MOONSTRUCK by Susan Grant
HQN Books, June 1, 2008

PEACE IS FOR LITTLE GIRLS.
And Coalition starship admiral Brit Bandar is one tough woman. A mere intergalactic treaty could never get her to trust the Drakken Horde. There was too much bad blood between the Coalition and the Horde and, for intensely personal reasons, Brit wasn’t sure that she was through spilling it! But now a peaceful accord has made Finn Rorkken, a notorious Drakken rogue, second-in command on her starship – and through some grand cosmic irony – front and center in her thoughts…and her heart.

WARLEADER. PIRATE.
Either title sat easily on Finn’s battle-hardened shoulders. Though second-in-command to “Stone-Heart” Bandar? That would take some getting used to. Peace required as much sacrifice as war, so he’d comply even if his reaction to the gorgeous admiral fell decidedly outside protocol. But would he end up kissing or killing her if the galaxy’s tentative truce turned into all out war?

My Twilight Zones

2008-05-19T09:40:00.000-07:00

Thought I would post my blog from www.shapeshifterromance.worldpress.com. Stop by over there and check out some other fantastic authors. And let me hear from you!

Good Morning. Are you ready for a journey into the unknown? To escape into the life of another and experience the world through their perspective? As a writer it is a journey I make every day. But unlike most people who delve into a story, it isn’t a means for escape for me, but a painful quest. When people ask me if I write between the hours of 9 to 5 everyday, I tell them no. I procrastinate during that time and then I write. Especially today. I think I would do anything to escape these killer revisions I am banging my head against the wall on. Last night I was working until 3AM then up at 6 AM today. I am currently working on books three( Kiss of Darkness) and four (Bride of the Wolf) of my Shadowmen series. They will be released April and May of 2009 and thought I would talk to you today about My Twilight Zones.
My First Twilight Zone is in my books. If you’ve had the opportunity to read either of my contemporary werewolf books, Touch A Dark Wolf or Lure of the Wolf, you’ll know that I’ve set the Shadowmen Series in the fictional town of Twilight, Tennessee. The more I delve into building my paranormal world there the more fun I am having with taking everyday occurences and giving them a paranromal twist. Rain isn’t exactly just rain. Storms are more than just the clashing of warm and cold air, but the hot front of the Gaurdian Forces fighting the cold, evil front of the Fallen Army in the spirit realm. Tornados are more than whirling wind. And the Black Cloud over Hades Mountain…well let’s just say you don’t want that hanging over your head.
I’ve always been fascinated by the notion that the reality of the world is different than we perceive it to be. Of course, it is always slightly different because everyone is an individual and thus has a different perception of reality, but I’m talking about a really different and sometimes shocking suggestion of what a reality might be. I think that when a writer or a movie maker hits the right twist on skewing the world as we know it, they wake people up and get them to start thinking. Stephen King is a master at making you question your world and if the ordinary things in it are really ordinary. The Matix was another winner. But long before these came onto the scene, Rod Serling of Twlight Zone fame and his otherworld tales were there. For generations he has been feeding and expanding our our hunger for stories that take us beyond the limits of our everyday lives into the realm of things unknown to us and make us question life.
So my first question to all of you readers out there is what have you read lately that makes you take a second look at the ordinary world around you and question it?

My second Twilight Zone is my own horror story. It is one that I think almost every writer will at some point in their career agree with. It begins this way…
An ordinary woman enjoying everyday life is suddenly struck by an idea, a supposition of characters and events that would make a great story. But unlike the blessed ones of the population, this woman can’t let that notion of a story fade away into the heavenly graveyard for untold tales. No, she is compelled, driven to write that story. And that compulsion spirals her into a Twilight Zone of hell. Voices from those characters begin to ring in her head and soon those characters are having conversations with each other without a care as to whether the woman is trying to sleep or currently interacting with her own family, or trying to remember where she put the grocery list so she would forget anything at the store when those rude characters start talking in her head again. She can’t take a shower or fold clothes or cook a meal without interuption. This goes on for months at a time until finally the story is told and she writes The End, often with tears of relief streaming from her eyes. She thinks she is free at last. Little does she know she has only just begun the arduous journey of seeing that story told. That story will go on to be ridiculed and rejected and reviled and if she is very unlucky one soul will love that story, pay her a token for it and then have her cut and change that story so that it hardly resembles the original idea that inspired her to begin with. The the story is sent out into the world where the ridicule and rejection begins again. And if she is very, very lucky a few will buy her book, love her story, and tell her and her publisher how much they loved it. The woman, now free of the burden of story, goes back to her ordinary life and as she is trying to enjoy everyday events something happens, she is struck by an idea, a supposition of characters and events and she’s back into the Writers’ Twilight Zone that repeats over and over and over again.
Are there any other writers out there in the Twilight Zone?
Happy Reading and Heaven help the writers.

Genius always shines through!

Wildfires and what love has to do with them.

2008-01-14T11:59:00.000-08:00

This blog will likely be rough because I'm having one of those days where I write a sentence and then go back and write it ten more times because each version isn't as clear and concise as I wish it to be. So my apologies beforehand.

I've been around the romance writing industry for a number of years and I've seen a great many wildfires sweep devestatingly across the genre and its authors. There have been various reasons for these fires. Sometimes the fire isn't necessarily started on purpose by a person, but by accident or a misquided attempt to do the right thing that gets grossly misunderstood. I've seen fires ignited by careless words or actions. Fires started byimproperly aired passionate opinions which then send out sparks to light more fires.
Then there are the fires that start because someone made a serious mistake, such as using the words of another author improperly. In each instant, whatever the cause, this deadly fire takes hold just like one does on dry parched land and soon the world is ablaze, much like the devesation California had to recently face. It's sad and true, but I ask you just how necessary these wildfires really are?

