31 December, 2011: Thank you so much to all the readers who've loved the SWTWC anthology, it's brilliant to get such great reviews! I'm working on quite a few different books right now, but am mostly focused on finished book 2 in the Alien Hunger series. Totally loving this story so far. I had planned to make it a novella, but it's already past that and looking like it might be a short story length of around 30k or so. I hope you all have a great New Year! Can hardly believe tonight will see 2011 gone!
20th December, 2011: I can't believe the official release of SWTWC is only hours away! This anthology has already had some great reviews (you can find these on my blog) which is fantastic! In other news, I'm close to finishing off book 2 in my Alien Hunger series! AND I have written a short contemporary story which will be released early next year as part of an anthology - more news on that later. I've started a new series, but keeping that under my belt for now (so to speak) but it's something I"m really excited about =) I also have a few other writing projects I get to when the mood takes me, so hopefully I'll have some more news to tell in 2012 =)))
14th December, 2011: I'm a little late announcing that, but yes you can pre-order the Something Wicked This Way Comes anthology from Amazon and Barnes & Noble. It will then be available from these stores December 20 and from the Ellora's Cave (Jasmine Jade) site December 28th. What a cool Christmas present *wink*
2nd December, 2011: The blurbs are out for the SWTWC anthology! Read them on my blog or in the 'coming soon' page of the Jasmine Jade site! All the stories sound fabulous =)
21 November, 2011: Something Wicked This Way Comes (anthology) is tentatively due to be released the 23rd December (US). Sounds like a great Christmas present =))
29 October, 2011: Red-Hot Lover is out today (28th in USA) - so excited to have my 3rd book out in the big wide world *g*
19 October, 2011: My third installment in the Winged & Dangerous series, Red-Hot Lover is due for release 28th October - yes, this month! Ellora's Cave do quick turnarounds with their books (I'm happy to say!) My story Dragon Heat in volume 1 of the anthology Something Wicked This Way Comes, has a tentative release date of October 31 to coincide with Halloween. Have my fingers crossed we'll make that date! Meanwhile I've been working on my 2nd book of the Alien Hunger series, Galactic Inferno. With the mixed response I had with book 1, I'm determined the 2nd book will be much more liked by everyone in general!! I have other books on the boil, but I will talk about them at a later date...
11 September, 2011: I've really had the cover gods look after me, with the design of my recently released book IDENTITY SHIFT, designed by Helen at Helzcat design. This is available at Amazon and Smashwords for 99c - bargain!! I loved writing this novella, my first big-cat shape shifter story!
2 September, 2011: I just received the cover for Red-Hot Lover - the third book in my Winged & Dangerous series - and I love it!! Check it out on my blog. Now I'm waiting on news for it's release date as well as the anthology: Something Wicked This Way Comes, book 1. In other news, I'm self publishing a shape-shifter novella entitled Identity Shift. This should be on Amazon in the next day or two, and then Smashwords and other sites! In the meantime, I'd better get writing!
8 August, 2011: If you haven't already read my blog, I'm thrilled to announce DRAGON HEAT made it into volume 1 of the Ellora's Cave anthology, with some great authors! Check out my blog for more info =) Red Hot Lover is with my editor and I'm now waiting for approval (hopefully) and then edits and a cover (seeing the cover is possibly my fav part!) I have another shifter story (panther) with another publisher, so hopefully there may be news on that one soon too.
3 August, 2011: I'm waiting for news on my 3rd Winged & Dangerous novel, as well as news on a short story with a dragon hero that I hope will make it into an Ellora's Cave anthology. Aside from that I haven't been getting a lot of writing done this week as I'm helping out with the Claytons online conference and getting geared up for that! Hope to post some great news soon! =)
16 July, 2011: Galactic Burn is released today YAY!!!! (15th July in US) Writing three heroes was actually a lot more challenging than I expected, so I can only hope my readers love the characters and world building as much as I did! =)
28 June, 2011: I'm excited to have finished a short erotic story for what I *hope* will be published in an anthology for Ellora's Cave. Writing it was a spur of the moment thing, and something that had to be done quickly to make it to the deadline announced - hence it is yet to be named! What I can say is that it has a spy heroine and a dragon hero :) Once I'm completely happy with it, it will be back to my 3rd Winged & Dangerous ms and finally typing in 'the end'.
