Hi, everyone!

Today I am participating in Lucy Monroe’s Reader At Home Conference. I’m talking about why I like to be scared. 🙂  And, hey, if you have checked out the Reader At Home Conference, you are missing out! There are tons of fabulous prizes being given away to commenters!

I’m also over at the Brava Blog.  My topic over there is: Fabulous First Lines. Got a line to share? Then come by and tell me about it!

Hi, everyone!  So sorry that I’ve been quiet lately–but I’ve got a good reason for being so quiet on the blog.  I was working. Really. Editing, revising, proofing.  Between July 2010 and March of 2011, I will have 7 releases (one is  a re-release, but 6 brand new stories!) that will hit the shelves.

In July, the second book in my paranormal Night Watch series, I’LL BE SLAYING YOU, will be released by Kensington Brava.  For the vamp lovers out there–this book is for you.  I like to switch up my paranormal characters when I write, but for I’LL BE SLAYING YOU, I went back to one of my all-time favorite paranormals–the vampire.

Then, in August, Grand Central will release the first book in my new “Deadly” romantic suspense series.  I’m super excited about DEADLY FEAR. It’s a very dark book with characters who’ve been to hell and back.  The next two books in the Deadly series are DEADLY HEAT (Feb 2011) and DEADLY LIES (March 2011).  I’ve gotten to see the covers for those books–love ’em!–and hopefully I’ll be able to share them soon.

I recently received my delivery of bookmarks for I’LL BE SLAYING YOU and DEADLY FEAR.  This week, I’ll organize my bookstore and reader mailings. If you’d like some bookmarks, just send your address to cynthia@cynthiaeden.com with the subject line of “Bookmarks” and I’ll get some out to you.

Here are the bookmarks, btw:

So with the back-to-back release of these books, I’m busy planning promotion efforts. Actually, that’s really what I wanted to talk about with you today.  I wanted to let you know that this summer–well, things will be pretty busy at my blog.  You see, I’m currently planning for my “Deadly Days of Summer.”

Beginning June 1, I’ll have some fabulous guest authors for you.  There will be tons of prizes–books, ARCs, gift cards.  Interesting posts, character interviews, quizzes,videos.  A fun time.  🙂

The summer will be divided into two parts.  June will be our paranormal month as I gear up for the release of I’LL BE SLAYING YOU, then, when July rolls around, it will be time for romantic suspense.

Oh, yes, my Deadly Days are coming (I’ll even have a cool widget up about the summer soon).

So please, stay tuned for more details!

And, hey, be sure you check back in tomorrow. The fabulous Elisabeth Naughton will be my guest for Write On! Wednesday.

Enjoy your day!

Today I’m talking about the inspiration of fear over at Fodder For Fiction–and I’m giving one commenter an autographed book from my backlist. If you get a chance, come by and comment!

Today, I’m over at the FF&P Blog–and I’m talking about Finding The Right Agent.  If you get a chance, come on over!

Hi, everyone! Sorry to be quiet. I’m working on revisions for one story and copy-edits for another (and, whoops–doing taxes! Gah!).

I’ll be chatty again real soon.

Today, I have a question for you.  Do you remember the book that hooked you on romance novels?  For me, the book was The Pirate by Jayne Ann Krentz.  Since that book, I’ve had to read every story that JAK has published.  She hooked me!

But who hooked you?
