NICODEMUS IN AUDIO and A HOLIDAY GIFT on the way.

Posted by dbreynolds on December 16, 2021


NICODEMUS is now available in Audio by the fabulous Tor Thom, who has now completed the entire 5-book Stone Warriors series. To celebrate, I’m giving away three copies of Nico’s audiobook. As usual, the following rules apply:

1. Send an email to dbreynoldswriter@gmail.com with NICO AUDIO on the subject line.
2. The return email address MUST BE A VALID EMAIL ADDRESS.
3. Include your first and last name in the body of the email.
4. All entries must be received by midnight, 12/24/2020.
5. Three winners will be selected at random from among the entries received by the deadline.
6. Winners will be notified by return email and will then have five (5) days to respond, after which a new winner will be chosen.
7. One (1) entry per person. All duplicate entries will be deleted.
8. Good Luck!

As promised in a posting to my FB Street Team, there’s a brand new Vignette coming very soon. It’s in the final stages of writing, and will be posted on Christmas Eve (like all the best presents!)

On a serious note, I want to extend my love and condolences to all those affected by the recent tornados. I also encourage anyone who can to help the American Red Cross help all those still coping with such terrible loss. Let’s do what we can to help our fellow humans feel the warmth of compassion and care in this season of giving. You can contact the American Red Cross at www.RedCross.org for information on the many ways you can help.

I’m going back to work now. Have to polish off the new Vignette. Yaaaay!

Take care and stay safe.
xoxo

STILL WRITING and A NEW LOOK IS COMING

Posted by dbreynolds on August 30, 2021

Yep, I’m still deep in the cave with Antônio, and the writing is going well. Antônio is like a brand new character for me, because he’s a step removed from the North American vamps. He knows Raphael, of course, but he has no ambition to rule the world. He’s all about Europe and his neighbors. Devastatingly handsome, of course. (heh heh) My birthday girl Eddie is keeping me company late into the night, sitting and sleeping over my shoulder while I write, before eventually switching to my lap (because it’s warm under the computer.)

I’m also researching serial killers, which apparently has become a popular pursuit during this endless pandemic. There’s purpose in my research, however. After Antônio, I’ll begin working on a new series, with a vampire FBI agent who specializes in serial killers. I’m kind of excited about that one, because I admit that I watch all those programs on TV about famous killers. You can blame my late DH for that one. He’s the one who got me hooked on the killer shows, and he also had a sizable collection of non-fiction books on serial killers. Though I can assure you, he wasn’t one. This new series will be introduced with a Cyn & Raphael e-novella, so those of you who’ve been asking for more of them should get at least a modest fix from the next novella.

There’s also good news on the AUDIOBOOK front…at last! Covid threw a giant wrench into audiobooks in this country. Studios were shut down for most of last year, which created a backlog. We’ve finally contracted for the next four VIA books, but we’ll have to change narrators. If we want Nick Russo, assuming we can get him, the wait will be forever. His wonderful voice has become very popular. We’re currently auditioning new narrators, so as soon as that’s done, they’ll start recording. Moving on to the Stone Warriors, the final manuscript has been sent to Tor Thom. We don’t have a release date yet for that, although in the past I usually didn’t find out the audiobooks were finished until I caught it on Amazon. But at least all the audiobooks are finally moving forward.

What else…? I don’t have any travel planned through the end of this year. Conferences have been cancelled and/or moved with this new variant. I’m definitely going back on the road and into the air next year, however. I’m going stir crazy along with everyone else.

My website/blog is about to be remodeled. Work will begin sometime in the next few weeks, and there might be interruptions before that. I’ve used this WP theme for a very long time, but it’s no longer supported by WordPress, and it’s become inflexible. I have a new theme picked out, and there’s someone who knows a hell of a lot more about programming than I do who’s going to tailor the new theme to my needs, and then slide (haha, I doubt it’s that easy) my current site data into the new theme. So, if you try to log in and the site is down, that will be why.

LUCAS is on sale in September (which is already HERE, people.) The e-book is only $0.99 until September 15, 2021.

And finally, our world has seen a lot of pain lately. 13 US soldiers and almost 200 Afghan civilians were murdered in the recent airport bombing in Kabul. Hurricane Ida has hit the US Gulf Coast as a Category 4 storm, with devastating results, and fires are raging across the Western US, and even in Minnesota. And now, on top of all this, the Delta variant has us all locking down and wearing masks again. It’s been a rough two years, and it will only get better if we all work to make it so. If you pray, pray for our world. If not, then get out there and fight to bring the necessary changes before it’s too late.

