NEWS FROM DEEP, DEEP IN THE CAVE

Posted by dbreynolds on September 16, 2019

Another week deep, deep in the cave. I’m happy to say that Shifter Planet:The Return is fully in the hands of my publisher now. My part is done. I’m waiting on the cover, which I hope to see this week. And I should have pre-order information for you, too. Since we’ve moved up the release date, we’re on a very short schedule, which means any pre-order would be very close to the release date of October 14th. But I’ll let you know what they decide.

In the meantime, I’m back with DRAGAN, this time for good. His release date will be November 2019, though I don’t have a specific day yet. This has been one hell of a year. What made me think I could manage 3 books in one year?? I’m not exactly a sun-lover anyway, but I’m going to be pasty pale by the time I deliver DRAGAN.😎

Don’t forget LACHLAN is still an Amazon Kindle monthly deal in the U.S. and Canada through the end of September. Only $1.99 (USD & CDN) for the e-book.

Once I’ve sent DRAGAN off, I’ll be in full prep mode for SHAMELESS BOOK CON in Orlando, FL. I’ll be there for the full convention, including the public signing which will be Saturday, 10/19/19. Tickets can be purchased HERE! I’d love to see all of you! By the way, if you’re planning on being there, PLEASE let me know if there’s a specific book you’d like to have signed, so I can be sure to have the right number of copies with me.

One final note, readers/listeners have been asking about the next Vampires in America audiobook, which would be LUCIFER. (I love my Lucifer, he’s such a romantic.) I checked with my publisher, and they’re switching off with The Stone Warriors series for now. Tantor will be doing all five books in a row, to finish that series. And then we’ll be going back to LUCIFER and my Vampires.

And now it’s back to the cave for me. Take care.

A QUICK BIT OF NEWS

Posted by dbreynolds on September 9, 2019

They need to add another “work” ahead of “eat,” because I’m so deep in the cave this week that I’ve barely left the house. Except for the gym, which I can’t miss if I’m to get strong enough for my next big trip. But more on that in later weeks.

I do have big SHIFTER PLANET news this week, however. This news is half of why I’m dwelling in the cave. SHIFTER PLANET: THE RETURN (yes, we have a title!) will release on October 14! I’m so happy! First, because I’m eager to share the story with all of you. And second, because this means I’ll have copies to sign at SHAMELESS 19 in Orlando. If you’re going to be at the conference, or if you’re coming to the SIGNING ONLY, PLEASE let me know you’re coming, so I can be sure to bring enough of whatever titles you want. You can email me at dbreynoldswriter@gmail.com or dbreynoldswriter@live.com, or you can respond to this post.

Now, for the exciting details…
SHIFTER PLANET:THE RETURN
October 14, 2019
(cover coming soon)

BLURB:
Rachel Fortier is a much sought-after expert when it comes to exotic planets—especially the deadly kind. So when she’s hired by Earth Fleet’s most respected scientist to join a mission to the tightly closed planet Harp, it’s a dream come true. Until she discovers their mission is to capture shifters and sell them to the Military.

Shifter Aidan Devlin is on patrol far from his clan when he sees a shuttlecraft landing where it definitely shouldn’t be. As the invaders emerge, he’s surprised to see a lone lovely woman, who doesn’t seem to belong. But when he’s captured and put in a cage, he has no one but her to help him escape.

Drawn together by a hunger they can’t resist, and desperate to discover who betrayed Harp, Aidan and Rachel first have to survive a deadly journey to the city. But once there, they find themselves confronted by a conspiracy that goes even deeper. Because Harp is harboring a traitor. And he’s willing to destroy their world—and everything in it—to get what he wants.

—————

And with that, I’m back to work, galley-proofing SHIFTER PLANET:THE RETURN (last chance to find errors,) and then back once more to finish writing DRAGAN, who’s been very patient with all these stops and starts.

EXCITING STUFF GOING ON!

Posted by dbreynolds on August 26, 2019

Good news…I completed the copy edits for Shifter Planet 2 (which still doesn’t have a final name) last week. That means it’s very close to the finished product, which should also mean a release date. No one’s shared that date with me, nor do I have a cover or a final title. I hope to have at least two of those things this week. Fingers crossed. I’ll definitely be letting you know the release date and title, just as soon as I have them, and I’ll likewise share the cover the minute it’s finalized.

I’m finishing up the final big scenes for DRAGAN, then he’ll be off to my editor. He’s definitely scheduled for November. It’s handy to know that. It’s too early for a cover, though. This cover’s going to be complicated, since my beautiful DRAGAN has…wings. He can hide them, but I really want them on the cover. He’s too magnificent to hide.

WHERE IN THE WORLD IS DBR GOING TO BE NEXT?

