New Release!

An exciting and sizzling new anthology collection will be released from Liquid Silver Books later today! Lots of diversity in the material, too, everything from Historical to vampire, to action adventure. Some material is being re-released, since it hasn't been available for awhile, and several stories are brand new! Some are highly erotic, others are sensual and seductive. I hope you'll sample this one and savor my Passionate Kisses....

Passionate Kisses
Genre: Multi-genre Anthology (erotic)

ISBN: 978-1-59578-372-1

Date: September 3rd, 2007

Cover by: April Martinez

Publisher: Liquid Silver Books

Passionate Kisses is a collection of seven short stories, three of which have been previously published. In this single volume you’ll meet agents who risk not only their lives but their hearts as they struggle to survive in an often harsh and heartless world; a jaded Colonel returning from the Civil War who finds solace for his soul in the arms of woman he’s just met; a vampire who unknowingly condemns all of his kind to the eternal night; a couple who live busy lives that often keep them apart, so they make their own special magic hidden away in the mountains

The collection includes the following tales of erotic romance:

ANY OTHER WAY, (Contemporary, previously published by Amber Quill Press): Protected Federal Witness, Carlos D’Alejandro and Agent Jade Whinton have had a relationship of convenience over the years, but when the people they love are killed, these two unlikely lovers are forced to face a truth neither of them has been willing to examine too closely, that their passion is more than intense attraction…

DESTINY MET (Post-Civil War): As the soldiers of the defeated Confederacy slowly make their way to the broken South, a jaded hero finds unexpected comfort in the arms of a lovely woman who has waited a lifetime to meet her destiny…

BOUND (Contemporary, previously published by AQP) : Halloween is the setting for a very private party between two lovers, one of them a world-class, sophisticated intelligence operative who’s trying to teach his young and innocent lady that curiosity can sometimes take you places you’d be better not to go…

PERDITION (Historical vampire): Set in the ancient city of Alexandria, approximately 300 B.C., a High Priest in the Temple of Ra is seduced by an enigmatic woman who gives him immortality. Later, in the court of Pontius Pilate, at the trial of a man revered as the son of God, the Priest whispers a word of advice into the wrong ear, and condemns all of his kind to an eternity in darkness…

DREAM SEQUENCE (Contemporary, previously published by AQP): Two modern lovers, living often separate lives, discover that making time for romance isn’t always easy, but the romance of their secret getaways is purely the stuff of dreams…

1-900-SURPRISE! (Contemporary): Late home from a Congressional Hearing, agent Martin Fowler decides to introduce his young lover, Daniella Renault, to the intimacies of sex via the telephone…

THE HUNT: (Contemporary/Vampire, previously published by AQP) Nicholas is ancient, and his current lover, Callandra, is one of the few women he has known over centuries who not only enjoys the hunt, she glories in it. Tonight, their lust for blood and each other will take them to a murky underground nightclub, where the vampires will quench all their hungers...

I hope you enjoy this collection of tales both erotic and highly sensual. Let me know, okay?

AND, don't forget that my first major print release is now available in bookstores everywhere! As Fate Decrees, a new fantasy novel based on the mythology of Ancient Greece! It's also available online direct from the publisher, (who is offering FREE shipping in North America), and at Amazon.com and Amazon.ca! Details on my website!!

Musings and wanderings...

Sometimes you find yourself wondering and wandering, doing all kinds of mental aerobics as you contemplate written words and how worthwhile they might be to someone other than yourself. I’m having one of those days, can’t you tell? So I thought I’d just have a mindless amble along my own internal pathways and do it with words! Hey, writers do this stuff and call it therapeutic, don’t ya know?

It’s been an exciting and exhausting week, the release of my first major book, the idea of publicly sitting down to talk to an audience about the book, it’s creation, my thoughts on the process, and actually signing copies of the thing for total strangers. It’s overwhelming and exciting and somewhat terrifying, even though this is supposed to be the pay-off at the end of a long and excruciating process. I say supposed to be because the jury is still out on how rewarding it will all be to my over-taxed nerves and brain! You’re laughing now, I can feel it. People who know me are laughing… and they haven’t seen me face my audience yet!

