DRIVE-BY POSTING!

Posted by dbreynolds on March 2, 2015

A quick drive-by this week, because I’m on a short turn-around for the DECEPTION galley proof. Yay!! And because it’s March, I’ve added a countdown clock … tick, tick, tick until DECEPTION’s release date!! Double Yay!
RAPHAEL’s on sale right now. I’m not sure how long it’ll last. But if you’ve been waiting for a price reduction, this is it.

Sad, sad news this week when Leonard Nimoy died. He was 83, so he lived long and prospered, but there are some people we’ll never be ready to let go of. I’m a geek, so it’s no surprise that I love Star Trek, but I’m mostly an original series fan. Spock and Kirk were my heroes. I like the re-boot with Zachary Quinto and Chris Pine, but I don’t like any of the Star Trek spin-offs (especially Captain Earl Grey.) I know Nimoy has a body of work that includes much more than Star Trek, but for me, he will always be Spock. :'(

Happy March. Let’s hope the weather realizes Spring is near. This is the best video I’ve seen on the subject. I think it reflects everyone’s view on this Winter and how ready we all are to see it fade into history. DO YOU WANT TO BUILD A SNOWMAN …

See you next week!

IT’S ALL ABOUT DECEPTION!

Posted by dbreynolds on February 23, 2015

In case you missed it somehow, DECEPTION’s cover was revealed this past week, and I love it. You can CLICK HERE FOR THE FULL-SIZE IMAGE.

DECEPTION is still up for PREORDER on AMAZON. Preorders are for the e-book only, but the print version will be released on March 31, along with e.

In anticipation of DECEPTION’s release on March 31, my publisher is running a giveaway on GoodReads. They’re giving away five (5) print copies of DECEPTION. The giveaway runs through March 26, and it’s open to U.S. readers only.

But don’t worry if you’re not U.S. I have several blog stops planned for the DECEPTION release, and my giveaways will all be international!

I also received an update from my publisher about the audio books. Traci Odom, the narrator for the first three books, is continuing and has already begun with SOPHIA. The goal is to have all of the existing books available in audio by early next year, and then to have each new book available within 60 days of release. That’s the goal anyway. Traci’s doing a great job of keeping up the pace so far, and a terrific job of narrating.

I’ve been busy writing every night this week, but took some time out with the DH to binge watch the entire first season of Bosch. I love these books by Michael Connelly, and I think they’ve done a great job of bringing Harry Bosch to the small screen. I only wish they were ready with Season 2. Though, from what I’ve read, they’re not even committed to a second season yet. They’re still waiting to see how Season 1 is received. From my perspective, it’s a hit and they need to get on that next season already!
Oscars And finally … Oscars!! Come on, I worked in the industry. Of course, I watch the Oscars! Granted, I did DVR them first, so I could fast-forward through the boring parts. Overall, I was happy with the winners, although I would have liked Imitation Game to win, instead of Birdman. And Benedict Cumberbatch instead of Eddie Redmayne. But they were both deserving of a win, and at least Graham Moore won for his Screenplay, and he gave a wonderful speech. Yay for him! And Lady Gaga was terrific. I’ve heard her sing with nothing but a piano many times, so I wasn’t surprised that she had a voice.

Okay, now that I’ve put in my ten cents worth about the Oscars, I’m going back to writing about Vampires.

Enjoy the last week of February (as unbelievable as it may seem) and I’ll see you in March.

RAJ AUDIO AND A DECEPTION GIVEAWAY!

Posted by dbreynolds on February 16, 2015

RAJMUND is now available on Audible. You can find him on AMAZON or AUDIBLE.com. Next up … SOPHIA!Big news on DECEPTION this week, too. The cover reveal is this Friday, February 20! Yay! I can hardly wait. And then starting at midnight tonight, my publisher is running a DECEPTION giveaway on GoodReads. They’re giving away five (5) print copies of DECEPTION. The giveaway opens at midnight tonight and runs through March 26, and it’s open to U.S. readers only.

But don’t worry if you’re not U.S. I have several blog stops planned for the DECEPTION release, and my giveaways will all be international!

Those of you who’ve been following this blog for a while know that coyotes frequently serenade me as I’m working late at night. But I heard an entirely different sound the other night. It was after midnight, and I was taking a cricket out to the garden. We get the occasional cricket in the house here, and being a superstitious sort, I have a capture and release policy. Anyway, so I’m outside and I hear this noise, like when kids used to pin playing cards to their bike spokes. I look over the gate, and I see coyotes racing down the middle of my street. And the noise is their claws on the pavement. It was so weird, because I couldn’t figure out what they were racing toward. They weren’t yipping or making any noise. Just the clicking sound of their feet on the street. It spooked me more than any of their usual cries, which are pretty damn creepy.

Not even creepy coyotes can keep me from working, though. I might have hustled back into my house a little faster than usual, but then I went back to my laptop, clicked Buffy back into play on the TV, and spent the rest of the night with a certain sexy French vampire. Which is what I’ll be doing the rest of tonight, too.

Have a great week, be sure to sign up for the Giveaway, and don’t forget to check out the DECEPTION cover this Friday.

WHOA! SO THAT’S WHO MY HERO IS!

Posted by dbreynolds on February 9, 2015

So, I’m writing away on ALLIANCE (Vampires in America, Book 10) and I’m in the very early stages. My hero has met with Raphael, and a very hostile Cyn, in Malibu. And he’s traded info with Jared and Juro–with a little bit of dick measuring between them first! And now he’s back in Houston, because that’s where Anthony and the Southern Territory’s HQ is. At least for now.

But up ’til this point, he hasn’t met his heroine. This afternoon–at Starbuck’s naturally–I wrote their very first encounter, and I learned so much about my hero! It was like meeting him for the first time. So exciting. And so satisfying, too.

I’m still waiting for the final cover of DECEPTION, maybe this week. Or so I hear. Must be soon, because the cover reveal is February 20th, and I’d sure like to see it first!

I saw one movie this week … John Wick, starring Keanu Reeves as a retired super-assassin who comes out of retirement when he’s pushed too far. I loved it!! Lots of great action and fight scenes. Lots of guns. And a surprisingly sweet sentimentality. My kind of movie.

Gucci glasses I also bought some cool, new computer glasses, prescription lenses, that is. I’m kind of a nut about glasses. I wear them all the time, and I have a lot of them. I was at my eye doctor’s the other day for something else, and I saw these totally impractical Gucci frames that I just loved. My husband hates them, although he doesn’t say that outright. He just gives me a bewildered smile when I wear them. Even the optician looked puzzled. lol But I like them, and since the only place I’ll ever wear them is sitting in my comfy chair and writing on my laptop … who cares?

I’m making the final reservations for my trip to Dallas in May, for the RT Booklovers Convention. I was happy this week to learn that one of my very favorite authors, Julie James, will be there, and she’ll be signing her new book, which will have just been released. A couple of her titles are on my Favorites shelf. I might have to be a total fan girl that weekend, and bring my books for her to sign. A couple of my other faves will be there, too. Of course, I’ll be signing VINCENT and DECEPTION, so I’ll have to sneak away, maybe put a “Be Right Back” sign on my table!

Okay, I’m going back to ALLIANCE. I want to learn more about … oh, yeah, you don’t know their names yet, do you? My new Vampire Lord is Christian Duvall, and his lovely heroine is Natalie.

See you next week.

xoxo
