Amazing new series!

Whilst you're waiting for the next HoN book I'd like to highly recommend a new series to you. It's already been released in the UK, and tomorrow, February 1st, it'll release in the states (coming soon to Germany, too). THE DEMON TRAPPER'S DAUGHTER is by my good friend Jana Oliver. It's an awesome book, filled with a cool new mythos about demons and those who trap them. It's funny and smart, as well as dark and kinda scarey. Check it out! And as of tomorrow: HAPPY RELEASE DAY JANA!! I'm wishing you all the best, girlfriend!

Cool Girlfriend Release!

I have a group of amazing friends, for which I am very grateful. They're talented, funny, and interesting. Among my friends is the fabulous intuitive, Colette Baron-Reid. She and I have been buddies since she read my very first book (DIVINE BY MISTAKE, originally published as GODDESS BY MISTAKE). Well, not only is she a good friend and an excellent intuitive counselor, but she's also a well published author. Her current release looks fascinating. I'll be picking it up as soon as I can get myself to the 21st Street Borders in Tulsa. It's called THE MAP (pictured above), FINDING THE MAGIC AND MEANING IN THE STORY OF YOUR LIFE. I know for a fact Colette is magical - she predicted the success of the HoN before I'd written the books! (As a side note, she tells me that my success will move to film - and I'm believing her!)

In honor of the release of THE MAP, Colette is hosting a great giveaway. You can find out more info at www.themaplaunch.com.

Also, check out Colette's WISDOM OF AVALON oracle cards (easy to find on Amazon or B&N or Borders sites). I have a pack, and I love them!


Here's wishing Colette a magical launch!

Safely home!

So, I went from frosty but magical Scotland (picture taken by Loch Lomond) to sunny but cold Oklahoma (picture taken of my front pasture).




I want to say a big thank you to all my Scottish fans! You made my mini-tour wonderful! Now I'm going to wade my way through jet lag and get back to writing. First I'm going to finish the Dragon and Anastasia Lankford story, DRAGON'S OATH (release date summer of 2011) and then continue working on DESTINED (release date of November 2011).

Hugs and Kisses to my friends in Scotland!

Glasgow Event!

I'm looking forward to my Glasgow event, which will be the last one of my mini-tour (I'm always a little sad when I leave Scotland!). It's tomorrow (Thursday the 20th) at the Sauchiehall Street Waterstone's, 6:30 pm. I know the event is sold out, but as with the Stirling Waterstone's I'll stay afterward and sign a bunch of stock so there will be autographed copies available in the store.

See y'all there!

My favorite moment from the Golden Globes, too!

I had to share! Yea for Chris Colfer, who I think would make a fabulous Damien! Hugs and kisses and congrats to him and Glee!

Fun in Stirling!

The event at Stirling was a blast! Special thanks to the lovely Alex Nye who interviewed me (pictured with me above), and to Ian Wandless and his Waterstone's for being gracious hosts. The crowd was wonderful - excellent questions! And I did sign a bunch of stock for the store, so if you didn't get a ticket to the event you can still pick up a signed book.

Stirling event!

Oooh! I'm looking forward to the Stirling event! I love the city, and simply adore the staff of the Waterstones there. Hope everyone who wanted a ticket was able to get one (I know they're sold out right now.). For those of you who couldn't get a ticket I'll be signing lots of stock before I leave, so you'll still be able to get a signed copy from the bookstore.

See y'all at 7:00 on Monday! Let's hope for no rain...

Edinburgh Event!

I'm looking forward to my Edinburgh event on the 13th at the Scottish Book Trust building @ 10:30 am. I hear it's sold out! Yea! See y'all there! (I'll be shopping afterward - love me some Edinburgh!)

While you're waiting for Jan 4th

While my adult fans are waiting for January 4th and the release of AWAKENED, here's a little PC Cast fix for ya. GODDESS OF LEGEND is out right now! It's a new adult paranormal romance from my Goddess Summoning Series. This one focusing on Camelot. Don't we all want King Arthur to get a H.E.A. (happily ever after)?? I do! I love this series and retelling mythology - no, you don't have to read them in order.

Keep in mind, this book is R rated and not intended for YA.

Enjoy!

Happy Holidays!

Kristin and I would like to wish all our fans the happiest of holidays and brightest of New Years! We hope you follow your dreams in 2011 and remember the power of positive thoughts and actions. Please step into the new year with dignity and integrity, and when you can choose love...always love...

Thank you for your support and loyalty!

Tour Info for AWAKENED

First, let me start by saying that Kristin and I are not touring in the US for AWAKENED. We are launching in Tulsa at fabulous Will Rogers High School on Tuesday, January 4th, 6:00 p.m. We'll also be doing lots of interview and probably some live chats, etc., but our US publisher, who makes the decisions about touring, decided the weather in January is just too questionable for a tour.

Also, let me reiterate - Kristin and I DON'T CHOOSE WHERE WE TOUR. Our publishers set up our tours, keeping in mind things like weather, market, and our writing schedule. What this means is asking us "please oh please will you come to ___________ some day?" or "you never come to my town, why not?" are questions I can't answer. I'd love to travel all over and tour, tour, tour - but 1) I'm not in control of that (like I just said) and, 2) If I toured all the time I'd never write and there would be no more HoN books...

However, I am going to Scotland with Seoras to visit family, and I've agreed to three events while I'm there. Kristin can't come with me this time, and I did not choose the three venues, my UK publisher did. Below is where I'll be and when. Scotland is a second home to me, and so I'm really looking forward to returning and meeting with my lovely UK fans!

See y'all in January!

Nice review

I rarely read reviews of my work, but my good friend and fellow author, Merline Lovelace sent me this link to a lovely review from Seattlepi Books on THE AVENGER. Merline is one of the three other authors who, along with me, contributed to this series - all of us are military veterans - all of the heroines are also military. It was a lot of fun to write and it's nice to see the book is being appreciated! So, check it out! Here's the link: http://www.seattlepi.com/books/430236_148473-blogcritics.org.html

p.s. THE AVENGER is absolutely not YA. It's rated R.

Thank you!

Thanks to your support Kristin raised the most money for the Tulsa SPCA! Over $5,000!!! Here she is with her dog, Mo, at the announcement ceremony. And here are my very shaggy looking Scotties, Cameron and Chloe, there to support Kristin and Mo!

Yea for the SPCA!

Veterans Day

I'd like to say "thank you" to those who have served and are serving - and the families who support and sacrifice with them.

And as an aside to some of my younger readers in case nobody's ever told you this: if you're traveling (or shopping or whatever) and you see someone in the uniform of our armed forces, it's nice to say a quick thank you to them. You never know when the man/woman you're thanking is just coming back from or heading out into harm's way so that you can reap the benefits of freedom.
