Days Away...

And Im not ready. Today is going to be cleaning, picture hanging, finishing packing, and doing all the necessary hooey to finish up everything. I swear i always bite off more then i can chew.
With everything going as is, Im very excited, and I get to see Aud very soon!

Silk and Steel is now out for review to a few places that i KNOW will get me the book quickly, and that makes me happy. Im hoping that Ill get some reviews while at RT so that Ill feel a bit better about releases on the 12th. I still feel like i havent done any promo for it.

Deep Water will hopefully be finished before we leave. we are only about 4k off from target so its not so bad, but Im now stressing about it. And I really dont feel like i have gotten enough promo stuff for RT. I know Im going to forget something vital.

But on the upswing, Stargate is on tonite and I'm excited... Its my calm zone and couldnt have come back on at a better time. Im seriously thinking of skipping out of shit on friday coming at RT to hangout upstairs and watch it even though Ill be taping it with the DVDR. I know, Im a nerd.

So tomorrow is last minute shopping, making hair appointments for Aud and I, getting the loose ends tied up and generally just freaking out. Nervous? fuck yeah.

ONE WEEK!

My sister is here in one week! Oh! Can you stand it!? Im so excited, and I still have a TON f shit to dobefore her and her hunny show up on the noon bound plane from Scotland. Then the real fun (and stress) begins.
We are almost finished with Deep Water, about 6k more and we should be done. Thats my task for today, bulk what we wrote last night, and get another part started. Im hoping that we will finish by friday. Well thats the plan anyway. I hate working under pressure, but Aud seems to thrive in it so... we compromise. Im just hoping we finish this one quickly, so in May we can finish Gifts to give to Kat for September release. thats looking at about another 45-50k added... so Im praying we do it in the month of may.
OOh and We now have Southpark Icons!

another Contract!

We Sold the Keepers of Twilight series! the first, The Soft Edge of Midnight is the first in the series and its out October 2007, with print to follow!!! who won the series? SIREN PUBLISHING, our new and awesome publisher! heres the cover:

We are soo excited to be part of the Siren Family! Im looking forward to this new venture so much!

We got Paired!

So I was looking at the Sugar and Sin page at Amazon last night and noticed something spectacular... We got paired!!! in less then three weeks we have sold enough on Amazon to get paired up with another book (which right now is one of Lauren Dane's books) and we really wanna say thank you! I know a lot of authors that have been out for ages on Amazon and haven't been paired yet so this is a big deal for us.

See this book is our baby... hell the series in general is our baby, and seeing it appreciated and recognized is really amazing especially when we were told it wouldn't sell. So thank you to those who have bought it and Thank you to those who are going to buy it. We cant do this alone and its you reading and buying that really makes it grand.

I have recently gotten a few IM's and emails about how much people loved the book, and i gotta say, its a major great feeling. Don't get me wrong, hearing my friends say they like it is awesome, but hearing from someone who has no clue what kinda person I am, telling me they tried the book on a whim from a recommendation from someone else, and loved it, are ravenous for more... I'm speechless.

Now its really all about promo and getting the name out there for us, and RT is going to be just the place to do it. With this new information, I'm more excited about RT, as i feel that all our efforts so far have been paying off. Its encouraging, and pushes me to do more to get more sales and work out... and its all thanks to you, the reader. so thank you.

On another up note, the Dragon Elemental series is doing great as well. We have hit #20 on the FW top erotica list and are sitting pretty at #1 on the FW MGP list. Im taking this as a major score for us, and i hope it will help push us to where we need to ultimately be for our great sales to continue, print. both series are doing good, and Sugar is doing fantastic so far in print... Im so hopeful its scary.

The countdown begins...

Audra will be here in two week come Tuesday. TWO WEEKS! i haven't seen my sister since last July so im SO excited! and i get to see my future brother-in-law as well, and to top it all off, we have RT as well. April rocks.
So Easter was normal, hell i did covers all day. Im packed, and theres few things to do before she flys in so things are going well, though i do need a haircut.
And did I mention that its damn cold in NY? not happy about that, I'm really looking forward to the warmer weather.. so Houston will be a welcome change.
OOh and we got the piccy of the bath mists!

They Are the Essence of Fallon, or sugar cookie scent (yes, to Astrid, Fallon smells like sugar cookies, hence the nickname...) and you can pick your own up at Body Confections.
And whats cool is that every label has a Swavorski Crystal in the center of the star. SO COOL. We will have a few at RT so if your cool, pop by and you might get one. Heh. They are limited but hey try your luck. (btw.. one will be in the Stella and Audra gift Basket.)

apparently the eternal debate.

Well it seems some authors are getting chastised for their heroes screwing other chicks during the course of the book. All i can say to that is been there, done that. The Eververse series was rejected for that very reason from pretty much ALL the big e pubs (and TOR) and yet, the damn book has sold over 100 copies in print in the past three weeks from Amazon, and its gotten some amazing reader reviews as well.
I think thats pretty damn good for a book one e pub said "had a hastily thrown together world, Characters that had no depth and a hero who's sexual exploits will turn the reader off. Good luck ever getting it published."
Polyamourous pursuits are fine with me. And to our own credit, Fallon's sexual adventures prove to identify him as a person, and his personality, and helps him make a decision later on in the book for the benefit of all parties. Hes not just screwing for screwing's sake really, theres a bigger scope to the story.
Im not trying to justify what he does, he does that very well on his own, only explain to those out there still locked in the "one guy, one girl romance" that things are changing. the amount of people in RL that have only been with one person is in the minority, and aud and I like to think we write true to life. lets not forget, Fallon, along with Feyd, Arcady, Cash and the rest of the guys (and girls for that matter) are residents of a sub-society, a culture that runs on sex, blood and money more so then regular human existence.
One guy, One girl is outdated and more in the realm of fantasy then you know. (right, like that millionare art gallery owner with the cocky attitude didnt have an orgy a la American Psycho style the night before he met his heroine? Show me that, it helps to give me a feel for the REAL character, because no one is as good and pious as they make them in literature.)
And another thing, If you can handle it in your TV and your movies, why not your books as well? I mean I know the general pulp reading public can handle it (hello... Anita Blake anyone?) but why are they getting so starchy about e book? Aren't we supposed to be paving the way for the new literature? Why is it people can handle threesomes, orgies and 5 ways, but hen the Hero gets down before getting down with the heroine people's panties get in a twist? I mean come on, when that happens in a book i take it that the hero is a very sexual person, and that when he gets his heroine (insert you favorite genre here) hes either gotta quell that need and fire to get past her virginal defenses, or square with the fact that the chick was probably just as big a ho as he was before they got together... honestly no man that LOOKS like these heroes would be saving it for their true love... (unless they are batting for the other team, but im not getting into that.) So come on people.. be realistic.

