The anthology is finally finished.

So we finished the anthology, it came in at 26+k and has 9 stories. Audra and i are so happy with it. Its stories of the characters in the main books, and its going to be in print through us for a limited time only. As soon as we get it all finished and formatted... everyone will know! We are really excited for this one, and it will so get you hooked on the characters... some of the stories you have read before, but about 5 of them you havent.

it feels good to finish something else... Now all we need to do is finish the Samba submission tomorrow and take a much needed break so that Audra and i can acclamate to life and everything else.

Now all i have to do is write the blurby for each story, and find some good cover art...

Saturday and Stupidity

So yesterday was a sucky day. I started my new job, which is beyond awful, and then got stuck in 7 hours of traffic cuz some idiot took a header off a building. Ok maybe its just me, but I feel like people that commit suicide are beyond Selfish. All cuz they had to end their life (And it was a Suicide, they even said it on the news) they had to make gridlock traffic on every major road, and stop people from getting home. Pure selfish. Im not a believer of pitying the person that takes their own life. my heart goes out to the persons family.

So we did get the edits done. *sigh* one more to go for that story. With Audras schedule i dont even know whats going on with anything dealing with it. I only hope we get it soon.

And today, tomorrow, and monday is working day. The goal is to finish the samba, the four short stories we are doing to an anthology, and crack the whip on the dragon. hes being difficult. And we have a pretty good turn out for our contests so far. I cant wait to see how the major one does.

OOh and Dont forget that Forbidden Publications is having their opening this week! We are going to have goodies for give aways!

Stella

surprised

Well i was totally surprised at the turn out for the contest on phaze yesterday. being that we are so new i didnt think anyone would show, but there wrre a few and i was totally surprised. It was a good feeling. I would really like it if it was amplified by 100 but im sure we will get to that point one day.

And we sent out our book to two review sites that i knew Phaze wouldnt, and hopefully it will touch the right people. Everyone must love Marsh and Janey.

So today is trying to finish the edits for Bargain, and maybe if time allows, finishing the short story we have been working on, or possibly the dragons or the Samba. either way, i think getting something done is a good thing.

Off to write/edit.

Stella

Im at that point were im just not excited this week, which isnt good. I think things are starting to pile up for me to do. And there really isnt enough hours in the day. And i should be greatful i know, but i just dont enjoy getting everything at once.

And we got our postcards today, they look great and im looking forward to getting more! Hopefully you guys will see them soon.

And we found out our book with Phaze, will be out either the 21st or the 23rd i think, so well keep you posted. Im just looking foward to getting Marsh and Janey out there.

Stella

Our first interview

Well the wonderful ladies at Pretty Scary did a kick ass interview with us for the website And we are sooo excited! Granted theres some discrepancies (IE: Bargain by Starlight not out now, but as far as we know it will be out in june, more on that as we get it) but on the whole everything else is accurate! I cant belive we got an interview!!!!! So go and see it and let us know what you think!

Stella

New Cafe Press Store

Like the tile eh? We got a new Cafe Press Store for Eververse stuff! Right now we only have CONGLACIO merchandise, but im working on getting some different stuff up and out... Graphics are fun, but im so damn bad at them. So im hoping this does well, either way, we are going to have Eververse merch to play with for us, and thats the good thing. Audra is already freaking out about the mug. So what are you waiting for? go check it out, support your favorite demons and Enjoy the Eververse!

Stella

a very productive day.

So we finished the first pass with Surrender in Moonlight, Reece and Carmen's story, at 27759 so far. it still needs bulking with discription and detail and we are figuring its going to end up around 30k, the longest of what we consider a short story, and second in the Snakes trilogy. We are really proud of this one, and i hope that if and when its published, youll like it as much as we do.

I started our Samba submission today, and boy are the characters in that story talking. in the last three hours I have written about 1,163 words and I know Audra is going to love picking up the slack on this one. Again, this one is really amusing, and i hope it will do well. the way this one is working out, well have this one done quickly, and waiting in the wings for submission.

And we have about 6k done on the dragon story that we picked up today again, and its slow going, but i think it will prove to be a good one as well. The question is where to send it when its done? I feel that its a good idea to send to different publishers, and since we have three under our belt already, we should send to another right? I would love to send it to EC, but the wait there is insane. So well see were it ends up.

Our Rune story for Cobblestone is on the back burner right now, the characters just arent talking. thank god we dont have a deadline for that one. and maybe we picked the wrong Rune, but time will tell.

back to work.

Stella

edits.

so we got the first round of edits. audra is almost finshed with her end of it. which is cool.

Reece is not cooperating with working on the snake story, and that kinda blows. And the dragons are not dealing well either, Char is being very bitchy about talking. eh...

So we didnt get as much as we wanted to done in the past two weeks, but at least we got the interview in for pretty scary. so promo is good.