We are all imperfect and we live in an imperfect world. Fires happen. It is unavoidable, but let me ask you this. What would this world be if everyone who encountered a fire chose to feed that fire rather than douse it quickly and quietly? It is a very scary thought, true., but it is exactly what happens with burning words and fiery tongues. They escalate and feed the fires, rather than help a situation and then the witch hunt phenomena takes over, and they sit back wanting to see someone burn.

I ask you, don't we all have a responsibility to throw cooling water on a fire and simply bring it to the attention of those who need to know, rather than spread the fire to the world?

So where does love fit into these wildfires that happen. Besides the fact that as romance writers we are the voice of love, we need to be the responsible party who spreads the cooling water of love and compassion. Fires happen, but they should never become wildfires.

Now that I've had my convulted say on the current wildfire surrounding author Cassie Edwards, I'd like to share with you a fire of a whole different nature.

One hot author and her new book you need to check out.
HEAT OF THE NIGHT by Sylvia Day
ISBN: 978-0061231032
HarperCollins Avon
January 8, 2008
Bad boys are her weakness and no one is as wicked as Connor Bruce…
He is the realization of every woman’s erotic fantasies. Existing in the Twilight between sleep and consciousness, Connor brings them decadent pleasures, fueled by their sexual energy. But violence and strife now tear apart both worlds, and Connor must embark on a perilous quest into the mortal realm … and into the arms of one intoxicating enchantress.
Stacey Daniels has always been attracted to the wrong type of men – and the muscular, Viking-like champion on her front doorstep is no exception. She can hardly believe the wounded warrior is from another world, a world where erotic dreams are needed to survive, a world of terrible danger that has followed him to her home. Connor finds solace in her passion, but only time will tell if he can defeat the dark foe who hunts them … and if Stacey can surrender to the promise he offers with every electrifying touch.

SAVOR ME SLOWLY by Gena Showalter

Her latest mission sends her to rescue Alien Investigation and Removal agent Jaxon Tremain from torture and death. With him, she discovers a passion unlike any other. A passion she was forbidden to know. . .

From the moment they meet in a darkened cell, Jaxon craves her touch. But the machine half of Le’Ace forces her to do things she doesn’t always want to do.

Excerpt Teaser:

For a moment, she couldn’t breathe. Her heartbeat picked up speed, wild, primal. She was naked. He could see every inch of her, every flaw. But her feet were rooted in place, preventing her from striding back into the bathroom for a towel. “What are you doing here?” she croaked. Jaxon’s hot gaze slid over her, down . . .down. . . then back up again, landing on her hardening nipples and staying. His pupils dilated, and he swallowed. “I came to talk.” “My breasts are flattered,” she forced out, “though I doubt they can answer any of your earlier questions.” His eyes snapped up to hers. “You’re the one walking around naked.” “You’re the one sneaking into other people’s rooms.” He pushed out a sigh as conflicted as hers had been inside the shower. “You’re right. I’m sorry. I shouldn’t have looked. I don’t regret it, though.”

HOW TO LOSE AN EXTRATERRESTRIAL IN 10 DAYS, by Susan Grant. On sale July 26, 2007 HQN
Question: Where's the best place to hide an interstellar fugitive? Answer: Suburbia
His internal computers are offline, his former employers want him dead and the Men in Black are after him. Without his cyberpowers, Reef is as weak as a lowly Earthling. He's tried to kill every human he's met--so why on Earth would they help him?
Evie Holloway needs a bodyguard! Her fledgling chocolate business is mistaken as a money-laundering scheme for the mob and the bullets have started flying. But does the suburban soccer mom really want to shelter the alien hit man who almost offed her future brother-in-law?
She is desperate, and Reef is incredibly sexy. "Ten Days," she tells him--but it turns out that ten days just might be long enough to spark a love that's truly out of this world.

» I never intended that the assassin villain from Your Planet or Mine? would come back as the hero of his own book. I actually planned to kill him! I had thought no way is this particular bad boy ever gonna be hero material. Not only was he a career killer, he wasn’t 100% human. He was as cold and heartless as the hardware installed inside his body. It wasn’t until he was settling in for a long night in a vacant warehouse that I saw what he’d been hiding from even me. My sexy, ruthless, extraterrestrial killer was lost and alone, and had every reason to feel that way.
From then on, Reef fascinated me. Knowing what I now did about his background, I was determined to give him the happy ending he deserved. And the heroine he deserved. So, I present to you their story, one that begins in a land far, far away...

kudos
"With her unique blend of science fiction and romance, Susan Grant has created another exciting and touching story. Reef has an interesting, tortured past and his chemistry with Evie is nothing short of steamy. Grant never fails to deliver. I’ve enjoyed each of her books even more than the previous. And this one is no exception. Each of her characters is unique and endearing. And the story includes plenty of romance, action, suspense, and alien technology. I’d like a REEF of my own, please."

MY FAVORITE EARTHLING by Susan Grant
HQN; March 1, 2007

Even a Goddess can have a bad day...Keira, warrior-queen of the galaxy, is as famous for her beauty as she is for avoiding marriage. But when an upstart little planet called Earth threatens her world with its fleet of spaceships, the fate of her people lies in her hands. She must bind herself to a barbarian from the rogue world...or face the destruction of her own!

