Anyone want to write a story for this??

All right, here's the idea a friend of mine suggested to me that everyone is welcome to participate in. A collection of short, sexy reads that feature your fantasy lovers/heroes. I want to put this together with a few writers, or readers who want to write, who would like to test the waters of erotic romance. If you're interested, let me know, okay? The book is called STUDS 'R US, and is meant to be fun. I'm going to find a proofreader, and a local friend is doing a cover for the fun.

It's simple: Pick a really hot, sexy hero, and write a short story about him. I'm thinking the sub-theme here could be tradesmen, (i.e. carpenters, plumbers, landscapers, etc.), and let's see how steamy your story can be.

If this works out, and 6-10 fun stories can be pulled together for the collection, I can then offer it via my website as one ofthe "freebies" for everyone to enjoy. Sound like something you might want to write a "quickie" for??? Let me know, okay?

Word count in the 5000 word range, and a deadline ofNovember 18th, and we'll see if things can be ready for Christmas!That gives you a shot at Holiday themes, too!! Have fun and email me if you want to participate, okay?

Interview at "The Vampire's Crypt"

Recently, my good friend and fellow author Margaret Carter decided to add a new feature to her monthly newsletter, an interview. So, to my great pleasure, she asked me to be her first "guest" and answer a few questions. It was fun, and I hope you'll drop over to Margaret's group and check out her October newsletter. She writes wonderful vampire tales and fantasy, so if you haven't read any of Margaret's books, take the time to locate them and enjoy them, they're great!!!

Vampire erotic romance novel...

DESCENT INTO DARKNESS
Genre: Historical/Vampire
ISBN: 1-59578-284-2
Date: October 16th, 2006
Cover by: April Martinez
Publisher: Liquid Silver Books (http://lsbooks.com/)


Spanning almost two centuries Descent Into Darkness is the erotic love story of an ancient vampire and the mortal woman who is his obsession.

Alexander DeLenoir is an ancient creature of the night, born in a betrayal that has left him without conscience or morality. He’s witnessed history that is now myth. Throughout his long life, Alexander has seldom sought companionship, and never has he looked for love. He has kept two of his immortal children with him, through whatever means necessary, and is not intending to expand his family.

Arriving at a small Massachusetts town after killing the sailors on their ship, the vampire trio meets the mysterious and lonely wife of the innkeeper, and Alexander is entranced by her beauty and her indomitable spirit. In Amberlaine Calvert, he senses a nature as dark and depraved as his own seeking freedom. Despite the protests of his companions, Alexander takes her and in adoration of him finds an obsessive kind of happiness.

When the town slowly awakens to the evil among them, a bloody slaughter ensues, and Amberlaine is forced to see the madness that will define her life with Alexander. Yet, in spite of her fear, she is obsessively devoted to the powerful vampire, and the darker things she feels lurking within her are about to be unleashed by a hunger even greater than her passion—the thirst for revenge against those who dare to threaten their existence…

For Immediate Release

Hi - Janice here from EDGE Science Fiction and Fantasy Publishing...

I just want to give you a "heads up" on the BookShorts MOVING STORIES premiere.

It will include a short animated film based on our latest book, "i-ROBOT Poetry by Jason Christie". The show will be broadcast on BookTelevision TONIGHT, Thursday, September 28 at 8pm EST and on The Canadian Learning Channel, Sunday, October 8th at 8:30am EST. Tune in ....

You will never look at your toaster or hair dryer the same way again.

In Jason Christie's collection of ROBOT poems, robots and other "sentient" animated appliances and are openly lamenting their positions as slaves to human desires -- and dreaming of finding their own identities and destinies!

The BookShort animation is based on Christie's "i-ROBOT Poetry by Jason Christie" - a collection of highly intelligent "ROBOTICA" poems - and is a stunning analysis of the world of robots, their inner emotions and what they perceive of the men and machines around them.

Some of the robotic devices featured in the poems are garborators, refrigerators, and washing machines. They even get the blues: "Why do I have to be one of millions? Why can't I just be a lonely little one in search of a zero to call my own?..."

