Eyes wide open....gotta stop drinking Rockstar Coffee

Greeting Loyal and True, it is I, your Empress of Dark Romance. What is Dark Romance you say? Well it's my mantra, my motto, my little slice of the yaoi pie. Love has consequences. If love were true and pure, you'd be off reading Harlequins...so you want the dark stuff, the angsty feelings, the highest of highs the lowest of lows and the hint of a happy ending but a realistic one instead. If you do, you're like me. I like reading that stuff too. Too much saccharin leaves me in a fetal position.

Cinnamon: A Blood Nation novel (book 3) is in the editorial paws of the Grammar Kitten. Priority was given to two books which will be for sale at Yaoi-Con 2012 so my vampire babies will be out hopefully before Christmas.

That's What Brothers Do is in the re-write stage. Chimera is being expanded to give me some inspiration from my vampies (not that I don't love them but they can be exhausting) and then after that I'll be jumping into Book 4 of the series.

I've hit about five major conventions this year and most with prior planning. Fun but damn, I'm old...

Later....keep on reading! I'll keep writing. Agreed? Agreed.

message 8: by Detrix (new)

Detrix YAY!!!! I'm so excited!


message 9: by Stephanie (new)

Stephanie I have become a loyal and devoted fan! Your plotting is so wonderfully twisted that it always leads me where I never thought I would go. Despite the occasional and not so occasional sniffles it is always worth the time. Keep writing and I definitely keep buying!

Deal. :)

Derekica Snake I was given the date of December 18th for Cinnamon. I hope it stays true. A teaser chapter is in the back of Coffee Cake by Kiterie Aine from SL Publishing Group.

Rosemary O'Malley You should try Monster Rehab...the yellow can.

Num.

I haven't gotten to more than the first of the Blood Nation novels, but with the holidays round the corner, I'm due for some gift cards. I'll be caught up by the new year and ready for more! I'm currently reading Tentacles for the Bride's Bouquet and enjoying it very much. You make things that I would normally NOT read far too much fun to avoid!

I try to stay away from the energy drinks mainly because my brain off switch is a little tricky and I don't want to flick it back to overdrive. I do write the strangest stuff at that time though. hahahahha


message 15: by Rosemary (new)

Rosemary O'Malley I don't drink any others, but this one is right. It doesn't give me the shakes, there's no harsh come down, and it's only 20 calories per can. Plus, it tastes like black tea and lemonade. (And it mixes well with vodka.)

Whoa...if your brain is like this without 'additives', I bet it's really interesting with them...

Rosemary O'Malley But still fascinatining...


message 18: by Stephanie (new)

Stephanie Just thought that I would check in with the cheers of support. Is this post self serving as in more books faster...oh no wink, wink, nudge, nudge. Go! Go! I am waiting to buy.

message 20: by Stephanie (new)

Stephanie Beautiful ,

You are killing me...I was just on adultfanfiction and read Trophy Demon and Stingray. I thought that they would hold me over while a waited agonizingly for the release of Cinnamon the official version But all I did was torture myself further. WTH! I was left with more stories to re-read; get to the end of; and start asking which of the gods do I need to sacrifice to from more!!! ARGhhhhhhhhh.......

PS Is Nanowrimo 2012 On Swift Wings anywhere to be read or going to be published?

Stephanie Whooo! More to read...(oh, wait...see above) lol!

Let me know if you need feedback in the form of praise because really I'd be more than happy too and it wouldn't be self-serving of me at all...nope, just praise for praise sake...just supporting the arts...only noble thoughts here... ;)


message 23: by Avrey-zoe (new)

Avrey-zoe Is Cinnamon still slated for a Dec. 18th release? Thanks. Fingers crossed.


message 24: by Derekica (new)

Derekica Snake no...no, no...editorial familial issues. Don't have a date yet but hopefully early 2013


message 25: by Suburbancowgirl (new)

Suburbancowgirl Sigh. Just reread Cake and Cinder in hopes that Cinnamon was coming this month. I NEVER reread books, but I can't get enough of the undead badass hotties! Can't you clone yourself or something? :) Your rabid fans need their fix!!!

"...cause I'm your dentist, I get off on giving you pain!" Hahaham I need that soundtrack. Waiting on the publishing house. I shook the door but all I got back was working on it.

I am expanding and revising "Chimera" chapter snippets are up on my facebook site. After that is good to go, I do believe that I am going to self publish the three part story of Neko-laus.
