Not a Mini/MINI thing, but...

My first novel, Blood Magic, should be on store shelves starting on Friday. I started writing a few years back, finished a huge novel (which turned out to be too large to sell to a publisher), and while taking a break from that project wrote another book. That one sold to Juno Books back in November, and here it finally is!



I'm working on a sequel, due in July...

Not a Mini thing, I know, but since many here actually know me, I thought you might be interested. If you read and enjoy Fantasy or Horror, or know someone that does, I invite you to check it out. My publisher has the first 4 chapters available as a downloadable PDF file HERE. and have a page dedicated to the book HERE. I also have a blog now with other fun stuff, linked in my sig.

Hope you like it and wish me luck actually selling and marketing it!

Not really a vampire per se, but there are some elements of that in what she can do... Nothing that traditional - I hate stereotypoes. I like to think I have something really different in the character, but I'll let the readers decide.

Hope you pick up a copy and like it! Bring it to the Mini Mornin' and I'll be happy to deface... Erm, I mean, autograph it for you.

Dude, any book that uses the word "obfuscate" in a bold and fearless manner in the second paragraph gets my stamp of approval!

Congrats on finally seeing this "chapter" of your dream become reality. I'll have a copy for you to sign whenever I see you next.

LOL... Yeah, somewhere along the way I seem to have swallowed a thesaurus. I'll gladly deface your copy whenever you like, Blimey!

Sweet! Check out the blog in my sig for a sneak-peek at the cover of Book 2, an Amazon review from a notable reviewer and other goodies.

Hope you like it! If you do, Amazon has a "reviews" system.