She's what he never knew he always wanted...Confirmed bachelor Jared Jasper knew the trick Earth pulled on the alien invaders wasn't a permanent solution. What they needed was a peace treaty. It just never occurred to him that he would wind up on the bargaining table. Playing the pushover groom to a mouthy alien babe who knows how to use a plasma sword is not exactly his idea of fun. But with six-billion people depending on him, he doesn't have much choice--sleep with the enemy...or bring on interstellar war.

Strange bedmates? You bet. But this alliance may turn into a romance the likes of which this galaxy's never seen!

DAMSEL UNDER STRESS by Shanna Swendson
May 1, 2007

To-do: Stop the bad guys. Rescue the wizard. Find the perfect outfit for New Year’s Eve.

At last, Owen Palmer, the dreamboat wizard at Magic, Spells, and Illusions, Inc., has conjured up the courage to get Katie Chandler under the mistletoe at the office holiday party. But just when it looks like Katie has found her prince, in pops her inept fairy godmother, Ethelinda, to throw a wand into the works. Ehtelinda’s timing couldn’t be worse. A plot hatched by MSI’s rogue ex-employees, Idris and his evil fairy gal pal Ari, threatens to expose the company’s secrets and the very existence of magic itself. Even worse, it could also mean the end of Katie’s happily-ever-after.

Now Katie and Owen must work side by side (but alas, not cheek to cheek) to thwart the villains’ plans. Braving black-magic-wielding sorceresses, subway-dwelling dragons, lovelorn frog princes, and even the dreaded trip to meet Owen’s parents at Christmas, Katie and her beau are in a battle to beat Idris at his own sinister game. All mischief and matters of the heart will come to a head at a big New Year’s Eve gala, when the crystal ball will drop, champagne will pour, and Katie will find herself truly spellbound.

FANGED & FABULOUS by Michelle Rowen
Warner Forever, July 1, 2007

Just stake me now.

My name is Sarah Dearly, and I've got major problems. Last month, I was turned into a vampire by the world's worst blind date. Then I may have, totally by accident, started a war between the mostly peaceful bloodsuckers and a bunch of sociopathic vamp hunters who have nicknamed me the Slayer of Slayers. Now I'm being used as bait to draw out the hunters' bad-ass leader, while my gorgeous 600-year-old boyfriend Thierry seems to be blowing me off, and my sizzle-hot, fanged friend Quinn is trying to turn my self-defense lessons into make-out sessions. So you know what? I'm done. I've had it. There comes a time when a vamp has to just suck it up and go after what she wants. And as soon as I figure out what that is, that's exactly what I'll do...

USA TODAY BESTSELLER LIST

2007-08-07T09:56:00.000-07:00

YES! LURE OF THE WOLF Hit the USA Today Bestseller list and I have been floating on cloud nine since the news popped up in a email from my editor last week. I was shocked! and so very excited. I have to thank my friends and family for getting together and having Circle of Seven Productions and Shiela English produce a fantastic book trailer for Lure of the Wolf. Photographer Annette Batista went to great links to have Mr. Romance Runner up Ozzie Walle and beautiful model Harmony Oslwald to portray my hero and heroine. They were perfect and the pictures were sizzling! Next I'd like to thank all of you out there who went and bought the book when it hit the shelves. You all made it happen for me and I am forever grateful!

huge thanks and much love

“Different? Unusual?” Aragon asked softly, staring at Annette intently, as if seeing her for the first time. The harshness of his features eased within moments as a sensual light warmed his gaze.
“You are so soft,” he said. “Your touch and your skin.” He slid his thumb down her throat to her collar bone and traced its ridge, making her heart pound and her body heat. She released his wrist and let her hand fall to her side, pressing her palm to the cool wall.
“I’ve never known things such as this fiery interest you ignite inside of me,” he said, brow drawing together. He didn’t look exactly pleased with his attraction.
She could have stopped his exploration, but her senses screamed too loudly for her to do anything but feel. How long had it been since she’d let herself feel anything but determination and guilt?
He leaned in closer and breathed deeply, making her impossibly even more aware of him. “What scent do you cover yourself in?”
“Gardenia,” she whispered, catching her breath as his fingertips splayed across the rise of her breasts, just above the edge of her towel. She arched to his touch before she could think, causing the tucked end of her towel to loosen and dip lower across her breasts barely covering her nipples. Seemingly awed by the feel, he followed the towel’s edge down, caressing the cresting curve of her breasts as his fingers pressed gently into her skin.
The erotically slow exploration had her trapped in a wave of edgy expectation. Her heart hammered with desire and fear, of him, of who and what he was, and of herself. She fisted the bottom hem of the towel in her hand, trying to keep from running her fingers in the silk of his hair or along the hard contours of his chest…and below. The six-pack tapering down to his impressive sex and thighs needed to come with a lethal warning label.
She’d always lived her life under such rigid control, yet here she was, a breath away from exploding. Whether it was the unexpectedness of the situation or the man himself, she didn’t know. She only knew she’d never been this sexually excited before in her life.
He could have easily jerked the towel down further, but he didn’t. Instead, he slid his hand up to finger a long curl that had loosened itself from her customary tight knot. He rubbed it between his fingers, slowly, savoring the feel and driving her need even higher because she wanted that sensual, luring touch…oh just where she burned. If he’d just…a vision of her dropping the towel and backing him to the wall to drive him past this lazy control rushed through her mind.
No. You have no idea what you’re getting into, or who or what he is. This isn’t like you, Annette! You’re disciplined, logical, rational...you’re--

You don't want to miss this sensual read or getting your hands on these hot stories!