OK So if you enjoyed my rant, and are curious about Sugar and Sin and seeing why the publishers were wrong, pop by Amazon and pick it up. Then if you hated it, leave us a review, and if you loved it, leave us a review. Either way, i prove a point.

good news today

So Sugar and Sin got yet another amazing review! this time it was the Awesome Jo at Joyfully Reviewed! heres what she had to say:

Sugar and Sin is a dark fantasy romance with some very, very erotic scenes that focuses on Astrid and Fallon. I found that theirs was a true love story although the strong member of the couple would switch back and forth as it went along. I believe that many different genre readers will love Sugar and Sin and the evolving Eververse.

you can read the rest of the review HERE

Also.. the wicked sweet Tammie at Night Owl Reviews has reviewed Sugar and Sin as well... HERE

This is not your typical fluffy romance. The Eververse is not a nice place and you should be prepared for many rocky relationships. The main characters of Sugar and Sin are Astrid and Fallon, but you will be invited to learn about many of the supporting characters. Both Astrid and Fallon have many wonderful and troubled friends. I hope to see more books about them.


And we have an interview posted there as well!

Readers Choice Nomination

WOO HOO! we have a RC nomination from E CATA SENSUAL for Sugar and Sin!!! damn we are happy. theres a lot of nominees, but either way im excited cuz E cata is a reputable and awesome site.

I got our Cover for Sugar and Sin!

WOO HOO! its fantastic! Im soo excited! its all happening!

updates

We finished Of Crimson and Collars last night and i sent it off to Submissions at Phaze this morning. it ended up being 26,500 words, and im pretty happy with how it turned out.

to your left is the cover i had did for the book, and if Phaze contracts it, then im going to ask to use the cover. I love it, and it really is a great representation of the story without giveing too much away.

So Audra and I are hard at work on our Frost submission for Phaze, the working title London for the Holidays And it features Malcolm Frost from the Djinn books and a Conglacio concubine (thats a ice demon to those who dont know) named Thisbe Winters... Yep.. its the only book Mal is going to have of his own so i think you guys will enjoy it..

On another note, our story, The Sleeping, is a free read with All Romance Ebooks and you can check it out on their newsletter for 2.2.07 at their website, allromanceebooks.com

And on a better note, our Dragon book, Fire in his Eyes comes out March 17th and is getting amazing reviews so far! Im looking forward to seeing what readers have to say!

Ok back to work.

New cover for Bargain by Starlight

So we now have BBS back in our possession, and it couldnt have come at a better time. With Silk and Steel coming in may we have decided to re release the book, along with its companion, Innocent Twilight as a free read e book with Silk and Steel. And i think when Silk and Steel goes print, both stories will be part of it., so thats a great deal as well.

Isnt it pretty? I think its exactly what the book needed. so be on the lookout for the books. Ill be posting Innocent Twilight's cover i a day or so.

and i shall rule the world with a Gwin by my side...

apparently someone too me seriously with my Bribery post, yep you know who you are... lol, and here he sits, next to my lap top in all his octopus glory. hes been feeding me ideas of world domination, and been telling me how best to keep my treasure hoard safe... If i had a treasure hoard... though hes resigned himself to finding some for me....

so i dont have to do it myself. heh.

We finished our Phaze Fantasies submission and sent it to Phaze this morning. We are pretty pleased with it and its one less thing on our plate to do. I'm hoping this week to get another off to the pubby as well. i love when we are prolific... It always feels good to get back to work and get stuff done.

back to work.. the gwin has some great ideas about ruling the world...

Reviews.. and why i love them.

See, i'm the kinda person that doesn't have issues with reviewers. Reviews are opinions made by people, and good or bad, they are going to make you learn from your craft. Personally, i don't mind bad reviews(and we have gotten them) but i love god ones.

And i LOVE seeing that Sugar and Sin is getting such great reviews. And the reason why i love it is because we had sent it to so many publishers that told us numerous things (the worst being that the characters were uninteresting, unoriginal and the story line sucked) and that they were going to pass on it. We haven't gotten under a 3 (and that was from a person that didn't understand then scope of the book really), but most of the reviews are a 4.5 and above. The book was featured in the Fictionwise newsletter and has a new merchandising plan with bath products, candles, clothing and jewelry.

The series is a major step for us, in the literary world as well as the marketing and merchandising world and i just feel like its been good for us. I mean yes, we got oodles of rejections for the series, but in the end, we got so much more. Sure its taking a LOT of self promotions on our part, but how many book series' have a candle line and a bath products line thats not NY? it makes me hopeful, that we have the drive and the appeal to get ourselves to NY some day.

The bribing shall continue!

I found YET another toy i want.... wanna see?

its a Gwin. its a penguin they decorate, and they hoard treasure.... I want one. Hell i want ALL the gwin armies! So whos ready to get free books for a gwin? BUY ME GWINS!!!!

Passion Personified...

Ladies... Meet Char.

Yep, this is our scrumptious Fire dragon Char, Alcyone's love and the hero from our First dragon elementals book, Fire in His Eyes. The book drops March 17th 2007... Who wants a piece of this sexy dragon?

Surrender in Moonlight is a Recommended Read!

Surrender in Moonlight lets us explore a harder edge to one of the residents of the Knossos West nest. Reece is the bad boy and likes his sex on the dirty side but doesn’t want a mate; Carmen is rouge by her choice that finds she can have freedom and still love nest life and a mate. Reece and Carmen discover together that you don’t have to be the Smith’s to have a wonderful love and fulfilling life by doing it their own way. I have to say first off that I was sucked in right from the beginning. Surrender in Moonlight is rougher in language and actions than the first story in this series but it matched the characters perfectly. I absolutely loved that Carmen and Reece surrendered to their love but did it their own way and those around them just had to deal. The scenes where Reece learns exactly the type of snake Carmen is and how they handled was an instant favorite.

Surrender in Moonlight is a must read pure and simple. The Price sister’s have developed not only a storyline surrounding a new Were species but also in that they are making their own rules. I am already waiting impatiently for the next book in this series. For me not only is this book a must read but it’s a Joyfully Recommended Read.

Glamour gets fantastic reviews!