15 May, 2011: Brothers of the Otherworld is now titled Galactic Burn--with the series name yet to be confirmed. No release date as yet, but will update either here or my blog (or both) as soon as I know. My third gargoyle novel in the Winged & Dangerous series is all but finished--I just have to get my head out of a single title book I'm working on (g) and get back to it!
3 May, 2011: wow, has it really already been two months since my last post!!? Can hardly believe it! Happy to report my short novel, Brothers of the Otherworld (working title) has been sent to my lovely EC editor. Now I just have to wait and see if she likes it, as the story isn't anything like what I've ever done before -- and I'm not just talking the three men and one woman theme. Even so, I have my fingers crossed for the go ahead and whatever edits I recieve. I am also now waiting on my new harlequin editor to get back to me on a shape shifter novella I wrote for the bites line some time ago, but changed up a bit to fit the new cravings paranormal line. I actually started writing its sequel today when I should have been working on finishing off my third Winged & Dangerous novella. I have found though, if my heads not in the right place, my writing/story suffers for it, so best to get on with something else until the muse is in a better place =)
4 March, 2011: Moon Thrall was released yesterday, coinciding with one of my daughter's birthdays! Hope that is a good sign =) And now my co-authored book Believe (100k) is out in cyber land, doing the agent thing, fingers crossed for good news soon! In the meantime I have three things -- well four things really to finish for 2011. 1) I have made a great start on my gargoyle series - Winged & Dangerous, book 3. This one will be rather HOT. 2) I have my alien book to finish and whoa!!! this one is WAY out of the box for me. Three heroes and one heroine -- there is reason behind the madness, wait and see (g). And lots of weird and wonderful worldbuilding too. 3) I promised myself that I'd pull one of my 'starter' books out (less than 5k done) and actually finish it. I got rid of a lot of my old ms's but do have half a dozen I can continue on with, which is great. I got my daughter to choose between three of them and she chose a ms where the heroine has an *amazing* affinity with cats... 4) I have a single title, maybe mainstream novel I started some time ago, this one actually gave me shivers I was so excited about it. I read just a few pages this morning and all those good vibe feelings came back, so I am definately wanting to continue on with that project, maybe in a few months time.
16 February, 2011: Just saw on Ellora's 'coming soon' pages, MOON THRALL will be released March 2nd! (Australia March 3rd). Very happy! And I am just now putting the finishing touches to BELIEVE, and will be looking for an agent soon! BROTHERS OF THE OTHERWORLD, my alien story, is about 1/3 done, and I hope to submit it to EC early next month. IDENTITY SHIFT is still with my other editor at Harlequin, hoping it will fit their new Cravings line!
4 January, 2011: Wow, can't believe it's already into the new year!!! Ice-Cold Lover has been nominated for a CAPA award for the paranormal erotic category. Such a thrill! Winner will be announced Feb. I have also been sent the cover for Moon Thrall - and it is AWESOME!! You'll find it on my blog =) Just now waiting for its revisions from my fabulous editor, and I'm hopeful it'll be released February, early March.
18 December, 2010: recieved my first review for Carnal Moon yesterday. Such a thrill when a reader loves my work =)
5 December, 2010: Sent off my novella, Identity Shift, to my Nocturne Bites editor yesterday. I'll put together a working blurb and post it up very soon. In short, the novella is about a human heroine, out to clear her archeolgy father's name. It features a panther shape shifter hero.
11 Novermber, 2010: Carnal Moon and my free read Discovering Sofia are now out at Ellora's Cave. Next step is to send off Identiy Shift (working title) to my Nocturne Bites editor by the beginning on December. Hoping Moon Thrall should be released early next year.
