I’m attending the first ever paranormal romance reader event Authors After Dark put together by Jacqueline Frank from October 23 - 25, 2009 in the Suffern, NY area (just 40 minutes from Newark, NJ and just 70 minutes from LaGuardia).

There are some amazing authors already signed up. I’ll be there and doing two panels, the Faerie Tales and Witches panel, were readers get to ask the author’s pretty much anything. There’s also a booksigning, a masquerade, and many fun other events.

Let me know if you’re going to be there as I’d love to get together with some readers!

Guess what arrived last week? The back cover blurb for DANGEROUS HIGHLANDER!

He is magnificently strong—and dangerously seductive. One of the fiercest of his clan, Lucan MacLeod is a legend among warriors, inspiring fear in man and woman alike. For three hundred years, he has locked himself away from the world, hiding the vengeful god imprisoned in his soul. But then, a young lass caught in a raging storm awakens his deepest impulses…and darkest desires.

Cara doesn’t believe the rumors about MacLeod castle—until the majestic Highland warrior appears like a fiery vision in the storm, pulling her into his powerful arms, and into his world of magic and Druids. An epic war between good and evil is brewing. And Lucan must battle his all-consuming attraction for Cara—or surrender to the flames of a reckless, impossible love that threatens to destroy them both…

You can Pre-Order the book now!

My summer is wild crazy between deadlines, conferences, and family activities. Its the busiest summer we’ve had yet. Because of my schedule, I’m going to suspend the Question of the Week. However, I’ll do spontaneous contests throughout the summer, so be sure to check back often!

Time flies when you’re having fun! Last week I took my family on a vacation out of the country and we had a blast. It was the first time the kids had flown, so that was interesting. Little Man loved it and promptly told me he was going to be a pilot. My daughter didn’t care for it quite so much, a lot like me. But the trip was wonderful and relaxing and loads of fun with memories that will last a lifetime.

In book news, I got the go ahead from my editor to write the third Dark Sword book, WICKED HIGHLANDER, which I start today. Also, the pages for the Dark Sword series are now live! You can read The Beginning, find out information on who the characters are, look over the glossary, and read some FAQs.

I’m still working on the Dark Sword Quiz, which will be up soon. Unfortunately, I don’t have the blurb for DANGEROUS HIGHLANDER yet. Not only did my editor go on vacation when I did, but the woman responsible for the back cover blurb went into labor early. I should have the blurb in the next few weeks, and I will share as soon as I get it.

Until then, you can Pre-Order DANGEROUS HIGHLANDER!

The winner to last week’s question is…Kerry P! Congrats, Kerry! Send me an Email with your choice of an book from my eBook Backlist.

Music has always been a huge part of my life. I grew up listening to music constantly. My father would put on the radio when he was working in his woodshop or grilling. Any time he was outside, the music was on. My brothers were the same way - constant music. Factor in the music I heard while at dance, and there was very little time of any given day that I wasn’t buried deep in some song.

I guess that’s why now, certain songs really strike a cord in me. I can hear a piece of music or a song and instantly I’m taken away by my characters. Each book has several songs that seem to really nail the hero and heroine. I don’t go out searching for these songs, and most of the time I don’t find them until I’ve begun writing the story. But once I do discover them, I can’t ever hear that song again without thinking of that book, those characters.

What I want to know is if there is a song(s) that touch you deeply?

By replying you could win a free download of an eBook from my backlist! You have until Wednesday, June 10, 2009, (two weeks from today) when I’ll drawn a winner and do another question.

Instead, she wakes to find herself in the arms of a handsome, powerful man who claims to be her intended husband and leader of her people, the very people she was stolen from as a baby.

Will Livia give in to the desires of her body and claim her heritage to become the woman Poseidon deemed strong enough to stand next to Achates and rule?

Something that seems to be pretty popular are romances being made into movies. Everyone has their favorite book that they’d love to see on the big screen, and there are authors who know just what actors they’d like to play their leading roles.

What I want to know is what book/series would you love to see made into a movie?

By replying you could win a free download of an eBook from my backlist! You have until next Wednesday when I’ll do another question.

Counting down the days to the end of school and our vacation. Can’t wait!
