantom—and key witness in his investigation—pays her a visit.

ParaMatch.com by MK Mancos
Even though she lives without a paranormalady, Lucille has managed to carve a niche for herself with a paranormal matchmaking service. Enter Jager, deposed king of the Titans and successful paratrader. She can match anyone, except him. She doesn’t know that he’s out to negotiate the deal of a lifetime—a future with her.

Witches Anonymous by Misty Evans
Amy is done with Devil-worshipping. After swearing an oath never to use magic again, she’s in the market for a normal guy to complement her new lifestyle. And Adam looks like perfect hero material. Lucifer, however, isn’t about to be nice about letting her go…

Warning: This book contains hunky werewolves, smart-A** women and men who think that’s sexy, magic, angels, medieval legends, inter-species romance, disco music and flatulent Boxers. (The dogs, not the underwear.)

"The Scroll Thief: a Tale of Ithian" by R. F. Long

Love is the wiliest thief of all.

A Tale of Ithian

Malachy and his sister rely on his talents as a thief to survive the dangerous streets of Klathport, former capital of the once-great kingdom of Ithian. Stealing a few papers should have been a simple job. Instead, it nearly costs their lives and throws them into an improbable alliance with a shape-shifting official, a desert tribeswoman, and a healer of enchanting beauty.

Cerys is far more than a simple healer—and the roots of her mission go deeper into the past than anyone can know. She needs Malachy’s skills to recover a stolen scroll, one that can be used to rewrite history and, in the wrong hands, release the dark powers of the Demon Realm.

Her mission was supposed to atone for a dreadful, long-ago act. Instead, it unleashes a chain of events which sees them pursued through city and desert by the fearsome Dune Witch and a killer known only as His Lordship. Romance, tragedy, and adventure blend in a tale of a magical land on the brink of war, and five unlikely allies who, by putting their lives—and their hearts—on the line, have the opportunity to finally set things right.

But at a terrible cost.

Warning: Contains scenes of graphic violence and torture, captivating magic and beauty, two dashing heroes, three gutsy heroines, several love stories and a heartbreaking sacrifice.

“That’s just how we roll in library science.”

I yanked this off of her Facebook page because I had to share the awesomeness with the world.

It's December! Ahhh!
Tuesday, December 1st, 2009

Happy December everyone!

That means it’s time to roll out the mittens and scarves and be all officially winterized and stuff. It also means holiday shopping and and office parties and my birthday! Ahhhhhhhhhh!

I did have an awesome time for Thanksgiving though. It’s always good to see people you love and hang out with them. It’s also awesome when that means you don’t have to cook the holiday nummies all by yourself. Or worse, eat them all by yourself (been there, done that).

There were some horrifying parts of the holiday that I won’t talk about, because that would be unthankful, but M knows what I’m referring to here.

I’m not sure how I’ll handle my birthday this year. I’ll be 29, which may be like nada to some of you, but it’s the oldest I’ve ever been and it’s an official 365 day countdown to the big 3-0. I didn’t think 30 would bother me, but I’m finding that I was wrong, wrong, wrong on that one. So sad when we lie to ourselves, no?

Denial. It’s not just a river in Egypt.