PLEASURES OF THE NIGHT by Sylvia Day
ISBN: 0061230987
HarperCollins Avon, April 24, 2007

In the Twilight between sleep and consciousness, a battle rages between Dream Guardians and Nightmares. Captain Aidan Cross is a legend, as skilled in fulfilling erotic dreams as he is with the glaive that kills his enemies. Women see Aidan as part of their fantasies...except Lyssa Bates. Exquisite, desirable, enigmatic Lyssa perplexes this immortal seducer because she sees him as he really is. And as he attempts to unravel her secrets the unthinkable occurs: Aidan Cross falls in love.

Lyssa has been having the most incredible dreams about a man whose blue eyes hold the promise of decadent pleasures and tempting intimacies. And then he appears on her doorstep! This intoxicating stranger is just as irresistible as the man of her dreams...but with her surrender there is also grave danger...

Because Aidan is on a mission, and the passion that consumes them body and soul could have dire consequences. Loving the mortal woman prophesied to destroy Aidan's world is not only impossible...it is forbidden.

NEW MOON by Rebecca York
Berkley Sensation; March 6, 2007

It's in one man's true nature to remain by the side of the woman he loves, rather than live without her in his own universe...
Landscape architect Logan Marshall is out for a jog—in his werewolf form—when a trap catches his paw. As it saps his strength, he is saved by another werewolf, who—to Logan's amazement—is female.
Female werewolves aren't supposed to exist. But Rinna is a shapeshifter from another dimension who's traveled through a portal to this world. And the trap that ensnared Logan was set by her former captor, and meant for her...
But as soon as Rinna and Logan touch, an electrifying bond forms between them. Unable to resist his desire for Rinna, in all her many forms, Logan will have to earn her trust, and travel through both dimensions to save her—and earth—from the wrath of her enemy...

PROTECTOR OF THE FLIGHT by Robin D. Owens
Luna February 1, 2007

The Story:

If horses could fly...

Then Calli Torcher might ride again. But a devastating accident left her in such pain, she thought the chimes and chanting in her ears were a hallucination...until she found herself transported to another world, and met the Lladranans who had Summoned her.

Lladrana was a parallel, magical earth filled with exotic creatures, noble humans and magic– all threatened by an encroaching evil.

And when the might volarans stopped obeying the Chevaliers, the flying horses' unexpected rebellion had thrown Lladrana into an uproar. In desperation, the sorcerers had sought help from afar - and gotten Calli. If she could fulfill this mission perhaps she would also finally find all she had longed for – a mate, a home, a family. But against this great darkness she had no battle experience, no strategy plans. She had only a bond with horses...

AND THE WINNERS ARE!

2007-02-26T07:18:00.000-08:00

How many fantastic movies would you miss if you waited until after the Oscars were handed out and then only saw the films that won? Does winning an Oscar make a film great? Does not having one make a movie bad? And how many times have you been frustrated that a movie you loved wasn't even recognized by the Oscars?
Do some of these questions sound ridiculous to you?
Why is then that people will only read a book or try a new author if they are on a Bestseller's list? There are so many fabulous stories and authors that get missed because of such a narrow perspective. So the next time you run across someone who'll only read the latest Ophra pick or what's top ten on the list, ask them those questions and see if you can't open their world up to the wealth of story gems sitting on an ordinary bookself, because more often than not there are winners there, too!
Well, enough ranting from me today.
I've a couple of winners to share with you.
MY FAVORITE EARTHLING. SUSAN GRANT's Newest and Hottest yet book has just hit the shelves. If you've never read any of this amazing woman's (she is an ex-military pilot and current commercial airline pilot) you're in for a real treat. Go to www.susangrant.com and read an excerpt.

BLOOD SECRETS by Vivi Anna a Silhouette Nocturne
A young human woman is found ritualistically murdered in a downtown Necropolis hotel. It is up to Caine Valorian, a 200-year-old vampire, and his Otherworld Crime Unit to solve the unusual crime, and quickly before the human press can jump onto the story and cause a panic. To add to their already tough case, a new member, Eve Grant, transfers to their lab at the request of the mayor. Not only is she green and eager to impress the boss, but she's human. The first human ever to work in an Otherworld unit. The mayor thought it would be great press especially now with the strange human murder. Caine has his work cut out for him, especially with his unruly team who don't appreciate any help from a human. Not only is this the toughest case of his career, but he's unusually attracted to the new girl, which can only cause trouble for them all. However, as they sink deeper and deeper into the workings of the case, Caine and Eve become closer and closer. So close that neither of them can see past each other and at the real happenings behind the scenes. The more they poke and prod at the case, the more they realize that something is going on, that this murder is only one step toward a greater purpose. Someone in the Otherworld community is calling on dark forces, in a plot to wipe out the entire human population. Excerpt: and www.valorianchronicles.com/bloodsecrets_nonflash.php#excerpt

Welcome to Hollywood—after dark…
Stuntwoman Dawn Madison is a girl with attitude—and a lot of issues, mostly about living up to the legacy of her mother, a world famous movie star whose untimely death left Dawn to be raised by her dad Frank, nobody’s notion of single-father-of-the-year. Now that she’s grown up, she and Frank aren’t on the best of terms, to say the least.
Still, he is her dad, and when he vanishes while investigating the bizarre sighting—caught on film—of a supposedly long-dead child star, she comes home to Tinseltown to join the search for him. Working with his colleagues—a psychic short in stature but big in dreams, a beautiful Latina techno-geek, and the P. I. firm’s never-seen boss—she discovers an erotic and bloody underground society made up of creatures she thought existed only on screen.
They are devious. They are deadly. And some of them are dangerously attractive…

