Secret Project...

ROCKS.

Yes, I know We had one before and its out at pubs right now so keep your fingers crossed. For this one though, we went in a totally new direction and I love this. My project notebook is quickly filling up.

We are almost finished with Satyr book 2, which we have renamed To Collar and Keep is about 29k finished. We need to add a bit in though, and it looks like it will end up around 35-40k, so we are happy with that. With Of Crimson and Collars coming out next month, we are trying hard to finish this and get it to our editor.

So this weekend starts my crazy fall season. Im driving to Ohio for CONTEXT this weekend, If your in the area, come to the event and see me on saturday from 12-2pm on Saturday. I will be signing, and you will have a chance to get Masquerade. Next weekend is Farmington CT with the ever fun Jessica Andersen and Kathryn Smith and friends, If your close to there, come and hangout, we will have baked goods and candy!

After that its, Cheesefest in Monroe NY on the 12th, RenFaire on the 19th and then I finally have a weekend off. October brings the Collingswood Book Fest on the 3rd, and AlbaCon on the 9-11th. Then I have a weekend to get ready for Audra coming on the 20th. But that week is going to be insane with getting everything for AAD together and done before Aud gets here so I can spend time with her in NYC. Once the AAD weekend is over I can breathe easy, but I think I over scheduled myself.

Ooh and we have two shorts we are almost finished with. Not sure when you will see them, or where, but we know you will love them. Short dirty little stories...

Ok well I gotta get ready for tonites concert, the last show in NYC for the NIN goodbye tour. *sniff* But Im going to enjoy it and its going to kick ass.

Lates

Writing, writing, writing... I love days like today.

So we have another idea, a secret project we are developing. Audra and I are so excited. I'm hoping this is the one that we say BING, its the one. the idea is so simple, and whats more, no one is doing this yet in romance. I'm ever hopeful.

And we are working on another of the stories for the snakes. Yes, this one will probably end up being a novella, something that will happen between some other stories in the novel series. I'm very excited about it, and I LOVE LOVE LOVE the hero.

We are also hard at work at finishing Satyrs two, Harlequin and Arabella's story, what we have named Of Beauty and Bonds. I really like how this one is coming out, and I hope the readers take to this story as well as we have. the Satyrs are a naughty bunch of guys, but Oh so sexy.

And we are writing a short for another character you guys would have just met if you have read A gift of Daybreak. We arent sure where its going to be used, in the next Eververse book or if its getting its own publication, but OMG is he a naughty naughty guy.

So it is back to writing. With Of Crimson and Collars on the horizon, Im getting my ducks in a row to present a very cool contest for the release. Keep your head up, this is one you are going to WANT to win!

Interviews from the Edge: Levet the gargoyle

Hello everyone! I’m here today with my favorite gargoyle eva, Levet. He has been gracious enough to come and talk with us today and give us all more of a peek into what makes him, him.

Embrace the Darkness. This book also features the ever sexy vamp Viper, and Levet’s besty, Shay, a Shallot demon. Since Embrace, Levet has had cameo’s through the rest of the books, and has made reading them more of an enjoyment. I always wait for a Levet scene. I’m ever so excited I get to chat with him now.

SP: Hi Levet! Glad you were up for this. Can you tell everyone a little about yourself?

Bonjour!! I am happy, of course, to speak about myself. I am, after all, a most fascinating subject who has led a life of adventure and extraordinary bravery. To be honest, I am shocked that I have not yet had my beautiful face gracing the cover of Time. Or at least the centerfold of Playgirl. Ah well. In time my true glory will be shared with the world.
So…about me. I am a powerful gargoyle, although I was rudely and quite unjustly forced from the Gargoyle guild since I am vertically challenged. As if being three foot tall is not enough. The world could not bear my splendor if I were any larger. Unfortunately I have been forced to fend for myself, until I met Shay, who has made me a part of her family. I prefer to ignore the unpleasant fact she is mated to a vampire. No one’s perfect, well…except for me.


SP: How old are you?

The cathedral of Notre Dame was still just a dream when I blessed the world with my birth.

SP: How does it feel to the unsung hero of the Guardians of Eternity series?

