Pre-Order GRADY’S AWAKENING

The PRINT version of GRADY’S AWAKENING releases on June 1st, but it’s already on Amazon for pre-order (and I assume a few other places too). Here’s the blurb for the 4th and penultimate (love that word!) installment in the Resonance Mates series…

An alien warrior discovers what it is to love…and to share.

Alien super soldier Grady Prime’s missions routinely lead him in unexpected directions, but his latest assignment-to kill a rogue warrior-is far beyond routine. This time he meets a woman who embroils him in an adventure of the highest order. Love.

Gina has lived among aliens so long, she’s lost her fear of them. She is undeniably attracted to Grady, even though their respective duties force them apart. Then, on a mission to a far-flung outpost, an encounter with a man from her past leaves her torn between her flaming desire for Grady, and her still-simmering love for an old flame.

Jim and his group of human dissidents live in secret, away from alien patrols. He has responsibilities, and covert operations to manage. But when Gina re-enters his life, only one thing matters-being with her.

Brought together by chance, the three form an alliance that pushes the boundaries of desire and make unexpected connections that could save the human race from alien conquerors…

&

PHANTOM DESIRES

All in one place. Pre-order yours today! Here’s the Amazon link and the blurb for all three stories in this book…

Three mortal women discover the loves of their lives… the vampires of their dreams.

One and Only
Vampire Atticus Maxwell stands at the edge of his own oblivion…until the faint heartbeat of a desperately wounded mortal woman calls him back. The terrible crash that almost took both their lives has brought him a woman who just might give him a reason to live again. No barrier to their love seems too great—until they learn the crash was no accident at all…

Rare Vintage
Marc LaTour is drawn to Kelly when she goes to work for the newlyweds Atticus and Lissa at their vineyard. He moves into the mansion on the pretext of needing a place to stay while his own home is remodeled. Then an upstart vampire challenges him to a fight to the death. Kelly is willing to trade her life for his—but can he save her from himself?

Phantom Desires
Dmitri Belakov enters the scorching hot dreams of the woman who just bought the farmhouse that rests above his secret lair. He must either bargain with her or kill her, but she is much too intriguing to dispose of so easily. When he discovers she is his One—his perfect match—he’ll do anything to keep her by his side…forever.

Warning: This book contains three individual tales of vampire lust, sexy neck biting, a little naughty dreamwalking, a touch of ménage action and lots of everlasting love.

Rough Cut by Mari Carr

Just want to plug the new release today from my buddy, Mari Carr. I was lucky enough to read this already and it’s smokin’ hot! Here’s the blurb:

When the screen fades to black, all that remains is love.

Ty Ransome. Reigning king of Hollywood, producer, actor, Look Magazine’s Hottest Man Alive. He has it all—until he reads a book of short stories that touches him in places kept carefully hidden from the tabloid gossip mill. There’s only one way to meet the introverted writer—invite her to Tinseltown to work on a script. The moment he sees her, he realizes why her work haunts him. There’s something missing in his life, and it’s her.

Gwen steps off the plane with reservations. For one thing, her darkly sexual stories are hardly movie material. Then there’s Ty’s reputation as a ladies’ man. Yet she’s won over by his charm and agrees to stay on for a week to get to know him before making her decision. And as the days go by, she discovers there’s far more to Ty than a handsome face.

They eat, drink and breathe the characters in their screenplay, re-enacting scenes that delve into the BDSM realm, setting Ty free to unleash his powerful cravings and exposing Gwen’s deepest needs. Needs she set free on paper…but is not sure she’s ready to make a reality.

HALF PAST DEAD Sighting!

Woo hoo for HALF PAST DEAD! Tamara sent in this great photo of the book on the shelf in a Barnes & Noble in Hillsboro, Oregon. Thanks, Tam!

Thank you to all who have purchased the book. If you’ve seen it in a store, please let me know by replying to this post with the location and details (like how many copies there were, if you remember). I’m super curious to know where/how this is being distributed since it’s my first “NY” published book.

And remember, you can always order it from Amazon, B&N, Borders, Chapters, etc… It’s everywhere!

Depending on how many comments I get on this post, there could be something in it for one of the commentors.

New Year

All in all, 2009 was a good year… at least at first. I got my first “NY” contract for the zombie series, the first book of which was just released (HALF PAST DEAD). Getting that contract was a milestone and I’m so thankful that my Mom was there through every exciting turn of that time in April/May when it was all coming together.

I’m also thankful for the incredible cross-country trip I took with my Mom and Dad in June. She loved road trips and seeing the country with her was so incredibly special. SHE was incredibly special. Definitely a one-in-a-million person that I will always miss.

Which brings us to the latter part of 2009, which absolutely sucked. My Mom discovered something was wrong in late August/early September. The doctors dithered for about a month before giving her the diagnosis of cancer in early October. From there it was all downhill until she passed away on December 23rd from a hospital infection.

I never even contemplated planning her funeral or figuring out what she was going to wear for eternity. This has, without doubt, been the worst time in my life. My beloved Mom – my best friend – has been gone a little over a week now and I don’t know how I’ll ever get used to it.

All I can hope is that 2010 is better. With any luck, my Dad and I will find a new path for our lives. I’ll also be watching the sales numbers of my first NY books closely to see if they’re doing well. Future contracts are riding on the success of these books, so sales on them are a lot more “important” than normal, if I can say it that way.

I hope we all have a healthy, happier 2010. I can’t thank you all enough for the support you’ve given me over the past three months. It really helped me feel less alone and got me through a lot of really tough times. Thanks for being there for me. I hope I can repay the kindness someday and know that you all continue to be in my prayers.

Happy New Year.
