Princes of Hell-Coming June 2013
When Kai Doering inherits her estranged grandfather’s estate in Bliss, Idaho, life become anything but blissful. The discovery of a beautiful but unusual ring in the attic, leads to much more than she bargained for. Kai may not realize what she has in her possession, but the boys in Hell sure got the message.
Lucifer and the seven princes of Hell, existed for several millennium believing that the Ring of Solomon–an object with the power to control demons– had been destroyed. However, the moment Kai slips the ring on her finger, the tremor of it’s power ripples through the underworld.
Knowing the ring’s existence could mean the destruction of all demons, Lucifer sends his seven princes to earth in search of the ring and it’s bearer. There’s one catch, a demon can’t take the ring from it’s owner, it has to be given willingly.
Asmodeus, the Demon of Lust, is happy to have another opportunity to visit the mortal world and dally with a human female…or twelve. However, when he arrives on earth, he realizes Lucifer made all the demons mortal. In an effort to keep them motivated, focused on their mission and immune from the powers of the ring, Lucifer left them on earth with only with the ability to telepath him.
When Asmodeus meets Kai along a deserted section of highway in Magic Valley, it’s more than the ring she wears that catches his eye. He plans to woo the ring out from under her but before long, the lines between lust and love blur.
When the other members of the brotherhood realize Asmodeus has found the ring, they descend on Bliss, determined to get it from Kai at any cost.
When Asmodeus is faced with choosing between the brotherhood and his one true love, he realizes the battle for Hell is nothing compared to the battle for her heart.
***
This series will be self-published and released in “episodes”. My plan is to release a new episode every month.
Dream on……

Brenda Novak's Auction for Diabetes Research Starts Today!
Hello! Brenda Novak, a New York Times and USA Today Bestselling author, holds an annual online auction to raise money for diabetes research. Her son, Thad has juvenile diabetes and when I heard about the auction, I wanted to get involved.
As many of you may know, my oldest son has had diabetes since he was two and half. That was one of the scariest days of my life. I was seven and a half months pregnant with our second child when the diagnosis was made. My husband and I were terrified.
In the couple of weeks leading up to it, I noticed that Ian was looking skinny and had been drinking a lot more than usual. I remember asking my mom, “Is diabetes when you’re thirsty and pee a lot?” She said, “Don’t be silly, he doesn’t have diabetes.”
Well, later that night on the way home, Ian started crying and saying that his head was broken. I thought that was really strange. How many two year old’s complain of severe headaches? When we got home, he threw up. I knew something wasn’t right and called our pediatrician the next morning. They told me to bring him right in.
Sure enough, he tested positive for diabetes. We were sent immediately to the hospital where he stayed for three days. It was frightening to say the least, but once his blood sugar was under control, Ian was back to being the rambunctious toddler we’d always known. I remember thinking how lucky we were that it was something manageable.
It is manageable but damn if it doesn’t suck.
The truth is, that diabetes is a life-threatening, life-changing illness. Since we’ve lived with it for so many years, and it’s become a part of our daily life, we sometimes forget how dangerous it is.
In February, we sent Ian off to England for ten days on a school exchange program. I knew, deep in my gut, that he would be fine. I had confidence that he’d step up and take care of himself…but there was still that nagging doubt.
What if his sugar crashes and he passes out in the middle of the night? What if he forgets his insulin or his testing kit? What if he gets a low sugar and doesn’t have anything to eat or drink to raise it?
Before he left, I said, ”Your father and I have been working on you for eighteen years. Time to see how we did.”
My worries were unfounded. Ian managed himself quite well and rose to the occasion, as I knew he would. But wouldn’t it be lovely if Ian, and others like him, didn’t have that worry hanging over them?
The treatments for diabetes have grown in leaps and bounds but wouldn’t it be brilliant if there was a cure?
Brenda’s auction for diabetes research runs May 1-May 31. I donated a summer fun reading bag of goodies but there are ton of fabulous items. At this online auction you’ll find everything from books, jewelry, travel and more.

I hope you’ll participate and support the auction for kids like Thad, Ian and countless others.

Twitter Party for Tall, Dark, & Vampire
I am a fan of/addicted to Facebook and have held various FB parties and contests around the launch of each of my books. However, since I have a brand new series starting in August, I thought I should try something new.
A twitter party for my vampires in NYC!
I’ve been a sporadic tweeter at best but I’m on a mission to improve my tweeting talents. I’ve seen several authors host these twitter parties and thought it was about time that I give it a shot. Apparently these twitter parties can generate thousands of tweets in just a couple of short hours and it’s a fab way to build buzz about a new product. I’m still a relatively new author on the scene and I’m looking forward to meeting a bunch of new readers with the Dead in the City vampire series. If you know a reader who loves vamps and romance…then send ‘em my way!
Here’s how it works:
*You need a twitter account (I know–duh!)
*The twitter party will be on August 6th from *7:00pm-8:30pm EST.
*In order to participate, you need to tag your tweets with #nycvamps
*You can use Tweetdeck to help follow the conversation or do a search in Twitter for #nycvamps
*If you join the twitter party and tweet #nycvamps during the party time–you’re eligible to win one of the prizes!
Prizes:
*Nook HD
*3 copies of UNDONE
*2 Memberships to Discover a New Love
