New cover!

Aud and I got the email that GIFTS is going print June 16th. I'm SO excited. So excited that I redid the cover for the print book. Why? Because I thought we needed a more shelf friendly cover. Small press is a bitch and a half to have your work shelved, and Phaze is no exception. So Im trying to combat that so we get a fair shake on being available. So you wanna see?

Like it? I do. I'm very happy with it. I cant wait to hold it in my hands LOL. So here's hoping it interests sellers enough to buy it for the shelves. Ooh and you wanna see the cover wrap?

Yes Im very excited. Now we have to wait for it... but still It should be worth the wait. I believbe its going to be 280 pages, which rocks cuz its much bigger then Wishbound and people will be able to actually READ it. WOO HOO. So I will have it for the July signings.

And two weeks till the Spotty Dog event. So looking forward to this month of signings! I get to hangout with Tilly, and Cat and Bianca... its a good time when Im with those ladies!

Anywho, Im back to writing. Audra and I have to finish London for the Holidays!

Winners, Insights and Plans...

So the winner of my shag list post is :Candice: So please email me at stella@stellaandaudra.com and send me your addy. Thanks for playing everyone, it was a total blast.

Now, thankfully, RT is over and everyone can get back to normal. Which is good. I mean I wasn't there this year, but I gotta say, from all the stuff I have heard, from the EC stuff to RT allegedly feeding conventioners leftovers at the Awards banquet from the Fairy Ball to the hotel being closer to condemned then to renovated I think RT fucked the cat with this one. I haven't heard one favorable report this year and that scares me. Greatly. I hope our promo went over well.

On an up note, I got my ticket for my flight to Scotland. So in June I'll be adding pictures, and hopefully video to this blog as I get it while I'm there. We are going to be doing a LOT of sight seeing, mostly for research for the books though so it should be a lot of fun... I'm happy that Ill be spending 21 days with my sister.. damn fun abound. Though I'm a bit apprehensive, that old Twilight Zone with Shatner keeps coming to mind... THERES SOMETHING ON THE WING! Nightflights across the pond... I think I'm going to sleep through it.

Ooh and did anyone see AVPR? damn... I sat here watching that movie purely mystified. Bizzare. I wouldn't wanna meet up with that Pred-Alien... *shudder*

New Contract!

Audra and I haven't been around much in the last two months, due to the wedding, writing and tons of promotions for the print books. We do have good news though. We have signed a contract for our book, A Bitter Kiss of Chaos, with Noble Romance Publishing! And we are doubly excited because we sold on a partial! Needless to say it was a big decision to accept the contract, but we did because we felt Noble Romance Publishing has their act together. They have a monumental marketing plan, a 5 year business plan and the promise of print on the horizon. They have thus far been rather selective on their acceptances, and we are just so tickled to now count them among our publishers!

So today Ill be updating the website and myspace, and putting the word out on our groups and such. we are bot just SO excited!

A note from a read in Cali...

So Steph in Cali sent me this about Fire in His Eyes:
This is a great start to a new world of paranormals. What I really liked was how all the dragons interacted. They each had their own personalities, strengths and weaknesses. The idea of how each elemental dragon was different was fascinating, I wanted to know more about their individual backgrounds, talents and abilities. I especially liked how the decisions each dragon made defined them. Specifically, how their elemental abilities allowed them greater or lesser freedom/abilities, how this may have affected their outlook to life and to new changes. I felt this was very integral to the story (and future stories) since it gave insight into each dragons abilities and how they were able to survive individually. I know that this need to know what will happen to these characters will keep me wanting more. As an example of what I mean, I liked… while Char was relatively strong due to his ‘fire power,’ other dragons such as Keegan were extremely weak and unable to withstand the onslaught of time with a positive outlook. Char’s focused pursuit of Alcyone and how he seduces her and makes her is mate was sizzling. I could feel his strength and knew he and Alcyone would be happy. They were just meant to be together. On the other hand, Keegan, although she was a secondary character touched me very deeply, too. I kept hoping she would find a way to survive. Her pain and suffering seemed very real and tragic, even though I knew she had lived a long life. I didn’t want the others dragons to suffer, too! Could it possible she could make a reprise?! Or another dragon in a similar situation is still able to find the will to survive in spite of the obstacles of their weakened powers? (If you are the author, I know it is bad but most of my favorite characters, well…. I enjoy them suffering a bit so that when they do find happiness I find it all that more satisfying!)

