#Twitchy is coming to Authors After Dark

First of all I want to thank EVERY SINGLE ONE OF YOU. Because Authors After Dark is one of my VERY favorite conventions every single year, and the reason for that is YOU.

Meeting all the readers is simply so much fun I can't even begin to tell you what it means to me to be included, and the fact that I'm welcome back every year tells me that you just might think I'm pretty cool too ;) That and I bribe my way in. KIDDING! If you've met Stella you know that's not possible.

Anyway, my first AAD was in New Orleans (which was AMAZING!!!) I made so many new friends and had such an amazing time and I WON THE BOOKIE FOR HISTORICAL ROMANCE!! Which, was shocking to me. Obviously because I got up and said something like, "Oh Shit!" Yeah, I did NOT see that coming at all.

That award has meant so much to me over the last couple years because it was voted on by readers, and you are my peeps. When you're an author there isn't anyone more important than a reader.

So THANK YOU. From the bottom of my heart, thank you.

The big PIIINK book, a.k.a. The Rake And The Recluse : REDUX lived on the time travel charts for OVER a YEAR. That's because of you guys.

Well, that thing is over and done with. I have a new book out (I KNOW!! IT DID TAKE ME AWHILE!!!) But I was busy making cover images for some people you might know, like this:


and this:


and this: 


and this: 


and this: 


and possibly a few others you might recognize. AND I HAVE LOVED EVERY SECOND OF IT. 

But it was time for me to get back to writing... and shooting my OWN stuff. So I did, and I have, and the next Illustrated Romance is available TODAY. 

ABSOLUTE SURRENDER, the book formerly known as #Twitchy: 



I can't tell you how excited I am about this book.
Stupid excited. 

You can pick her up on 



So here's the deal. I have copies that I'll be bringing with me to Authors After Dark in Charlotte, these are special because they're signed by the cast. Charles, Amelia and Hugh will all sign the book. BUT I NEED TO KNOW HOW MANY. Guys, I'm getting on a plane. Yes I'll bring books, but how many is completely dependent on the preorders, and ONLY preorders will have all the signatures in them, because these people live all over the country and rounding them up isn't easy. 

So IF YOU WOULD LIKE the trade edition of #Twitchy, you need to order it THIS WEEK from my website HERE. 

When you pay, you can leave a comment and tell me WHO to have it signed to, and WHERE you'll pick it up (Authors After Dark) and I'll have your book ready for you when you arrive. 

YAY!! 

I am so very much looking forward to seeing everyone and having a good time. Until then see you online!! 






*hugs* and *smooches*

Join the Hunt! The Forsaken by the Others Blog Tour Has Started...

Coming July 2, 2013!

The Others–vampires, werewolves, things that go chomp in the night–don’t just live in nightmares anymore. They’ve joined with he mortal world. And for private investigator Shiarra Waynest, that means mayhem…
Have a one night stand with a vampire, and you can end up paying for it for eternity. P.I. Shiarra Waynest, an expert on the Others, knows that better than most. Yet here she is, waking up beside charismatic vamp Alec Royce with an aching head…and neck. Luckily, Shia has the perfect excuse for getting out of town–namely, a couple of irate East Coast werewolf packs who’d like to turn her into a chew toy.

On Royce’s suggestion, Shia temporarily relocates to Los Angeles. But something is rotten–literally–in the state of California, where local vampires are being attacked by zombies. Who could be powerful enough to control them–and reckless enough to target the immortal? Following the trail will lead Shia to a terrifying truth, and to an ancient enemy with a personal grudge…

A Calculated Seduction is Reissued

I just released another reissue this week! It was one of my first few books ever published ;)


A CALCULATED SEDUCTION
Dulcy Menendez has enough problems dealing with her stepmother and two stepsisters. She doesn't need her sexy new boss, Ethan MacMillan, watching her every move. Especially since every time she catches his gray eyes studying her, her pulse races and her mind conjures up images of the two of them naked.
Security expert Ethan has taken over his uncle's company to ferret out an embezzler, and he's sure Dulcy has something to do with it. He decides, against his better judgment, to seduce the secrets out of her, planning on stopping short of taking her to bed. One limo ride later, and a very determined Dulcy, causes Ethan to decide between work and love. When the sun rises, the truth is revealed, leaving them with one question: What do both of them do when they find themselves in love with a person they can't trust?

Desire by Blood

Coming this July, I am going to have my first ever vampire book. Yeah, I know everyone will tell me it is old hat, that people are sick of them, but my By Blood series is really a book of the heart. I am lucky enough thanks to self-pubbing that I can do things like this.

When I was still gunning for a New York contract(2008 time frame) I came up with an idea for a world built within the ton. A group of vampires that had their own rules and classes. Those of the highest order are born, not made, and those that are Made...well, I won't go into the whole rule structure right now. Because I wanted to make sure that people knew it was a paranormal and historical. I had the help of Jenn LeBlanc with the pics and Kendra Egert did the cover redesign(both ladies will be at AAD). This is one of the the books I will be signing, will have all kinds of goodies for at AAD, and one of the two series I will be celebrating at my Cursed N Blood Affair.

DESIRE BY BLOOD
Book One
 A Vampire Alliance Novel
Coming this July to print and digital from Melissa Schroeder Publishing

A man with a secret.

Nicodemus Blackburn has seen the best and worst of mankind. Five hundred years of dealing with them teaches the vampire to be very wary of the creatures. Unfortunately, alarming events leave him no choice but to enter the world of the ton to hunt a rogue vampire—one who is making his own army of blood thirsty vampires. Searching for the villain is not the worst of his troubles. That can be laid at the feet of bluestocking Lady Cordelia Collingsworth.

A woman on a mission.

Cordelia has always been an outcast, even in her own family. She has forged her way in the world with her ability to write, and Nico Blackburn is the focus of her next article. Before she can obtain any information about the mysterious man, she is pulled headlong into a scandal that leaves her with no choice but to marry Nico—a man with dangerous secrets.

A passion that consumes them both.

Thrust into a world she knows nothing of, Cordelia finds herself falling in love with a man who claims to be a vampire. As their passion grows, so does the danger around them and Nico will have to call on all of his powers to protect the one thing he has realized he cannot live without: his opinionated, infuriating, and thoroughly delectable wife.