For my US readers, have a fun and safe Labor Day holiday, and for everyone else…stay cool, stay safe out there. It’s a rough world.

SHOUTING FROM DEEP IN THE CAVE

Posted by dbreynolds on August 9, 2021

I’ve been spending so much time in the cave lately, that I’ve decided to spruce the place up. Now all I need is my big red chair. What do you think?

I’ve journeyed into the cave to finish ANTÔNIO, which is the new VIA-Vampires in Europe (Book #15!) I teased his story at the end of NICODEMUS, when the assassin sent to kill Sotiris was preparing to leave the U.S. for her next assignment. That assignment happens to be (surprise!) Antônio, but of course nothing is that simple in the world of vampires. At least not MY vampires.

I had hoped to visit Europe again in 2021, in preparation for this book. But as we all know, that didn’t happen, since with every day that passes, it seems more and more as though we’re heading into a new lockdown. Here in Los Angeles, we’re already under a mask mandate, which is depressing. We had maybe a week where there was a sense of relief that the worst was over…and now we’re right back in the weeds. I’ve cancelled all my trips for the year again, but I’m going back out into the world next year. I hope.

It’s not all doom and gloom, though. I’ve discovered Grey’s Anatomy…only a few years late. But I’m totally sucked in, and have to ration my watching, lest I do nothing but sit in front of the big screen for however many days it takes to finish all 17 seasons. That’s not going to happen, since (1) someone has to feed and water EDDIE! And (2) Antônio is even more delicious than McDreamy. lol  I tried Chicago Med, which clearly wants to be Grey’s, but it’s not. The first season was good, but it became too soap opera-like, and with tons of medical errors, so that became boring. I did discover a UK series called HIDDEN, which is set in Wales (a country I visited a few years ago with my mom, and LOVED.) It’s a cop show, with a female lead who’s a homicide investigator. Very good.

But as long as we’re talking streaming entertainment, I also watched the new SUICIDE SQUAD. I found it deeply flawed and nowhere near as good as the first one, which was at least less flawed. It seemed they decided to insert some slapstick stupid comedy into this one…bleah. It had all the stupid, without the comedy. Which is just my opinion, of course.

Okay, I’ve gone down a rabbit hole here with lockdown streaming. It’s time to get back to writing Antônio’s story. But first…let’s see, there are some sales going on.

RAJMUND‘s e-book is on sale until August 15, for only $0.99 on all the usual e-platforms. AMAZON is also going to be featuring XAVIER as a monthly deal sometime in September. And they’re planning to offer some sort of deal pricing on NICODEMUS in the fall–which is them being their typical vague. I’ll remind you about these deals when they happen. Oh, and another one…SHIFTER PLANET has been selected as a featured title on BookBub’s Paranormal Romance list, which will happen from September 1 to 8. Yay!

And now I’m REALLY going back to my upgraded cave to bring Antônio’s story to life. Stay safe out there. And by the way, I’ve been vaccinated. And as a person who gets awful full-body allergic reactions to EVERYTHING, I didn’t have even a pinprick of redness at the vax injection site. So PLEASE consider getting you and your loved ones vaccinated. But vaccinated or not…wear a mask! This is not to invite debate. It’s simply a plea from a fellow dweller on planet Earth.

Stay cool. Stay safe.

xoxo

JULY HAS ARRIVED…ALREADY?!

Posted by dbreynolds on July 5, 2021

First of all, I want to thank all of you who took Nicodemus into your hearts, and read Nick and Antonia’s story. My thanks go especially to those of you who took the time to leave a review. They really do make a difference.

Amazon apparently has a sense of humor because to celebrate July, Amazon UK is running a special on XAVIER, but only in the UK. The e-book is just £0.99. This is an extraordinary sale price, and I don’t know how long it will hold. Amazon makes these decisions and doesn’t always update us. So if you want to take advantage of this price, you probably shouldn’t delay.

I’ll be spending July just as I did June, working on Antônio which is the next Vampires in America book. My buddy Eddie (my cat) and I are back to staying up nights and sleeping days, looking forward to shorter days to kick in so our nights are longer. Yes, we’re weird, I know.

And finally, I hope everyone who celebrates had a safe and fun July 4th.

xoxo
DBR
