Bunch of Stuff
First of all, be sure to stop by Writeminded to visit author Cassandra Curtis, and leave a comment to win a copy of her newest book!
Second, looks like I'll be participating in an RT workshop next year! My first! No doubt I'll sit there and look like a moron, but hey, at least I'll be sitting with some really cool authors!
The workshop is called DEMONS UNPLUGGED, and here's the blurb: Demons are popping up in many romances but few authors are treating them as a race or as primary characters. Hear from several innovators of this dark fantasy subgenre who will discuss the difference and how you can create a demon race of your own.
The other panelists are: Stella Price, Jacquelyn Frank and Jenna Black, and the workshop is moderated by Bianca D'Arc. Very cool!
I'm still working on the downloadable demon compendium that lists and explains the demon species found in my Demonica world. I should have up on my site soon (definitely before Desire Unchained releases,) and I'm having a cover designed for it. Yay! I'm also going to be putting up a free read — erotic horror. Fun! 
Okay, off to get some work done. I got SO behind in the last two months while I was on vacation and then buried under revisions. Now I'm playing catch-up.
Hope all is well with you and that you're able to get lots and lots of reading in!

Almost Done!
I feel like I've been living in a cave for the last few weeks! I've been head down, not looking up while I finish revisions to Passion Unleashed. The good news is that I'll be turning it in on Tuesday. YAY! It's almost done!
In other news…well, there really isn't any news. Things have been sailing along — school started for the kid, and he's hating it, naturally. Middle school is a big change…and this middle school is HUGE. Bigger than my high school. He's a little lost. 
Hope y'all are having a nice weekend! I'll be back next week with pics — finally! *g*

Ann Aguirre Does Pleasure Unbound
OMG — this is just so cool…Ann Aguirre, author of Grimspace and Wanderlust, is giving away two copies of Pleasure Unbound on her blog. Which is super awesome, but even more awesome is that she loved the book! She says:
"What an amazing book! I’ve never read anything so delicious in my life. The writing … lovely, powerful, evocative and edgy. The characters? Strong, compelling and memorable. The plot? Tight as a drum, break-neck pace."
Yay! There's more, in which she uses the word, "genius." Really. I know, I know, anyone who knows me is laughing (shut up, Stephanie.)
So anyway, check out her post and enter the contest, and while you're at it, poke around her site — she's got a new urban fantasy series coming out that I've been dying to read.
Thanks again, Ann! I'm ready to barter…

Now, it's back to Wraith's book…which is nearly done with the revisions. Yay!
Oh, and I have to pack for the weekend. Blech.

Second Printing! (And stuff)
So Stephanie and I got fabulous news from Bantam Dell yesterday — Seduced By The Storm, which has only been out a month, is going back to a second printing! Woot! Thank you so much to everyone who has bought the Sydney Croft novels…this is just a dream!
Also, getting ready to head out on vacation! It'll just be a couple of nights, but it should be fun. We're meeting up with Stephanie and her family in the Outer Banks, NC, for a couple of days at the beach. I'm taking boxes of Sydney Croft books with me to make her sign. All of them. I figure she's going to have some nice hand cramps by the time she's done.
Still working on revisions to Wraith's book. The good news is that I'm about 2/3rds done. The bad news is that I still want to beat that boy. Of course, he might like that. Grr.
Okay, off to work. Hope your week is going well!

PASSION UNLEASHED
So last night I posted the cover of Desire Unchained…and now I'm posting the second of my new covers! This one is for the third book in the Demonica series…Wraith's book:
Forbidden Temptations…
Serena Kelley is an archaeologist and treasure hunter—and a woman with a secret. Since she was seven, she’s been the keeper of a powerful charm that grants her health and immortality . . . as long as she stays a virgin. But Serena isn’t all that innocent. And when a dangerously handsome stranger brings her to the brink of ecstasy, she wonders if she’s finally met the one man she cannot resist.
Fatal Desires…
Wraith is a Seminus demon with a death wish. But when an old enemy poisons him, he must find Serena and persuade her to give him the only known antidote in the universe—her charm. Yet, as she begins to surrender to his seductions, and Wraith senses the cure is within his grasp, he realizes a horrible truth: he’s falling for the woman whose life he must take in order to save his own.
* * *
Seriously, I have been SO lucky with my covers. I love this!
Also, today I'm over at Writeminded with a contest, so pop over!
