Sexy Soundtracks to Your Favorite Fiction
Whether it's "You and Me" by Lifehouse, "Don't Know Why" by Norah Jones, or "Magic Man" by Heart, chances are there's something sexy that would fit your story. I know that Dave Matthews Band's gorgeous song "Crash Into Me" came to mind when I read Cheryl Dragon's Four Guys and a Witch.
In November, my first Razor's Edge Press book, Nobody Rides for Free, will be released. I can hear "Low Rider" playing as Sinn, a faery worthy of her name, takes a little trip with her three new biker friends. Of course, later in the book, you might replace that song with ELO's "Evil Woman"...
What songs have come to mind when you read your favorite novels? Post a playlist for your favorite Changeling books or create one for a story you're working on.

Shifters and other paranormals
I write a lot of shifters. Really. From my Mixed Breeds series back to Mystic U and all, you can see I like wolves, cats, foxes and bears. Lots of fun stuff.
I'm finishing up Mixed Breeds 2 right now, and that one has a bear, a cougar and a wolf. Yum.
But sometimes I like to take a break and write something else. That's where Keeping Score comes in. Book one was about Rhys and Noah, two hunky demon hunters. They rocked my socks, and I hope they will yours, too.
There's one-upmanshhip, teasing, hot sex, and a Cajun grandpa.
Two Down oomes out in November, and it's book 2 of Keeping Score. It's fun. Spanky. Funny. It has a demon hunter and a blind mage. I hope y'all will take a break with me and check out the Keeping Score series!

Keeping up with Keeping Score
Just got through edits on the second Keeping Score book (m/m, demon hunters) and my wonderful editor says November for the release date! I'm so tickled, y'all!
Did you read Keeping Score: One Up? If you did, book two will feature Janus, who Rhys and Noah both have great fondness for in book one. He's the head trainer of the demon hunter set, and he's been around. He's been sent to retrieve a valuable asset of the demon hunter world, and he's not happy about it. Of, course, he's even less happy when he finds not an artifact, but a person. His ex-lover, Cillian.
Haven't read book one? It's about Rhys, who thinks demon-hunters should work alone. Too bad Noah didn't get the memo.
In the meantime, since I don't want to post an unproofed excerpt (I am the queen of mixing up "s" and "d" on my keyboard), have a top ten list.
Top ten reasons demon hunting is Noah's favorite job ever
10. you get to meet such interesting demons
9. Dental insurance from the union
8. who needs pets when you have shifters to chase?
7. knee-high boots. who else gets to wear them besides motorcycle cops and Jedi?
6. life is like a Scooby-Doo episode. How cool is that?
5. Hunters get to yell things like, "Hey, you scum-sucking bottom feeder" and it's not really an insult
4. Long coats are dashing
3. Leather. Pants.
2. Hunters get all the cool weapons
1. Hooking up with another hunter, who just happens to be a stud
And now some eye candy. How about my idea of a pretty young hunter?
Woo hoo. Thanks for reading y'all

Friday, September 07, 2012
Flash Fiction Challenge: Soul Debt
- A demon has come collecting a debt. Since you answered the door, guess who gets to pay it. And payment needs to be satisfactory because the late fee is killer.
Flash Fiction rules are simple. Write a quickie -- 100 - 150 words. Writing short is part of the challenge. The hotter the better. Authors AND readers are encouraged to play.
Note: Notice I didn't say "Flash Fiction Weekend." If the fun goes past Sunday, all the better.