IN REALITY, THE OPPOSITE PROVES TRUE

2007-01-21T05:35:00.000-08:00

Well, as I enter the new year, belatedly reflecting upon resolutions, I realize that sometimes no matter what you resolve to do, unless that resolution becomes top priority in your life you are doomed to fail. Last year I had resolved to blog more and ended up blogging less, which really bites. Sort of like making a Bridget Jones resolution to weigh less and end up weighing more or to exercise more only to do so even less. LOL. Anyone ever have this problem?
THIS YEAR, I've decided to take the "have to" out of everything that I can and put the "love to" in anything I can. Everything that I can't put the "love to" label on is going to get "I'll do the best I can". So in summing all of this up, I have some good news to give and some bad news.
The bad is that Silken Shadows, the third book in the Killdaren brothers/Andrew sisters' trilogy will not be out in October of 07, but in Feb 08. I'll keep you posted if there are any other changes. The good news is that the sequel to Touch A Dark Wolf is on track and will hit the shelves in JULY 07.
Until then I will continue to post about some fabulous books from some hot paranormal authors. This month let me share with you
SURVIVING DEMON ISLAND by Jaci Burton
Bantam/Dell December 26, 2006
She's all curves and combat boots.
He's six feet of lean, dangerous male.
Join them in a game of survival.
That's as real - and hot - as it gets.
What's America's top female action star doing on a tropical island shrouded in secrecy? To Gina Bliss, competing in a survival-type reality show is a nice change from fending off on-screen villains. Until she meets real-life action hero Derek Marks. A survival specialist in a tight black T and sexy stubble, he's arousing every bad-boy fantasy she's ever had...and testing her survival skills to the max.
Martial arts, jungle warfare - Derek's done it all. But his latest mission is more dangerous than a stick of dynamite. Try telling that to the sexy, adrenaline-pumped actress who's got his libido racing off the charts. As the heat rises between them and real-life violence erupts, suddenly Derek and Gina are on the run...and when they uncover a secret so explosive it could blow the lid of their so-called reality show, these two unlikely heroes are about to discover what surviving's really about....

CLICK!

2006-11-25T20:23:00.000-08:00

Well, LOL. I know exactly how Adam felt in Click when the world became a nightmare of speeding through time. Since my last blog in AUGUST! ( Can I even freaking believe that it was that long ago? It seems as if it was just yesterday that Touch A Dark Wolf hit the shelves.) Well, as I was saying, since my last blog, I've (1)written the sequel to Touch A Dark Wolf.--Be on the lookout for THE LURE OF THE WOLF coming in JULY of 2007--(2)Moved from the house we'd lived in for almost eighteen years. And (3) Had major sugery to remove a tumor from my pituatary gland. Yeah, that's located just below your optic nerve inside your head. A very scary thing to face, but I am glad to say that all is now well and I am on the mend.
Unfortunately, I feel as if I have missed bits and peices of some of the most important things over the past year as I have dealt with deadlines and illness. One of them would fall into the category of keeping in-touch with my readers!
Many authors find the time and the energy to Blog everyday and I so envy them. I'm sort of the quiet type, so blogging everyday or even once a week seems almost too daunting a task to take on. (Yes, you have my permission to laugh. I can write a 400 page book with less angst that I have with the Blog.)
Anyway, I am fastforwarding to (Click) My Newest Release. DARKEST DREAMS (A FOUR AND A HALF STAR TOP PICK FROM THE RT Book Club) hits the shelves on DEC 5th. Though I hear rumors that people are already buying it in the store now.
This is the sensual sequel to MIDNIGHT SECRETS where Andromeda Andrews meets her match in Alexander Killdaren.

Here's a excerpt of the story below.! I hope all of you will take the time to enjoy my paranormal story set in the Victorian era.

Darkest Dreams
The seductive tone of his voice went straight to my head with dizzying force. I wasn’t sure how I navigated my way across the deck.
Suddenly, before we had quite reached her, the mare reared up again and broke free of her handlers, charging right at us.
“Damn,” Lord Alexander said as he scooped me up. In that moment, I saw into his mind as he jumped onto the bags of waiting rice. The image of a naked woman with blonde hair, bound in his bed flashed before my eyes. My breath caught then flew away with the vision as he deposited me out of harm’s way on the deck and grabbed one of the ropes trailing the mare. She instantly reared up, pawing the air, but he held on, tugging gently on the rope and whispering soothing words to the frightened animal. She pranced nervously in place before butting him with her head. When she appeared to be quieting, Lord Alexander grasped her halter, continuing to gentle her with his voice. I had no idea what he whispered in her ear, but I did know one thing.
The bound woman in his bed had been me.

Praise for St. Giles
Riveting.. sexually charged romance…RTBookclub
Engrossing…story ripples with tension…Publisher’s Weekly
Praise for Midnight Secrets…
“St. Giles intuitively senses how to lure readers into her story and into her characters’ lives. Simultaneously building suspense and passion, she brings the classic gothic to a new, sensual level without missing a step.
Let me here from you! And A Happy Belated Thankgiving to all!

TOUCH A DARK WOLF BY JENNIFER ST. GILES Pocket Books. RELEASE AUG. 29th.

Here's a little excerpt!

She should move, scramble to the front seat of the SUV and get out of range. But she didn’t; she stared into his iridescent blue eyes as if mesmerized. This was not happening. This injured, delusional stranger was not hitting on her, he was not pushing her hot buttons, and she was not responding to him.

She’d been seeing Ben & Jerry’s exclusively for too damn long.

Erin cautiously ran her gaze over Jared. A six-foot something hunk of power thighs, pumped pecs, and piercing blue eyes didn’t walk by every day. The man was so potent that even his light touch was a heady aphrodisiac. The sensations he drew from her were stronger than anything she’d ever know, or at least could remember. It had been a while.

