Happy Friday!!!

Today, at 4 PM Central time, I’ll be chatting at Books & Love (thanks for the invite Khelsey!).  It’s your chance to come by and ask me anything. 😉 I’m also going to be giving away a few prizes to commenters, including an ARC of ANGEL BETRAYED.  The chat will last from 4 to 5 (again, Central time), so if you’re available then, please come by.

And…I have cover fun to share.  My lovely editor have me the go-ahead to show the cover for my December 2012 release from Kensington Brava…(I love this cover!)

One final note…I’m updating my website and getting all of my book information reorganized. The update should be complete by Monday (fingers crossed!).

Enjoy your weekend!

I’ve got some great news that I am so excited to share with you–I’ve been offered a two-book deal with Harlequin Intrigue!  Yay!!

And, before I get too far into this news, I think I need to share a little backstory with you…

When I first turned my attention to seriously pursuing a career in writing, I entered a contest sponsored by Harlequin Intrigue. You see, I loved Intrigues. I loved (and still love) the perfect balance of suspense and romance.  I love mystery. I love tension. I love action. So, yes, I totally fell for these books. 😉

But back to the story I was rambling about…

I entered a contest sponsored by Harlequin Intrigue about, oh, ten years ago.  At that point, I wasn’t sure how strong my writing was. I wasn’t sure if I’d be able to follow my dream and pen novels. I just knew–I want to give this a shot.

Um, yes, I didn’t win that contest.  But I did get a request from a full from an editor as a result of my entry.  That request mattered so much to me–it gave me the confidence to keep writing. I realized that my dream could be possible. I could create these characters and these worlds in my head. I could do it.

So, flash forward ten years. I am writing my paranormals, writing about my killers, and I’m so very happy to be able to spend my days telling stories. Doing the thing that I love!

And now–let’s get back to this Harlequin Intrigue deal–a deal that I’ve been waiting to get for 10 years. (Hey, I can be a very patient girl! I’m also a girl doesn’t forget where her dreams started.)

The books that I am writing for Harlequin Intrigue will be intense reads–romantic suspense with a definite military edge.  The first book has the tentative title of ALPHA ONE, and it’s due to release in January of 2013.  Right now, my agent told me that the second book is scheduled to come out in February of 2013. (If anything changes, I’ll be sure to let you know.)

My hero is a SEAL (sexy SEAL!), and he works for a special unit called the EOD (Elite Operations Division).  The men–and women–in the EOD are the best of the best. They specialize in hostage rescue and unconventional warfare. Composed of individuals from a variety of military backgrounds—SEALs, Rangers, Delta Force—this unit never backs away from a challenge (and I do plan to give them plenty of challenges!).

I’m nearly finished with the draft of the first book now, and I’m having such a great time with this story.  I sure hope readers will enjoy ALPHA ONE–hot hero, tough heroine, danger, passion–come on, doesn’t that sound like fun?

Time for me to get back to work. Thanks for letting me share my news with you!

I love sharing covers. Especially when I find a cover to be particularly awesome–and this cover, well, I think it falls into the super awesome category.

I’ve got mad love for this cover.  I could just look at it all day (but I promise I’m not–I’m working, really!). I’m thrilled to be in a new anthology with Shelly Laurenston (I can’t even tell you how addicted I am to her books).  HOWL FOR IT is a September 2012 release, and, yes, as the name implies, there are wolves in this story. Hot, sexy werewolves.  My contribution to the anthology is a 40,000-word tale called, “Wed or Dead” (I’ll be sure to share the blurb soon!).

Have a great Thursday. I’m off to keep editing and revising a story that is due on March 1.  Happy reading!

During this lovely Valentine’s week, I’LL BE SLAYING YOU (my vampire romance novel published by Kensington Brava) is on a special sale–it’s $2.99 for the Kindle and the Nook! I’LL BE SLAYING YOU  is also listed for $2.99 at the Apple store.  Come on…vampires and Valentine’s Day! That’s a fun mix. 😉

Cynthia Eden returns to the realm of the Other, where the supernatural bounty hunters of Night Watch work hard and play harder…

Sandra “Dee” Daniels is a vampire’s worst nightmare. Sure, she couldn’t get up to five-six in the highest heels money can buy—not that she ever wears heels. But the monsters in her past and the stake in her boot are enough to keep most bloodsuckers interested in staying undead out of Baton Rouge.

But there are changes afoot on her turf. Rumors of a Born Master in town—a vampire so powerful he can make the streets run with blood. And a new face in Dee’s dive bars and alleyways—Simon Chase, a strong, sexy shadow with a haunted past of his own. Simon knows a lot about the dark side of Dee’s work. He knows even more about how to make her body spark with desire. But the hot lust shimmering between them is only the beginning. Because Simon also knows a secret that will change Dee’s life—if she can live long enough to uncover it.
