This morning I woke up with an ear ache. It hurts and I’m a baby. So I thought this meant I was going to have a crappy morning. It turns out that the wonderful people from Night Owl Romace made it all better!
When I opened my email first thing this morning, I discovered that The Bond That Consumes Us got a 4.5/5 and a Review’s Top Pick from Night Owl. I’m so excited I’m doing a snoopy dance in my chair.
Here is what Aemelia had to say:
I really liked Fallon’s strong personality, and how she wasn’t afraid to act on her desires when she met Tabor. I loved Tabor’s protectiveness of her, and how he just couldn’t resist her charms. Tabor had some deep issues of guilt to overcome, I could understand his resistance, being raised to believe that his first mate was his only mate, he was unsure if he could trust the feelings he felt for Fallon. The chemistry and passion between them was so hot I felt my fingers singe from the pages.
I also enjoyed following the mystery of the killer throughout this tale, I was never really sure of the true culprit until the very end of the story.
You have no idea how pleased I am to know people are enjoying Taber’s story. His character was one that snuck up on me as a writer. I’d never intended for him to have his own book when I started out writing The Bond That Ties Us. Now, I can’t imagine him not having one.
There is a quote out there (and I can’t for the life of me remember who said it), that goes something like, “There is no such thing as a good writer, only a good re-writer”. I am a firm believer in this quote for a number of reasons, the main one being that my first drafts tend to suck.
Well…maybe not suck, but are most definitely lacking. I’ve spent the last few nights going through and cleaning up my manuscript for The Bond That Saves Us. I have a way to go yet, but it’s starting to come together. It’s funny to see the types of phrases that I rely on as I write, the repetitive words, and some outright “OMG what was I thinking” scenes. I usually laugh, then spend twenty minutes staring at the screen trying to think of a way to fix it. Slow going, but the end result is worth it.
This time as I edit, I’m finding myself a bit sad. This is the last book in the Eternal Bonds series. I love all of these characters so much, that I’m really sad to see them go. No, I can’t foresee there being any other books in this universe. Mostly because I’m working on another series at the moment, and I want to get back into their world. I also want to make sure that I am doing justice to Sean’s story. The poor guy has had a rough time of things, and I want to make sure he has his happily ever after.
So, back into the editing cave I go. I hope to have this done within the week and off to my editor soon. With any luck, you will all be reading Sean’s story in 2009. 
What a busy few weeks its been for friends of mine., and I’ve been slow in mentioning them…please forgive me ladies!
The fantastic Leah Braemel saw the release of her first book Private Property. I had the pleasure of reading this a while ago, and I have to say, it is a SMOKING hot novel. I was so thrilled for Leah when Samhain snatched this little gem up. There is a reason it’s the number one seller over at Samhain right now people. You need to run over and pick this little gem up! GO, GO, GO! I can’t wait for the sequel Personal Protection to come out in May.
My other very good (and wonderful, charming, preggers) friend Amy Ruttan saw the release of her book Enchantress: The Fey. Oh the work that went into this book, everyone. I know it holds a special place in Amy’s heart, and having seen the effort she put into it, I know you won’t be dissapointed. And to top it all off, it’s now a series! Five books…and I’m super excited.
I’m so proud and excited for both of you. Congratulations!!
