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!

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.

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!
