OH, LUCIFER!

Posted by dbreynolds on September 19, 2016

montreal-at-night I wish you could see my Lucifer! He’s so very perfect. We’re working on the cover, and as soon as it’s ready, LUCIFER will go up for pre-order. The official release date is now November 18, and with the way this year is zooming by, it’ll be here in no time.

And, by the way, if you recognize the city above, you already know where 90% of the book takes place!

If you’re wondering about the novellas, here’s a great review of the Omnibus from La Deetda Reads.

And with the official start of Fall just a few days away, it’s time to start thinking about October, and that means the season’s final Book’d event with me! (And five other authors.) 😉 But, yes, I’ll be there on October 20th, reading from Shifter Planet, and I’ll be available after to sign any books you want to bring to the event. No books will be sold during the event, so bring whatever you want signed. Tickets are only $10.00, and can be bought in advance, or at the door. At the door tickets are cash only. All of the details, including advance tickets, can be found here! I hope to see some of my readers there!

Some notes: for readers who are asking, Juro and Lucia’s Vignette probably won’t be seen again until I can put together a new anthology. Definitely not until next year. My life is pretty complicated right now. As for the audio books, I know that LUCAS is well underway. I’m trying to find out what the likely release date is. Audible never tells us exactly, but I should at least be able to get a general timeframe. And then ADEN’s audio is next!

And that’s pretty much it for me this week. I’m working on LUCIFER edits/proofing as they come in, but I’m also writing the next story. So, you know … busy!

Enjoy your Autumn Equinox (this Thursday, Sept. 22) and I’ll see you back here next Monday!

LUCIFER IS OFF TO MY EDITOR!

Posted by dbreynolds on September 5, 2016

Yes, LUCIFER went off to my editor on time. Feedback from my beta readers has been good, so now I’ll wait to see what my editor thinks. (fingers crossed) And in the meantime …

I always give myself a few days (but only a few) of R&R before I start my next project. So, this week I was binge watching Stranger Things on Netflix, and also the bazillion episodes of Say Yes to the Dress that I had waiting in my DVR que. (I love that show.)

And while I watch Say Yes to the Dress, I’ve been searching image sites for my Lucifer cover. I’ve looked at literally thousands of images, some beautiful, some not. The image sites’ idea of beautiful men and mine are sometimes very different things. 🙁 But that’s okay, I only need 2-3 images for the very talented people at my publisher’s to work with, and I’m pretty sure I’ve found my beautiful Lucifer. 😉

And now it’s on to the next project … which is the second book of the Stone Warriors, and that’s Kato Amadi’s story. Here’s the description of Kato Amadi from COMPELLED. “And finally, the youngest of them all, Kato Amadi from the hot sands of Africa. His journey to Nick’s side had been long and perilous, but he’d reveled in the bloodshed of the battlefield, in the violence that fed the dark magic that resided deep in his soul.”

I’m looking forward to writing his story.

I have a new giveaway/contest at Fresh Fiction again this month. In anticipation of LUCIFER, which is the third book of the Vampire Wars story arc, I’m giving away an e-book copy of DECEPTION, which is where the Vampire Wars intrigue begins. And next month, I’ll give away a copy of CHRISTIAN. And then, LUCIFER is scheduled for a November release, though I don’t have a specific date yet.

I’ve also updated my GoodReads challenge, and I’m STILL 6, maybe 7, books behind. It’s all that writing I’ve been doing. I’m hoping to catch up soon. The year is running out!!

And now it’s back to Say Yes to the Dress. I’m almost caught up with my que!

For my U.S. readers, hope you’re enjoying (enjoyed) your Labor Day weekend. And for you and all of my other readers, Happy September! Yes, summer is almost over, which makes me very happy. I’m more of a Fall/Winter kind of person!

See you next week!

NEW AUTHOR PHOTO and other stuff

Posted by dbreynolds on June 27, 2016

I finally decided to have an actual author photo taken, so here it is. I want to thank my photographers, my hair stylist, and, of course, my mom and dad for making me look good.

Books, books, books ….

