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.

Holiday Blog Tour Is Coming!

We’re participating in another blog tour – also with other LSB authors. It’s the same gig as last time. Tour the blogs, leave a comment at each, and be automatically entered to win prizes. Like last time, there are tons of prizes, and we will be giving away site prizes in addition to the Tour prizes.

The tour will be this Friday 12/11 from midnight to midnight Eastern time.  Join us! Win stuff!

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.

This Friday, Scorched Sheets will be taking part in Liquid Silver’s Halloween Blog tour. There are prizes galore (for up to 7 winners!). In order to be eligible to win, simply visit every site on the tour and comment on the tour post. Winners will be chosen randomly from all eligible commenters. Hooray!

Look at the PRETTY!

The cover for Hearts Afire December is here! (You can’t see me, which is probably a good thing, because I’m doing the Snoopy Happy Dance.) As soon as I figure out how to resize this sucker, I’ll put it all over the site.

This will release December 7 from Liquid Silver Books and features our story This Fire as well as Firestorm on E’Terra by Ella Drake. Enjoy!

New Coming-Soon, New E-Publisher

Elise and I recently contracted our collaborative novella THIS FIRE to Liquid Silver Books. THIS FIRE will be available December 7. For more information and an excerpt, visit our blog.

Literary Nymphs Reviews All the Women in Pearl

“Emily Ryan-Davis adds a dose of action and suspense, but allows the focus to remain on the reunited couple. All the Women in Pearl flows at a moderate pace from the beginning to end, while bringing old and new characters into this latest installment.”