Sooo… although the book had some Hot scenes, what kept me reading were the interesting characters and wanting to know more and MORE about each dragon’s past and how they became they way they are in the book. In fact, if there are any complaints they would have to be I wanted to know more about the dragons and their history. In the end I wanted each to find someone meaningful like Char and have a happy dragon life, too!


OOH needless to say Im sooo excited! that was the COOLEST email i have gotten ever.

New In Print !!!

Water Dragons Do Everything Deep


Deep Water
Dragon Elementals Book 2
Stella and Audra Price

Bryn Case is a Dive instructor in one of the most beautiful places on
earth at a very exclusive resort. On the evening she meets Kael, a sexy
guest at the resort, she thinks she's found her soul mate. Kael on the
other hand, a Water elemental dragon, knows Bryn, a Glacies demon, is
exactly what he's been looking for his entire life, and curses it.
After all that had happened so far, to lose his heart to a demon is not
something he's prepared to do. Between treasure hunting and her love of
the sea, Kael knows this woman is everything he's ever wanted. Its just
finding and dealing with the demon that has her soul that's going to be
the one thing standing between him and his destined mate...

NOW AVAILABLE IN PRINT FROM TEASE PUBLISHING!





There was so
much packed into it that I savored this romance like a huge fudge brownie. This
second installment in the Dragon Elementals series was worth the time it took
to relish every yummy bit! I can’t wait to see what the Price sisters have in
store for the next book in this series!



4.5 stars, LynseyAnne, Ecata Sensual





The Dragon
Elementals series is addictive, and the next installment can't come out soon
enough!



5
stars, Marlene, Mystique Books



Stella
and Audra Price continue to write some of the sexiest books out there.
DEEP WATER has some of their most sensuous scenes yet, particularly when Bryn
swims with Kael in his dragon form. I also love the strength that Stella
and Audra Price imbue in their female characters. Bryn has lost her soul
in an ill-advised bargain with another demon but her spirit isn’t broken.
DEEP WATER is yet another highly recommended and sizzling hot tale from Stella
and Audra Price.
.



5
Klovers, Anne, Kwips and Kritiques




The
sexual tension in the first part of the story is delicious and is followed by
sex scenes that will raise your temperature to the limit. DEEP WATER was a
terrific second installment in the Dragon Elemental series and I really
look forward to the next.



4.5 blue ribbons, Sandi Potterton,
Romance Junkies





The
equal parts of playfulness and passion between Kael and Bryn was gripping to
the point that I read Deep Water in one sitting just to discover
what was going on. While I won’t tell what happened, I have to say that I
absolutely loved how Kael retrieved the one thing that would make his and
Bryn’s love the absolute it could be. Once again the Price sister’s have
taken a branch of their unique universe and given us a wonderful look at two of
the special people in it. Deep Water is an instant favorite
to be re-read time and again; a definite recommended read.

Winning!

I'm actually really upset for the Ecata girls. apparently there has been some insane people emailing every few minutes to them about the winners, and I think thats wrong. They didn't really do much to the polls, nor did they check if they were out in 2007 because they were tired of getting the insane emails.

So anyway, As it went, Audra and I won The Best love scene 2007 for the Library scene between Bianca and Sam in the Soft Edge of Midnight! We are super excited about it, and we won a few honorable mentions:

Favorite erotic romance of 2007 ( The Soft Edge of Midnight)
Best Sensual Romance under 100 pages (Hot Rio Nights)
Best Sensual Paranormal Romance (Gifts)
Interested in finding out why? Pick them up!

