Deadly Fear - Out Now!

Yesterday was Cynthia Eden's release day!! You probably know her from her super sexy paranormals. Now she's writing romantic suspense and Deadly Fear is her first release from Grand Central.


What's this hot story about?

TWO BRILLIANT AGENTS


FBI Special Agent Monica Davenport has made a career out of profiling serial killers. But getting inside the twisted minds of the cruel and the sadistic has taken its toll: She’s walled herself off from the world. Yet Monica can’t ignore fellow agent Luke Dante, the only man who ever broke through her defenses.


ONE DREAM TEAM


Luke has the unique ability to put victims at ease…professionally, he and Monica made a perfect team. Now they’re reunited to catch a murderer who uses his victims’ deepest, darkest fears for sport - but their investigative skills aren’t enough. Luke and Monica will have to face the secrets from their past, the ones that terrify them the most, if they are to have a future together.


But can they catch a killer whose weapon is…DEADLY FEAR?


Sounds good right! My copy still hasn't arrived but it's on the way! Where can you find this? Amazon or Barnes & Noble. (It's also available at a bunch of other bookstores, I just don't have the links)


I hope you check it out! Not only is Cynthia incredibly sweet, she's also incredibly talented! I'm so looking forward to her dive into my fave genre, romantic suspense.

Yay for Monday!

I'm so glad it's Monday! Wait, did I actually say that? My husband needed help with research this weekend for one of his school projects so that's what we did most of Saturday and all of Sunday. Boring research! And not even the kind that will help me with writing. As a rule I actually kinda like the research aspect of things but this dealt with data, statistics (blech!) and a bunch of other nonsense that was coma-inducing. At least he's finally got what he needs to finish his paper though.


Since that took up the majority of my fun-filled weekend I didn't get much writing done. A bit of editing but nothing new made it onto the pages. We took a break on Saturday to see Salt and even though the man didn't want to like the movie, he did! (He grudgingly admitted it at the end.) There wasn't much dialogue, a lot of action, and there were some very small things I noted after the movie that tied in to the plot and main character that were well done. They all added to some surprisingly complex layering. Since it would be impossible to mention any of it without giving away spoilers, I'll save that for another blog when the movie has been out for a while. Did you see it this weekend? What did you think?


How was your weekend?

Friday!

How is it Friday already? I feel like I did NOTHING this week. I know I did b/c my word count went up but it's definitely been a weird week and I'm not exactly sure why. Nerves maybe? I'm waiting (shocking!) on some writing stuff so that's probably why. Sometimes the longer it gets--and by my impatient writer standards sometimes a week seems like forever, lol--the more antsy I get.


Oh well, it's Friday and I'm stoked! Why? Salt comes out tonight! The man doesn't really want to go b/c he doesn't care for Angelina Jolie which I think is slightly insane b/c I have a small massive girl crush on her. He's more into the wholesome girl next door look but I think the real reason he doesn't want to go is b/c he secretly digs Jennifer Aniston but whatever, we're seeing the movie! Since the first preview I've been dying for this goodness and it's finally here. Other than that, I'm strapping myself down in front of the computer and editing, editing, editing this weekend! Yes, my life is exciting. Don't hate too much. And for all you ladies going to Nationals next week, I'm totally hating, lol.


What are your plans for the weekend?

News!

In case you haven't noticed my blog header has changed thanks to Jax Cassidy. She also updated my website and my alter ego's website. I don't think she's taking any more clients at this time but here's here design site anyway: http://jaxadoradesign.com/ She's an amazing friend and I'm so thankful to have her in my life. I still can't believe she took the time to do all this for me :) Hugs to you, Jax!


In addition to those changes, I have awesome news! You might have seen this posted on Divas but if not, last Friday I received a call from Angela James offering me a contract with Carina Press! To say I'm stoked would be a serious understatement. When I saw the number on my cell I thought it was this annoying security company that keeps calling. So glad I was wrong! My editor emailed me yesterday so I figured it was okay to officially post the news here. I have a tentative release date of February 2011 but obviously anything could change. I'll post more details on the story itself later.


Oh, I almost forgot until I saw my calendar this morning. Caridad Pineiro posted an excerpt of my recent release from Ellora's Cave (Power Unleashed, 3rd book Miami Scorcher series) on her blog. It's just a teaser and if you comment you're entered to win a copy of the second book from the series.


And now I'm off to get some serious editing done!

Bring on the Weekend

All day yesterday I thought it was Friday and was soooo excited about today (which is really tomorrow) until Cynthia Eden kindly pointed out I was going out of my mind, lol. Okay, she didn't say that at all. She just told me what day it really was. *Sigh* For some reason this week has been really screwy. I was feeling under the weather the fist part of the week so that's probably why. Tomorrow is my second GCC chapter meeting and I'm really excited. The first one I met a lot of people and it was so much fun so I'm looking forward to this upcoming one. I really love my old chapter but there's definitely something to be said for southern hospitality. People here are just so insanely nice sometimes it makes me pause. That would be one of the big pros about living here :)


As my last reminder, Lisa Marie Rice is still blogging at Desert Island Keepers. Today she's sharing her five DIKs (Desert Island Keepers) and tomorrow she's sharing an excerpt from her upcoming book from Avon Red, Into the Crossfire. Also, today she's giving away a copy of Dangerous Passion and tomorrow, Dangerous Secrets. And if you missed yesterday, there's still time to enter to win a copy of Dangerous Lover (which features the hottest alpha male of all time!)


Now I'm off to get some serious editing done! What are your plans for the weekend?