So typical that the cold-hearted leeches would pig (wait, Shay insists I must use the word hog) hog all the glory. Still, it is something of a tradition for the truly great heroes to work incognito. Just look at Batman. Or of course, Superman. Although I am far more handsome than either.

SP: So how’s the magic coming along? Several times you have used your powers and they have had varied effects, is it getting more stable?

*Clears throat* It might be a teensy weensy bit unpredictable, but of course, it is wondrous to behold. And do not listen to anything Jagr might have to say concerning my magic. The cold-blooded bastard is simply jealous.

SP: How are things at home with Shay and Viper? Any good stories?

Ah, Shay is always a delight. So sweet and charming. Which makes her devotion to Viper all the more puzzling. Of course, he can be fun upon occasion. Just the other day he taught us all how to curse like an ancient Viking when he discovered I had a small mishap with his Bugatti.

SP: So I always wanted to know, when you go all stony during the day, what’s it like? Is it sleep? Or is your mind away and traveling?

I actually have no memory of being a statue. Sweet oblivion.

SP: So here’s some questions just all about you.

SP: Your favorite food?
Ox. Still on the hoof.


SP: Your favorite movie?
la cage aux folles.


SP: Who do you like better, Viper or Cezar?

Ew. That is like asking if I prefer turnips or brussel sprouts. In my opinion, the only good vamp is one who has the good taste to remain in his crypt where he belongs.


SP: What are your hobbies?

Being a Knight in Shining Armor leaves me little time for hobbies, but I do plan to take over Howie Mandel as host of Deal or No Deal when I am done rescuing damsels in distress. That seems like a sweet gig with all those beautiful women.

SP: Summer or Winter?

Summer. Winter is so hard on my skin.

SP: Clear skies or rain?

Rain.


SP: We know you are a terrible flirt, which makes you that much more loveable, but what do you consider romantic?

A cozy room with a warm fire, a bottle of wine (French, of course) and a lovely water sprite who knows how to stroke a gargoyles wings.

SP: So do you make an appearance in Darkness Unleashed? Is it a small part or did Alex relent and give you a bigger part?

My role is far larger, and I am essential in the rescue of Regan, but as usual I must play second fiddle to a vampire. I will say that I at last…ah no, I must say no more. My lips are sealed.

SP: Tell us a secret, something telling about you as a gargoyle.

There are few people who know that gargoyles have been worshiped by many for our ability to bestow fertility. Yet another reason for women to adore me.

SP: Now I think it’s a great affront that Alex doesn’t have you as a character on her website. Why do you think that is?

She is so terribly bourgeoisie, always fussing over those vampires and werewolves. So what if they are all tall, and gorgeous, and oozing sensuality? It takes a woman of exquisite taste to appreciate a gargoyle.


SP: Now I know other gargoyles aren’t as cool as you, so tell us a little about your heritage and what means the most to you, being a gargoyle.

Ah, most people assume because of our frightening exterior that we must be stupid, unfeeling beasts. It couldn’t be further from the truth. Certainly there are some gargoyles who are brutish and incapable of finer feelings, but many are quite artistic and sophisticated. Indeed, it well known among the demon world that it was a gargoyle who actually painted the Sistine chapel.


SP: Anything else you want to add?

It is rumored that Levet will not be making an appearance in the anthology that Ms. Ivy is currently writing. This travesty must not be allowed. For those of you who wish to save the silly woman from utter disaster, you can send an email to alexandraivy @ yahoo dot com and tell her that you demand your favorite gargoyle.

Andy is LIVE

A GIFT OF DAYBREAK is LIVE!

Thrust into what could be a very illicit situation, could a man not looking for love find it where he least expects it?

When Andy Derrell went to Las Vegas to enjoy a wedding he never thought he would be propositioned by one of the most notorious nests in the country to audition its female members for a possible mate. But there he was, with six females to choose from, females that were coveted by their own territory's men.

Fajer Copeland, the only non-venomous snake of the southwestern nest, and their most sought after beauty is not looking for a mate, and is fine with being alone. Until the night Andy shows up in her bedroom doorway. Can she fall for the man that entices both her body and her mind and look forward to a life she always dreamed of?

