Release Date for Twice as High

Twice as High will be published by Liquid Silver Books on June 28, 2010.

Madeline Crane’s life just got interesting. Within the span of a month, she turned her bosses in for money laundering and won the lottery. Now she’s having strange erotic dreams about sexy men with wings. But it’s just a dream, right?

Wrong. When Julian and Kyle show up, they send Maddy into a tailspin. Suddenly, she’s having psychic episodes that afford her glimpses of Julian and Kyle in situations much too personal for comfort. Then the pair reveal they are actually aliens banished from a distant planet, and Maddy has to wonder if she’s losing her grip on reality. To make matters worse, someone has put a hit out on her.

Now Maddy has to stay safe, stay sane, and try to figure out where she fits between these two winged warriors.

You can find excerpts here and here.

Charlotte’s Younger Man now available

For sale now at Liquid Silver Books

Neither “past life experience” nor “pretty, pierced twenty-something” are on the agenda for legal aide Charlotte Kelley’s thirty-fifth birthday. She’d planned dinner with friends, opening of gifts, a few hours’ work investigating potential trademark violations at an area snuggle party, and a quiet moment with her vibrator before bed.

Journalism grad student and features reporter Heath Breck is working on an assignment, not scouting for a MILF. Women who attend snuggle parties are not his type and women who shop at Jones New York instead of Old Navy are totally out of the question—too expensive, too high-maintenance, and too intent on bedtime by 11 p.m.

A token from Charlotte’s childhood and a circle-of-friends ritual, however, make for a significant change in both partygoers’ plans.

Now Available in Print from Freya’s Bower

Cora Phillips may have witchcraft in her blood, but she’s convinced she inherited the recessive rather than the dominant trait. When Cora, through clumsy fumblings to “get in touch with her goddess”, calls a pair of ancient dragons into her meditation circle, she swears the summons was a mistake.

Mistake or not, two dragons and their keepers gather to answer her mating call.

She quickly learns neither dragon keepers nor dragons are willing to share. As dangerous, beautiful Salim Aridi and his rival Greg Cho set out to claim her she finds herself embroiled in sinister schemes and dangerous power plays. Caught between the dragonkeepers and their legendary aspects, she does the only thing she can and flees the complicated steps of the dragon dance.

Escape is short-lived. Before long, the dragons demonstrate just how meaningless human distance really is and return to remind Cora that dragon ties are not so easily broken.

Deceptions begin to unravel as Cora attempts to disentangle herself from family and lovers in order to pursue the truth of what she is, accept the reality of what she must be, and become dragon bound.

Available now from Freya’s Bower

Twice As High Coming Soon from Liquid Silver Books

Coming soon from Liquid Silver Books, Twice As High.

Madeline Crane’s life just got interesting. Within the span of a month, she turned her bosses in for money laundering and won the lottery. Now she’s having strange erotic dreams about sexy men with wings. But it’s just a dream, right?

Wrong. When Julian and Kyle show up, they send Maddy into a tailspin. Suddenly, she’s having psychic episodes that afford her glimpses of Julian and Kyle in situations much too personal for comfort. Then the pair reveal they are actually aliens banished from a distant planet, and Maddy has to wonder if she’s losing her grip on reality. As if that weren’t enough, the reason they showed up is deadly serious: someone has put a hit out on her.

Now Maddy has to stay safe, stay sane, and try to figure out where she fits between these two winged warriors.

Release Day for Trusting Destiny – February 9

February 9, 2010, is the official release date for Trusting Destiny, my new contemporary available through Freya’s Bower.

Maggie Cassavetti is searching for answers, and Dr. Eric Larsen is the man to help her find them.  Her mother believed that the heirloom pendant helped its wearer find true love, but Maggie doesn’t buy it.  What interests her is the history – the topaz is supposed to be a Biblical artifact, and the antique family Bible hints at extreme age.  But meeting Eric changes things.  The attraction that flares between them is hotter, faster, more intense than she could possibly anticipate.  Was it simple chemistry?  Or was it something more?  As Maggie and Eric work together to uncover the history behind the family lore, Maggie begins to believe that there may be something to the power of the stone:  something that she won’t soon let go.

I’m really excited to share Eric and Maggie’s story – I hope you like it too.

Mating Call Audio DEMO Available

Click the pretty picture for a brief reading of Mating Call, coming March 2010 to AudioLark

Mating Call coming to AudioLark in 2010

I’ve had a bit of a busy couple of weeks on the business side of things. My paranormal romance trilogy Dragon Queen is at the center of all the fuss. In early spring 2010, look for MATING CALL to appear in audio format available at AudioLark – I hope to have more related news soon to share about DRAGON DANCE and DRAGON BOUND.

Holiday Blog Tour

Since the Halloween Blog Tour was such a success, we thought we’d do another for the Winter Holiday Season. Christmas, Eid al-Adha, Hanukkah, Kwanzaa, Solstice, whatever you prefer to celebrate.* In honor of the winter holidays, we’ll be doing a Holiday Blog Tour December 11. Like the last one, if you visit the blogs on the tour and leave comments at each site, you’ll be entered to win the grand prize drawing. Also, like the last one, we’ll be doing a site contest in addition to the tour prize give-away.

The on-site contest will have two winners. This Fire (in Hearts Afire:December from Liquid Silver Books) releases December 7, so one contest (box of 20+ books) will be related to content of the book. The second prize will be a copy of the Hearts Afire anthology for those who haven’t yet read it.

We look forward to seeing you at the blog tour, and wish you good luck!

*If I missed a winter holiday in my alphabetical list, let me know and I’ll rectify the oversight.
