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.

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.

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.

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!

*breaks in to a spontaneous snoopy dance*

As a result, I feel the need to celebrate! Starting on May 11th up to the release of Mistress Rules on May 21st, I will be having a contest. Every day I will have an fantastic EC author here to talk about their EC books, leading up to my big day.

We’ll have stories, prizes and lots of good times! More details to come as we get closer to the date. So mark those calendars as we get ready for…

The Bond That Consumes Us is out on Friday!!!!

This is by far my most requested book, featuring my most requested character, I’ve ever written. I’d never originally intended Taber to be a main character. To be honest, I never intended on this being a series at all. But there was something about his personality that everyone seemed to connect with.

Now I have to confess that I’m nervous for this novel to be released. As a writer, when you have a character that people enjoy, it’s a lot to live up to when their story finally comes up. I hope you will enjoy it when you finally get to read it.

To celebrate the release of The Bond That Consumes Us, I thought I’d run a little contest. Answer the following questions:

1. What was the name of the couple in The Bond That Ties Us?
2. What book do I have coming out January 2009?
3. What’s my favourite colour?
4. What is the name of the series in which The Bond That Consumes Us is a part of?

(hint – all the answers can be found on my website)

Email me the answers at christine @ christinedabo. com by Thursday, October 29th, 5:00 pm EST. I’ll draw a name from the successful entries, and the winner will receive a free copy of The Bond That Consumes Us!

Good luck!

For those of you who aren’t going…I’m going to miss you. To fill in the gap, the Six Degrees of Sexy ladies are running a While We are Out contest. Make sure you pop over daily to check everything out. It’s all ready running…what are you waiting for!

/shoo

I’ll be back soon with pictures and stories for you all. Giant HUG!!! coming out to you all.

SQUEEEEE!!!

Yes, it’s writing related…no I’m not published with NY yet.

In other news, I’ve officially crossed the 60k mark with my urban paranormal. I’m in the home stretch now and I can’t wait to be done. I’m sending off my submission to the Shomi contest this week if I can. If not, for sure on the weekend.

I also received the final line edits this week for The Bond That Heals Us! Oh man, I can’t wait for this one to come out. It’s only one month away…which means I need to get my promo act in gear. Yes, the long awaited book two in the Eternal Bond series is coming! Tell your friends, neighbours, distant relatives!

Christine will love you for it.

Lillian Feisty’s I Love Lacy is out! This is the fourth and final book from our Purple Explosion contest, and I for one can’t wait to get my hands on it. Lillian is an amazing writer, and this sounds awesome!

Today also sees the release of Deep Cover, the very hot and sexy futuristic novel from my Naughty sister Anna J Evans! I’ve been reading excerpts of this book for a while now, and I’m drooling. I’ll be getting them both as soon as I can tonight.

This weekend I plan on working on my books and getting some marketing done. I’ve been on fire this week for word count…though not on my paranormal. Amy and I have been on fire with our story, and I’m going to finish up my chapter and get it back to her tonight. The rest of the weekend I’m devoting to the paranormal, not wanting to lose the momentum that I’ve gained. I might actually finish it in the next month if I can keep this pace up.

Other than that, I don’t really have any other plans. Relax, write, and maybe drink some wine…

What are you up to??