Its a bit more demure compared to the first books in the series, Andy and Fajer are very different then the rowdy cousins and their wild mates. I hope you you will like them, Andy really is a one of a kind guy.

Wanna win some goodies? Well here's how. Buy the book, and read it, and leave a review at Total E Bound. I'll pick a winner August 28th 2009. What do you win? Some signed goodies and either a hat or t shirt, winners choice. Good luck and we hope you'll like it.

Good luck! So enjoy the excerpt below and fall in love with Oscar... we did.


Excerpt:

Oscar looked out over the ice plains and smiled at the glittering mass that loomed before him. The triple moons of the Afterverse hung low in the air, the sky was a definite purple. Oscar, schooled in the knowledge of omens of his people took this as a good sign. So, things are going to return to normal eh? Balance again in the royal house? It’s about fucking time. He moved away from the window and grabbed a cloak and made his way down to the throne room, to see what perversity the bastard prince was up to. As a loyal friend of the true prince and a general of the realm, he felt it his duty to keep tabs on what Gabbe was doing to the kingdom at large. And now, it looks like I must be ever more watchful, because the times they are changing back to as they should be.
The hallways were quiet on his way to the throne room, not a single soul floated through. Nor any Conglacio, either of his acquaintance or not was seen. He reached the throne room to find a most peculiar sight. Milo, head of the third house was standing in the center, a beautiful girl at his side. At his entrance the girl turned and looked at him and he stopped cold. She’s Conglacio? Where the hell has she been hiding? I had thought I knew all the ladies of the realm. He bowed at her and smiled, then moved over to where Gabbe was standing. He bowed to Milo, and saluted.
“Milo, it has been a very long time. Who is this fetching creature standing beside you?”
Before Milo could answer Gabbe turned to him, all steely and cold. “This is Uriel. She’s Milo’s daughter. I have asked to take her to the ball at the Cento court, and was waiting on Milo’s answer.”
Oscar smiled and gave Milo a guarded warning look. He assessed the girl beside him, who was no more than Drake's age. If she was in that age group, why don’t I know her, and do the princes know such a perfect specimen of Conglacio beauty is around? He smiled at Gabbe. “Wonderful. I don’t think you will be able to make that ball prince, remember, you were off to the Celo Court to see Kayla?” Oscar made it a point to mention the princess that Gabbe was courting in front of Uriel and Milo so that Milo would get the hint to keep the girl away from the bastard prince. She was too beautiful to be wasted on such a whelp as he.
Milo understood and smiled. “Well highness, it seems that we are at an impasse. No doubt the princess will be sorely put out to not accompany her suitor to the ball but I will have to decline your request. However, as Uriel has her heart set on it, I shall have to squire her myself.”
Oscar stood at attention and smiled. “Milo, I would be honored to squire Uriel around the ball, as I am not attached to anyone, nor have I been since Daphne. It would be my unbridled pleasure.”
“Very well Oscar, you may take Uriel, as you’re a Demon of your word, and I can trust you with the one thing in the verse precious to me. We shall see you at moonrise tomorrow.” With that he left with the shy and stunning creature and Gabbe was seething like a spoiled child that did not get his way. Score one for the first house! Gabbe can’t have them all and Uriel is much too good for him. And yet she reminds me of someone, I can’t place whom.
“What’s wrong with you Gabbe? If Kayla finds out, your claim on both courts is over. Trust me highness, this way you can have your cake and eat it too.”
The bastard prince’s anger turned to confusion. “How do you figure Oscar? You’re taking the girl I wanted to take.”
“Pardon highness, but you’re not too bright are you? If you take Kayla and I take Uriel, you will have your chance to woo both women.” Right and if I let you near Uriel it will be a very hot day on the ice plains. He saw Gabbe realize what that meant and the bastard prince smiled.
“Excellent plan Oscar. It seems you’re always looking out for me.”
Oscar bowed as Gabbe left the throne room. Right, the only thing I’m looking out for is how best to kill you when the time is right. You don’t deserve the throne, and I'd love to do the princes the service of ridding you of your life.