Glamour

Book 2 of the Djinn/ Duvall series

By Stella and Audra Price

Published by Phaze

OUT NOW

Janey Duvall, newly bound consort to the Djinn Marsh, is having a
few minor problems with the delivery of a contract, namely, the
assassin is refusing to finish the job. There’s no reason why the
Mark should still be alive, not with one of her best on the job.
Knowing this is not normal behavior, she decides that going to Beijing,
the city the hit is supposed to take place, is the best course of
action. Convincing her consort however might prove to be a tad more
tedious then she first anticipated.

Marsh is intrigued by the idea, having a few of his own that
involve Janey, a corset and an auction, and agrees to go, even calling
in his marker from his most recent job of taming the fiery woman that
became his consort to help with the investigation.

After hearing of the situation from Marsh, Sean Taylor, exiled
prince and the demon solely responsible for getting the Djinn and the
assassin together, sends in Malcom Frost, his second in command, to
help or hinder the investigation, whichever is more profitable.

The Second book in the Djinn/Duvall series, Glamour uses wild
Locales and even wilder situations to get one very important thing
across… Love doesn’t always have to be sweet.

Reviews:

There are a lot of lewd overtones to keep the sexual tension
throughout the book.  The story is well-written and satisfactory in its
pacing.  All in all, it’s a different and interesting narrative.

4 stars,Ginny Kon,
JERR

The Price sisters once again prove that a good story does not
have to have all “good” people in them in order to be enjoyed.
Their stories give our inner badness a temporary fix so that for once
we can rejoice because the “bad” guys took no names yet kicked
serious butt! 

Recommended Read, Suzette, RoRR Reviews

Stella and Audra Price here again demonstrate their ineffable talent for twisting disparate
elements of the paranormal into all-new shapes and then creating a
fascinating new bouquet with them. If the Djinn vs. vampire vs.
assassin consort vs. Royal demon vs. suspenseful plot doesn't catch you
{as it surely will}, then the erotic romance between Djinn Marsh and
the lovely but willful assassin leader Janey, whose dying wish made her
his consort, will enflame you and keep you reading into the night. Glamour is another top-notch entry from the prolific pens of Stella and Audra Price, which will keep any reader racing back for more.

No feedback makes homer something something....

I have noticed something i consider very odd. In all the books we have out we have yet to get any sort of feedback. I mean good, or bad, we havent recieved any from anyone that has read our work aside from the reviewers. Im starting to wonder if anyone actually HAS read our books. I mean we have two yahoo groups, and whilethey are quite populated, not one person talks. The sound of crickets is most defening and im starting to wonder why people join groups if they are just going to put it on no mail aand not talk at all. This is very bizzare to me. I mean i know people talk and speculate on literature, hell i do it myself. Is our work that boring that people are just writing it off? Is it that its not intresting enough that the stories we write arent worthy to ask questions of? Or am i just crazy?

I mean if people join your group, they must have read your work right? Im just baffled. Imean even if they didnt enjoy it, its worth talking about.

just Bizzare....

New year... and soon a new compy.

Well the back light on my lappy blew. Im supposing itsmy fault for always havning it on. So we ordered mea new onw from Tiger direct. It should be here in a fewdays. Whats good anout that is that Ill be able to change the layout on this here bloggy to match the new webby. All snakes and apples and original sin.... Yeah we figured we might as well embrace our Snake-i-ness...

We have our release dates for our books this year, and that means aud and i have a shit load of work to do, im just thanking the powers that be that most of them are atleast halfway finished. Just proves we have a lot to do and less time to do it in.

We have been getting some fantastic reviews though, Surrender, Sugar and Glamour are all doing rahter well... I just hope the people that have read it enjoy it.

OOh and we have a new messageboard!

http://wildeververse.iforumer.com and i gotta say it going to be a lot of fun once things get cracking there.

So this month its Finishing Of Crimson and Collars and Lady Luck for Phaze, as well as Edits for Fire in His Eyes.

So thats a good thing. Im looking forward to getting the Dragons out to the world, they seem to be getting pretty good responses when we do chats. Im hoping Marsh will see us with a new best seller.

Ok back to plotting and outlining for Dragons 3 and 4...

Glamour is Live!

Thats right... end your year... or start your new year.. RIGHT! Bring home a Djinn for your naughty Pleasure!

Tagged: Five things about Me...

So ms. Bianca D'Arc has tagged me for thid fun little 5 things about me... So here it goes:

1. I spent 5 years in the Music Industry as a tour manager. Make no mistake people, i wasnt a Groupie, i actually worked for a living, and one of my duties was actually GETTING groupies to the bands.. well atleast all mine with of legal age.

2. I went to college for Industrial Design, but had a double major in Special Effects and English, minor in Puppetry. I wanted to work for Henson's creature shop.

3. I have a insane memory for useless knowledge. I know just about all there is to know from Time life books, Starwars, LOTR and can quote obscure movie quotes.

4. Im from a very musical family. My grandpa is some big deal singer in the Latin community, the voice of big latin bands like the Joe Cuba Band, the Tito Puente Band (50-56) and others. Hes been showcased in about 4 books and was recently honored at MSG.

5. I won tix to woodstock 94 on a radio station here in NY. I was 16...

OK so im pretty boring... but Im sure Skylar Sinclair and Jacquelyn Frank will be more intresting....

Colin Farrell

Yum. I miss drake. we need to get back to him so i can drool.

New Review for Sugar and Sin

Sheryl from E-Cata reviews Gave Sugar and Sin 4.5 stars! heres what she had to say:

As authors Stella and Audra Price have written a fabulous beginning to their Eververse series. Their characters tempt, tease and enthrall, and if that doesn’t work they’ll just kidnap you and take you along for the ride anyway. I can’t wait for to read what else will happen in the rest of this series because you know it will only get better and better.

You can read the rest of her extremely fantastic review HERE

Audra and I are so excited that she actually got our book! Such a great and insiteful review! its just wonderful!

Progress

Even with Audra's computers going to shit we have managed to still put another 4k on Gifts. Im attribiuting it to Marsh and Janeys Stubbornness, When they start a book, they need to finish it. Its one of their finer quailties. So thats a good thing.

We also subbed out a partial recently, im sitting here fingers crossed that we get it, as well as another sub we have out. Always subbing is us.

On the homefront, my hunny just bought a new car. Its the Honda Fit and he got it in white. Im sooo Excited cuz it means i can drive a new car. tee hee... heh and apparently a lamacan fit in the thing. messed up right?

So happy christmas to him. lol.

