new website

Well I have done it. I redid the website and the blog and Myspace will follow soon. And I added a contact form and a chat room, which should be fun.

So now im trying to get my Press kit done, my videos and and my promo for the next 4 books that are coming out in print.

Im a mess, and its going to be a wild weekend. I still have to burn 50 copies of my free story for the signing coming up, and the only thing thats keeping me going is the knowledge that I get to see Transformers on the 3rd. WOO HOO.

Back to work.

And Im getting ready for the signings and the events coming up, So thats taking a lot outta me as well. I need to Finishi doing a bunch of promo stuff too and thats always time consuming.

New Candle!

Isnt it amazing? Well it will look better when lit, theres a blue center, and it will glow through the "Ice" outter layer. The fantastic and wonderful JFay has designed this for us for our soon to be released Silk and Steel. Aud and I are completey insanely excited and im just tickled we now have two candles in the series. LOL now i just have to get the Dragon series candles started and all will be well.

Will i be doing a candle for the Djinn? you bet your arse. Wishbound and Gifts will each have their own 3x8 if im not mistaken, but they will only be out when the print books come out. So youll have to wait. But damn im so excited. she really captured what we wanted YET AGAIN!

New reference books.

yeah so the best thing about my mom working at a highschool is that I get the refrence books the throw in the Discard pile at the end of the year. So what did i get this year? a damn fine haul:

• a history of suicide
• A visual encyclopedia of unconventional medicine
• a visual encyclopedia of insects
• a dictionary of geology
• the handbook of astronomical anomalies

what the hell my old highschool was doing with a history of suicide is completely beyond me, but its mine now and i KNOW it will come in handy with research. So its a highlighter and page sticky time.. yay... fun fun fun.

Thirteen Places...

*Places I need to visit before I Die.*

1.The Nazca Plateau, Peru
Yeah i wanna see the drawings only visible from the air.
2. The Great Serpent Mound, Ohio
Earthen mounds are a big deal in the US, but this one is the most famous.
3.Ayre's Rock, Australia
Apparently the earth energies coming from that spot is the most acute in the world.
4.The Uffington Horse, Sussex, England
A giant horse carved into the chalky English countryside. Gotta see that.
5.The Bride Stones, England
Again. A giant monolith circle. primitive man was indeed strange
6.The Cave of the Swallows, Mexico
a large chasm kind of cave, it is a thing of beauty and wonder and I would love to see it.
7.Swineside Circle,Northern England
Apparently the legend is the devil used to visit the stone circle nightly, causing the stones to sink into the earth. Gotta see that.
8.Mary Queen's Close, Scotland
the old city that Edinburgh, Scotland is built on. Parts of it are open for tours, but i would LOVE to really explore whats hidden down there.
9.Chanctonbury Ring, England
A man levitated there once in the 70's and there as been odd energy disturbances there for centuries.
10.Boleskin House , Loch Ness, Scotland
Alestair Crowley, The great Beast of the occult, started a demon ritual there back in the day. He never finished it and to this day theres disturbances at the house, which is a bed and breakfast.
11.The Myrtles, Lousiana
One of the Country's oldest haunted homes. I would LOVE to visit.
12.The Queen Mary, Long Beach, CA
Gian Ocean liner thats supposedly haunted by several entities. Sign me up!
13.Renne-le-Chateau, France
the Sauniere, the real one, not the Dan Brown fictional character, was a preist in France and when renovating an old church, he found something that caused him to doubt his faith. He put a devil in the entryway with the words "this place is terrible" and sunk quickly into the occult and died mysteriously, unable to recieve confession and his last rites.

New Print Cover!

Isnt it beautiful! its the print cover for our first print book with Phaze, a collection of the first two Djinn (Duvall Inc) stories Wishes and Glamour. I have been told it will be print this fall and OMG in so excited!

So be on the lookout for it this fall!

The signing in scranton: the aftermath

We had a blast. Rene and I really need to be separated sometimes. But it was omg fun!

All the ladies that showed up, Kore, Amy(s), I moan, Woo Woo, Renee, Laura, Book whore and everyone else i met. I loved meeting everyone. We sold books, met some fun people and hand a just damn good time.

Im nervous though, Kore is reading Sugar and im SOO nervous shes going to hate it. I'm just hoping everyone that bought the book is going to enjoy it and that we don't disappoint.

AND... the borders wants us to come back too! It was just SO much fun to hangout with B and Jacki and Rene... i cant wait to do it again.

lol Im just glad im not in a lot of pictures... heh

Signing Tomorrow!

Im lucky enough to have some awesome friends, and those friends and I are having a signing at Borders in Scranton PA tomorrow from 2-6. Yep. we have tons of books to sign and goodies to give away! So If your close enough to the area, come and hang out with us at the Borders at the Viewmont Mall... I know you'll have a swinging time!