You don’t know him from Adam.
Eve didn’t know Adam either—at first.

He brushed her lips again, and she gasped as little fissures of electric heat zinged to her breasts and below…

Jared couldn’t stop himself from touching her mouth, fascinated by the new sensations of pleasure replacing the pain in him. Pleasure that made him want to touch her more, to explore the realm of desire he’d only heard of before, but had never experienced. When he’d pressed his hand against her a few moments ago, he’d felt such inviting softness that he wanted t bury himself within the comfort and ease she brought. But that was not a warrior’s way.

He leaned back in the seat and grimaced at the sharp edge of pain that grew stronger, the farther he moved from Erin. With that pain came a greater awareness of the sweet, heady scent of her blood and a dark hunger clamored inside of him. He gritted his teeth, pummeling the need with his steely will. He would have to leave before he killed her.

She was an Elan and the Fallen fed upon the blood of the Elan.

He would soon walk with the Fallen.

Talk more soon!
Thanks

End Your Summer With A Blast!!!!!

2006-08-16T04:38:00.000-07:00

Waving Hello from the Rabbit Hole that I have once again fallen into. I keep telling myself that I'm not going to fall beneath the killer jaws of a book due and few pages written, but no matter how hard I try to avoid that shark, it nabs me every time. Life doesn't just intrude, it consumes. The problem with being a writer is that nobody thinks you have a REAL job...but enough of that rant. I've a treat for you!

If you haven't had a chance to read Susan Grant before then now is the time. This Amazing woman (Author and Airline Pilot) takes both life and stories by the horns and makes them dance to her fabulous tune.
YOUR PLANET OR MINE by Susan Grant Is On the SHELVES NOW!!
(HQN Books, July 25, 2006)

Think the grocery store is a great place to meet men? Hunky interstellar fugitive, aisle 5.

With outrageously false accusations piling up against her famous political family and an ex-fiancé in hot water determined to take her down with him, the last thing Jana Jasper needs is more trouble--especially man trouble. But when she heads to the grocery store for an ice cream fix, not only does the muscled hunk in the frozen foods section ranting about spaceships and invasions look crazy, he looks... familiar.

Cavin of Far Star has never forgotten the girl he met during his weeks spent on that quaint little world, planet Earth, the girl who didn't believe he was real. And now he'll risk his future to save her. All she has to do is take him to her leader. Simple enough plan--although Jana isn't so easily convinced. Hell-bent on charming his way past her defenses, he's determined to stay one step ahead of the galaxy's most feared assassin--and may just capture his favorite Earthling's heart in the process.

Okay. All right. Procrastination is not just my middle name, but my first and my last as well! It is July 15th already and I am just now making it to blogdom This month! But that just means more for you today!
Many family concerns have been eating up what little spare time I have with the double deadlines I am rushing to meet. So, yes, I do have an excuse or two, but doesn't everyone? Cutting to the matter at hand, I have to say that my first two Reviews for TOUCH A DARK WOLF are out and they sizzle on the page about Jared and Erin's steamy love. Many thanks to those who see the passion and believe in the magic! The book will be out August 29th!
Until then, let me introduce you to some more magic and passion with a witty twist!

WHAT, NO ROSES? by Marianne Mancusi
(Love Spell, July 4, 2006)
And you thought your Valentine's Day was bad?
Unless Dora Duncan can stop it, it's going to be another St. Valentine's Day Massacre. A year ago, her (now ex) boyfriend Nick stood her up at the worst possible moment. That was when she gave up important TV reporting for stories like "Too Stressed for Sex." And though such clips have a certain relevance, things have been a whole lot quieter. Too quiet. Until now.

Now she's gotta go back in time (don't ask!) and stop that very same Nick from messing up the time-space continuum. She has to travel back to a place where everybody speaks easy and cuts a rug-and this Chicago ain't no musical. Here, there are tommy guns and torpedoes, guys and dolls, gin joints, flappers, stoolies, rats and a whole lot more; and prohibition means anything but no.

It's the 1920s. Time for Dora to roar.

ABOUT MARIANNE MANCUSI
When not out exposing scams and righting wrongs, Emmy award–winning TV news producer Marianne Mancusi is probably writing.
Her first chick lit novel, "A Connecticut Fashionista in King Arthur's Court" was called "a sparkling debut" by Publisher's Weekly. And Romantic Times magazine awarded four Stars to her upcoming 1920s time travel "What, No Roses?", pronouncing it "fast, funny and as bubbly as bathtub champagne."
In addition, Marianne has six other adult and teen books under contract, including a teen comedy vampire series from Berkley called "Boys that Bite."
She lives in Boston's historic North End.
REVIEWS
Mancusi’s witty, tongue-in-cheek remarks and sprightly dialogue make for a joy ride of a read with an ending that’s as surprising as it is original. 4 stars – Romantic Times

Ms. Mancusi’s sense of comedic and dramatic timing is dead on... She masterfully blends a time in our history with an idea from her incredible imagination. – Once Upon a Romance

Determined!!!!!

Well LOL. IT is Still JUNE and I'm getting another post in! There is a God and miracles do happen!
Speaking of which, I've had some fabulous news lately. Touch a Dark Wolf, my contemporary paranormal which will be on the shelves Aug.29th, has been picked up by three book clubs. So for those of you who belong to Rhapsody, Doubleday, or the Literary Guild Book Clubs, be on the lookout for Touch A Dark Wolf to appear in their September Catalogues!

Now speaking of heavenly things, I'd love to introduce you to a hot and fun book just out from Warner Forever! Angel With An Attitude by Michelle Rowen!

