-
Happy Thanksgiving! While this holiday has had its ups and downs through history, I like to celebrate it for the spirit of thankfullness, and I hope you do too. Today I'm especially thankful for all of you who voted for me and made the following announcement possible. You rock!

I don't normally talk about my graphic design stuff here on my author's blog but this news is so big I had to share. I'm so incredibly honored to make this announcement. The website renowned as the Wikipedia-like data base for authors, Authorsdb, has been running a cover contest for 2013 and three of my cover designs are finalists!!! I just about fainted when I found out.

Here they are, along with links to vote for them in round of voting:





Erotica, Valkyrie Slumbering. This image may not be suitable for some of my younger readers so you'll have to click on the link to go to Authorsdb to see it and vote for it.

Movie Review: 47 Ronin

For those who don't know, I love martial arts. It has been an integral part of my life since I was fifteen. I absolutely love a well choreographed fight scene. While I'm not big on the traditional old foreign martial arts film style of using wires to an extreme, I do love an excellent martial arts movie. 47 Ronin surprised me in a very big, and wonderful, way. I'm not sure why, but I didn't expect much out of it. Unfortunately that means I didn't go see it in the theater and I regret that deeply. This would have been phenomenal on the big screen. The story was excellent, a good, Americanized retelling of the tale of the 47 Ronin. The acting was compelling and I loved Keannu in this role. His fight scenes in particular were quite spectacular. I was reminded of Brad Pitt's scenes in Troy, only better. Yes, you read that right. Keannu's fight scenes were even better. I can hardly believe I wrote that, being such a big fan of Brad in Troy. But there you have

Proving the Traditional Publishing Industry Wrong

I hope you'll help me in proving the traditional publishing industry wrong. Coming, this March, the book that Honor Before Heart, my historical romance was always meant to be, Honoring a Witch's Heart, now a historical fantasy about fae descendants living in America during the Civil War. And here is the cover reveal: When I had the original idea for this novel, I talked to my agent about it. They said it sounded like it would be a tough sell due to the dual genres of fantasy and historical. It would be too hard to sell to a publisher, they said. They convinced me to write it is as just a historical romance instead, removing all fantasy elements from it. Though it broke my heart, I did it. And they were able to sign it to a publisher. Unfortunately, the series sold poorly. I hold no ill will toward my agent, they advised me in the way they thought was best, and they had good intentions.  After several years, I finally got my right back and I have rewritten it to the way I always
