Dragon's Sanity is Released!
Dragon’s Sanity Book 2 McDrakken Warriors
Lyrical Press, Inc. (www.lyricalpress.com)
Can an amnesiac warrior recover his memories in time to find his missing love and help his entire race?
     The red dragon warrior appeared out of a storm, a traumatic injury, leaving him only with the memory of the name of Jackson. Suffering from agonizing seizures, he dreams and draws intricate portraits of the same ethereal woman.
      After a making his way across the snowy lands to the remote cabin he’s seen in his dreams, Jackson tries to unlock the door of memories to discover who he--and the woman haunting his vision--are.
      Will the angelic face of his dreams be the one to open the door or will the darkness of his missing past overwhelm any chance of love and recovery?
 Content Warning: A sexy dragon warrior chivalrous to the core. He can just as easily handle a sword, a drawing pencil, or skim a finger over a woman’s body. An evil Councilor’s defiance against destiny and a beloved leader.
 Excerpt:
      Jackson hissed when her fingers drifted away from his thigh. Unable to let go of the tentative provocative connection, he took hold of her hand. Lifting it, his thumb brushed against her fingertips. Staring at the various palm lines, he traced a forefinger down the creases. Though her hand was soft and feminine, he found evidence of the hard work it took to upkeep the cabin and land at the base of her fingers.
      A shiver raced up the arm he held. Lifting her hand, he pressed his lips lightly to the tips. His tongue slipped out to touch her skin. When a gasp left her, he looked up and met Marissa’s eyes.
       “Mari, I… It’s been a while,†he whispered.
       “Ssh,†she said, pressing her other fingers to his mouth to shush him. “I understand. I’ve wanted you since you walked inside my home.â€
      His eyes widened at her answer, and he looked at the area around them. He brushed back the papers and gently drew her down to the lush, thick rug warmed by the fire. He heard a growl from Snow. Snarling back, Jackson grinned when the dog trotted off.

What's Been Happening?
What's been happening since the last post over two weeks ago??
Another dragon story will be coming your way... After Dragon's Grace, you will learn more about the world of the McDrakken Warriors, the lore, the mythology in Dragon's Sanity. The contract has been signed and mailed in to Lyrical Press. Yay! While the second book is starting to enter the magical world of editing, I'm working on the third book tentatively called Dragon's Betrayal.
I've finally had a wonderful peak of interest from an editor at Loose Id in Gideon's story and am hoping for good news. As anyone who knows, Gideon and his brothers long hold a special place in my heart and I hope to publish their stories and introduce them to readers. Keep your fingers cross for good news.
Another bit of news, the angel/incubus story passed the first round at Ellora and is on to the editor's round and will be waiting. I'm also waiting to hear about my catamount story from Samhain.
So lots of stories are out and about in the submission process. Lots of stories are in the WIPs process.

Dragon's Grace Update & Cover
Hello again!
Tentative release date of April 19, 2010! From Lyrical Press, Inc., comes the first novella in my MacDrakken series of dragon warriors and guardians -- Dragon's Grace.
TAG: Can a battered dragon warrior overcome past mistakes?
BLURB:
After an attack by dark wraiths, exiled guardian Allauria Grace, treks up a mountain in the middle of a snowstorm to locate her dragon. Once there, she finds a reluctant Callum MacDrakken. In fact, he wants nothing to do with her and refused to let her in his haven.
They battle through memories of a tangled past and a devastating injury that left Callum unable to transform into his dragon form.
With the looming threat of wraiths and the possibility of Allauria becoming one herself, they wonder if there is still a chance for this dragon to have his mate.

New Year Updates n News!
Happy belated New Year to everyone! My poor blog has been so forgotten this past year and I know I must get back into the habit of creating blogs and updating this poor thing.
So... Here we go.. What has been happening since November??
Edits! Edits! And, you guess it, more edits! Luckily that process is behind me and my lovely editor, Lea, and the novella - Dragon's Grace - moved forward. So much that I have a tag and blurb to share with all of you and a cover!! OMG! This cover is fabulous! Ever so sexy, but not forgetting my beloved dragon. I hope that you all will love the story of Callum and Lauri as much as I've enjoyed writing them. They've been through a lot, but love will still find a way to hold on.
In between edits, holidays, and work - I've been working on the next book in the MacDrakken series. Tentatively it's called Dragon's Sanity. It has a new hero and heroine not seen in earlier book, but questions risen within the first book will begin to find answers here. Plus, I'm adding more information about the wonderful world of the dragon warriors and guardians.
I have another short story with Samhain - a group of sexy cougars in the Northwest.
Okay, I think I have everything for now. My next post will be the fantabulous cover and blurb for Dragon's Grace! Hopefully it will be up and ready for sale in April 2010!
Hugs and purrs to all!

NaNo Time & New Contract
So much to say.. so far behind.
It is day 10 of NaNoWriMo (http://www.nanowrimo.org). For those who haven't heard of this wonderful site, you sign up (for free) to write a 50,000 word novel from midnight Nov 1st to Midnight Nov 30th. One complete novel. This doesn't mean writing one word 50,000 times. Uhuh.. You need to figure out characters, plot, action, dialogue and all that is around it within this steadfast deadline that looms ahead of you.
Me.. I'm 15,925 words in my new YA fantasy novel. I wasn't planning on writing a YA. I wanted to work on a new paranormal romance, but it didn't happen that way. I wasn't sure what to write up until Nov 1st hit me. Then a few days before, these young characters came forward and started talking to me.
First, a young man captured and held during the time of the Holocaust started telling me his story. Then came another young lady who bound herself in special ribbons to hold back her magic. Slowly, seven teens in all, from various paranormal races and historical times, came forward to combine into one team. Leading them is a powerful sorcerer called Alistair.
Their powers are only beginning to be understood. Two characters have yet to appear in the story. The evil they are facing is still a very BIG unknown. Not sure what they will face, if they even face it in this beginning story... Though, it's something I could see being publish when it's cleaned up and better organized. I can see these teens coming together, each one coming forward in a story their own, but adding to the team, not taking over.
We'll see as NaNo continues on and the words keep adding up to the final count. That's the beauty of NaNo, you never know what it'll throw at you and your pesky muse.
As for the new contract... Well.. I'm still in complete and utter awe of this. My novella, Dragon's Grace, was accepted by Lyrical Press, Inc. I found this wonderful email in my inbox when I woke up on Nov 1st, all ready to begin NaNo. Instead this email made me stop, cry in glee when I read those wonderful words, and dance around my apartment. I even made the titillating news announcement to my parents and grandparents when I saw them later for dinner.
Sigh.. A first true novella with my name on the cover. As more news comes along, I will pass it on.
Until then, happy dreams. Happy writing.
