Some news
Mistress of Midnight is in the top 5 Erotic Best Sellers at Ebookad. Wow! My first time to have a best seller there! Mistress ofMidnight is loosly connected to the Descendants of Darkness series as it debuts a coming Descendant, Diablo.

I am going through Raife and putting the final touches on it before sending it into AQP. The release should be right on time, so no worries there.

I am going to try and update this blog more often, hopefully everyday. So, look for the latest news here. Feel free to respond to these posts too.

Leonardo is out
Topic: New releases
I know people have been waiting (patiently and impatiently) for the release of the third installment to the Descendants of Darkness series. Well, the wait is over. Leonardo is now OUT!

Meanwhile, I am working on Raife (shame on me) and hope to have it done soon. After that, I'll be taking a short break from vampires (at least the blood sucking kind) to work on the sequel to Lady Sheba. The villian in Sands of Seduction is a type of vampire, so that should appease fans. I worked on it a bit today and this should be a quick write. I have the entire thing plotted out in my brain, I just need to get it down on paper...er...computer.

Look for the following to come out this summer:

MASKED LOVER: THE LONE RANGER - Amber Brief(TM) (ebook - short contemporary)
DESCENDANTS OF DARKNESS: RAIFE - (ebook - paranormal/vampire short story)
DESCENDANTS OF DARKNESS, Vol. 1 (trade paperback*)
ANOTHER CHANCE** - (ebook - contemporary novella)
LADY SHEBA** - (ebook - paranormal novella)
THE HAUNTING - (ebook - paranormal short story)

Until later, happy reading!

*Note: I am taking preorders for signed copies of DOD Vol. 1. It is just basicaly a list of who
wants one at this time. No money/deposit is required to just say you want one.

**Extended/revised version from the previous release.

Some updates and chit-chat
It is hotter than hel here in the South already. As my AC fights to cool things off, I'm heating things up with Raife. Let me tell you, this installment to Descendants of Darkness is going to be one hot read. It is different than the others (thank goodness) and quite entertaining. This time, the vampire is seduced into sex, and he's unsure this is the course he should take. How can he fight a beautiful Creole witch set on using him to replenish her magic?

The kids have been all whiney today, so getting much done during their aking hours is difficult. Is it a full moon or something? Sheesh. One just cries for NO REASON. *sigh*

Oh, if anyone listens to Yahoo's LaunchCast, I am on there too. My station is under my ID, marilacroix. It is mainly 80s stuff, as I was an 80s teen.

Anyway, once I finish Raife, I'll be working on Sands of Seduction. I am inspired especially when Lady Sheba is set to come out this summer.

New Descendant?
As I was finishing up MISTRESS OF MIDNIGHT, I was faced with a small problem. I didn't want to say good bye to a few of the characters. So, they are moving to New Orleans to have teir own story. That's right, more Descendants. This time, the vampires name is Diablo, a king of his kind. WIth his friend and mentor, Vlad, they will enter into the scene at the Devil's Talon.

Yeah, the Van Helsing influence is there. I had to write in Vlad Dracul. It was a must. SO I get to drool over Dracula a bit more in my books.

So, I think DIABLO may come into the scen in DAMON and then he'll get his own story either after that or after VINCENTE.

Good news for Descendants fans!

Release news
Topic: Future Releases Updates
Well, the anthology has been approved. Expect Another Chance, Christmas Magic, Now That I Found You and The Haunting to come out in paperback. The anthology will be called Deeper Than Desire.

Looks as if Lady Sheba will come out this year instead of 2005. It is slated for re-release in August! Expect more this time around! Yep, I added to it! A whole new beginning to give more for readers to ponder on, and a glimpse of the sequel, Sands of Seduction. When will the sequel come out? Since the re-release is in August, I am shooting for January 2005! Then both stories will come out in paperback together.

Goodbye to a wonderful lady....
I had sad news last week. Reviewer, Pat McGrew from Road to Romance, passed away from cancer. She had reviewed and raved about my books, even awarding two as Recommended Reads. She was a sweet lady and probably one of my biggest fans. Tracey West, another reviewer and friend, told me how much she enjoyed my books and they talked of the Descendants earlier in April. It gives me joy to know I gave this woman who was so tired and in pain a few moments of joy by reading my books. Thank you, Pat. You will be greatly missed by this author. Bless you and keep on cheering us all on from that cloud in the sky. I know, you'll be the first to get DAMON before anyone.
