Raife is out...and other chit chat
Descendants of Darkness (Book IV): Raife is now available at Amber Quill Press. I had alot of fun writing Raife and is one of my favorites. Another cat character for you Sheba fans too. Yep, there is a reference to those of you who read the previous edition of Lady Sheba. The new version will be released next month. Also, the paperback of Descendants of Darkness, Vol. 1 will be released in August.

Some sad news for some of you. I had to cut back on my coming projects. Too many stories, not enough time. I am wanting to write longer and can't do that with so many stories to work on. So, I don't sacrifice quality for quantity (not good to do!), I cut back the number of my upcoming books. At the rate I was going, I had myself booked solid into 2008...

Right now I am working on Ante Up, a historical American Western erotic romance (short story). Having alot of fun with it. Actually getting a bit hot and bothered over it. LOL That happens alot. I remember writing Leonardo and that roof sex scene, I think I needed a ice bucket bath after that. Talk about needing relief. You can bet the hubby reapped the rewards.

I will be trying to get some stuff out on a bigger market in the future. Working on a few projects (that weren't slated with AQP) to turn into a major NY pub. I will give updates as more developes.

MISTRESS OF MIDNIGHT is Mistress of Ebookad!
Wow! Mistress of Midnight is #1 at Ebookad for eroticas! Whoooohooooo! This is a first for me. I mean, I had best sellers at AQP (Descendants of Darkness: Leonardo was #1 for the 2nd quarter of 2004), but not at Ebookad. Very awesome.

Thanks to everyone who gave the story a try.

Happy 4th of July!
Hope everyone has a safe and fun filled July 4th. We are having a BBQ here in hot Georgia. Heh...hubby can cook the chicken outside while I stay cool inside with a cold Coke.

Mistress of Midnight is now #2 at Ebookad. Wow! I am still in completel awe. I never expected this book to sell so well and be so well recieved. Thanks to everyone.

Don't forget, check out Another Chance, my latest release at AQP.

I'm looking into advancing my career with a full length novel and submitting to the big boys in NY. I have my eye on Kensington Brava and TOR's new paranormal line. I'm a dreamer, but a determined dreamer to make it all a reality. I may finish up Dragon Knight and submit that to see if I can make a break into the big times. Keep your fingers crossed.

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.