The Gathering is an on-line event, and REGISTRATION is free. I don’t know the date of my interview yet, but I’ll post it as soon as I know. I’ll be doing a giveaway during my interview, too.

SHAMELESS is in October, in Orlando. There are still some tickets left, but they’re going fast. I’m really hoping to have Shifter Planet 2 available to sign at the convention–they tell me I will.

November 8-10, I’ll be at the Fresh Fiction Readers & ritas weekend in Allen/Dallas TX. There are lots of events as part of the weekend, and I’m lucky enough to join 3 fantastic authors—Rebecca Zanetti, Julia London, and Jennifer Estep will be there, too.

SOPHIA is on sale through the end of August. Her ebook is only $0.99.
GABRIEL is also on sale ’til the end of August. His ebook is only $1.99.
And, LACHLAN, remains a Kindle monthly special on Amazon.au (Australia.) AUD1.49 through the end of August.

That’s all the news for now. I’m off to spend some more time with my DRAGAN. I do love writing his story.

Take care ’til next time.

xoxo

I’M BACK & THERE’S A LOT TO TALK ABOUT!

Posted by dbreynolds on August 12, 2019

Three weeks traveling on the northeastern part of the continent, visiting fellow writers and friends, taking part in RWA’s national convention, and ending up in Washington DC where I met with more friends and readers. Starting in Toronto where I visited with my good friend and wonderful writer, Angela Addams who showed me some of Toronto, before we had a mini-reunion with members of our writing group the OWG, which was on Kelley Armstrong’s original website. So many of those writers have gone on to publishing success. I’m both proud and grateful to have belonged. The picture above is Angie and I at Casa Loma, before we headed out for my first taste of poutine (delicious!) and my first tattoo which I love! The redness all went away–that’s just my pale skin which doesn’t like needles or anything else. I had to remove the clear bandage after a day, because my whole lower arm was beginning to look like raw chicken, from the adhesive. Gross. But the tattoo is beautiful!!And let’s not forget the day I walked all the way down to Blue Jay Stadium, in the heat and humidity, to see what looked like goblins from my hotel room window, only to discover they were just people. At least for the walk back I had a Starbuck’s frappuccino to keep me cool(ish.)

Then it was on to RWA New York, for a fabulous conference with so many writer friends, old and new. First there I am with the inestimable Damon Suede, who presented what might be the most useful lecture I’ve ever attended on creating and writing realistic characters. And then there’s Damon and I with our newly discovered child, paranormal romance author Tessa McFionn, who’s not really that short, as you can see in the third photo which is Julie Fine, Tessa McFionn, and I.
And finally on to beautiful Washington, DC, where I was lucky enough to finally meet the lovely and talented Nita Banks who makes all those beautiful book trailers for me, and so much else. I also had lunch x 2 with several readers, which is one of my favorite things to do. I can’t tell you how many friends I’ve made after meeting up with them as readers.

But now, it’s back home to work, work, work. Although, truthfully, I don’t mind leaving the humidity behind on the other coast. No, the heat isn’t always dry in California, but it usually is, and when it’s not, it’s nowhere near as wet. Whew! No complaints, though. I had a wonderful time.

And now for book news!
GABRIEL has been selected as a Kindle monthly special by Amazon.com and Amazon.ca (Canada.) Only US$1.99 (or CDN$1.99) for the e-book through the month of August.

And, LACHLAN, remains a Kindle monthly special on Amazon.au (Australia.) AUD1.49 through the end of August.

And that’s it for now! I’m happy to say that Shifter Planet Book Two is in the publisher’s final stages of preparation, so it’s looking good for an early release (September?) I hope I’ll soon have a firm release date, a cover, and, oh yeah, the final title for you! 😀

And now I’m back to DRAGAN who’s been waiting patiently for me to finish his story. Have a great week, and I’ll see you right back here next Monday.

xoxo

ANOTHER EXCITING WEEK?

Posted by dbreynolds on July 15, 2019

Yes, my Facebook Messenger was hacked. This is one of those times when it’s lucky I stay up all night, because I was awake when the fake message came through. For the record, I would never send a mass message to my entire list. Bleah.

But that was only one day. I spent the rest of the week getting ready for my trip to the Northeast–visiting the dentist (ick) getting my hair done (yay!) pedicure (double yay!) checking the weather forecast (yuck.)

But most of the week was spent deep in the cave, working on edits for SHIFTER PLANET 2 and writing DRAGAN. I’m so excited about both of those books. Still trying to come up with a title for SP2–I sent four possibilities to my editor. We’ll see which one they pick. As for DRAGAN, the gang’s all getting ready for the big fight, leading up to Nick’s book and the final showdown, of course. I’ve got his story all plotted out, too.
