Some news updates
I'm combining my blog for Ravyn and here. I simply can't manage so many blogs at once.
 I was commissioned to create coverart for a dark romance anthology for www.dark-romance.com. I'm pleased that they asked and it is on display on their website. Actually, the woman in charge just loved the pentacle and goth woman in my logo, so I redid the compsition for her. I hope to add a short to the antho as well, a fallen angel story tentatively called "Dark Intents".
 I was also asked to create a new cover image for my friend Sultry Summers and her first erotic novella, Gift of the Nightflyer. This is available at Swanbeauty Publications at www.swanbeautypublications.com.
I'm excited about September around the corner. It means a whole lot of things are coming. Writing as Ravyn Blackwood, Operation SpaceQuest: Episode I will start my space adventure serial. I'm excited and curious how people will like it.I personally love it. Dorian is my ultimate hero--brains, braun and a great sense of humor. To me, a man is to die for if he can make me laugh. The Jackal can definietly do that, among other things...
Then in my home life, we get a new living room. We are priming the walls at the moment. We should have our new couch and new carpet in by the end of the month. Yay!
Then, I'm taking a bit of detour and persuing digital art as a sideline. I am purchasing Poser 5 and planning on designing some more covers in the future. Well, after I play with it for a while. Don't worry folks, I'm still writing. Art is my way to relax. I actually plot while doing it.
No news on the Brava entry. Or at least, I'm not among the first four finalists. Oh well. There are weeks to go (2 a week), so there still is a chance. However, even if I don't final, I will finish up the novella I planned and send it in to them. Why not? I'm not one to be destroyed so easily. It goes with my saying, "Faith in thyself." If you write and hope to make it big (or even just get published), you have to believe in yourself.
Ok, I'm off to work on SPIRIT OF THE MOON a bit.

Kat Felinni is the descendant of the Egyptian priestesses of Bast and gifted with the Powers of the Cat. She uses those powers to become Lady Sheba, a shapeshifting super-heroine.
Unfortunately, her life is a lonely one, especially when she longs for her cool-mannered boss, Dr. Seth Malvoy, a curator at the N. Y. Metropolitan Museum of Art. Seth is secretly attracted to Kat, and just when he decides to follow his heart, a dark force turns his life around. Set, the evil Egyptian God of Chaos, has been trapped for centuries within The Eye of Horus, a gold vessel on loan to The Met from the Cairo Museum. Intrigued by its beauty, Seth examines it only for a secret compartment to open, releasing Set. Taking over Seth's body, Set plans his revenge for the centuries of entrapment. One force, however, stands in the way--Lady Sheba.........Find Out More at http://amberquill.com/LadySheba.html
At the Literary Nymphs website, LADY SHEBA is featured in the Passion Pages! Check it out at Literary Nymphs http://pages.ivillage.com/literarynymphs/ Yep, there's an excerpt too! You might want to look for that wise cracking cat, Nathaniel, while you are there as well.
I'm working on the sequel SANDS OF SEDUCTION and it will (hopefully) be coming out early 2005.

Deeper Than Desire antho/Mistress of Midnight
Mistress of Midnight is still #1 at Ebookad. I am totally amazed about that. And my good friend Isabella Jordan is #2 with her historical erotic romance, Woman in Chains. I read that one and really liked it. I have a feeling Isa is a talent that is destined for greatness.
Plans are in the works for my one author antho to include the following: The Haunting, Moonlight Rendezvous with a Vampire, Another Chance and Christmas Magic. I'm very excited about that. I've had so many requests for Moonlight to come out, so plan on it to be included in this antho. We may throw in Ante Up as well.
This is the thrid week for the Vampire Contest with Jeya Jenson, Tyler Blackwood and myself. Enter now. Search for the icons.

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.