When you're hot for a demon, you might as well kiss your halo good-bye...
Falling naked into the killer whale tank at MarineLand is always bad news, but it's a real bummer when you've just been kicked out of Heaven. Former angel Valerie Grace is determined to reverse her banishment-Earth's just no fun.
Her best friend is a slightly perverted human-turned-rat, and she's being tailed by a sexy Tempter Demon named Nathaniel, who's trying to lure her to hell with kisses that are almost worth the trip. With the talking rodent sneaking peeks down her shirt and Nathaniel getting more irresistible every minute, this ex-angel has only one hope: find the stolen Key to Heaven and go home.
Then the oddest thing happens-Nathaniel starts to show signs of loyalty and love. And soon Val is asking herself if it is such a bad thing to have the hots for a demon.
So pick up Angel With An Attitude by Michelle Rowen to spark up your holiday!

More tomorrow because I'm determined, LOL to post July 1st and at least once a week thereafter.
Thanks and happy reading

The Blogging Blues

2006-06-15T13:56:00.000-07:00

Someday, I promise to myself and to the world that I'm going to master the art of the blog and find time to give a daily report about how mad my life really is. So many things start out as tiny snowflakes, a little light flicker with just a taste of something and then somehow they manage to turn into avalanches.
LOL. Yeah, I still feel buried, but I had a fabulous weekend in Las Vegas at a conference and sold more books at one signing than ever before to people who loved my writing. That's something that no author will ever get enough of. And now I'm ready to put my nose to the grind stone again.
For those of you in South Georgia. I will be singing Tues. June 2oth at the Waldenbooks store in Albany Georgia at the Mall. Midnight Secrets, His Dark Desires and the Mistress of Trevelyan.

Now to let you know about to hot summer reads you won't want to miss!
CALIFORNIA DEMON: The Secret Life of a Demon-Hunting Soccer Mom by Julie Kenner
(Berkley Trade, June 2006)
What's a mother to do, when there are only so many hours in the day, and the fate of the world is in her hands?
Kate Connor was a retired demon hunter. Now, after fourteen years busting her tail as a suburban housewife, raising two kids, and supporting her husband's political ambitions, she's rejoined the workforce-and except for a few minions of evil, no one has a clue. She tries hard to keep her home and work lives separate-a good idea when your job involves random slaughter.
Between fending off demon attacks, trying to figure out why the mysterious new teacher at the high school seems so strangely familiar, and keeping a watchful eye on her daughter's growing infatuation with a surfer dude, Kate is the busiest-and most dangerous-soccer mom on the block…
FROM THE DESK OF KATE CONNOR…

ABOUT JULIE KENNER
National bestselling author Julie Kenner's first book hit the stores in February of 2000, and she's been on the go ever since. Her books have hit lists as varied as USA Today, Waldenbooks, Barnes & Noble, and Locus Magazine. Julie is also a former RITA finalist, the winner of Romantic Times' Reviewer's Choice Award for Best Contemporary Paranormal of 2001, and the winner of the Reviewers International Organization's award for best romantic suspense of 2004. She writes a range of stories from sexy and quirky romances to chick lit suspense to paranormal mommy lit. Her foray into the latter, Carpe Demon: Adventures of a Demon-Hunting Soccer Mom, was selected as a Booksense Summer Paperback Pick for 2005, was a Target Breakout Book, was a Barnes & Noble Number One SFF/Fantasy bestseller for seven weeks, and is in development as a feature film with Warner Brothers and 1492 Pictures.
Julie spent four years mainlining venti nonfat lattes in order to write, practice law full time, and take care of her kiddo. Then she wised up, quit the practice of law, and settled down to write full time. She now lives in central Texas with her husband, daughter, and a bunch of cats.
REVIEWS
"more witty, funny and poignant adventures from the marvelous Kenner." Combining PTA dangers with demons certainly keeps the characters on their toes and readers chuckling. 4 stars – Romantic Times

While there is a plethora of outstanding romance/dark fantasy sagas currently being released … Julie Kenner's Demon-Hunting Soccer Mom novels are noteworthy in large part because of the author's wit and incredibly intuitive sense of humor. Lines like "Infiltrating a nest of vampires at dusk might be a tad on the treacherous side, but it's nothing compared to telling a fourteen-year-old that she's not allowed to wear eye shadow" will have readers laughing out loud from the first page to the last. If you've changed a leaky diaper, picked up a spilled sippy cup, or purchased a McDonald's Happy Meal within the last 24 hours, this fast-paced, delightfully irreverent amalgam of romance and dark fantasy is for you. – Barnes & Noble

SHADOW OF THE MOON by Rebecca York
(Berkley, June 6, 2006)

Lance Marshall has a nose for great news stories-not surprising, since he's aided by his werewolf abilities. Now he's prowling outside an ultra-exclusive Washington, D.C. nightclub-"The Castle." But he is not alone. Savannah Carpenter wants to know how her sister ended up in a coma, and she knows that The Castle has something to do with it. But when Lance and Savannah pretend to be lovers to gain entrance, they learn that deception and unbridled lust can be a dangerous combination.

ABOUT REBECCA YORK
Ever since she can remember, Ruth Glick has loved making up stories full of adventure, romance and suspense. As a child she corralled her friends into adventure games or acted out romantic suspense stories with a cast of dolls. But she never assumed she could be an author, because she couldn't spell. Her life changed, however, with the invention of the word processor and spelling checker--and the help of her husband, Norman Glick, who spots spelling errors from fifty paces away. Writing as Rebecca York, she has authored or co-authored over 45 romantic suspense novels, many for Harlequin Intrigue's very popular 43 Light Street series, set in Baltimore, and many with paranormal elements.

