Demon Forged received a Reviewers’ Choice nomination in Paranormal Fiction. Too awesome. Congrats to my fellow Odd Shots authors, Ilona and Nalini, for their nominations. (Luckily, we aren’t in the same categories, or it’d be ALL OUT WAR! Tee hee.)
…at AAR. Ms. Bishop, the reviewer, hadn’t read any of the Guardian series before Demon Forged, so the DIK surprised me (I know there is a LOT of backstory in this series) but I’ll take it 🙂 And it strikes me again how much freaking work reviews are. On Twitter, Robin (Janet of Dear Author) […]
Whatever you do … don’t read the ending first. “A dark, gripping read…the characters are brilliant, and the breathtaking romance, vivid setting and darkly delicious adventure will immerse readers in this spellbinding world until the satisfying conclusion. ½” —RT Book Reviews ISBN 0425230414 | October 6, 2009 Amazon.com ~ Borders.com ~ BN.com ~ Powells.com
First up, I’m guesting over at True Romance, where I’m also giving away 20 copies of Demon Forged to random commenters. The Book Binge has a review and a Demon Forged giveaway. Rosario has her review up. (And I didn’t make this in time for the acknowledgements, but she also helped me with my Spanish […]
First up — VampFanGirl is having a week-long (actually, nine days) Guardian review and giveaway extravaganza! First up is Hot Spell and “Falling for Anthony,” tomorrow will be a review and giveaway for Demon Angel, and on Wednesday … well, you get it. Did she love love love “Falling for Anthony”? Well…not exactly. 😉 See who […]
Oh, wow. I can’t believe Demon Forged releases in only a few weeks. So here is a little bit (from a few chapters in, to avoid spoilers). *** Their argument hadn’t gone unnoticed. Beyond the mouth of the hallway, Becca sat curled on one of the common room sofas, pretending to read. Though the novice’s […]
I know I said I’d give 24 hours notice that I’m closing the contests, but I just realized that WordPress automatically closes the comments after a certain length of time, so some people haven’t been able to enter. So I’m going to be closing both on Monday night at midnight, which gives everyone a little […]
I am having massive internet issues lately, so checking my e-mail has been iffy … and so has going online. So I forgot to mention that I’m guest blogging today over at Urban Fantasy Land (and as soon as I hit a better wireless service that I’m not stealing from my neighbor, I’ll be responding […]
Since the hair pulling came up on twitter, this is an example of what I’m talking about: “If you win your fight to understand me, perhaps you will tell me why, after all of these years, it is you. You, with your way of looking down upon me, and with your raw pride.” Her hand […]
…just fell into place. Now I’m not fighting him any more, but it means some rewriting (but not too much, whoo hoo, because the key emotional elements are already there.) This was one of those things that you KNOW is there, lingering in the back of your head regarding motivation, and you KNOW something is […]
DEMON FORGED (which you might remember was the original title on the sidebar, before I changed it — it is now changed back.) Also, don’t forget about THE ITALIAN GOURMET BABY FOOD BARON’S IRONICALLY PREGNANT VIRGIN MISTRESS! Yesterday, Tumperkin posted her powerful Chapter 3; today, Bettie Sharpe exposed her shocking Chapter 4! Mama mia!
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 […]
