Glamour is Live!

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

Glamour
Book 2 of the Djinn/ Duvall series
By Stella and Audra Price
Published by Phaze
Out Dec. 31st 2006

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.

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....

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.

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!

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?

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!

You can read the rest of the review HERE

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!

OOh we are SOOOO excited! What a great way to start a otherwise dreary wensday.

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.

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....

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..

Wednesday, October 11, 2006

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....
