Sweeter Than Wine – 4 Stars from RT!

I’m tickled pink to announce that Sweeter Than Wine was awarded 4 Stars by Romantic Times Magazine in their November issue! Here’s a small portion of what they said:

“D’Arc delivers a paranormal romance with a touch of reality by making her
heroine a battered wife. With vampires, shifters and fey, this book will
satisfy readers’ cravings for supernatural beings.”

Many thanks to the reviewer, Gail Pruszkowski, for the review and her kind words. The book is now out in ebook formats, and will be in print next month, but you can pre-order your print copy now on Amazon.com by clicking here.

If you’re wondering what the book is all about, here’s the blurb and luscious cover…

An abused woman has the power to unite werefolk, fey and vampire against an evil that would see them all dead—if she can learn to love again.

Christy lies near death after a brutal beating by her estranged husband. Her preternatural friends reach a desperate conclusion: The only way to save her is to turn her. Sebastian steps forward to take on the burden of being her Maker.

For him it’s no burden at all. She draws him as no other woman has for centuries. With the help of a werecougar friend, Sebastian teaches Christy about her new life and abilities, making certain she is as strong as he can make her. Only then can she face her abusive ex-husband and put her old life behind her. But Christy’s ex-husband is involved in something more dangerous than any of them had guessed.

Vampire, were, and even a fey knight must work together to put an end to the threatening evil. To overcome her past, help keep the darkness at bay, and fight for a new life with Sebastian, Christy must draw on all of her new-found strength.

Will it be enough?

Over the next few days, I’ll be posting some of the great costumes we saw at RAW 2008. First, the gorgeous (repaired) mermaid dress. As a side note, she wore this to RT and had a slight wardrobe malfunction, but the dress is all fixed now and more beautiful than ever! Can you believe she MADE this herself? Wow.

Home Again, Home Again

Well, I had a blast at Lora Leigh’s RAW! (That stands for Reader Appreciation Weekend. ) I had a great time chatting with fellow authors and readers in a beautiful, relaxed setting. I was floored by all the gracious and kind people who came up to me at the signings to talk about my books. It’s still incredible to realize people are actually reading and enjoying my books.

I took some little videos at the event. As soon as I figure out how to get them to show on this blog, I’ll be sharing them with you. Wish me luck!
