February 2008
Hello and Welcome
to each of you.
Wow! We have over 80 members now, thanks to TRS and their daily contest.
The Romance Studio hosts a Book-A-Day Giveaway. I am participating in that every other month all through 2008 on random days. I just gave away a copy of A Second Chance. I select two random names from those who wish added, even if already added, to my newsletter and one from those who do not wish added. On April 1st, 2008, TRS will again collect names, this time for Dark Hope.
I updated my front page a bit to make the left side cleaner cut. I also added a calendar link where you can track me and any eXtasy author who gives me their information on the events they'll be attending or hosting. This calendar is also where you'll find any party the eXtasy authors are planning at the eXfactor.
Ya'll are all invited to the following events, chats and parties I'll be participating in. Make sure to check the calendar.
The authors of eXtasy Books are having a Love & Lust party in celebration of Valentine's Day on Saturday, February 16 from 8 am till about midnight. There will be prizes, Valentine's trivia and facts along with tons of excerpts. You must be a member of the group to participate, so head on over to join before the 16th and get in on the fun: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/theexfactor
My attention is currently on The Earth Series, a two-part series called The Cursed Hit and The Blessed Return.
What’s new at home?
Temperatures dropped and the heat is now back on. We've seen snow twice and both days shut down the schools. The pond had ice on it except where the circulation from the pump kept it open. The birds decided it was a great waterhole.
I'm thinking about a blog, but I'd only be able to update once or twice a month. I'll let you know by the next newsletter if I do it or not.
What’s out?
As before, the heat is on and turned up, the verbiage is hotter and the sensual/erotic aspects are passionate. I went up in flames! LOL The following have been updated, re-released and are better than ever:
Dark Hope (3 reviews)
A Second Chance: Tarot – King of Cups (2 review)
A Light in the Dark: Tarot – Four of Pentacles (2 reviews)
Home Port: Tarot – Four of Wands (2 reviews)
A Cry in the Night: Tarot – The Tower (5 reviews)
A Heart's Chance: Tarot – Two of Swords (1 review and this one raves)
NOTE: My contributions to both the Tarot Series and Collective Mind Series were completed several months ago, which is why you see them being released ahead of LaViolette.
What’s in the works?
Atlantic Allure: A Tale of a Tail. An ocean of opportunity and a broken heart mean everything to a curious man and a lonely woman.
***
When her boyfriend calls it off at the last minute, Miranda takes their intended lovers cruise alone. The pain of other couples hurt deeply, but the ocean holds the answer to a broken heart. Only the railing stands between Miranda and what could be.
Atlantis elders long ago protected the city from the force of human emotion, but Reef can’t resist exploring forbidden territory. Captivated by the shapely beauty at the railing, his longing becomes a powerful force that leads to risk.
What’s close to release?
Nothing yet, but that doesn't mean I'm not working on something. Well, maybe the Atlantis Allure is closer than expected.
What’s the order?
The Tarot Series. This is a series has no specific order, but involves many eXtasyBooks authors and has been in the works since 2004. It is hoped to go to print and possibly become a deck of cards.
The publisher’s dream. When our publisher started this ‘here is a picture, write me a story’, several authors jumped on for the ride. Our beloved publisher, Tina, in her creative endeavors, designed and handed all her authors a beautiful and interesting photo. Hence the birth of
eXtasy’s Collective Mind anthology
This series has four parts.
Violet Visions. In print. This anthology is a variety of stories by fifteen eXtasy authors.
Atlantis Allure. In the works. This anthology is a variety of stories.
Sanguinary Seduction and Emerald Envisage are the third and fourth to this spectacular collection.
LaViolette: the Saga will be released in order and is planned for a release every four months. The reason for this is a glitch in the story I must fix and turning up the heat.
The first two, LaViolette: Conviction Awakened and LaViolette: Adaptation, will be re-released just as fast as I can complete them followed closely by LaViolette: Into the Lair.
Into the Lair (pending release 2008 with the re-release of LaViolette: Conviction Awakened and LaViolette: Adaptation)
Again, welcome and I am so happy to have you in the group!