I got some great news this past week with confirmation from my publisher of a new 6-book contract. When added to my existing contract, this will let me finish all 5 books of my Stone Warriors, and let my Vampires take the war to the Europeans on their own continent. This means I’ll have to take lots of research trips to Europe. 🙂

4 Novellas mini_edited-2 In more great news, we’re publishing all 4 novellas in a single PRINT omnibus edition. I’ve wanted this for a long time, so I’m excited it’s finally going to happen. I don’t have a definite release date yet, but it will probably be sometime in August. I’ll have that date and the cover very soon.

Also this month, I launched my new newsletter with the release of DAMIAN. The newsletter will be only for special events, like new books or convention appearances, and there will also be newsletter exclusive giveaways. If you’re already subscribed to this blog, you’re subscribed to the newsletter. But if you’d like to be sure, you can SIGN UP HERE.

I also want to remind everyone about my monthly contest and giveaway over at FreshFiction.com. It changes every month, but it always includes a book giveaway.

And that’s it for this week, and just about this month. The year is nearly half over, and I don’t know where it’s gone. But I know where I’m going now, and that’s back to LUCIFER. 😉

EARLY REVIEWS FOR DAMIAN!

Posted by dbreynolds on May 23, 2016

Early reviews are coming in for DAMIAN, and I’m excited!

I just finished reading an advance copy of D.B.Reynolds Damian and I have to say that I’m in love! She did such an outstanding job at the end that I didn’t want the story to end. Damian was sexy, pulse-pounding, and engaging from beginning to end. You’ll never look at magic the same way again. THE BOOK CHICK BLOG

“Every now and then a book comes along that just captivates you, taking you within its pages as if you were there, living every moment with the characters. Damian is one of those books for me, I just loved it.” Tracie Runge (GoodReads)

“A very promising and entertaining start to what will surely be another one of my favorite series. It has action, romance, a truly interesting plot and hot sex. I highly recommend the Stone Warriors and look forward to what D.B. Reynolds has in store for her future Stone Warriors!” Danielle Taylor (GoodReads)

There are still a few days to enter my COMPELLED contest over at FreshFiction.com!

Meanwhile, I’m deep into LUCIFER’s story, the next book in Vampires in America. Well, it’s really Lucifer and Eleanor’s story. This one’s a little different than the others, because Lucifer and Eleanor are both vampires. That opens up all sorts of hunting and feeding possibilities, doesn’t it? I’m loving it . . . which means I have to get back to it, so that you all can love it, too.

I’m forgetting something . . . Darn.

Oh, well. Enjoy this last week of May, and I’ll see you next Monday!

DUNCAN Audio, GOODREADS, and LUCIFER

Posted by dbreynolds on May 9, 2016

The DUNCAN audio contest is over and the winners have been notified. Thank you to everyone who entered. There were so many of you that I upped the number of winners from two to three.

I updated my 2016 GoodReads Challenge, and I think I’m on target. I’ve read 55 of my target 150 books for the year, which is just about 37%. It’s been a busy writing year so far, way less reading and way more writing, but I’m still feeling good about my challenge target.

The DH and I are both still recovering from the cold I brought home from RT. The DH is about a week behind me, but he’s got a beautiful, deep chest with good lungs (that give him a great resonant voice, by the way) so he’s actually doing better than I did. But we’re both definitely on the far side of this thing at last.

Don’t forget that DAMIAN is available for pre-order on all of the Amazons and Kobo. The pre-order is e-book only, but the print version will be available on release day. DAMIAN is the first book of the Stone Warriors spin-off series with Nick Katsaros. It’s full of sorcery and magic and all the usual hot romance and action.

And the rest of my week was spent working with LUCIFER. I’m searching the image libraries for him, but haven’t found him yet. I’ll keep looking. But in the meantime, his book is coming along very nicely, so that’s a good thing.

I hope all the mothers out there had a wonderful day with the people they love, or at least a few words for those far away.

Just a note that I’m running a giveaway at Fresh Fiction all through May and June, giving away a copy of COMPELLED for each month. So, if you haven’t read it yet, this is your chance.

Happy May, and I’ll see you next week.

xoxo