21 October, 2010: Moon Thrall will now be submitted as an Ellora's Cave novella. Details on my blog. Now deciding if I want to use a story already started as my next bites, or something that has been brewing in my mind. WIll know for sure once I've revised Moon Thrall for Ellora's Cave.
2nd October, 2010: Thought I'd give an update on my upcoming manuscripts. I have the third gargoyle story in my "Winged & Dangerous' series to write, I'm also about 10K in on an alien story for another Ellora's Cave book (possibly a series) with three hero's for my heroine (wry grin). Aside from that I'm finishing off a single title book with Kylie, my co-author, which is so indepth it will have taken us close to two years to complete!! And I have another single title started in the works which I'm also really excited about!1 These are what I'm concentrating on, though I also have a couple of other stories beckoning (one either a bites or a possible nocturne) which I've started some time ago.
2nd October, 2010: Updating my website with some things that are long overdue... reviews for Ice-Cold Lover, interviews etc. And adding my book trailer for the upcoming Quickies release, CARNAL MOON.
25th September, 2010: The release date for Carnal Moon is 28th October and my free read, Discovering Sofia is November 1st through Ellora's Cave.
3rd September, 2010: Discovered my werewolf story, Carnal Moon, on the "coming soon' page at Ellora's Cave. This is a 'quickies' story (around 10K word count) so it is a short but sexy read.
19th August, 2010: Just finished the edits to Carnal Moon, fingers crossed the release date is September sometime. Waiting on edits for my Bites story, Moon Thrall (working title). Currently polishing Believe, which I've co-written and I've started work on two other completely different stories. One an alien novel for Ellora's Cave and the other a single title works. I also have some ideas for another Bites story.
29th July, 2010: Working hard on Believe with my co-writer, Kylie, and the end is in sight! Wow, is all I can say about this book. It's so deep, so meaningful and though it's taken a long time to complete I think the end result will speak for itself! On a completely different book spectrum I've started work on an alien story with three heroes and one heroine. It's pretty out there, but fans of erotic fantasy will really enjoy this =) Meanwhile, I'm just waiting for edits on my Ellora's Cave short story "quickie' Carnal Moon and the Nocturne Bites story Moon Thrall.
21st July, 2010: My free short story (Naughty Nooner) has been accepted by Ellora's Cave and will be released soon! This is a contemporary story, just something a little different from my paranormal stories.
11th July, 2010: Carnal Moon was accepted by Ellora's Cave. Just now waiting on the edits and hope to have it released soon!! In the meantime I'm writing as much as I can on Believe =)
13th June, 2010: Late last night I sent off my werewolf short story (quickie) to my editor at Ellora's Cave. This is one another publisher wanted, but which I eventually declined to submit.With a few little rewrites and twigs, I hope it will be accepted by EC =)
4th June, 2010: Discovered some of my website has gone missing!! (go figure!) so will rectify asap
30th May, 2010: Ice-Cold Lover the book trailer (g) has just been made! I have the link on my blog, and will put it up on my website very soon!
6th May, 2010: Ice-Cold Lover now has a cover! Check out my blog for an early peek. This cover is by far my favourite so far, I just love it!
22nd April, 2010: Ice Cold Lover is due for release on the 26th May! I love my gargoyle characters and decided not to stop at just one book (Stone-Cold Lover) and continued on with another ms - with a third stewing along nicely. The series is to be called Winged & Dangerous. I'll probably leave the third book for a few months while I finish up some other ms commitments, which I want done and dusted.
21st April, 2010: Kallie Revealed was released today!!!! I've put up a trailer in celebration =)
24th March 2010: Ice Cold Lover was accepted by Ellora's Cave today. Have yet to do edits, but hope release isn't too far away!

2nd March 2010: Release day today for HER DARK LORD!!! I loved writing this vampire story =)