We have one more day of holiday shopping coming. and then we are DONE! And Audra and I are hoping to get some morework done this week. Oh and i became partners with a good friend in a business venture. More on that as it develops.

A double shot of Coffee Time Romance

First up.... We got reviewed for Blood on the Harvest Moon:

4 CUPS by Cherokee:

Blood on the Harvest is ingeniously written and hooks the reader from the first page. The character of Danica, not to mention the mystery behind the oak tree, intrigued me. Ethan’s alluring persona comes off with such magnitude; it glues the reader to the story. Stella and Audra Price kept this reader guessing until the end with the outcome of Danica and her man of mystery. I enjoyed the atmosphere that the story offered and felt almost bewitched by the setting in this tantalizing read.

Read the full review HERE

Second... for Sugar and Sin:

3 CUPS by Maura:

There is an awful lot going on in this book and it took me a little while to sort it all out. I really began to enjoy the story after that. Astrid is a great character, but a little too tolerant of Fallon’s extracurricular activities for my taste. Ashlynn is likable, if a little simple. Watching Feyd fall for her was fun. The other demons and supernatural creatures, like Morrison and Alcyone, were also well developed. The story does not end here and I will definitely be reading the next one.

Read the full review HERE

Thanks for reviewing us ladies!

Reviews, awards and a movie to top them all

I just got some cool info today. Audra was named Fallen Angel Reviews' AUTHOR OF THE MONTH!

Needless to say we are both sooo excited! i mean its a win for the team you know? that makes two awards this month, One from Love Romances and More as their rising stars, and one from FAR.. WOO HOO!

And we also found out that Blood on the Harvest Moon got another review... 4 ANGELS!!! heres what Tracy has to say about it:

Stella and Audra Price deliver an intriguing short story with a surprise ending. Blood on the Harvest Moon is sure to make you ponder what you would do in Danica’s situation. I felt for the character and wonder how she’s doing. The Prices gave me the heebie jeebies and in my opinion that’s a sign of great writing.

You can read the rest of the Review here

Ooh so today has been good for me... and for aud. ooh and di i tell you all we started a new Satyr book? its hopping i tell you... those Satyrs... evil nasty sexy things.. lol... So ill keep you updated on that. The name of the book is Of Crimson and Collars and it takes place at the Belevedere Castle in NYC's central park. Ill be posting more as we get on with it.

So ill leave you with Stella's pick for top romance Movie of all time: Fall.

Two people from completely different worlds meet by chance, thrown together as if by fate. Their attraction is immediately obvious and overwhelming. He is attracted to her beauty (she is a supermodel) and good humor; she is seduced by his charisma and honesty. With his gifts of poetry and tenderness, he opens her heart to the possibility of true love. But it takes a lot of courage to make a commitment. Is she truly in love with him? And even if she is, will she able to leave the cosmopolitan, superficial lifestyle to be with him?

Why this movie? O-M-G. first off, the guy, Michael is a writer by trade but would rather enjoy driving a cab (and you find out why later in the movie) and he falls in love with this woman, Sarah, who is a rather sought after super model. they start an affair while her husband (who happends to be hottie Rudolph Martin)is away in Europe.Trashy right? WRONG. its a beautiful story, and with Michael Sarah can just be a person, not a name or a gimick. Shes normal and they do normal things. But what gets me is the letters the "Fax Fairy" sends her. Michael faxes her love letters after certain encounters. they are beautiful and soulful and i swaer to you if a man ever wrote like that to me i would be his. and the end? OMG i cried... and i still cry every time i see it.
Ooh, and the sex scenes in it are pretty hot too.... You NEED to buy this movie. I SHIT YOU NOT!

Released: Nov 25th 2006
Print Release: February 2007
Voo Doo Moon line
Mardi Gras Publishing


What would you give for a second chance? Astrid, a witch, has often wondered what would happen if her lover, Fallon, a teleport demon, came back to her. After a year apart it seems fate will bring them together once more, and their relationship is going to be tested with a new threat to their lives and the lives of their friends. A reckoning is coming, and its time to choose sides. When the exiled demon prince Cassiel gives Astrid an offer she can’t refuse, will her relationship with Fallon pay the price?

The first book in the Eververse series, Sugar and Sin introduces you to a decadent world close to our own where supernatural races coexist with humanity and quietly influence the world around them. Eververse is a world rich with demons, witches, fey, vampires, assassins, and magic.
Eververse is where fantasies come true, good doesn’t always triumph over evil, battles for supremacy are won and lost, and almost anything is possible.


"The pairing of Stella and Audra Price is an Author team whose dual voice is powerfully dark -
and heatedly delicious!"
-Jannalee Ruschhaupt


“Eververse. My kind of heroes, my kind of demons, my kind of steam. The Price sisters have created my kind of fantasy.”
-Luna Carrol-Erotic Author

Two amazing reviews and updates!

We got some fantastic reviews today from the wonderful ladies at Kwips and Kritiques!

Blood on the harvest moon


And this is what Anne has to say about it:

Stella and Audra Price have outdone themselves with this phenomenal tale! BLOOD ON THE HARVEST MOON hearkens back to the traditional horror and dark fantasy tales that were built on suspense and the careful crafting of atmosphere to build up to a shocking climax. The first person perspective enhances the ominous atmosphere while building up to the startling but ever-so-appropriate ending. BLOOD ON A HARVEST MOON is easily recommended for fans of dark fantasy!

And we got another! For Surrender in Moonlight: 4.5 klovers!
Review by Anne:
Stella and Audra continue to push the boundaries with each new book they write and this book is no exception. However, readers looking for an edgy but sexy book will enjoy Surrender In Moonlight. Kudos to Stella and Audra Price for their daring approach to the shape shifter genre!

Surender in Moonlight... its about that time... Contest? why sure!

So with the impending release of Surender in Moonlight, Audra and I are giving away a pewter snake bookmark. its one of those that hook and hanf into your book, and I love it.

So what do you have to do to win it(along with some other goodies)? Simple....

Post here in a comment. Just answer a question, opinion of course, and your entered. Simple eh? So you want the question dont you? Easy enough....

How do you feel about the Shifter world being given an overhaul? I mean, with all the new types of weres coming out, do you feel they all work, or do you feel that its writers trying to hard to do something different? are you intrigued enough to buy the new shifters and if and when you do, do you find that they are done well? How do you feel about Reptile shifters in general? Theres a sliht buzz around that its the next big thing (Lizards,cold blooded creatures and of course,snakes) do you think the reading world is ready for that?

