HUNTED in Iraq with our guys!

Gary Schubert, my friend over in Iraq, sent this great picture of himself with HUNTED. Soooo cool, Gary! Thanks! Gary is a short-timer, and in just a little over 50 days he's returning to his wife and family stateside.

Let's all wish Gary a fast, safe 50 days!

A new series!


Hi guys! Happy Memorial Day weekend! I know a bunch of you have finally been released from school - so yea to you AND your amazing teachers.

I thought I'd give you a heads up about a new series I've been involved in. It's for Harlequin's Nocturne imprint, which means it'll be super cool paranormal romance. It's not YA, but it's also not graphically sexual, so I'd say it's fine for my older teen fans on up. Here's the really unique part of the series - the idea for the books was thought up and written exclusively by women authors who have also served in our armed forces. Some of you know I was active duty Air Force back in the day, so I'm really proud to be included in this project. The series leads off with four books, beginning with the first release in August, THE SEEKER by Lindsay McKenna. In September Cindy Dees' THE SLAYER will be released, and in October my book, THE AVENGER, will be out. The final book, by my good friend Merline Lovelace, THE PROTECTOR, releases. The series has danger and time travel and a whole we-have-to-save-the-world theme. I'll post my cover as soon as I have it. In the meantime you guys can check out more about all four fantastic books at: www.timeraidersseries.com.

I heart you guys!

Back from paradise and off to New York City!


Here's a lovely picture taken from our vacation balcony. Sooooo gorgeous!

I wanted to let y'all know we'll be headed to New York City to appear on Good Morning America Thursday, May 28th. We'll also be featured on Nightline that night.

I'm in the middle of rewrites of TEMPTED. Yep - there are always rewrites, which I really don't mind as it makes for a better book.

Wish us luck on GMA and here's hoping we don't sound moronic on Nightline...

Kalona image

I love it when I see different visual interpretations of characters from the House of Night. It's always interesting for me to get a glimpse of what you guys see as you imagine the world. Here's one very cool version of Kalona created by a talented artist named Andy. With his permission I've posted some of his process and the end result. Please don't share this art without Andy's permission.

Check it out!