Gifts is in!

Yep. Gifts is finished... and OMG we are SOOOO happy with it! its at 90,270 word and im just so happy its finally done. its a gateway book for the continuation of the series, and the teaser to the Keepers of Twilight Series, which will be out with Siren starting this October. So shall i give you a blurb for Gifts?

The holidays are a time for giving, so when Marsh decides to give Jane a real Christmas, complete with family and friends, he never expected everything to go haywire. Meeting his family is only part of the problem. His parents, the reigning royalty of his race, are going to be a surprise to Jane, but no more so then his station as crown prince, a fact he had kept hidden from her till now.

Throw in a conniving princess that contracts his death, an engagement ring and his quirky and outlandish parents, and Marsh has his hands full, just presenting Jane as his consort.

Two days before Christmas, Trent Duvall, Janey’s Silent partner in the assassin syndicate shows in Austria and informs them of the fact that a special member of the Duvall inner circle has gone AWOL, and its up to Jane and Marsh to help him get him back. With the help of Malcolm Frost and a few choice friends, Trent and Marsh leave Jane in Austria and go to Africa to retrieve their family member, and usurp the position of a murderous and insane Fallen Angel.

And you thought your holidays were stressful.


Yeah It does sound good doesnt it? LOL Im sooo happy its done, and the cover, obviously, was done my lil old me.

Long live the ugly worm!

Yep... Suzette, because she loves me above all else, got me an Ugly worm for my birthday! I new have 5 ugly dolls... and must collect them all! And i think i set off a chain reaction, because poor suzettes kids and Rene's little girl want them now... Sorry parents... but they are a rocking toy. So much better then the teddy bear! its this age's teddy bear! and i have 5 MUAHAHAHAHAH...

The signing went well, a few of us sold books, but it turned into a real networking thing, and Im thinking of setting another one of those up in the future so the lot of us can setup an event of immense proportions! Its good to know who is close to you and in the same industry, I LOVE setting up stuff where people can come and meet the authors, and to hangout with others you know?

So now i have the idea in my head to get a group together for signings and shit, and damn it, as if i have ANY time to do ANYTHING else with my life... LOL. but its good. Networking is good...

So today is hangout with Val day. We are going to the Winery, and to the craft town Sugar Loaf to probably get some soaps from the infamous ROSENERS... heh it is going to prove to be a sound and fun day.

then...

I get to come home and do LOTS of work. LOL. Its never done.

Signing.. promo, and James Purefoy

So with the signing on friday, Im a promotiona mess over here. it looks like the arts and crafts section of summer camp threw up and them had glitter sprinkled on it. Yep, im that much of a freak when it comes to having unique promo. So for the next 12 hours Ill be sitting here watching ROME and other awesome series (like FARSCAPE) and getting my crafty on. Its times like this i wish Aud lived closer.

Im also on a full blown James Purefoy kick. ROME is the greatest show ever, lots of full frontal nudity.... I can dig it... and it passes the time. James Purefoy is so hot. Must keep watching him.

OOH and Rene and I started a new Bloggy. its called Delicious Darkness, and its going to be our new place to play. Come visit us and see what its all about. I think the graphics for it came out particularly good. LOL.

OK well crafts call.. lost to do and less time to do it in.

28th birthday: the aftermath

Ok so i have offically been 28 for a little over a day. Yep. 28 isnt so bad really... well lets recap the day:

• Joe got me some fantastic Cala lillies for my birthday
• I set a handtowel on fire
• borders had tarot cards on sale, i got two decks with hardcover books for under 10$
• my grandparents bought me a cheesecake i wont eat.
• got to see Pirates: at world end last night... OMG fantastic.
• got to see the full trailer for transformers. OMG awesome
• I got to sleep somewhat late.

Yep it was all in all a good day. and I love my flowers. Audra and I also wrote about 2k yesterday on a short story. I was rather excited. Im hoping we will be as prolific in the next month as e have been recently.

So the signing is a week and two weeks away from today. Tonite I'm going to NYC to see Bright Eyes with Joe and then I'm going back to NYC on Sunday for The Faint. ooh its a good birthday weekend. now to get some work done before i leave.

Audra is a tease

Yep. last night she teased me with ROME the second season. why is it a tease? because James Purefoy is NEKKID in it all the time. lots of naughty sex scenes, totally hot... and i dont have it. So now im on a quest to get it.
Why? because i adore James Purefoy. ADORE HIM. amazing actor, fantastic human being and OMG so hot. hes sexy sexy sexy.

