Cover Reveal: Blood to Fire

Tonight, despite the blizzard outside, the cockles of my heart are blazing: I Haz Cover Art! One thing I love about indie publishing: It allows me control of imagery and branding for my books. And Gayla is awesome to collaborate with in the process of refining graphic ideas and how they might play in our…

Hump Day Hook: Red Slaves 2 – Blood to Fire #HDH Take 4

Blood to Fire is with my editor now, I’m anxiously awaiting her feedback, and I’m working on cover art development with my fabulous publisher. So, to keep myself from bouncing off the walls too much as I complete the final steps in producing my third novel, I will share another snippet from the book. In…

Hump Day Hook: Red Slaves 2 – Blood to Fire #HDH Take 3

I’ve started the critique and editorial process on Blood to Fire, and am getting more and more excited about sharing the final result with you in a few weeks. In the meantime, you get to make do with yet another snippet: You ask so many questions at once it’s difficult to get a word in…

Hump Day Hook: Red Slaves 2 – Blood to Fire #HDH … Reprise

I’m plunking along on Blood to Fire, so you get another sneak peek this week: “At some point soon, we’re going to have to take a trip in to Omsk. The Christmas market is a lot of fun, and it’s been forever since we’ve been to the banya together.” I laugh. “You have either a…

Hump Day Hook: Red Slaves 2 – Blood to Fire #HDH

I’m getting so close to the end of book 2 of my Red Slaves series, it’s getting exciting. And since it has me in its claws, will be going to my editor in two weeks, and is coming out in a little more than a month… I thought it was time to start building some…

Hump Day Hook: Last Supper #HDH

I took a break from Red Slaves last week and started something completely different. In the midst of seasonal family revelries, my head was someplace darker, and I started working on a new short story. This is planned to be one of several short stories that form part of a second go at a Katarr…

Book Review: Blindsight

I read my first Nolan book over a year ago, and had thought to delve deeper into her Mirus world quite a bit sooner… As they say, life got in the way. Last night, I was overnighting in a hotel, avoiding the blizzard conditions outside, awaiting the second day of a work-mandated training. Since I…

Book Review: Steel’s Edge

Ilona Andrews is another one of my favorite urban fantasy authors. This husband-wife writing team caught me in their snare when I read Magic Bites shortly after its original release. Since then, I’ve watched for all their new releases, and haven’t yet been disappointed. I took advantage of my Amazon Prime status, and received this…

Hump Day Hook: Blood to Fire #HDH

One of my crit pals, Sarah Cass, recently shared this meme by Kerrianne Coombs as another way of promoting our Works in Progress. The idea is to share a paragraph or two of what’s in train (or, what’s already published). Because it’s a blog hop, too, you get the chance to see what a bunch…

Book Review: Fair Game

I knew after I read the first Mercy Thompson book that I was going to be a Patricia Briggs fan; she writes interesting, complex, female protagonists and sets her stories in livable worlds. I had been waiting and waiting for this latest installment of the Alpha and Omega series, since I didn’t want to break…