Well thats it. Well pick a winner at random November 10th to get a free download of Surender and the goodies! Thanks so much for entering!

Ho Hum... hanging out in the doldrums...

So i got some new promo materials today, and i can say im not that happy about it. Eh. same old same old at this point. though i dont know why i bother with all the goodies, i wont be doing a contest for a very long time as it is. eh. Well see.

So we are supposed to start work on Bitter Kiss again today... something to take my mind off the monotony is exactly what i need. Maybe im just Bitter today. I did finish the cover for Silk and Steel and for Beyond Moonlight... so that puts a spark of a smile on my face. but not much of one.

and its a blustery day today as well. but at least its not freezing out. ugh. And im just over a lot of things right now... really... sometimes you shouldnt get out of bed in the morning...

Beyond the Vision of Dreams gets 4 angels!

So we got our review from FAR for Beyond. Lisa gave us 4 ANGELS!

Beyond the Visions of Dreams is an interesting story about a unique couple. Stella and Audra Price’s invention of the were-snakes, used in this story, gives an otherwise regular love story a magical and interesting edge. Beyond the Visions of Dreams not only has very hot sex scenes and emotions but also is well written and quite easy to read. I enjoyed following Remy and Chrissy as they build their relationship and lives together. I found Beyond the Visions of Dreams to be a wonderful short story that kept me entertained from beginning to end.

Stella

Sugar edits...

Done... well the first round. Im very happy with what our editor has suggested, and even more grateful she did her job and actually EDITED. some people out there just dont even bother.

And Bitter Kiss is going well too. We are in the high 20's with it and going strong. Its not going as fast as the other fallen book, but its still trucking and i am happy to say no pitfalls yet.

And i set up a new webby. Yep Stella finally learned how to do a website. While its very elementary, im hoping out subdomains work out better to help any fans we have of our series.. So fingers crossed. lol.

So its back to work on some Fallen, and im developing a new authors series or two for some of my publishers, so it should be a very good time once i get all the kinks worked out. Looking forward to seeing some In houses at a few of them. Not to mention the crazy series Skylar and I are working on... we just need one more author to make the list complete and then....

Stella

NEW!

So as you can see i have uploaded a new template for the bloggy. I like it. I love it actually. I have uploaded a new webby and myspace too to match. Yeah I'm excited. October is going well.

So we have about 25k on the second fallen book, currently titled A Bitter Kiss of Chaos, and i am enjoying it. Heres to hoping the series pans out. Im enjoying it, and it seems our beta's have been enjoying the first book too. that makes me happy. Like we did something right.

OOh and im excited cuz we are on the website for the RT convention as attending authors. thats just cool you know? I mean seeing our names for the first time somwhere so cool. Im so looking forward to RT this coming year. With Audra in the states for two weeks im actually going to get to hangout with my sister for a while, along with hanging out at RT with her. And i get to meet my soon to be Brother in law Finally. April is going to be a lot of fun, and im looking forward to it more then the holidays.

So back to work. Im sure ill have more fun things to say soon...

Moonlight (November 3rd), Sugar and Sin (November 25th) and Glamour
(December 31st)  as well as giving away a copy of our Halloween

So come and join up for some fun and frolic, as well as other authors
that writes about the true things that go bump and make you moan in the
night! Looking forward to seeing everyone there!

Mythology... what If...

Mythology is a subjective thing i think. I mean with this new series we are using snippets of tons of mythologies, Sumerian, Catholic, Jewish, Druidic, celtic... and its seems to work so far. Not to mention we have the real sci fi fantasy mythologies of the elder gods and the prophecies of Crowley and Nuit... this is truly eclectic. I mean its contemporary in setting, though its gott so much old world wrath of god shit in it im not sure if it could be considered sacrilege. Not that it would matter to me one way or another,its just fiction, but you have to wonder about those writers that work with the devine.

As one of those, i have to say i never thought it was possible. In the first book we tackle some tough themes and ideas about why the Fallen really fell, not just what was taught us in Sunday school. Now wrap your head around this...

So many stories deal with the balance. The balance between good and evil and light and dark. Fallen Angels maybe didnt fall because they were evil, maybe they had a difference of opinion with the High and Mighty. Maybe when they fell they were twisted slightly so that evil would come more natural to them and the other Angels would have a reason to snub them. Maybe they were just people who couldnt take being so above it all. At least thats how we write them. But what if Lucifer wasnt wrong, merely had a different way of looking at things. What if the stories are right, and hes been here since the beginning of the reign of the Pantheon, while those on High just have better PR? This is shit we are dealing with in this book series, and my sister being Catholic and myself raised Pagan, it forms a lot of questions to both of us.

This book, the second in the series has to deal with the Christianity pantheon and the fact that the darker forces in that pantheon have to save the world because those on High wont be sullied. What if that was true? i mean what if when it came down to it, we had the darker forces to thank for the nixing of armeggedon? could the world really deal with that? I mean this pantheon has been ruling the majority of the world (And in our books it means the three major religions... Christianity, Judaism and Islam)for longer then the rest (the greek pantheon, the celtic, the Norse.. ect...) and they have to do this themselves? What if you were on the wrong side? when the chips fell, what if?

Ok now i know im going to get some hate mail for this one... but... i guess so be it..

and the writing has begun... again...

Well we thought that we would hvae a plan. get through the edits for the books we have waiting for release, promo for the releases and start in November back on the fallen series.

NOT. GOING. TO. HAPPEN.

Nope. we started back on the fallen yesterday and already have a little over 10k and i gotta say it packs a punch so far. New characters showing up, a solid storyline and some very surly conversation.... i gotta say im loving this.

So we are still trying to make heads or tails of what we are going to do with this series, but i have high hopes. Its rather unique, and the characters... hell we though the Eververse characters where chatty, these guys are down right insane when it comes to getting their stories out. Im so loving this....

Sugar's New Cover...

Isnt it beautiful? Well With some help from the wonderful Skylar Sinclair, i have fashioned this all on my own. Isnt that something? Im very happy with it and it will be gracing the ebook and PRINT cover.. OMG ill be a published Author and artist... WOW.

Finished... well sort of..

Soft Edge is now "Finished". At 96,315 and still needing about 5-7k in bulking this is going to be our longest book ever to date. Im happy with what we have, but i know it can be better, which is why our awesome beta readers have been inlisted to help us figure it out. i would hate to get it to over kill you know?

