First — I’m looking for someone who can verify an Italian translation for me. The dirtier the Italian you know, the better. It’s only a few lines from my current manuscript; I just need to make sure that the word choice/grammar is correct. Any takers? Send me an e-mail or leave a comment. (As soon […]
The Celebrate Romance conference was awesome, even though I didn’t go to all of it. MUST LOVE HELLHOUNDS is available for pre-order, and I’ve sent back copy-edits for the story. ANGELS’ BLOOD is out. It’s darker than Nalini’s Psy/Changelings, so don’t be surprised by that — and with a hero that brings to mind Anne […]
So today, I struggled mightily with a scene. It’s one of those scenes that need to be there (also known as the CHARACTERS EXPLAIN TO SOMEONE WHAT HAS HAPPENED IN THE LAST BOOKS SO THAT THE READER CAN ALSO CATCH UP scene). In books like mine, there comes a point early where I have to […]
I haven’t written a character like this before. It’s an interesting balance — because her anger can’t always come out violently and she can’t always be surly, or it would be hard to care about her romance or her story (I think angry heroes have it easier than angry heroines). So it’s shaping a lot […]
Thank you, Amie Stuart. Go here for awesome recipe for Thai-ish chicken. I am sick with some freak not-quite-a-head-cold-and-not-quite-the-flu-but-I-feel-like-shit-regardless thing, and writing. The latest novella rewrite is going well, and because I’m finally happy with the conflict and characters, it will be the final draft until the tweaks and such that I have to do […]
I’ve got two ARCs of my November release to give away! These are ARCs that are printed before the final copies, complete with a few typos and a plain yellow cover. And, as usual, I ask that if you win the ARC, to please write a review somewhere within two weeks or so of the […]
You never forget your first blood… Susan Sizemore returns to the universe of her Laws of the Blood novels with a sizzling story of the relationship between a vampire enforcer and a werewolf. Erin McCarthy’s Sasha Checkikov flees the bright lights and dangerous slayers of Vegas for New Orleans, where she is saved by a […]
Just to clarify: I will be at RWA, but not at the literacy signing. I will be at the Berkley signing at 3pm on Friday — which is only, I believe, for conference attendees. I’ll update my main page with the conference room number of the signing as soon as I find it. First Blood […]
Because it relies too much on having read Demon Night. Another exchange will take its place. But I’ll post it here. 🙂 *** “Miss Charlie, your city is safe for one more day.†Drifter settled into the stool next to Jake. “And it seems to me I know a novice who’d also benefit from a […]
Including the DEMON BOUND excerpt (if you missed it in the comments of a few posts back 😆 ) Also, there are DEMON BOUND bookmarks now (back and front pictured at left) e-mail me (or use the contact link farther left) with your address, and I’ll send them out to you on my next trip […]
AAR’s Annual Poll is still ongoing (until mid-February). Apparently, voting is slowing down early — don’t forget to cast your vote for your favorite book of 2007 (but, uh, not just that favorite book, because you have to enter several categories, and straight-ticket ballots are deleted, I think.) Okay, and this is interesting — it […]
It’s going to be a busy writing month for me, so I won’t be posting too much (except for contests and such, and a long-winded post about covers), but I thought I should start the New Year off right — with a bit of Ethan. So here’s an excerpt from Demon Night (it follows the […]