Have discovered, via a much more observant friend, that I’ve been listed with Barnes and Noble, too, which is majorly exciting… What can I say, it doesn’t take much to make me happy as a rule, so I’m easily amused. Oh, and somewhat self-deprecating in case you haven’t noticed that before! Irony is a lovely thing…

I have about a dozen new projects on the go at the moment, but today is one of those days when none of them look good, honestly. Have taken to actually reading some of it, and that’s never a good idea for me. I usually don’t read anything I write, unless I have to, then it’s usually only to do the line edits. I love the story in my head, I’m not always wild about it once it’s on paper.

At any rate, I’ve probably babbled more than enough with this, so I will close this post with a wish that all of you are having a fabulous weekend. I’d love to hear from you once you’ve read the new fantasy, As Fate Decrees, since it is a real achievement and authors love to hear their readers comments, believe me. Take care of yourselves, one and all, and thank you for staying with me on this amazing journey…

I'm giving away a book today!

WANT TO TOUR THE WORLD IN TEN MINUTES? NEED SOME GOOD "GUIDE" BOOKS?

If time could be altered and you could take a 10 minute trip around the world, where would you go? What "guide" books might you need?

We have some suggestions:

Your first stop in this 10 min. tour should be Greece.

Who doesn't like Greece, with their ruins, culture, and extreme heat. To prepare for this first stop, read As Fate Decrees by Denysé Bridger and brush up on your Greek mythology. Set in ancient Greece herself, this book becomes available tomorrow (August 15th, 2007) through amazon.com, amazon.ca, and directly from the EDGE website. Let Denysé be your guide. Her
recent interview podcast even has some great advice on writing and getting published.

Podcast Interview

If you don't like the heat, perhaps this second stop will be more to your liking.

Strap on your skis and go to The Colorado Book Awards (see below for the link) where Rebecca K. Rowe's novel "Forbidden Cargo" is a finalist. The awards are held on October 17th 2007. After the awards, curl up by the warm, cozy, stone fireplace and follow the adventures of the Imagofas of "Forbidden Cargo" in their daring attempt to return to Mars from Earth.

Perhaps you would prefer to travel further south?

Then come down to Mexico and experience the infamous Gypsies' lifestyle. Amber Hayward's novel "Darkness of the God" follows Ana in her outright battle with Caldos for psychic supremacy.

This trip would yours to take, if only you could travel around the world in 10 minutes.

For now, we hope you can be satisfied by reading these "guide" books:

Something sweet to ponder

Occasionally I find something that really makes me smile, and this was one of those things so I thought I'd share it with everyone.

* * *

A Dog's Purpose - (from a 4 year old)

Being a veterinarian, I was called to examine a ten year old Irish wolfhound named Belker.

The dog's owners, Ron, his wife Lisa and their little boy, Shane, were all very attached to Belker and they were hoping for a miracle.

I examined Belker and found he was dying of cancer. I told the family we couldn't do anything for Belker, and offered to perform the euthanasia procedure for the old dog in their home.As we made arrangements, Ron and Lisa told me they thought it would be good for the four-year-old Shane to observe the procedure. They felt as though Shane might learn something from the experience.

The next day, I felt the familiar catch in my throat as Belker's family surrounded him. Shane seemed so calm, petting the old dog for the last time, that I wondered if he understood what was going on. Within a few minutes, Belker slipped peacefully away.

The little boy seemed to accept Belker's transition without any difficulty or confusion.

We sat together for a while after Belker's death, wondering aloud about the sad fact that animal lives are shorter than human lives. Shane, who had been listening quietly, piped up, "I know why."

Startled, we all turned to him. What came out of his mouth next stunned me. I'd never heard a more comforting explanation.

He said, "People are born so that they can learn how to live a good life -- like loving everybody all the time and being nice, right? Well, dogs already know how to do that, so they don't have to stay as long.

"Live simply. Love generously. Care deeply. Speak kindly. Leave the rest to God."

Interview - Contest - Promo

Yes, it is all three, but in such a beautiful presentation. If you have a moment, drop by and leave a comment, and you'll be entered in the contest. The book being given away is the darkly seductive vampire thriller Descent Into Darkness, and of course, I always appreciate your thoughts and comments much more than you may realize.
