My First Contract!

I'm so excited to annnounce that my debut novel Soul Catcher will be published with Decadent Publishing. I'm so stoked about the news. I will update everyone when I get more information.

Sorry, Couldn't Wait To Share!

I just got the cover for my novel, Torn Asunder which releases Jan 2011. It is a paranormal (witches and shape shifters), historical (regency-set), erotic romance. I am so excited to share for many reasons. The cover quote is obviously one. I have been reading and loving novels by NY Times Bestselling Author, Hannah Howell for years. I especially love her regency set ones with paranormal elements. Just finished If He's Wild this summer - amazing! Anyway, I have had to pinch myself to think of her reading one of my stories, let alone liking it. So you know, our last names are a cool coincidence - no relation. I also want to thank my cover artist, Emma Hillman for doing such a wonderful job and for putting up with me! LOL


So, he is the official unveiling of the cover...

Thanks for letting me gush here :) Guess I am feeling like a star-struck teen who just met one of my idols. You know, never-gonna-wash-this-hand, and all! Can't stop shaking! LOL

Enter my contest on my blog and win a copy of “Binding Spell”!

Demons can be sexy. They are dangerous and cunning, and live in lust. They are beautiful, dark angels, fallen long ago from grace, sometimes striving to return to heaven, or even just glimpse it through love or pleasure.

How would you describe demons in one word or phrase?

Go to my blog and leave your comments. One of you will win an electronic copy of my novella “Binding Spell” – the story of Mador, a demon summoned to help Jay, a mortal man in need, and his discovery of trust and love. I hope to see you there!

The Outlaw

Happy Release Day!

Today my m/m western steampunk "The Outlaw" is available through Dreamspinner Press!!  This story has two of the sexiest, most interesting men - I am totally in love with Kell and Damian!!

Outlander Kell Laughlin has been charged with murder, and though Damian Junter is assigned to find him in Terra Noir, the bounty hunter has his doubts about his quarry’s guilt. Damian won’t kill an innocent, so he must find Kell and get to know him—and the truth—before dispensing justice. It’s a decision that will lead to passion between them and expose political intrigue in the ruling aristocracy, endangering their lives and changing the world Damian knows forever.

Here's where my novella can be found:  Buy Link

Review for The Crown's Blade!

I am so excited! I got my first review for this short erotica story of mine which is out with Whispers Publishing.

From the review:
"Elinor is on a quest to find the Crown’s Blade; a weapon to defeat the evil Shadows that are destroying her world. When she stumbles upon a temple ruin, she discovers Indigo, a Tithere elf, awaiting death. She is drawn to his masculine beauty, and chooses to save his life. In return, she asks for his assistance on her quest. Now Elinor is torn between duty and desire. Perhaps Indigo is the answer to everything.
Dark fantasy is one of my favorite subgenres, and Jay Di Meo knows what she is doing. I loved this story. "

Casting Call and a giveaway

My short fantasy, The Duende and the Muse, was so much fun to write! Especially because I vividly imagined certain people as the hero and heroine. Who? Come find out on my blog, in this edition of my blog series Casting Call.

As a funny aside, I received an email from a casting company asking if I needed help finding actors for my film! If they can get these actors to play the parts, I might think about making one. :)

I'm also having a giveaway for Facebook fans - all you need to do is comment on my page to be in the running for a print copy of Surfacing. Oh, and be a fan. :)