Book two is already in the works, can you believe it? Sam, our perfect Anti-hero is back in this one, and i think hell be in all of them, or at least to book three. Im so excited about this... Still we dont know where to send it. Kensington is a possibility, as is Samhain(i know right?), EC and New Concepts. All of them will do the book and the series right i think.

honestly to have three novel series out will be a dream come true. Im dying right now, even getting this chance at all. Its such a wild time.

So friday is fun day in jersey, and saturday too. Lots of awesome authors will be at the signing on saturday so im looking forward to expanding my signed book collection. But Friday is going to be a lot of fun i think, so looking forward to it...

CURSIVE and Ideas..

So i went with Joe and Andy, the Cheat and his two little friends to see CURSIVE last night in NYC. Needless to say it was a wonderful and powerful show... And Ooh i got to see Men Women and Childern too... LOVE THEM.

Anyways we walked around the city a while and i got tired (DUH) but i alwso got a slew of ideas for new short stories... hehe... And damn if they werent powerful ideas.

So for those of you interested, our second snake book has been pushed back.. which sucks but since we havent gotten edits yet i suppose thats ok. Still my nerves are wracked. And Friday is the NJRWA hangout with Miss Bianca.. so that should be fun.. i need a night out away from the boys. Im looking forward to it. Ooh not to mention i got TONS of goodies for the signing day... All you awesome authors who send me stuff to fill the bags... thanks so much. they are full to brimming and i got extras of a lot of things. RWA wont know what hit them. LOL.

As for an update with Soft Edge... Well we are at 85k and stopped. We had a bad week for writing and this weekend wasnt much better. And audra is Still MIA... poo. Im just hoping we get it finished by this friday, at least ill feel accomplished.

See i have issues leaving work unfinished and going out and doing stuff. Call it my work ethic maybe, or my insanity, but if a story is not done i cant rest till it is. I cant hangout till it is. Like all night last night i was having visions of things for the SECOND fallen book.. it was insanity. Once the book is done i can let the stress level go down a couple notches i think. Lord knows i need it.

So its back to work and hopefully Audra will pop her ass on here soon and we can get down to Casis.

Stel

Sept. 30th there will be Blood on the Harvest Moon....

In the Deep South Danica Banks is teased by the guy in the large oak tree. Seeing him from an early age she is fascinated with him but heeds her gram’s advice about staying away from the tree. One night things change, and her mystery man leaves his perch on the tree… and that’s when things get interesting.

When her relationship with her mystery man takes a turn into the sinister realm and she makes a choice that could forever change her destiny and destroy her life, will she regret what she’s done in the name of what she thinks is love?

This is NOT a love Story.

The first in the sweetly sinister new short story series from Stella and Audra Price. Your couriosity is killing know isnt it? take a chance. its short, its sinister and it will leave you with that delicious errie feeling... like this could be happening somewhere... right now...

Forbidden Publications



November:

25th: Sugar and Sin (Eververse book 1)

Mardi Gras Publshing



27th: Glamour (Djinn Series Book 2)

PHAZE



And January will bring forth the Dragons i believe... which is SOOO
excited about! So thats the schedule... and i hope that helps the
fans...

This damn book will not end....

So we are STILL working on Soft Edge. its already at 79k and we dont have an end in sight in 5k... maybe around 10-12k amd there im being generous. Then we have bulking to do... and belive me it really needs it. So Spetember and a 60k book for us is possible but it seems this one has plans of its own.

Its struggling right now, in territory we didnt think to go into in the begining, but im not really complaining. Its more that im so surprised how this book evolved. At first we were tinking it was only going to be 30k, and we were going to push it to double it. then it went to 35k in a week. then we doubled that and then some in the next 6 days... And now, even with the insane pitfalls (Sickness, time constraints and Audras compy bursting into flames) we have still managed to make it almost to 80k and its not even the 25th yet. So maybe the actual meat of the book will be done by october 1st. we will see.

Either way its one wild ride. I love these characters. they are almost as close to me as the Eververse characters... which is strange because i dont know any of them very well...

More as it develops...

Help Save Stargate!

So this time Im crusading against the dreaded ECW in favor of Stargate! Dont let them take Stargate off the air! Theres a petition going around

http://www.petitiononline.com/helpSG1/?

http://www.myspace.com/stargatecommandcenter

New Cover

New cover for the second weresnake book... Surrender in Moonlight. heres the blurb:

Reece Evans is the nest bad boy and Anaconda and is NOT looking for a mate, but he is looking for a wild ride. When he goes to Dry Ice one night he meets Carmen, a viper and a rogue, and the attraction is beyond hot. When she steals his motorcycle from under his nose and then calls him to bail her out, Reece sees his opportunity for a very satisfying tryst still within his grasp. He agrees, on the condition that she stay with him a month, and be his sexy plaything. Little does he know he’s sealed his fate, Carmen is exactly the snake he never knew he couldn’t live without.

Out Oct. 6th with Forbidden Publications.

Soft Edge...

Yeah this book is really cooking! im so excited that its going so well, i mean this story is really rocking its way out. Last night we bangged out 7k in a few hours and are both itching to get some more work done.

So we have decided to pick 5 people to beta this story, since we consider this one of our best, its good to have some feedback on it. So we will pick those people soon enough i think. they way its going this book will be finished in a week or so. YAY! rah rah sis boom bah!

Back to work.

words... words...

i write this now in the dark at 606am. why am i writing in the dark and up at the ass crack of dawn you ask? well because i have to go to work in an hour, and Nybras, our most recent bad guy, wont shut up. Poo on that. On the upscare we finished the week with 37,400 words and im very pleased. If we keep this up well have the book finished well before october. Maybe we should have done NaNo? heheh.

So the next week is going to be rife with Unicorns and Fallen angles again, and hopefully the cover and edits to our snake book. Im wait with baited breath on that cover.

So its off to work for me, after Yahoo quits twisting my non existant balls.

S

New Stories

Well Aud and I are hip deep in the new book, i swear in 3 days to do 20k in insanity, but its going really well. Its the Unicorn book, but it involves some of the Fallen, and i think this is going to be a wonderful gateway book for the Fallen Series. Also, Aud and i, to be authentic, have used all Devil names from the hiarachy of hell, so i guess if we get a late night visit from some random person we know who it will be. So this story showcases Lucifer (or Big S), Sammael, Azel(As a woman), Nybras and a made up dutchess of hell, Xainatell. then of course the Unicorns are Illori and Karsten. Its been a lot of fun so far and im really excited its going to quickly, though i am going to have to change the blurb for it, it is strying further into different territory, which neither of us mind so much, after all we are telling their story.