***

Uriel stood in the throne room and couldn't help feeling as if she was a horse being bartered over. The now crown prince had recently taken an interest in her and had kindly invited her to the ball at the Cento court. Uriel, although she had heard many things about the court, had never visited it herself. She had thanked the prince for such a kind offer and had accepted; as anyone in her position would have done which is what had caused her to be standing in the throne room so late at night.
Her father had been enraged when she'd told him. Cursing and swearing, which was something she’d only ever seen him do once before. He was never like that around her, and for him to be like that to her she knew that she had somehow messed up. She still couldn't really understand it. Gabbe had always been more than nice to her, but her father strongly disagreed with even the thought and she loved her father dearly.
So, now she was standing in the throne room as her father politely tried to turn down the prince’s offer. They had been here for over an hour and Gabbe showed no sign of giving up his claim. She looked around the great room in awe, it was very pretty. Movement from the side door caught her eye and she turned just in time to see a man walk into the room. He was about her height, a little taller, and had the most amazing eyes she had ever seen, the most intense shade of blue. He bowed at her and smiled, then moved over to where Gabbe was standing. He bowed to her father and saluted. She watched the man curiously as he seemed to know her father.
The exchange had been brief and Gabbe had been waylaid, which looked to be much to her father’s delight, and she was going to be squired by the newcomer, Oscar. Her father ushered her out the door before Gabbe could say another word. He almost had them both out of the palace before she spoke up. She stopped and took her arm away from him and turned to face him.
"Father what is going on? Who was he? And why is he now taking me to the ball that you've been cursing about all evening?" She asked him, feeling slightly scared at the thought of spending the evening with the strange man.
"Uriel, that is Oscar. He’s the head of the first house of the Conglacio and he’s a much better match. I trust you, and your virtue, to him."
She raised an eyebrow, "And not the prince?"
Milo sighed. "Not a prince that's courting both you and a Princess. I would hate to have your heart broken because of the," he choked on his words "prince."
She nodded and smiled. "I know father, I trust you to know what's best. If it makes any difference I didn't really want to go with Gabbe. Thank you for having my best interests at heart, many wouldn't. I'm glad you see me as a daughter and not just a tool to barter off for the highest support.”
"Uriel, love, I will always have your best interest at heart. You’re my daughter. If the prince was worth it he'd be yours, you’re stunning."
"Thanks dad. We better get home since it’s an early start in the morning."
"Lord Milo?" She heard Oscar’s voice shout.
Oscar followed them down the reception hallway and caught up, smiling. "I was wondering if I might be able to escort Uriel home? I'm sure you’re busy, and she is your daughter, but..." He let his voice trail off and Milo nodded.
"Excellent idea Oscar. I do have a few things to attend to, so daughter? Would you mind terribly if Oscar here walked you home?"
She swallowed a few times then nodded, stunned. "Sure, well I… I, would be honored." Smooth Uriel, smooth. She ducked down and cursed her conversational skills.
"Uriel, believe me, the honor is all mine." He smiled and gazed into her eyes with his blue green ones.

New Awesome Cover!

The cover gods have answered our prayers!

We got our final cover from TEB for our forthcoming book, the first in the American Satyrs series, Of Crimson and Collars:

Isnt it pretty? Aud and I are very happy with it. its Classy, and sexy and does portray Minerva, as well as the castle we used, Belvedere Castle in Central Park in NYC.

Heres the blurb:

As a princess of the Satyr confederation, Minerva has been coddled, spoiled and revered, as well as taught and trained just how to serve her Satyr. beautiful, sexy and a prize in herself, she's anxious to meet the man that will become her lover, master, and reason for living.

Esben Chambers, a half demon, half something else orphan lives on earth with few cares or ties. His family partially unknown, he's embraced his Strigo, or time demon, heritage, though some of his powers are well out of the scope of the lords of time.

When a Imp shows up as his estate, claims he’s the only living Satyr prince to clan Tempest, Ben realizes there might be something to figuring out just who his fathers people were, and agrees to go to New York for a Convergence Summit. He's counting on figuring out why he was left alone in the world.

What he doesn't count on is the enchanting woman he sees in a floor show, the woman that makes his blood burn to possess her.

