Urban Fantasy Versus Paranormal Romance at the NINC Blog

2009-07-07T12:41:00.000-07:00

I'm over at the Novelists, Inc. blog today talking about some differences between an urban fantasy book versus a paranormal romance. Come on over!

Back in the Saddle

2009-07-06T10:21:00.000-07:00

It's back in the saddle time with a Vampire Babylon-related project. I was contracted to write a short story in an Occult Detectives anthology that should be coming out in the fall of 2010. From what I hear, Simon Green and Rachel Caine will be among the authors, so that makes the little fan girl in me jump up and down. It also means I'm doing the whole neurotic "OMG, Simon Green and Rachel Caine will have work in the same book...and I'll have to live up to their awesomeness!"

In spite of all that, I've plotted my story and am ready to write it. It'll take place after the closure of the London VB trilogy, which means that I can't tell you exactly what Dawn will be struggling with since DEEP IN THE WOODS, Book Six, is nine months away from publication. No big spoilers for you!!! But I can say that the story will bring back a lot of Hollywood trilogy elements and will center on an Underground starlet ex-vampire who *might* still be around...if she's not a ghost.

Off I go.

A Good Kind of Signing

2009-06-22T22:29:00.000-07:00

Hey, you all--so sorry about the lack of posts this past week. I've been messing about on a sort of vacation since I finished DEEP IN THE WOODS. This doesn't mean I haven't done a bit of work, too (such as a proposal that I just mailed, as well as brainstorming for a short story that'll be in a future anthology). It's just been "shorter" work.

I've posted a guest blog over at the Novelists, Inc. site, and it's about a signing I did a couple of weeks ago, and I met someone quite interesting there. To read about it, click here!

Appearance tomorrow

2009-06-12T07:38:00.000-07:00

For those of you in the Las Vegas/Henderson area, I'll be at the Local Authors Day at the Green Valley Henderson Library from 1-4pm tomorrow, Saturday, June 13th. Other writers will be there, too, and we'll be selling books and answering your questions. These are the titles I should have with me:

Bookseller Interview

2009-06-10T07:10:00.000-07:00

Over at the Novelists, Inc., site, there's an interview with Maryelizabeth Hart, who does PR duties for the excellent bookstore, Mysterious Galaxy. I asked Maryelizabeth to join us for the day because Mysterious Galaxy is seriously fantastic, and the staff works their butts off to get good books into the hands of readers. Not only do they report to the New York Times bestseller list, but they arrange signings and book panels at Comic-Con (where I'll be on a panel this year again). They also hosted a booth at the L.A. Times Festival of Books, and dang, was that tent busy. Their staff is passionate about what they love and what they think you'll love, and if you wander over to their store in San Diego or their wonderful web site, you won't walk away empty handed.

So come on over to see what Maryelizabeth Hart has to say on the NINC site! Click here to go.

Princess Di Meets Vampires

2009-06-08T08:06:00.000-07:00

In the past, I've talked about what I read during the writing of one of my books. I'm a bit behind on this one, seeing as I turned in DEEP IN THE WOODS, Vampire Babylon, Book Six, about a week ago, but I thought I'd share this little tidbit with you.

Since the London trilogy portion of the VB series takes place in...well, London...I was listening to audio books that feature British speakers. Listening helps me to get the flow of the appropriate dialog and narrative. This time, my main source for audio cues was THE DIANA CHRONICLES, written by Tina Brown. This is a biography about Princess Di, of course, and it provided a lot of sheer entertainment along with auditory value for me.

I don't know about you guys, but Diana's death was one of those moments where I remember exactly what I was doing when I heard about it. So was her wedding to Charles. Like many people, I connected with her, even though I would never know her. So it was somewhat tough to read this book, which doesn't paint a worshipful picture of Diana at all--it features all those rumored flaws you heard about in the press like the bulimia, the manipulation of the tabloids, the affairs. What comes out of this document is a story about a highly conflicted woman who really did love Charles in a fantasy-driven way. Brown seems to blame this lack of reality in Diana's love life partially on romance novels, which I thought was interesting. (In fact Brown's disdain for them comes out very clearly.) But Diana also comes off as a very astute "tactician," and anyone who knew how to work the press as she did surely deserves such a title.