REVIEWS

The York werewolf moon novels contains several excellent paranormal romantic suspense tales (see CRIMSON MOON), but SHADOW OF THE MOON may be the best of the series so far. The action-packed story line is fast-paced and filled with sexual tension accentuated by the danger that the audience will taste as if we have the enhanced sense of a werewolf. The lead couple is a delightful pairing as they investigate the goings on at the club, what happened to Charlotte, and the attraction between them in a gripping thriller. – Harriet Klausner

Fans get to meet yet another Marshall boy in Rebecca York’s latest novel about the werewolf clan, SHADOW OF THE MOON.This time it's freelance reporter Lance Marshall and he's scented out a story on an very exclusive D.C. establishment that he's heard rumors about, the Eighteen Club.. . .
As if werewolves, psychic abilities and lifemates aren't enough, York adds yet another element to her werewolf series in SHADOW OF THE MOON. It makes for excellent reading. -- http://fromthestacksmacon.blogspot.com

York’s highly popular werewolf tales take an even more intriguing turn in this new story. The sexual tension is taut and the story crisp, which keeps up the momentum. The small side plot is an engrossing teaser for the next chapter in this quite compelling saga. 4 ½ stars – Romantic Times

There's a slippery slope!

2006-05-28T18:25:00.000-07:00

Okay folks,

Not only did I fall off the end of the Earth, I have discovered there's a slippery slope on the edge that keeps snatching my eyes beneath the horizon! But I refuse to give up, I am determined to force my way forward and to keep posting great stuff here! First thing is that MIDNIGHT SECRETS has done well, GREAT REVIEWs And FABULOUS READER MAIL, so I must thank you all from the bottom of my heart . I sold out of the book at the Romantic Times Convention last week! Next I have to tell you I had a fabulous time at the Convention in Daytona. The ocean, beach, and fun just refreshed my spirit and helped me to gain some perspective on personal and health issues currently dragging me down. I've written more since I've returned than I have in the past few months. I was burned out, but now I am excited again and that means more books that I hope you will love!
Next, I want to say a word about support. Life is too short and people are too precious! Please whenever you can reach out a helping hand, whenever you can say the right word to soothe, whenever you can end a malicious jibe, please don't hesitate to be the person that makes the difference!
Now I have a little goody to tell you about. Fellow Paranormal author, Jaci Burton, who is hot, hot, hot has a new book out! And OH MY GOSH! Have you ever had the fantasy of not one but two hot men after you?
OUT OF THE DARKNESS by Jaci Burton and C. J. Burton
(Ellora’s Cave)

Harlee has lived as a human her entire life, working as a psychiatrist on a secret government project evaluating captured werewolves and vampires. Then one night two strangers jerk her from her bed, blindfold her and turn her world upside down. She is taken deep into the realm of lycans and vampires and told an unbelievable story-that she is the daughter of a forbidden union between a vampire and a werewolf and now possibly the future leader of both their clans.

She doesn't believe them. Vampires and werewolves are the enemies of humans. She hangs onto her humanity, her one and only goal to escape from her sexy and enigmatic captors before she loses her heart and possibly her very soul.

The vampire Adrian's and the lycan Duncan's goals are entirely different-to mate with the fiery beauty and determine whether her dominant blood is vampire or werewolf. One merely desires her. One will claim her for all eternity.
But dark forces turn what begins as a search for identity into a struggle for survival.

ONCE UPON STILETTOS by Shanna Swendson
(Ballantine Books, April 25, 2006)

When we left Katie Chandler at the end of Enchanted, Inc., she had helped her new employers, Magic, Spells, and Illusions, Inc. defeat Phelan Idris, a rogue wizard intent on stealing spells. By her side, and leading the battle, was hunky wizard Owen. Katie and Owen are still fighting their attraction to each other in Shanna Swendson’s hilarious and charming sequel Once Upon Stilettos, but first they have to track down a corporate spy before the company dissolves into paranoia. Then at the worst possible time, Katie's immunity to magic goes on the blink. At least she's having better luck in her social life, with men falling at her feet everywhere she goes. Has she really become that irresistible, or is it the new red shoes she felt compelled to buy? Polish your fairy wings, put on your magic shoes, click your heels three times, and join Shanna Swendson for a romantic romp amidst fairies, goblins, wizards and gargoyles.

Hey Folks,

Today I want to share with you another sensual book by Angela Knight!
This woman really knows how to crank up the heat!
And Master of the Wolves is no exception!
MASTER OF WOLVES by Angela Knight
(Berkeley Sensation, April 4, 2006)

When Jim London's best friend is murdered, Jim vows to catch the killer. Leaving it for the local police to solve is out of the question, because he suspects they are involved.
Jim is more than capable of taking action if they are -- he's a werewolf. Realizing the only way to investigate the department is from the inside, he decides to go undercover -- as a police K-9.
His "handler" is lovely Faith Weston, the only person on the Clarkston Police Department who isn't up to her neck in murder. But Faith has no idea her "dog" Rambo is a werewolf, or that the department she serves is rotten with corruption.
But it doesn't take her long to figure it out.

ABOUT ANGELA KNIGHT
Angela Knight's first book was written in pencil and illustrated in crayon; she was nine years old at the time. But her mother was enthralled, and Angela was hooked.
In the years that followed, Angela managed to figure out a way to make a living -- more or less -- at what she loved best: writing. After a short career as a comic book writer, she became a newspaper reporter, covering everything from school board meetings to murders. Several of her stories won South Carolina Press Association awards under her real name. For more of Angela’s interesting bio, visit her website: http://angelasknights.com/bio.htm