The book comes out September 28th 2009 and OMG we cant wait to see what everyone thinks of the cover. Im so excited about this book FINALLY coming out!

Ooh and Keep checking back, we have a GREAT contest for this book. I had a pair of one of a kind earrings made for this book, of Fire opals, smoky quartz and crystal. they are danglies and will never be made again, and Im going to give them away to a lucky reader!

JUST RELEASED!

SURRENDER IN MOONLIGHT
Knossos West Book 2

The plan was to steal his bike and ride outta town. She didn't count of him stealing her freedom, or her heart.

Reece Evans, the nest bad boy and only male Anaconda in the NY nest, 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 stays with him a month, and becomes 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.

And guess what? we found out it is a RECOMMENDED READ at Joyfully Reviewed!

New Cover!

So Audra and I got the cover for the third in the snake novella's A Gift of Daybreak. Wanna see? I thought so!

When Andy Derelle went to Las Vegas to enjoy a wedding he never thought he would be propositioned by one of the most notorious nests in the country to audition its female members for a possible mate. But there he was, with six females to choose from, females that were coveted by their own territory's men.

Fajer Copeland, the only non-venomous snake of the southwestern nest, and their most sought after beauty is not looking for a mate, and is fine with being alone. Until the night Andy shows up in her bedroom doorway. Can a love blossom when two people are thrown together that have no interest in relationships?

Yes, its the third and final story in the Knossos West Novella's for the three cousins. it comes out August 10th and Im SOOOOO excited about it! Hopefully you guys will all go and read them!


The second book, Surrender in Moonlight, will be out later this month. and then guess what? its Satyrs for the Fall baby!

Audra and I are sending Masquerade in to our editor this week, and have already begun outlining Drake's book, and doing a few scenes. Its going to be the best book yet... I mean when it opens up with a poker game of all our single characters bitching about everyone else falling into relationships, and then Drake meets Enid... You know its going to be interesting.

So I'm back to writing. I have some ideas to get down. Ooh and don't forget to come and hangout on Shadow Heights this Thursday, I'm throwing a early summer party and the amount of goodies you could win from TONS of fantastic authors (including myself, Alexandra Ivy and Joey W Hill!)

So Aud and I are doing well, and busy. But you as a reader and fan, should come and hangout with us at our FORUM.

OOh and Im hip deep in edits for A Gift of Daybreak, the third in the Knossos West weresnake novella's. Also, Masquerade needs a Epilogue, and then its off to Super Editor Holly!

and the new books is practically writing itself. This is going to be a good weekend. Ooh and I bought a new bookcase at IKEA yesterday. Excited? you bet!

See you guys soon.

Dirty Thirty

My mother said that to me on Sunday. Welcome to the dirty thirties. What that mean, I have no clue.

But I am 30 now, and they keep telling me life begins at 30. I'm not sure about that, but I am hopeful that good changes will come now that I'm past the hump of my 20's. So far its been good. I'm happy we have been productive with the writing, and I feel like things could be looking up. We reopened the Shadow heights forum, and its been going well. Ooh and we are almost finished with Masquerade. That NEEDS to get out to readers, its the best book we have written to date in the Eververse series.

I have been excited about writing the past two weeks. Its not feeling like a chore, and I'm so damn hopeful for all the goodness coming this year, especially Audra visiting. But first, summer. Summer is going to rock this year. Joe and I will be visiting our friend in NC in July for a week, and we have a few day trips coming up as well. I cant wait.

Tomorrow... Dun dun dun dun!

Well. One more day. and I'm 30. Yeah. Not excited. But I did get my hair cut yesterday, short, and it looks cute. Its much better for the summer. Just have to keep up with it. Or chemically straighten it. Either way, I will be cute throughout July.

We got our edits for Daybreak, and need to add some sex, Surprise surprise. See Audra and I get bored of writing sex for some books, so this is going to be like pulling teeth, but we will get it done and back to our super awesome editor in about a week and a half. I cant wait to see the cover for the book.

OOH and Surrender in Moonlight will be out June 22nd. Mark your calendar. Its hot.