Worth a read if you want to see Diana in a light that shows warts and all.

RED KISS by Deidre KNIGHT (OOTB Tour)

2009-06-01T07:12:00.000-07:00

You all might know I'm with the Knight Agency. Here's Deidre Knight's newest book!!! (Congrats, Deidre.)

RED KISS
A Gods of Midnight Novel
by Deidre Knight

Signet Eclipse
June 2, 2009

Immortal warrior and Spartan slave River Kassandros has a special gift—the ability to transform into any weapon. But in a recent battle, he was trapped as a dagger, unable to become human again. His one hope of salvation is a mere mortal…
When Emma Lowery beaches her kayak on an uninhabited island off the coast of Savannah, an ancient dagger seems to call out to her. Compelled by dark forces, Emma draws blood with his blade, freeing River. Now he’s stronger, angrier—and exudes more sensuality than Emma can resist.
But a sinister power wants to claim River’s destiny, and his precarious freedom. The pair must join the Spartan warriors to fight Ares himself. But can they face sacrificing their love to protect humankind from the war god’s demonic plan?

Excerpt: http://www.deidreknight.com/red_kiss_excerpt.html

DVD Review: THE WIRE

2009-05-30T16:25:00.000-07:00

So I heard, many a time, that I needed to watch THE WIRE. It's so awesome, the chat boards said. It's television at its best, the critics shouted.

And they were right.

This was one of those times I should've listened sooner, just like with SUPERNATURAL, because when I started getting my DVDS in the mail, I was a camped-out mailbox puppy once again.

THE WIRE is a short five seasons long (about ten through thirteen episodes per cycle) and it was presented by HBO, which means you get sex and grit. It's very complex, and I don't recommend hopping into the middle of it--this one is something to appreciate one episode after another, like a multi-coure meal that builds on what comes before.

If you watched HOMICIDE: LIFE ON THE STREETS (one of my favorite series ever), you're a ready-made fan. THE WIRE was conceived and run by David Simon, who used to be a newspaper journalist in Baltimore and turned to producing and writing after getting bought out of his job (a nice term for laid off). Hence, the action takes place in Baltimore, focusing primarily on what starts out as a rag-tag bunch of cast-off police who are put on a seemingly hopeless drug detail. Lest this sound like a trite set up, the execution drives the story in a very different direction, using the points of view of the drug dealers, too. No one is simply good or bad in this series, but the characters are always facinating and even endearing in their own imperfect ways. Even the dealers have saving graces (most of the time).

Each season features a different aspect of Baltimore, fleshing out the city so that you feel as if you know it: season two centers around the port; season three has politics; season four goes to the schools; season five brings everything together by using a newspaper room as its "new character." At the same time, we follow the cops as well as the "evolution" of the drug trade on the streets--old dealers have to bow to the power of the new.

My favorite season was four, but only because of the school focus. As a former eighth grade teacher in San Diego, I felt that the issues really, really hit home: the politics of "teaching to the test," social promotion, and the basic struggle of middle schoolers trying to go beyond what society and family expects of them. I was *dreaming* about this stuff every night--that's how much this season got to me.

Bottom line--this series is a work of art. No joking. The way it sews its stories together into a tapestry of bleak (and sometimes hopeful) reality is stunning. It's inspiring for any author. Plus, this is the series you whip out if you're having a conversation with someone who wants to tell you that TV is junk.

Highly, highly recommended.