So its a good thing i think, though im not sure where this one is getting submitted to, lord knows we have options. Im hoping for at least 60k on this book, and hoping the characters agree, if we got anything more then 60 out of this one i will be tickled pink, cuz that makes it a novel, and the only other novel we have going aside from the Eververse seires is the Dragon series(which BTW, book one is finished and at the publisher. Im soooo excited!)

So its back off to to work on the fallen and the Unicorns, we are now trying for 5k a day at the least so we will see...

COVERS!

So covers are on the way apparently. We have 4 more covers that need doing, Sugar and Sin, Fire in His Eyes, Glamour and Surrender in Moonlight.

We did get our cover for Blood on the Harvest Moon... and the concensus is that it kicks ass. I agree. Looking forward to gett the others... Actually im FIENDING for new covers... Myspace is looking pretty plain...

Stella

Romantic Times Recognition

So we just heard that we are #20 on the list of 25 most unusual paranormal creatures list in Romantic Times' October 2006 issue!!! Im freaked out. I mean someone recognized our WERESNAKES! Now i had heard about this, and was looking forward to it, but i never thought we would be mentioned in an national magazine, let alone be in any place other then last. And no, thats not me trying to play our shit down, its me thinking that we have been around for a little over 8 months, and we placed higher then authors that are in print with NY houses. Well needless to say I'm damn graetful that we got placed, and even more happy that we were placed where we were.

So A toast to us!

Go pick up the ocotboer issue of RT and see for yourself... Im giddy as hell!

Ok who is a candle Slut!?

The ASTRID CANDLE!

OMG isnt it awsome! its exactly what we pictured! so Candle Artist JFay is a goddess... and we love her! these candles are going to be for sale through her webby and our own webby through paypal starting in September!

This is the first in a series of 9 books and 9 candles... and we are psyched!

We sold again...

So this time its a Short story to the MGP scaremare series... its called Bloog on the Harvest Moon.

In the Deep South Danica Banks is teased by the guy in the large oak tree. Seeing him from an early age she is fascinated with him but heeds her gram’s advice about staying away from the tree. One night things change, and her mystery man leaves his perch on the tree… and that’s when things get interesting.

When her relationship with her mystery man takes a turn into the sinister realm and she makes a choice that could forever change her destiny and destroy her life, will she regret what she’s done in the name of what she thinks is love?

its a very... unsettleing story, but then again what work of ours isnt?

so congrats are in order... heh...

Bargain got another review

HERE

Yeah 4 moons isnt too damn bad if you ask me thats for dang sure.

Stella

Eververse: The Candle Series

heh sounds ominous dosent it? Well we have struck a deal with studio 3B to do some candels inspired by the eververse books and im tickled. I mean its a uniwque and fantasitc promo idea and im glad we are getting the chance to do it.

So the first Book, Sugar and Sin, which will be out September 22nd, will be featring the Astrid Candle. It will be a swirl of blue and white with the planetary symbol for earth in black, imbedded in the candle. For those who dont know, the books heroine, Astrid, wears the planetary symbol for earth as a pendant around her neck.

the scent? Apple spice, in straight accordance with how her hero, Fallon, thinks she smells when he inhales the scent from her hair. Each candle will be either 3x4 or 4x4 and will be onsale at the online shop once the books come out. And did i mention youll be able to WIN one for each book? thats right... they are damn awsome candles... and you should check out her other work as well....

So we are completely tickled... and i can wait to get mine...

Stella

New Review! 4 cups from CTR!

this is what Kathy had to say about Beyond the Vision of Dreams: 4 cups!!!!

Ms. Stella and Ms. Audra Price have written a steamy story of hot sex and fated love between fantasy shape shifters. Chrissy easily accepts Remy’s dominance, intuitively recognizing her one true love; while Remy, with his carefree attitude, instinctively marks Chrissy in hopes of wooing her. They both fall easily into a preordained pattern of partners for life, the shared camaraderie evidenced by their instant closeness. I loved their easy way with each other, and the conclusion tops off an engaging read. It is definitely worth keeping.

We are so happy!

Two New Reviews! 5 Clovers Each!

So we got two new reviews! one for The Blessings of the Storm (out August 1st,Mardi Gras Publishing) and one for Beyond the Vision of Dreams (out now with Forbidden Publications)

You can check them out HERE and HERE

Ikea and the Beyond Effect.

Tomorrow i have agreed to go to the wonderful world of Ikea with Jojo. this i dread. Why? because its like a fucking time warp in there. what feels like 20 minutes is about 6 months of your life. it sucks your will to live, trys to playcate you with sweedish meatballs and sticky buns and cheap cool furniture, but really all its doing is stealing your life force. I swear.

Joe and i had went in for a Chair. 4 HOURS LATER we emerged, the sun was down and i was completely bewildered as to how i lost the afternoon. it was the dreaded IKEA monster. I tell you, i know how they can sell a snazzy couch for 150$. its made out of the souls of the unfortunates that never made it out. and they are seelling them at bargain price!

So help me. If you dont hear from me by 8pm on tuesday night, Send the millitia to the Paramus NJ IKEA and burn the place down. I might still be inside but id rather burn in a firey blaze then have my soul suched out and miss time. There are house i dont even remember... and ill never get that time back. So thats on the list now too...
Time ill never get back:
~the two hours from watchin house of 1000 corpses
~the 2 hours spent watching the forgotten
~the half hour(i swear that was all i could stand before my brain went numb and i started drooling) of Dumb and Dumber
~20 mins(that turned into 4 hours) in the Paramus Ikea

Im sure there are more, but damn it im almost missing a day already. where the fuck did the time go?

Back to work.. in so many ways...

Marsh and Janey have been sent to Phaze for consideration, and stupid me, i started yet another project. this time its a somewhat short story, and i got about 2k down in an hour last night it really flowed from me, but it needs bulking, what i have so far, and im hoping i wasnt under the influence too badly last night to right it off as drivle. We will have to see.

So Now, with audra coming for nationals on the 26th, we have just enough time to finish Arcady and Snow, which really only needs a fight scene and the epilogue, things that Audra already has partially finished. Marsh and janey ended up at 38, 391 words, and Arcady and Snow will probably be around 70k, seeing as right now its it 68... i think.

So the 26th-30th Audra will be here in the states, which rocks, and well be going to RWA nationals for ONE DAY ONLY. it sucks i know but we needed to get our asses there, and with family comitments, and audra's short stay, we are trying to fit it all in. Thank god we didnt register.

