Happy Samhain .

I know it's been awhile since my last blog and that is a very bad thing. I have been wrestling with Nightwolves Dawn to Dusk, but I think I have all the kinks worked out now. Within the next week or two I am hoping to have it done and in editing before people come to hang me for taking so long LOL.

At the moment Catrina is having a very bad day. I have gone thru many boxes of Kleenex writing about this part of her life. Her past is just hellish in many aspects. Meanwhile, in the present, her mates are going nuts missing her and trying to find a spell to bring her back from being turned into a zombie. To add to the drama The Gods and Goddesses are playing Their owns war games and guess who is caught in the middle being used as a pawn? Yep, you guessed it. Poor Cat, I need more Kleenexes damn it.

And things are about to get even worse for the Catrina in the past. I gave up wearing mascara while writing this book. I got tired of looking like a raccoon. Maybe that's why it has taken me so long to write this one. That and the technical writing style used in this book is a very difficult technique. Keeping things in line and the continuity going on both ends is a test of my use of aspirins, let me tell ya...but I, like my readers, need to know how it all came about. Talk about walking through the fires of hell...wow...

Stay tuned for more updates as Nightwolves Dawn to Dusk develops!

My most awesome reviews!

Nothing touches an author more than seeing hours, weeks, months of work being validated by the reviews that their work receives. I was just looking over my reviews at Paranormal Romance Guild a bit teary eyed because this one reviewer got it! Where some might complain about the preachiness of the main character and her habit of getting on a soapbox about it-every now and again, believe me I have tried to get her to tone down...she refuses- but the reviewer got it and made me see my main character more fully myself! She IS a demi-Goddess and has knowledge and the ability to put together pieces of information in a way most normal humans can not. The Main character understands that if something isn't done it could spell the down fall, creating a vacuum of power and another main stream religion could step in, which would most likely put women's rights back into the dark ages. This would NOT be a good thing, in our world or hers.
But the reviewer got it.. She understood the main characters drive. A lot of my reviewers saw beyond the surface of the story and got what was really going on below the surface and it just made all that work worth it for me. Yes, this series does cross a lot of genres and yes, this series talks a lot about complicated religious theology BUT there is also excitement, adventure, and a chance to get to know the characters on a personal level. The Nightwolves breaks a lot of walls in mainstream writing ethics. It crosses a lot of barriers that might make some people uncomfortable but some seem to have the intelligence, the wisdom and the foresight to see how this can make a series even more exciting, thrilling and chilling.
Now that The Nightwolves has been published in a house, the editing and formatting is so fancy it also makes me want to cry in happiness. The covers are a piece of art- being both retro and modern, Goth and urban- at the same time and a lot of people have seen what we wanted to show in just the covers of The Nightwolves. The statement that this series is not your normal cup of java, there is a jolt of something extra special waiting for a reader inside.
To have these awesome reviews is such a sweet balm to my soul, that I am inspired to break even more boundaries in my upcoming books and hope that these too will be seen by reviewers for what they are. Something out of the ordinary!
Thanks for all who read and review, my utmost respect and gratitude for your insights and words of praise for The Nightwolves!