2009-05-25T14:58:00.000-07:00

Guys, if you're looking to while away more time on the Internet, may I direct you to a great site? Outlaw Vern is an occasional contributer to Ain't It Cool News, and his reviews are always so right on and hilarious that I rush to read them. He just got the TERMINATOR review up, and in the comment section, he talks about an earlier draft of the script that's being analyzed on the CHUD site. Interesting stuff.

Terminator: Salvation

2009-05-22T05:34:00.000-07:00

I saw TERMINATOR: SALVATION, and it was pretty good. For me, it fell between “good action” and “emptiness.” What I mean by that is there were plenty of explosions and some really decent fight scenes (especially with the motorcycle and “snake” terminators) but I didn’t connect to everything else that was going on.

Now, before anyone reminds me that this is just a “popcorn movie,” I have to say that I believe “pop flicks” can transcend the somewhat demeaning title. Just because you’ve got robots and pyrotechnics doesn’t mean that there can’t be characterization that sticks with you. Even in a dark, post-apocalyptic world, you can still find yourself attached to what’s going on. With T:S, I didn’t feel that extra “oomph”—moments where the world reaches out of the screen and into you. But having said all that, this movie has nothing at all to be ashamed of—the performances are top notch and it looks great, with a bleak view of the kind of future we’d hoped to see in this series.

I guess what surprised me most was the lack of screen time for Christian Bale/John Connor. I expected the action to focus primarily on him. It doesn’t. Instead, we concentrate on a guy named Marcus, and while his story is a good one, I wanted more John. And I have to say that my favorite performance didn’t even include John or Marcus; I loved the teenaged Kyle Reese because, as played by the Chekhov kid in the recent STAR TREK, he was a perfect rendition of what Reese might’ve been before he became the time traveling hero we know and love. When Kyle is first identified on screen, it’s a bit of a shock because of Anton Yelchin’s big blue eyes and delicate features—this will be one of Connor’s best soldiers?—but immediately Yelchin made me see the burgeoning kick-assedness in him, as well as the heart that will be swayed by a mere picture of Sara Connor.

So…there are definitely things to like in the movie. But also a bit of disappointment, though not to a high degree.

13 more eppies for CHUCK!

If you're a CHUCK fan, it's Good News Monday.... There'll be 13 more episodes of the show. It's no full order, but I'm not complaining.

SUPERNATURAL Finale, 5/14/09

2009-05-15T10:07:00.000-07:00

What a finale! Jeez, first there was LOST, which blew my freakin’ mind, as usual, and then came SUPERNATURAL, which pretty much does the same for me but with hotter guys. (Sorry, Sawyer, Jack, and Desmond. I’m a victim of the Winchester Pretty.) Also, Ruby’s no more! Sweet!

Come with me to the water cooler for some chattery….

* It just occurred to me that we’re going to get another version of the opening title card next season. Can it get any scarier? They outdo themselves each time. And you know what? I CAN’T WAIT FOUR MONTHS FOR IT.

* Tell it, Bobby! Harsh words for Dean about him acting like a “princess,” but I want Dean to get out of this swamp of emo and into kick-ass gear. Not that Dean didn’t deserve some princess time with what he’s been through. Most people would’ve jumped off a bridge.

* LOL for Zacharias offering Ginger from “Gilligan’s Island” to Dean—and throwing Mary Ann in for free. (You had to know that Dean would be a GingerBoy.)

* It figures that Sam’s voice mail would cut Dean off just before he finished saying, “I’m sor—“ry.

* Any agreement on the notion that Zacharias is being a tad too cocky about winning in the apocalypse Olympics?

* Um…”God has left the building”? Om-i-nous.

* Is it significant that the convent is “St. Mary’s”? (As in Mama Mary Winchester?)

* Bitch move #5677 by Ruby—changing Sam’s voice mail.

* SAM’S DEMON EYES! Ahhhhhhh!

* I’m actually relieved that Ruby was playing Sam like a slack-stringed violin. She made him a chump but maybe…MAYBE…he’ll learn from this.

* WHOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!! Don’t let the hellgates hit you in the ass on your way out, Rubes.

* We all knew they’d leave us hanging here at the end with Lucifier’s rising! Argh. But the good news is that the brothers are back together, baby! Hell approacheth earth, but this reunion leaves me very happy and satisfied.

So, a whole summer. Four months. Forever. And then there’ll be no more SUPERNATURAL. Woe is me!

Another Great Summer Read: ENTERTAINING ANGELS

2009-05-13T10:06:00.000-07:00

Earlier in the week, I suggested the sizzle of SUBMISSION by Cherie Feather (AKA Sheri Whitefeather). For an equally wonderful read, I give to you ENTERTAINING ANGELS by my other friend and critique partner, Judy Duarte.

This is what could be called "inspirational women's fiction," and it continues the tradition of Judy's first book, MULBERRY PARK, where members of a community come together and improve their lives through love and companionship. This time, there's a stranger walking among them, and "Jesse" seems to have quite a knowing store of anecdotes that sets everybody's lives in a new direction. Here's the back cover blurb:

As a teen, Kristy Smith spent her nights dreaming of a college scholarship - dreams that ended abruptly when she became pregnant. Now Kristy works hard to support her young son, Jason, and her ailing grandmother, staving off regrets about the chances that slipped away. When Craig Houston became a pastor, he envisioned making a difference in some distant, poverty-stricken country, not dealing with youth groups and shut-ins in a tidy suburb like Fairbrook. But things aren't always what they seem. Soon, Craig finds locals who need guidance even if they'll never admit it - like Kristy's best friend, Shana, who's always strived to be the perfect daughter; Renee, a pregnant teen trying to make it on her own; and Kristy herself, a vibrant and loving young woman unaware of just how much she has to offer. One by one, the residents of Fairbrook are about to learn that the future can surprise and redeem us, especially when there is courage and true friendship in abundance, and a little help from an unexpected source...

So snap these up and have a great time! (BTW, Judy's working on her third book in this series, TAPESTRY, and Sheri just finished writing MASQUERADE. You've got awesome stuff from these authors in the future, too!)

Need a Hot, Hot Summer Read? Submit to SUBMISSION

2009-05-11T09:26:00.000-07:00

SUBMISSION is the second erotic romance novel by my friend and critique partner, Sheri Whitefeather (writing as Cherie Feather here). I'm not just pimping out her novel because of that, though--I'm genuinely telling you that her ART OF DESIRE and now SUBMISSION are two fantastic reads. She has a way of really steaming up the pages (and how...whoa!) as well as weaving high emotion into the tale. Here's what SUBMISSION is about:

Ethan Tierney is infamous in the art world for his shocking paintings—and his reputation for seduction. He’s found a perfect subject in Kiki Dion, an art historian with kinky fantasies of her own. Now, behind the closed doors of his historic estate, they’re making those fantasies come true— and bringing something else to life as well…

A century ago, the house’s late occupants recorded the details of their consuming affair in explicit letters that have become Kiki and Ethan’s erotic obsession. But the ghosts of the past are not at rest. They’ve been aroused to bring closure to a sensual mystery of the past, to take possession of the warm and willing bodies of Kiki and Ethan, and to teach them the true meaning of undying ecstasy.

As I said, the sex is super sizzly, and Sheri is a master at weaving the present plot in with the historical subplot. (BTW, the male ghost reminds me of what Rhett Butler might've been like behind closed doors.) You're gonna love this one.

BTW, I'll be giving away a copy of ART OF DESIRE during my next contest, which is going to be updated in about a week....

(I'll be back later in the week with another recommendation--this time from the opposite side of the spectrum with Judy Duarte's latest inspirational!)

SUPERNATURAL, 5/7/09

2009-05-08T13:50:00.000-07:00

Dark!