We are seriously excited, and congrats to the winner of almost all of them, Jade Falconer, Rob Grahm, and to Wendy Stone, and the other HM's Alessia Brio and Will Belegon and any others I missed!

make the rules... then break um all cuz you are the best.

well Aud and I hit 40k this week with Masquerade. We had to revamp the 20 k we had, and chucked over 15k so it was a major overhaul. I'm happy t say though that it worked out for the better and the minuscule story lines are aren't going to be pursuing or that cropped up in the telling before the books got published have been cut and its better for it. So I'm hoping for another 40k this coming week... if we can do that then it will work out wonderfully. We need the book to be finished cuz the queue is piling up... Moongardens, Leather and Moonshine, A Bitter Kiss of Chaos, London for the Holidays, Tithe.... The list goes on and on. Needless to say we are up to the challenge.
I need sleep though, and i plan to get it now. Night.

Monday, January 14, 2008

Back to work.

In the past three days respectfully, Audra and I have put a nice dent in getting Masquerade finished. It getting back to our lunatic writing regime, and that means up till about 3am NY time and sleeping a bit later in order to work with that kinda time frame. I don't mind though, the later we are up the more creative we actually get.
So Oscar and Ri are going to be out in either June or July if this works out. I'm not sure about Frost and Flame, probably out for Feb 15th like we planned. This is all good and I LOVE getting work done.
And this weekend is the first EVER author party! Needless to say I'm excited about it. With the girls coming to hangout, and some new readers my mom knows, i think we are going to have a fabulous time, but more on that once the party is over and i can report fully.
Audra's wedding plans are all but made, and now its a 6 month count down for it. Im really excited for her, and for going to Scotland, especially because Aud and I are going to do some hands on research for three of the books we are writing. I need some pictures and some personal experience so this is going to be a lot of fun, and a working vacation.
Ok well Im back to writing, Oscar wont let me rest long, and I love when we work like this, so its not all bad.

Sexy Sexy Sexy!


OK was it any wonder that Clive Owen is like one of the hottest men alive? Not to me, but it was just reaffirmed with the movie Shoot Em Up. OMG. As if he could get hotter, but you know what? He does... I mean hes sexy, hes brittish and hes apparently got it all going on... and did i mention hes got a killer arse? Yep i shit you not. SO sexy.
So hes on my List... TOTALLY... And just so you guys know, hes our muse for our soon to be introduced psychic cop, Alec Evans, or Evans for short. A new resident of the Eververse and Shadow Heights, hes going to give Spinner a run for her money... Sexy, yummy and caustic, i think C.O. is the best representation we could ever find for him...

Ooey Gooey Yummy, Clive, your a top 5.

Tuesday, January 01, 2008

Happy New Year!

So this year has been the oddest of all my 28 years.Why? Because I got stuck spending new years with the In laws. Yep. Now normally this isnt really a problem, it was the subject of the evening that has possibly put me in therapy.
Anyone ever see that ben stiller movie The Heartbreak Kid? you know the one with the Wild sex scenes, the clit piercing and nasty hairy muff, Jerry Stiller calling people pussy cocks left and right, and the donkey Show... that one? Yeah well guess who got stuck watching it with there future Mother and father in law? Yep. you guessed it. Moi. And this normally wouldnt be the biggest scaring situation of 07/08 but Joe's parents are not normal. they are rather uptight.. si this was really uncomfortable.
To top it all off, I was SOBER through it all, and STILL AM. nope, no partying for me this year... this year it was gathering fodder for my therapist.. the one that I have resolved to visit after this episode.
I hope Aud has a better new years, but word had it Neil was banned from their neighborhood pub for a brawl. Lord only knows whats going on with her. Ill have to wait and see. But seeing a Donkey Show with my future mother in law? NOT COOL.

So i hope you ALL had a great new years, and drank a couple with me in mind. I'm hoping that 2008 is fruitful for all my friends and us, cuz with all our hard work, we deserve it. So heres to fabulous contracts, fulfilled dreams, amazing sales and good good things the full year for everyone! Happy New Year!