I need to attain this dvd collection....

the week has just started...

and several things have occurred. One, i got a phone call from Rene Lyons... She always makes my Mondays fun. Bitching and moaning has never been so satisfying as to when we are on the phone. Two, I received a phone call from some guy who though I was a woman named Lisa, then hit on me, tried to tell me about some erotic dream, and that he was hepped up on NyQuil. Third, I need to find a job. Big old poo on the Job. Its not like i don't work my ass off daily with the web stuff, covers and actual writing i do. A job is seriously going to intrude on my writing time with Audra, so im a bit apprehensive.

Thursday is my birthday. That means two things. One, Ill be hiding from Family members that will be calling starting at 7am to with me well (Anyone calling me that early should have a pox on their house for even THINKING my ass would be up.) and Two, I get to see PIRATES 3 at midnight. Woo. that is worth it i think, not to mention i have two shows in NYC (Bright EYES and The Faint) that weekend. So i suppose i have something to look forward to.

Work is going well too. Gifts is almost finished, and then we only have ONE more book to finish for the year before we can get a hop on 2008 work. Im confident that well finish that one in enough time that we wont have to worry overly much about anything.

because I love Rene...

Im tellin you guys about her new print book, The Daystar. Yep, my girl is laid up after some surgery, and Im here giving you the skinny on her book. So heres the Blurby:

Can she heal lifetimes of pain and make him believe salvation is possible? Always feeling different from the world around her, a power grows within Lexine Parker. In the light is where she belongs-even as she finds herself thrust into the nocturnal realm of the Templar vampires. Scarred by a brutal past, Constantine is a creature consumed with rage. He knows only darkness and sin. Believing he fights a losing battle of redemption, heaven is something he doesn't dare hope for-until Lexine makes him believe salvation is possible. Locked away in an ancient castle, they come together in body and spirit, searching for love to chase away the darkness. With Constantine's soul at stake and Lex's life on the line, the nights tick down to a cataclysmic event that could tear them apart forever. Warning, this title contains the following: violence.

Yep. The girl got another winner with this one. The fans just love it, and If you havent read it yet, or started with Midnight Sun, do so. The series rocks.

So You can buy this book at Amazon (where, BTW, shes already paired and her preorder has gone swimmingly) and if your in the NY/PA area coming up June 1st and 9th, you can buy one from her yourself. Get it signed. Add it to your collection.

Yep. I love Rene.

Stella on a hottie Binge... the muse is upon me!

Ok soo.... I have been watching WAY too many movies... while that normally is a good thing, Im also inclined to watch movies with the physical representation of the characters I and my sister write. So it gets a little tedious. Needless to say i have watched some REALLY disturbing films becoase of my characters avies... but sometimes its so worth it... So Here I'm going to blog about the top 10 actors we love....


Johnny Depp: Duh. Most women put him up top, and why not wouldnt you want him on top too? a sexy gifted 'omg hes so hot i wanna lick his skin off' kinda guy to haunt your dreams and fantasies? Our top pick movies for him: From Hell, Blow, Pirates, The 9th Gate.
His character from Eververse: Fallon Ipwisk.

Our top pick for movies: Alexander(yeah im so looking past the gay element), SWAT, The New World (its the tattoos and hotness that gets me in that horrible flick)
His Character from Eververse: Drake


Christain Bale: Ok... the man is flat out perfect. I mean hes sexy as all get out, and has played so many kinda of roles, and his accent is divine. not to mention hes totally in love with his wife... and is one of the hottest men on the planet. Yep. total love for him. not to even mention(but i will) that seeing him completely nude and running around with a chainsaw covered in blood in American Psycho brought whole new meaning to my interest in the male form when i was younger..
Our top pick of movies: American Psycho, Equilibirum, The Prestige
His Character from Eververse: Cassiel



Ryan Reynolds: HOT HOT HOT! and i dont do the hard body 'bigger boobs then i do' kinda guys but dear lord the man is beautiful. And hes a very amusing actor too. Pretty? hell yeah even if i remember his origins on the Nickelodeon teen soap FIFTEEN.
Top pick of Movies: Blade trinity, Amityville Horror, Waiting His Character from Eververse: Arcady Morrison

Sean Bean: yep, i ike me some old, 'always a better villain' Sean Bean. hes yummy,sexy and a woman could get tingles when he says the word "strawberry" with his real accent. *shivers* Hes a rough kinda hot... So you gotta love him.

Top Pick movies: Deep Blue Sea, the Punnisher

Needless to say... Theres more but i had to pick 10.... food for thought though really, i mean People ask Aud and I how we write so quickly, and im sometimes loathe to tell them that if you had a steady stream of Hottie action on screen wouldn't you never lose your muse? Sometimes all you need is to curl up with a good movie and the muse starts talking... its my author tip of the day... get yourself a hit actor and drool for an hour or two.. all of a sudden, the possibilities are endless.

Stella and the ugly worm

The ugly worm. I want one. he wants to live with me. he does ask him... he needs to hangout with me and help in my plans of world domination. My birthday is coming up, and Joe wont get me him. Poo.