You all know I like my dark stories, but, oh, how draining this episode was. I loved it because everything is coming together, but how the soul weeps for the Winchester brothers.

Water cooler talk:

* Okay, before we start, I just want to say that I saw Jensen Ackles in a little horror movie called DEVOUR. It was all right as far as horror goes, but what struck me was how good of an actor this guy really is. We're used to him bringing it on SUPERNATURAL, but the character he played in this movie had an innocence about him that contrasted with Dean's bravado. When this show's over, I'd love to see him do some indie dramas and comedies that show his skills to an even bigger audience.

Anyway.

* I'm rooting for Dean, of course, because who wants to see Sam utterly destroyed? Still, I can see where they're both coming from in their arguments to either use Sam's powers or not. Sam really thinks he's doing the right thing, but Dean just wants to save him.

* How awful to see Sam's inner demons coming out. When Big Sam was talking to Little Sam (and, no, I'm not being dirty), they mentioned Jess, and I thought it was interesting that Sam has never tried to bring Jess back to life, what, with all the magic he has access to. Not that Sam still holds a pure love for her, but he carries Jess's death around with him; she haunts him, and I wonder if he'll ever try to exorcise the lingering guilt.

* When Mom appeared to Sam, I almost thought Ruby was screwing around with him because she was calling Dean weak and urging him to go after Lillith. It's not so, but, woe is me, we do get our Ruby appearance later.

* Oh, Dean--taking one for Sam again as he makes a bargain with the angels this time (instead of demons)? Wasn't going to hell for Sam enough? Hero.

* You can imagine how hard I was cheering for Dean to rip Ruby to pieces. Then, alas, Sam step in. Bleh.

* So what do you think--last shot of the season = Lucifer busting out of his "cage"?

* These boys break my heart.

Next week...utter creepiness.

BTW, I saw STAR TREK and it's rolicking great fun. Emotional, hilarious, exciting--totally worth the moola, guys!

Have a great weekend!

BRIDE OF THE WOLF (OOTB Book Tour)

Bride of the Wolf
by Jennifer St. Giles
(Shadowmen Series Book 4)
Release Date 4/28/09

When the heroic werewolf Navarre is trapped in the twilight realm, his Shadowmen comrades are unable to rescue him. Only a passionate woman with a spirit as wild as his own can set him free….

Oil heiress Marissa Vasquez fled the jungles of Belize to avoid becoming a pawn in her vicious uncle’s wicked schemes. Though she has found temporary sanctuary in little Twilight, Tennessee, only in her dreams does she taste freedom. At night, her spirit intertwines with a magnificent black wolf, and they run together under the glow of a forest moon. When a wounded stranger is brought to the camp where she is hiding, she glimpses in his eyes the mysterious being who has been the partner of her visions. But before she can explore her strange reaction to this man, they are kidnapped and imprisoned once again.

Navarre is a shapeshifting Shadowman, captured by the evil Vladarian vampire who hopes to control Marissa. Injured and blind, he struggles to regain his warrior’s strength as they fight for their freedom — and their lives. Together, their spirits form a powerful link matched only by the passion they discover in each other’s arms. But can a mortal woman attain true love with a man who is half wolf? And will their enemies give them time to find an answer?

Another Sneak Peek at a Cover!

2009-05-04T13:50:00.000-07:00

Here's my next Special Edition cover!

THE TEXAS BILLIONAIRE'S BRIDE is coming out in July, and it's the first book in the Foleys & McCords continuity series. As you can tell from the flash title, the series has a family feud premise, and it involves really fun stuff like a lost, cursed diamond and Romeo-and-Juliet relationships. My own story is a nanny-and-the-boss type romance, with a hopeful caretaker winning the heart of a brooding widower with a daughter in sore need of love and guidance.

July is also going to bring the mass market reissue of MIDNIGHT REIGN, Vampire Babylon, Book 2, before THE PATH OF RAZORS (book 4) comes out in August! Good times ahead....
