Guest Blogging Over at Titan Books!

January 31st, 2012

I know I haven’t been posting a lot on my blog the last few months (okay, fine, the last half a year), but this does not mean I haven’t been writing.   I finished the final draft of Plague Town, jumped back into spicy romance land and finished Fixation, my upcoming paranormal novel for Ravenous Romance, and then immediately did another leap onto Plague Nation, the second Ashley Parker novel, which I’m working on now.  I’ve also been writing guest posts for Titan Books’ blog and the first one went live (or perhaps “undead”) today and can be found here.  Unfortunately there is no comment section on the Titan blog (we authors do love our comments!) so if you go read it and are so inclined, I would love to hear from you in the comment section below!

Demon Lovers – An Anthology

January 18th, 2012


And what a kickass anthology it is, too!   So I’m glad that when Holly and Lori with Ravenous 
Romance emailed to ask if Dave and I (aka Kilt Kilpatrick and Inara LaVey) wanted to edit an anthology of succubus and incubus stories for Ravenous that we said yes, desite very busy schedules.

How busy, you ask?

Well, we didn’t just have full plates; we had “all you can eat” buffet piled high type plates. And yet… the idea of reading other peoples’ work and putting together an anthology sounded like fun.  And it was.

We sent out a call for submissions (Submit!!  All Kneel Before General Zod!) both as an open calls via social networking, as well as emails to specific writers we knew would be perfect for this book.  We got an amazing response and ended up with a selection of sometimes funny, sometimes scary, always sexy stories from thirteen talented authors (listed here in no particular order):  Lisa Lane, Kat Sheridan, Elena Derring, Red Hanner, Ray Garton, Anastasia Greumach, Angela Cameron, Olivia Cunning, Loren Rhoads, Courtney Sheets, Elizabeth Black, Kilt Kilpatrick, and yeah, my alter ego Inara has one in there too.  

Anastasia, btw, is as of yet too shy to reveal her secret identity so we will leave her unlinked. :-)  

Demon Lovers is available for sale at Ravenous Romance and just came out for Kindle at Amazon

too!

And for a little taste of what’s inside…

They come for you in your sleep…

The Succubus, nocturnal seductress of men; the Incubus, the perfect male no woman can resist; enticing demon lovers who haunt your bedroom, slip into your fevered dreams and drag you into delicious sins of the flesh…

Demon Lovers is a fresh new collection of seductive, frightening, hilarious, adventurous, sumptuous, thrilling stories of succubae and incubi from today’s hottest and most exciting authors in paranormal erotica!

A girl with something extra finds her match in a mysterious carnival jack; in Victorian London, a celebrated singer with a secret plays a dangerous game of cat and mouse with a lover; girl sleut


hs at a finishing school must solve a series of deadly seductions before they are the next to succumb; a female UPS driver discovers that the most unlikely of prospects can lead to an unforgettable erotic encounter; to gain an ancient treasure lost to the Arabian Desert, a roguish archeologist in 1927 must gamble on surviving a seductive Moroccan she-demon!

Happy New Year!

December 31st, 2011

It’s been a long time since I posted on my blog.  It’s been a rough couple of months in many ways, but I have a lot of optimism for 2012 and am looking forward to sharing it with friends, family, fellow writers, readers, and cat lovers (many of whom fall under friends and family already!).  Thank you for those of you who shared 2011 with me and helped make it a better year… and here’s to next year.  May it be a great one for all of us.

Buddha and Sunbear – It’s Love!

July 19th, 2011

I love it when one of the older cats decides to adopt a kitten formerly regarded as an attention-sucking interloper…

After several weeks of Sunbear being very pissy about Buddha’s existence, he has decided that Buddha makes a very good teddy bear.

It’s Official! Cover for Plague Town

July 13th, 2011

   I just got word from my Dark Editorial Overlord from Titan that the cover   design for Plague Town is now official and I’m free to splash it over the internet. 

I’m extremely excited about this cover, as well as the revisions I’m making to the original book  (released by Ravenous Romance as an eBook titled Ashley Drake, Zombie Hunter: A Plague on All House).  I think fans of the original will be happy with the new version and  that it will attract a wider readership as well.  

So… happy author!   Read the rest of this entry »

Buddha, Toltec and Evaki

June 27th, 2011

Latest fostering epidemic … er … adventure leaves us now with Evaki (mom cat) and Toltec, her son.  Buddha is from a different litter and has kept Toltec company after his siblings went off to their new homes.  We said “no” to fostering for a while… and will say “no” again when this batch is gone.  But I never regret the time spent with each and every foster cat and kitten that makes its way from death’s door to our house to a permanent home.  Just requires getting used to little ladders of kitten scratches up and down legs and arms (they do like to climb) and realizing a certain amount of writing time does get sucked away by the Ultimate Cute of Kittens.

Okay, I have posted again after another hiatus caused by brain fog.  Hopefully (sorry, Mom, but it’s a word now and not nearly as bad as some of the ones Sarah Palin uses) I will be able to find my steady rhythm again.
