A VERY BUSY WEEK!!
This is just a quick recap of everything that happened last week. So much! First off was the release of COMPELLED, the latest Cyn & Raphael novella. This novella serves as a transition to the spin-off series featuring Nick Katsaros. Nick, you may recall, was Cyn’s lover before she met Raphael, and he also showed up in DECEPTION with the key to Raphael’s escape from Mathilde. We also learned in DECEPTION that Nick was a sorcerer, much to Cyn’s surprise. In COMPELLED, Cyn discovers even more about Nick’s history, and the tragedy in his life that drives him. It’s a tragedy that forms the basis of the spin-off series, The Stone Warriors. And that brings us to DAMIAN, Book One of The Stone Warriors, which will release on June 15th, and is currently available for pre-order. I’m very excited about
CHECK OUT DAMIAN!
It was a time when gods walked the earth, when armies fought not for bits of land, but for the very existence of humanity. On such a battlefield, five formidable warriors stood against an evil greater than any the earth had ever seen. But evil is not an honorable foe. Betrayed by someone they trusted, the warriors were cursed, one by one, tossed into the maelstrom of time, imprisoned in stone, their freedom resting on nearly impossible conditions. Until . . . Damian Stephanos honed his skills in battles fought with magic as much as swords. Caught by a deadly spell that left him trapped for centuries in darkness and obscurity, he is finally freed, only to discover that his enemy still lives. Determined to find him—and to free his brothers in arms—he first must fulfill his blood debt to
COMPELLED IS HERE!
VAMPIRE … Raphael is a power like the world has never seen, the force behind the first ever alliance of North American lords, Cyn’s mate, lover, master. SORCERER … Nick Katsaros, deceptively charming, ancient and commanding, driven by vengeance and a devastating loss, Cyn’s friend and one-time lover. HUMAN … Cynthia “Cyn” Leighton, beautiful, sexy, and smart, the woman both men desire. It was only a few months ago that Raphael lay helpless and dying, taken by treachery, while Cyn fought to save him. Unexpectedly, it was Nick who provided the key to his freedom. In exchange, he secured a promise that they would help him find and recover the same magical artifact that had been used to imprison Raphael. But when he calls on them to keep that promise, it will be Cyn who pays the price. Torn between

THIS WEEK WAS RT 2016!
Here I am, ready for the Giant Book Fair. I met lots of great readers, reconnected with wonderful friends, and generally had a great time. More pictures … The view out my windshield when we got stuck in the Cajon Pass for two hours behind an accident and construction that shut it down! Argh. This is me after that traffic jam, my first event after only 3 hours of sleep. The hat was pretty, though! Me and my two beautiful book posters! CHRISTIAN was giant! Remember, I’m 6 ft tall. Woot! And now it’s all about the books . . . COMPELLED, my longest novella yet, will release on April 29th. And I should have the final cover and back cover copy for DAMIAN, the first book of my Vampires in America spin-off series, The Stone Warriors, very, very soon.
COMPELLED COVER and PRE-ORDER!
I’m so excited that COMPELLED is now available for pre-order, with an April 29th release date. Isn’t that a beautiful cover? COMPELLED is my longest novella yet, and features not only Cyn and Raphael, but Nick Katsaros, Cyn’s lover before she met Raphael. He surprised Cyn in DECEPTION when he showed up with the literal key to Raphael’s freedom. He has a few other surprises in store, too. You can pre-order COMPELLED on AMAZON.com. Or there are lots of other links on the COMPELLED page HERE. Oh, and when you go to the Amazon page you can ignore the paperback listing for a completely different book, and also that other author’s picture on the COMPELLED listing! I’ve e-mailed Amazon, and they’re on the fix, but it might take a few days. Here’s the back cover copy with the whole story
