What Kings Ate and Wizards Drank now available

For the love of all that is holy, wait until next month to buy it. If I sell too many copies this month, I lose a bet and will have to post a video of me singing on Youtube. No one wants that.

Of course, the only place you buy it right now is  Amazon (more distributors to come over the weekend and next week) Looking for info on the print books and autographed copies? Click here for details!

P. S. Seriously, I’m very grateful for everyone’s support and interest in this book. So, go ahead, buy a copy. My pride can take the hit.

P.P.S. What is this bet all about? One night, after having my second glass of wine on an empty stomach and suffering mid-book depression, I was whining to author Debora Geary that I really hoped What Kings Ate sold at least 175 copies by the first royalty payment so that I could afford to take a university course that I had to cancel due to funds.

She laughed at me (because she is a mean, horrible person) and said I’d sell more than 175 Amazon ebook copies in my first month. I laughed and said if I sold that many, I’d sing You Are My Sunshine and dedicate it to her.

Um, oops.

So after I sobered up enough to realize what I’d just done, there was no backing out of it. Also, I hadn’t realized that she was going to tell everyone she knew about this. (Did I mention how she is a mean, horrible person?) So there you have it.

175 e-copies = me singing You Are My Sunshine posted on Youtube.

Ye gods.

Zombie Halloween Contest!

Are you celebrating Halloween?

I'll be spending the holiday fending off the brain eating zombies and blood sucking vampires that live on a small island in the middle of the Pacific Ocean.  Okay, they will really just be kids in costumes . . . unless a magical witches spell transforms them into the living dead!

In honor of Samhain, I'm giving away a copy of my newest novel NO BRAINER.

Grace Jones is a government-employed zombie killer. As a member of the elite Zombie Investigative Agency, she spends her days ridding the world of lower zombies. Her nine-to-five gig is turned upside down when she's assigned to investigate the zombie mafia's Red Brain Project. One of the members of her team is an ex-lover and the other is a zombie.

Ethan Waters is a zombie. Different from the brain-sucking and savage lower zombies, Ethan lives the more sophisticated life of an upper zombie. Ethan turns out to be the perfect compassionate foil to Grace's often emotionless slayer. Together Ethan and Grace battle the zombie mafia, have hot sex, and also find love.

ALERT:  NO BRAINER is an erotic romance (cuz that's what I write)!

After months of hiding out in the badlands, ex-Bringer Damian Junter has returned to Terra Noir to plot war with the East. The tide of public opinion is shifting against the corrupt Statesman Paulin, the man who accused Damian’s lover, Kell, of a murder he did not commit. With Kell as their leader, the Outlanders make the only move they can: revolution.

But the West isn't the only side gearing up for war. In the East, Statesman Paulin has been preparing a mechanical army of his own. When Kell sends Damian back home to spy, Damian has to fight against his own insecurities: Kell's ex-lover, Paul, is his right-hand man in this war. Damian trusts Kell with his life—but can he truly trust Kell with his heart?

Mahalo to Elisa Reviews!

THE REVOLUTIONARY is available through Dreamspinner Press here.

Backlist Paranormal Romances now on Amazon

Three down, one to go! As many know, Aspen Mountain Press closed doors last year. I had my paranormal romances there. It took me a while to get motivated to format them, plus two were in a publisher generated series(Del Fantasma) and all those references had to go. I have three up, and am working to get the last Del Fantasma edited into the Encanto Bay series. Still, it feels great to have them out in the world again!

Retelling Grimm

The Twelve Dancing, Zombie-Kiling Princesses is a fast, fun read that's a futuristic take on one of my favorite Grimm fairy tales, The Twelve Dancing Princesses. If you're not familiar with this particular Grimm story, you can check it out here. But while the original version contained no zombies, I wanted to give it a modern twist.

I had thought of subbing the novella around, but after finding this image, it was too perfect to pass on.

The Twelve Dancing Zombie-Killing Princesses is available at Amazon and Smashwords.

Here's the blurb:

Meilin’s never believed in fairy tales. Happy ever afters might have happened in the old days – before zombies. But this is 2089, and the zombies beyond City are nothing like the ones your parents warned you about.

When their father promises riches to the one who can rid their city of zombies, the twelve King sisters rush to develop a solution that won’t bankrupt Dad.

The war overseas left Will disillusioned, but fighting zombies at home is a cause he can embrace. Meilin’s another. Tough but sweet, she might make him believe in life again, and maybe even love, if she doesn’t kick his ass first.

When zombies kidnap her family, Meilin must rescue them. But can she and Will save them from the worst fate of all?
