Hello everyone! I’m sorry  I didn’t get this posted before my family’s trip away this weekend. I just got back and we had a fantastic time. I also wanted to let everyone know that I’ll be sending Letter of Marque off to my editor as soon as my wonderful and talented critique partners are done ripping it apart. :D

And now to the contest!

After careful review of all the names, the one that jumped out at me the most was Wyvern suggested by Mina Gerhart! Congratulations Mina and thank you for the fantastic suggestion. I’ll be sending you an email offline to see which format of No Quarter you would like to have.

Hello all you wonderful people out there. I hope you have been having a great week where you are. In my neck of the woods, we got to experience an earthquake yesterday. I’m Canadian remember, not something we normally get up here. It was an interesting experience to say the least.

Fun times!

On the writing front, I am pleased to let you all know that Letter of Marque, the sequel to No Quarter, is done! I’m just going back now to tweak a few things, then it’s off to my critique partners and then my editor. I am soooo happy to have this one done. I can’t wait to share it with all of you. :D

A note to those of you who entered the Name That Ship contest. I will be picking a winner this weekend. Stay tuned!

Next on my plate is a m/m novella I’m writing as part of a multiy author EC series. I have to say I’m super excited to be a part of this and can’t wait to get the story done. I’m traveling for business soon which means I’ll have time to write waiting at the airport. Have to look at the positive side of these things. hehee! Once I’m done that story, I’ve decided to do a very short Quickie as part of the EC Merry Kinkmas theme. Fingers crossed it gets accepted.

You might have noticed the lack of banner on my blog. My wonderful web guy is in the process of updating WordPress for me. He’ll have the pretty back soon. :D

Finally, I’m thrilled to let everyone know that my EC editor has finally joined Twitter! You can follow her at @BriannaStJames if you want to see the craziness I put her through.

Be safe and have a great rest of your week everyone!

Help Name That Ship

Published on June 15, 2010 in Letter of Marque and No Quarter. 6 Comments

I’m just about done the second book in my space pirate series. Oh, you didn’t know this?? Yes, I’ve decided that I’ll be doing more than one. There will be at least three books, more if you all enjoy them.

It started with No Quarter, Gar and Faolan’s story. Next will be Mace’s book, which is currently called Letter of Marque. The third book is going to be entitled Pieces of Eight and will feature the dark Admiral of the Black.

Here’s my dilemma…I need a name for his ship!

So I’ve decided to run a quick contest.

Post your suggestions for the name of the Admiral’s ship and I will pick the one I’ll use in the book. The winner will get an e-copy of No Quarter (and if you already have it, you can pick any other book from my backlist).

So get thinking and help a writer out!

Published on June 1, 2010 in Fun and Promotion. 0 Comments

My very good (and slightly insane) friend Amy Ruttan, asked me to participate over at the June Ellora’s Cave spotlight at Coffee Time Romance.

Of course I said yes!

If you are a fan of EC and all her authors, then you need to come over and check out the fun. There are so many people participating, you can’t even shake a stick at them!

Amy has posted excerpts from participating authors, and each of us has our own section where we will be posting more excerpts and chatting. In addition, I’ll be giving away a few free books to some lucky commenters. Come over and check out my thread.

Make sure to visit the other authors too and help spread the word.
