* I have a new release date and cover to share!  Unforgiven, the second Raveneaux Vampire romance will be available March 8th from www.liquidsilverbooks.com

     Cover artist Christine Griffin rocked this one, folks.  I've never had my characters come so perfectly to life! (And I was shakin' in my shoes because I couldn't imagine anyone being able to touch my wicked Dillon.  I worried for nothing.  Look at those eyes! Happy sigh~)

  *I just signed my third contract with Samhain Publishing!  My editor loves Perfect Stranger...I hope you will too;> Here's a peek at it's premise:

“Silk Jones” is caught in a Relocation nightmare: new home, new job, new friends…new dimension.  There’s no doubt she has enough to worry about without adding a by-the-book FBI agent to that list.

     Davis Rule doesn’t believe in little green men.  When he’s assigned to Sightings duty on the heels of an interdepartmental shake up, he’s determined to get in and out of the assignment without so much as a dedicated Ufologist slowing him down.  Unfortunately for Davis, little green men sometimes turn out to be almost six feet of knockout blonde quite capable of knocking him out.

     Different worlds, different styles, different backgrounds and way different goals, Silk and Davis are in over their heads from the first time she literally knocks him off his feet.  Silk just wants to punish those responsible for killing her partner.  Davis just wants to get back to the office.  In, PERFECT STRANGER, they both discover that what you want is often something you’re forbidden to have.     

  *I'm pleased to announce that my first erotic romance is now available in print.  Captured takes my usual "heat with heart" and turns it up to scorching. (Must be eighteen years old or older)

* Exciting news for me this weekend and it's news that means I owe all my readers a big thank you! Enemy Mine hit # 4 on the My Bookstore and More bestsellers list...all because of you.

  *   I just finished edits and cover art forms for my next project for Samhain Publishing.  A sexy cougar shapeshifter novella that's tied to the ancient mythology of the Cherokee people.  In ENEMY MINE, a woman hungry for life discovers appetites she can’t control when she’s stranded in the mountains with a powerful shape shifter who has passion in his veins and forever in his dreams.  Can sworn enemies be mates in a world determined to keep them apart?

~Check back here for a glimpse at the cover and release date information when it becomes available;)

 *   I'm happy to announce that Dillon, the dark and dangerous vampire from my book HUNGER is going to be featured in a novella of his own.  Dillon's story, "Unforgiven", will be available from LIQUID SILVER PRESS. 

     The problem with fighting evil is that it often comes in a very pretty package. 

     Dillon is a rogue vampire with rock star style and a cowboy’s whisky-kissed drawl.  He also has a penchant for nicotine, vodka and women—especially women.  Jade is pure, untouched and focused.  Orphaned when vampires massacred her family, she’s been trained as an elite Haven’s Warrior.  Sheltered in a remote mountain temple, Jade has known nothing but discipline her entire life. 

     Dillon is as undisciplined as they come.

     There’s a certain tedium to immortality.  You’ve kissed one girl.  You’ve kissed them all.  Not so, Dillon finds, when he tastes Jade’s lips.  Life’s a bitch and then you don’t die.  He’s been through hell more than once in his two hundred and fifty years, but this is perhaps the cruelest blow of all—to have become a monster who craves a woman’s trust.

 ~Dillon is a seductive character...one that wouldn't let me go.  I'm so excited about this project and I can't wait to share it with readers who have been asking what happens to the wicked & sexy vampire villain introduced in HUNGER.