Stella

Frustration

the situation is growing tense, and i dont like feeling like this, especially about my work. with everything that was said recently, i had hoped that the situation was taken care of, but still, its tuesday and no edits. I dont know what to do.

truth? I wanna email and bitch people out, this is not cool, bordering on disrespectful, and is confirming my suspicions that we arent important there, and reinforcing the fact that we arent in any way priority, and at the best, an afterthought. Its not like the story is long, and it should have been taken care of before the other people that got contracted after us. this is neither fair not good for business. and i feel like maybe we shouldnt submit there anymore, especially if our work is going to be overlooked like it has been.

So i dont know what to do, and i dont know how to broach the subject either, aside from flying off the handle. this just really is rude now, and in all fairness we should ahve been taken care of first, and if we couldnt with our current assignment, then the assignment should have been changed. We all do have other things in our lives, work, college... the fact that we have been delayed so much is really disheartening.

What to do now?

Stella

We sold the Snake Series!

So Forbidden Publications is now the home of our Snake Shifter Series ! Try saying that 3 times fast! So we are delighted to be working with Rene Walden and all the other wonderful ladies on Forbidden. The company opens in May, and with what i have seen, your going to make it one of your top five pubs. The covers are awsome, the writers are brassy, wild and no holds barred, and the stories are erotic, sexy, and wonderful.

So that said heres a blurb of the first book in the series, Beyond the Vision of Dreams

Being one of three breeding age males in the Shadow Heights nest, Remy
Crane is a Were python beyond ready to start a nest of his own and
settle down. He begins having some extremely erotic dreams about a
woman he's sure doesn't exist, and he chalks it up to his subconscious
mind wishing for his perfect woman. Imagine his surprise when he wakes
up one morning and finds the woman of his dreams standing just inside
the front door of the Weresnake compound. He recognizes Chrissy
Stanford as his mate, albeit instinctually only, and decides he needs
to have her in his bed. Little does he know she's going to become part
of his heart as well.

Sounds good right? We thought so and apparently so did Forbidden. Youll be meeting Reece and chrissy as soon as we finish the story so keep your eyes peeled!

Stella

Edits done for Wishes

Wishes is now done edit wise, i think... and it wasnt too bad. Im looking foward to seeing it in the Phaze store. *Sigh* So we havent heard back from forbidden yet, which i guess is cool... and Reece and Carmen are a bit over 17k right now and we are about half way with them i think. thats a great story and probably one we are the most proud of so far, other than the main work which we adore.

The trick is to get you guys to read snakes.

Char and Alcyone are up after we finish this story, and i think youll like our dragon elementals a bit too. We have two of the four stories started, so well see how it goes.I do love them...

so today is the mall for a bit, and hopefully transfering the website over to the new provider. wish me luck with that...

Stella

Progress....

So we have made progress on the second weresnake story. Im loving this... its been so much fun writing them, and i think the reason is there no frame of refrence with it. With wolves and cats (even though i detest wolves ill talk about it) You have to wrack your brain for stuff that hasnt been done yet thats not too far off them mark. With snakes, its all new and im really enjoying shaping their part of the Eververse. We are looking at three stoires for them, Three cousins by blood (though three different snakes)living in the upstate NY nest, the only three adult males left. Each has their own reasons for wanting or not wanting a mate, but rest assured, they all fall at Fates feet for the women they love.

I hope that people will put away their predjuices about snakes when they consider reading these stories, if not they are going to miss some very sweet and touching stories. Why is it that people accept Wolves and Cats so readily? Personally i find Snakes beyond facinating, and love writing about the nest in NY. Dont think scaly and icky. If you do your ignorant. Snakes are not icky, and they are smooth, actually warm and and not Scaly at all.

these snakes arent looking to get you.... then again most snakes arent. I just hope that we get a better look at this then what we have gotten so far in the future. Innovantion and keeping things fresh is what keeps the world revolving, and like your mother always said, how do you know you wont like it unless you try it?

Stella

Chat tonite on Phaze!

tonite is our first chat on Phaze and we, all the surge authors, are spolighted! so come and visit and chat it up! we will be chatting about our submission, WISHES

hope to see you there!

Stella

wonder of wonders...

So it seems that we will be pretty finished with the Weresnake story by tuesday, and thats encluding all the awsome padding and the editing. So im psyched. We are going to be sending it to our publisher Cobblestone Press and hopefully they will like it enough to publish it. If not, well we can shop it around... no biggie...

Anyway, News on the Phaze front is that We got our Editor!!!! Kat is our editor and im super excited about it... i cant wait to get WISHES out! (Well it will make room for the two others in the wish races series..yay!)

And Promo Crystal has set up a chat for the Phaze surge authors as well. More on that was it develops (time and room) but its on April 19th, a Wensday, so mark your calendars! We will both be on hand to talk about our story and the ever delectable hero, Nicodemus Marsh.

So another thing thats come up recently is Interviews and i have no clue as to how to go about getting us interviewed... but i guess its something i better learn. Thank the saints for Crystal, shes really pushing for all the crazy shit none of us know about and leading us through by hand... shes so getting goodies when i see her...
