  • Release Day – Launching the Open the Seal Blog Book Tour!

    Release Day – Launching the Open the Seal Blog Book Tour!

    I am so excited!  Today is the release day for Sealed by Fire, our first novel with LooseId LLC.  The cover art is phenomenal, as you can see, and we\’re stoked to be part of the LooseId author community.  Some of the biggest names in romantic fiction work with them and we\’re thrilled to count ourselves among that number.

    Here are five things to be excited about for today\’s release day:

    1. The book is out!  (You HAD to see that one comin\’, I mean, come on.)
    2. The book is… Just kidding.  But the fact that we see our names on the cover and that it\’s available on the LooseId website still gives me chills.  So aside from the fact it\’s available for purchase, just the simple fact that it\’s there is shiver-worthy – \”we wrote that!\”
    3. Every book is a team effort.  Our editor Jana, the cover artist Valerie Tibbs, and the whole team at LooseId made this a reality – thank you!
    4. We streamlined the character list from the original manuscript, which makes this book a lot tighter AND gives us more characters for whom to write sequels.  (Yes, that is a blatant plug – grin.)
    5. The book is out!  Check it out on the LooseId website and enjoy!
    What exciting news do you have this month?  I\’d love to know; please share with me in the comments.
  • Bound By Fire, Coming Soon From LooseId!

    Bound By Fire, Coming Soon From LooseId!

    Rachel and I are so excited!  It\’s official – our book, currently titled Bound By Fire (though that may change as we get closer to the release date) has been contracted by LooseId, the popular digital-first publisher!  We couldn\’t be more thrilled.

    Here\’s a little taste of the book, due out probably this summer (exact date TBA):

    Vanya Demidov has been studying to become a sorcerer. During a frightening ritual, he comes face-to-face with a powerful being, the stuff of dreams. He is betrayed and realizes his master is going to sacrifice him in a quest for power. When the spell goes wrong and his master flees, Vanya is left with the summoned creature and no way to banish him.

    Nash lives for the day he can mete out his revenge on the sorcerer who once tried to enslave him and who has killed those Nash strove to protect. When he sees the portal open again and King once again within his grasp, he jumps at the chance. When the ritual goes wrong and the portal is damaged, Nash is stranded in human form with the young man intended to be his sacrifice.

    Together, they find mutual attraction and a shared goal – to find the evil mage and vanquish him once and for all.

  • Cover Reveal – Tiger Tiger

    Veterinary trauma surgeon and animal empath Sasha Soskoff has found everything he ever wanted with his new partners Neal, Steve and Carlos. Life feels as safe and secure as it can be among a group of ex-Marine tiger shifters. Until a homeless man is found, gruesomely mauled and murdered, near Neal’s BDSM club.

    When it’s determined a rogue tiger did the deed, the jaguars’ accusing eyes turn toward Sasha’s lovers. The precarious balance of peace tips dangerously toward war.

    Neal knows damned well none of his tigers committed the crime. Someone must be in Chicago without his knowledge or permission, and they’d better find him fast before uncertainty and conflict rip the tight-knit band apart from the inside.

    As Sasha struggles to heal the stress fractures forming among his tiger family, he begins to wonder if his dreams of a home, and love, were too good to be true. And it’s precisely that moment the killer strikes at the heart of the tiger clan—Sasha himself.

  • Author Extra for Taking a Chance

    Torquere Press does a pretty neat thing with its author release days: it allows the author, if they wish to, to give an \”Author Extra\” that\’s related to the new release.  It can be anything from an excerpt to an essay or something fun that get readers engaged.

    Rachel and I had fun picking our Author Extra for \”Taking a Chance,\” our short story for the Leather Bound Charity Sips for 2012 to support the NOH8 Campaign.  In the story, our hero Jay offers to cook dinner for Chance Renton, the attractive leather-clad motorcycle rider that gave Jay a ride home.  What better \”Extra\” than a recipe for what Jay made for dinner that night?

    Come on over to the Torquere Press Blog to check it out!

    As part of the Release Day festivities, I have two posts today that I\’d like to share with you.

    The first, Music, Art, and Writing – How The Three Support Each Other, is at the Torquere Press blog today. Please stop by and take a look and, if you\’re so inclined, leave a comment. (I respond to all comments.)

    The second, A Journal of Two Writers – Thoughts From the Other Side of Edits, is at the Torquere Live Journal.  Rachel and I share our thoughts on the editing process now that we\’ve gone through it.

    Enjoy!

  • Emerald Fire Is Out Today!

    I\’m so excited!  Emerald Fire is out today from Torquere Press.

    The harsh desert world of Persis has developed its own customs far from Old Earth. Keepers are cherished as caregivers and helpmeets to Hunters. During Emerald Keeper Teeka’s first Contract with Senior Hunter Brant, disaster strikes. Brant is killed and Teeka is stranded, surrounded by strangers, and unsure of who to trust. A dark and moody Hunter steps forward with an offer of partnership and protection. Teeka wonders what motivates the scarred and solitary Senior Hunter Quill. 

    Both have hidden motives for agreeing, and both are suspicious of each other. But the Great Valley will force them to work together and build a trust born out of necessity and survival. Between the dangers of the harsh desert and the malice of a hidden enemy, Teeka and Quill must learn to believe in each other to find the truth.