Tune in to the BookShorts MOVING STORIES premiere tomorrow night at 8pm EST or catch the Canadian Learning Channel premiere on Sunday, October 8th at 8:30am EST.

Sounds great, doesn’t it??

Blogging at SEx today!

I know I posted this a few days back, but I finally figured out what I was going to talk about, so the post is up at SEx - Silver Expressions, and the comments are coming in for the mini-contest, so I hope you'll pop over and see what's happening. I chose vampires as a topic, and that pretty well guarantees discussion, which was the point of it all.

So, drop in and see what's going on. The URL is: www.liquidsilverbooks.com/blog

See ya later...

Another new contract, and a new publisher, too!

Well, it's been a busy week already and it's only Tuesday!! Got word last night that a short story I submitted quite awhile back has been contracted by an ePublisher I haven't worked with before. So, the contract is signed, and things are in the works for me to add my name to the roster at New Concepts Publishing. The story is another of those Action/Thriller type things I seem to be doing so much of these days, but this one is heavily laced with a Martial Arts them, and it's called Silent Death. I'm starting to get overwhelmed, but in a good way, of course!!

Anyhow, will keep everyone up to date as I get closer to knowing when this one will be available. I have to get a page done for my website, but may wait until there's an actual cover to go with the excerpt and blurb. Depends on how busy I get later today. We'll see...

Oh, stay tuned for the arrival of the third Rebel Knight installment, too. I'm just finishing that up, too. Chapter Three is called "Spirit's Edge" and deals a little with cult mentality in a small town, and our hero ends up right in the middle of it all!!

My kinda vampire...

Now this is a vampire I could go for... Of course, it is that Townsend guy...

SEx - Silver Expressions

Hi again! Almost forgot, I'll be blogging at the Liquid Silver Books official blog, SEx, WEDNESDAY (the 27th) morning, as well as running a mini-contest there, so drop by and see what's happening. I think the topic of the day will be vampire heroes/anti-heroes... Let's have some fun this subject, okay?

Hope to see you there!

*NEW* Book excerpts

Okay, I finally got organized and have added lengthy excerpts to my newsgroup for all the books currently with Liquid Silver Books, the two that are currently available, and those that are coming soon. At least a couple of them, anyway... There are LOTS of titles in the coming soon queue, and I am slowly getting to them, honestly!!

If anyone wants me to add excerpts like these for the Amber Quill Press titles, let me know via the newsgroup, or leave a comment to that effect, and I'll see about getting them ready and posted, okay?

Also, don't forget the monthly FREE eBook contest, it's still running, so if there's something you'd like to win, drop by the website, make a selection from the BOOKS page, and send me an email with your choice. It's that simple. The winner is announced at the first of each month on the newsgroup and the blog.

Exciting new project

Well, I've been hinting that something exciting is in the works, so it's about time to tell everyone what's happening. For those of you who've been checking in regularly, you know all about my "modern western" serialized story with Branscombe Richmond, the Rebel Knight tale. Now there's going to be a second serial. The new one is work in conjunction with Branscombe's new television show, Good Morning, Hawaii. The plan at this point is to write a serialized romance novel set on the islands. It will be part historical and part contemporary. We're in early stages at this point, but if it all comes together as planned, I'll have the proposal story done in a week or so, then the first chapter will be written afterward. All in all, we're probably looking at a month before this appears. BUT, the cover has been designed by a local friend, and it's in the Photos section of my newsgroup, so stop in and have a look, all right?

Also, the first reviews for my debut novel with Liquid Silver Books have been fabulous!! I'm so pleased, honestly. Review excerpts are on my website and the newsgroup. The one I'm dying to know about is, of course, my Victorian mystery/romance, so I can't wait to see those!! Here's hoping the reviews are good...

I'll be adding a couple of new, extended book excerpts to the newsgroup over the next couple of days, so I hope you'll drop in, and sign up, and jump into the group with lots to say. See ya there, and thanks to everyone for all their support and interest. You can never know how much it means to a writer to know that readers are enjoying the work, but trust me, it means everything, it really does.