I'm also excited because we will be finishing Masquerade in the next two weeks and sending it to Holly for edits. Finally, you guys will know and love the brothers of the first house of Conglacio, Oscar and Drake. And YES, you WILL love Drake. And yes, we will have it for AAD this year. Cant wait for that.

So what will we be working on this summer? Book two of our most recent series, Moongardens, and A Bitter Kiss of Chaos. Also, we will be working on some shorts for Janey and Marsh, Arcady and Snow and Barbas and Illithen. So be on the lookout.

So Im off to the grocery store, gotta get ready for todays BBQ and buy some alcohol so i can deal with my crazy ass family.

Submitted.

yes, I'm happy to say that our submission for the new series we are developing is off to its requested submission. I'm nervous, and scared and hell freaked out. The CP we have (who is the COOLEST EVA!) loved the book the second time through after we added to it, and I feel good about that. I just hope this submission is well liked by the person that requested it. Here is hoping.

So my birthday is 5 days away. T minus 5 days till I'm rocking 30. And guess what I did today? I bought myself Fea Bea Ugly Doll. Yep. Happy birthday to me. I'm a happy girl. WOO.

Ooh and edits for Surrender in Moonlight are done, and the book will be available June 22nd. I hope you will consider picking it up. Its a naughty little story (much more erotic then the first one) and we love Reece. LOL.

So I guess its bed time. I have a weak stomach and don't know if I will be able to sleep. Crap. I should have done this in Feb when i wasnt sleeping much. On the upswing, I can finish the covers I have on my plate tomorrow. Nite.

T-minus 10 days and counting

On May 24th, I will be 30. Am I freaked? Nope. 30 is just a number, and I don't look like I'm going to be 30 either so I think that helps. This year is a big year, and I don't think I will be doing any big celebrating. Its a very odd weekend, being Memorial day and all. So I'm not expecting much. Joe is getting me a wonderful spa day which I need, and I have decided on a Warm Stone treatment and Full body massage. I seriously need it, my body is a mess of knots and toxins.

So this year everyone keeps asking me what I want for my birthday. Well Imma leave a list here for everyone who asked to refer to:

~Another Ugly Doll. This year I want either FEBEA BLUE or HIDDEN POE
~My tarot cards done or my astrology chart
~A Winters Journal
~A new pocket watch
~ A Mad Hatter Ring

So that's what I like. I also like Urban Decay makeup, and Tart makeup. So there you go.

Audra and I will finish this book tomorrow. and Then Ill be editing and sending it out as we are supposed to. I'm excited, and nervous. But I feel good about the book. Really good.

it is almost time.

Yes, this books is one scene away from being put to bed. After the awesome talk we had with our CP, she gave us some insight and we decided to add two more scenes to the book to really round it out and answer some hanging questions. I'm hoping this will make the book better in the long run, but we will just have to wait to see what everyone things.

So today I'm writing the cover letter, blurb and hoping for the best. I suck canal water at writing a cover letter, and I always get it wrong. Too many templates to what you need, and I'm not a natural marketer (I know right? Me?). I just cant sum shit up, and If I can then I personally feel the writer (or myself) didn't intrigue me enough for my mind to play out all possibilities. So it looks like Im going to need help with this, as usual. And before you say, 'well, you got aud' Aud cant write a business letter any better then we are. we are creative, and I find cover letters too limiting. Still, it must be done, so Im going to start plugging away at it shortly, once I get my ducks in a row.

Everything for AAD is also going awesome. If your thinking about going, DO. The authors we have signing up for it are freaking amazing, and the surprises and goodies we have in store for you are well worth the pittance it costs to go to this event. Check everything out HERE.
We are still waiting on edits for the second snake book, and if you havent read the first, please go and pick it up and leave us a review. But if you dont like snakes, give it a chance ok, I swear they arent gross or icky.

OOh and thanks to the awesome chicks from last night that helped me come up with a name for the book and the series. Kimmy, Amiee, Judy and Kay, LOVE you guys. It helped a lot and Im running it all by Audra today.

So its back to work for me. I have lots to do and less time to do it in. Why? because today is STAR TREK DAY!!!!
