Cravings to be released in print

Thanks to the great response from readers on the ebook version, I'm thrilled to announce that Cravings will be pairing up with Vampire Close, a great story by Susanne Saville, and will be released in print from New Concepts Publishing in late August. I'll post more on the details later.

Coming Soon

Jaguar Moon - Scent of a Mate will be released in late August from New Concepts Publishing. Here's a sneak peak at the blurb:

Deep in the rain forest of Southern Belize, high in the Maya Mountains, live the Jaguar people. Descendants of the ancient Maya, they are Nahual, born to walk as cat and man.

Devante, prince of the Jaguar, carries the blood of Itzamna, the Jaguar Sun. In order to inherit the throne and save his people, he must join his line with that of Ixchel, the Jaguar Moon. Only one carries this blood.

Miakoda is Leguar, born into a new race of hybrid cats. Half jaguar and half leopard, she was banned at birth by the jaguars for her tainted blood. Now she must join with their prince in order to save the hybrid cats from the monster that created them.

Together, they must find a way to join their two worlds when the species have spent a lifetime hating each other. That is the least of their problems. The hybrids are spread out, alone and being hunted. They are not only turning rogue in trying to deal with their own inner wars, but are disappearing at an alarming rate.

In order to defeat the evil threatening their people, Devante and Miakoda must risk everything. But at what cost will victory come?

Sun, Sand and Motivation

It has become apparent that I don't get much writing done during the summer months. Coming off a four day weekend I thought about what I'd accomplished. We caught up on yard work, opened the pool and spent time time with the kids. One day was spent visiting with friends, grilling out and using the pool. All in all, not a bad four days by any standards.

But my page count was zero. Its not that I don't have the story jumping around in my head, I just can't seem to get it on paper. Once I'm in front of the computer I'm either pulled away or my mind goes blank. It could be me, or it could be my characters. I'm blaming it on the sun.

I'm writing Malcolm's story. He has proven to be difficult to say the least. The first two women I brought on stage failed miserably. The first one worked for about thirty pages. Then I realized there was no attraction between the two, just fondness and concern. More like a brother. Yikes! The second one, well, he nearly killed her. Then he stopped talking to me completely. When he got over it and introduced his heroine to me all I could do was say 'no way.' He wasnt listening.

We've compromised. He's telling the story and I'm writing it. Or trying to. I've got to get motivated, stop listening to that evil side of me that says 'it's summer, you should be in the pool.' I'm wishing for rain!