So when our fun time is finished (not couting the promo we have to do for Blessings with MGP) then its back to work full steam on current projects. What projects? Our dragons (that have apparently caught the intrested of the EIC at MGP), our Fallen Series (which is going to be mentally draining), our Ghosts (still trying to figure a direction on that Horror set up), Lady Luck (Jake and Nina need to get back in the saddle and get to being intresting again), and our Cursed objects submission. its going to be a very wild august.

I do have Dragons Book two, titled Deep water, about 1k, which is good cuz we had nothing, only the premise a short time ago. Book one, Fire in his Eyes, is going well, albiet slowly, but im hoping that changes after nationals...

And now we need to find another Siren. One of our own left for her own reasons, which sucks, though we wish her the best. So finding someone new we gel with is going to be a PITA.

off to work.

First review for Beyond the Vision of Dreams

4 Stars!!!!

Reviewed by Michelle Ellis © 2006
Genre: Dark Fantasy/Shapeshifter
Heat Index: Erotic/Extreme
Book Length: Mid-Category
Publisher: Forbidden Publications
Price: $3.99

Beyond the Vision of Dreams has an excellent premise. People who are snakes! I found this amazingly intriguing. Stella and Audra Price do have some good plot ideas up their sleeves.

From the first word I thought this was going to be a sleazy porn story, as the first paragraph describes a dream, with rather colourful language/imagery. Giving the book a chance, as it does indicate ‘Extreme’ in the heat index, I read on.

Remi Crane belongs to a ‘nest’ of snakes. Sexually frustrated, he had many dreams of mating. With sex predominant in his mind, his thoughts on his dilemma, he bumps into a woman in the foyer of the nest. Said woman, Chrissy Stanford, has come to live at The Compound (nest) and Remy knows he will have to administer restraint when she is around.

Chrissy meets the nest leader, Elise, who shows her round The Compound. I found the idea of humans changing into snakes quite unusual, though I will admit to not reading this type of premise before. The snakes in this nest have a ‘changing room’ where they change into snakes before going out to hunt. The whole mental image from this scene made me light up inside. I thought, ‘Well, how cool!’ Really did enjoy this part.

Reece, another snake at The Compound, for the brief moment he appears in the story, is an utter pig! I wanted to slap him at the very least, and kick him where it hurt at most!

With the mention of a carnival ride called ‘The Zipper’ I was instantly transported back in time to my childhood. This ride was THE scariest thing on earth to me. I went on it once and lost all my money when it spun upside down…ahem, back to the review…

So, not giving any more of the actual story away, I will say I enjoyed this shapeshifter story. It didn’t grip me as some tales do, but held my interest. I wasn’t bored, which is the main thing! Not one for the traditional HEA, this tale didn’t smack of ‘Oh bloody hell these two are going to end up together’ as you get that idea from the start. It’s more of a ‘I’m glad they did get together’ story.

Best part? The premise itself. Brilliant idea.

Awsome review for Wishes

So Joyfully Reviewed sent Phaze their review of WISHES... and its damn good. You can read it here...

Damn nice to see that today... and its nice to know our work isnt being misenturpreted... did i spell that right?

Stella

PS: Juts Saw Pirates... And im more then ever convinced that JD would be the most Screen Fallon ever... Now to make that damn Screenplay....

We have our main release date.

Sugar and Sin will be out (god willing theres no holdups) August 25th. Aud and i are freaking out, and it looks like the girls on the street teams are excited as well. Major step for us as this is the book that started us writing, and its finally going to be published.

This is going to be a pretty good summer. So, updates! We have narrowed it down for our author branding, there 5 slogans we like so, well keep you posted on that, still looking for the perfect icon though. Poo.Marsh and Janey will be done in a few days. I have it back in my possession, and Today, after work, MArsh is going to do it like it should be done. im hoping by tuesday well have our part finished and that Aud can look at it once more.
Our edits will be in in a week or so. It shouldnt be that bad grammar wize, we have two people look it in the past 7 months. OOh and the edits for Blessings, our straight mainstream paranormal is in. Im really surprised we actually pulled it off (though Cash is still threatening death and desertion if we try writing something that fluffy again... and hes right)
So now, with the book coming out...im hoping the Anthology will do better. After all, people want backstory dont they? And you can pick this awsome little ditty up at LULU.com, in either print or E book fashion. Its 9 stories from the Afterverse including The Sleeping, our short story with Pretty Scary. Youll meet some new characters in this book, and some that youll come to love soon enough. Interested? Pick it up HERE
the last but not least update is that Book two, Silk and Steel,(the tennitive name of course) will be to our Publisher by the projected date of July 21st. We are going to celebrate with a big excerpt party at Eververse, with a bunch of authors we know and love comming to give everyone a great time.(i hope... these things never work out for me so well see).
So on to todays musings...

Why the hell is HEA so damn important? Im sorry life isnt happily ever after and with so many cookie cutter books out there, whats the problem of being different? Well the problem is that it takes longer to get published. We have been guilty of changing things, mostly the end of a story, to fit the HEA mold. Well im happy to say we dont have to anymore. Granted some things might be depressing, but on the whole, i think our endings are pretty damn good. True some are going to have the HEA, cuz lets face it, some characters need it, but most arent, and the book isnt going to end on a down note, but a nutral one. its all a question of presentation i think, and i think that you can have a book that isnt HEA in the romance genre, and still do well with it, if its marketed correctly. For us, if a story is a HEA story, it will end with HEA. if its not, and its just a story, a damn good one, then its going to stay true to form.
So why the fuck is HEA so damn important as a reader? i dont like them much and think the cheese is inflated when i see them in a book that could have had a better ending if they werent forced into the mold of HEA. gimme something dark anyday...

Stella

Author Branding

Well it has come to our attention that we need to get branded. Which is very true, nothing like selling yourself as a comodity. The problem stems from audra and i just not being that damn creative. Using the old book idea is out, even though most of our books revolve around a spell dealer and grimorie seller. We need to decide on a genre, if thats even possible... and a logo. this is all becoming very confusing.

So i have no clue as to doing this. well thats not true. I have some clue, but christ if i can figure out the right thing for us. ugh. Any ideas?

The 4th

So its the 4th. we have a lot more written with Book two, which rocks, and i think it will end up at 70k, a bit more then we expected, but hey im not knocking it.

The sirens are starting a few contests for July, so well see what coolness ensues there.

The countdowns have started, Joes birthday, RWA...

So let it begin...
