Spring has sprung, my pretties, and guess what I found while doing a little Spring cleaning? Four (4) copies of BLOOD BY MOONLIGHT were hiding in my office! It seems a shame to let them go to waste, so I'm going to sign them and give them away to four lucky readers! (Who needs cute little bunnies, chirpy little robins or daisy chains to celebrate Spring when you can have three spine-tingling

Of Wine, Cheese and Italian Sunsets

2012-09-24T14:25:00.000-04:00

I've just returned from 10 glorious days in sun-drenched Italy, and thought I'd share a few of the highlights, beginning with this photo I took on the very first night, from the window of my hotel in the heart of Florence. This beautiful old building is the Basilica di Santa Croce, the burial place of some of the most illustrious Italians ever known, including Michelangelo, Galileo, and

BLOOD BY MOONLIGHT

2012-08-18T10:41:00.000-04:00

I know it's still August, but I am SO ready for Halloween!! Luckily, my publisher is, too, and when I was asked to write a Halloween novella for an upcoming anthology, I was only too pleased to say "Yes!" The result was a spooky little tale called The Ghoul Next Door, and I can't wait for you to read it - the anthology just became available for pre-order. (Look at that cover... don't you

What I Do When I'm Not Reading

2012-02-12T10:30:00.000-05:00

I know a bank where the wild thyme blows, Where oxlips and the nodding violet grows, Quite over-canopied with luscious woodbine, With sweet musk-roses and with eglantine. ~ from A Midsummer Night's Dream Though it is February, I live in Florida, and this time of year, I garden. Here in the Sunshine State, Feb. thru April is prime time in the bloom department. By the

It Was a Dark and Stormy Night...

2012-01-14T14:21:00.002-05:00

The lawn is pressed by unseen feet, and ghosts return Gently at twilight, gently go at dawn, The sad intangible who grieve and yearn.... --T.S. ELIOT I've always loved a good ghost story. Put me in a spooky old house full of creaks and moans, thunder and lightning crashing, a mystery, a tragedy, or a love story, and I'm in heaven, which is

What's in YOUR E-Reader?

2011-12-24T12:31:00.000-05:00

One of the unexpected benefits of switching to an e-reader is the virtual "library" it creates for you. With just a quick glance, you can look back and see what you've been reading for the past year. I did that this morning, and decided -- just for fun -- to list the ebooks I've read in 2011 (excluding my own). *Note: This isn't a complete list of the books I've read this year, as I still love

Reviewers Choice - Devil Without a Cause

2011-12-12T10:52:00.008-05:00

Great news! I just found out that DEVIL WITHOUT A CAUSE was the Reviewers Choice for November 2011 over at GraveTells Paranormal Reviews. The reviewer includes several excerpts in her review, including one of my favorites... a scene where Samael the Fallen, Lord of the Abyss, comes face to face with both his past and his conscience, and doesn't like what he sees. So, because I love getting

A Devil Named Desire - an Excerpt!

~ Coming January 31, 2012 ~ EXCERPT Gabriel sat in Mr. Qualey’s rooftop garden, alone in the dark, watching Hope through the window of her apartment. The police and the ambulance had come and gone hours ago, and all was quiet. The night wind set the plants rustling, and lifted his hair. Gabe stayed in the shadows, wondering about the woman who thought him a murderer, and what had

Hope everyone survived the Thanksgiving holiday intact! I had a wonderful November, visiting the beach at St. Simon's, speaking at the Scribbler's Writing Retreat, working in my garden, cooking for my family. Now I've put the fall decorations away, put up the Christmas tree and started my holiday shopping, knowing full well that Christmas will be here sooner than I think. I also got two great

Urban Fantasy: Modern Day Faery Tales Drawn From Fantasy and Folklore

2011-11-17T11:08:00.001-05:00

I recently had the very great pleasure of talking to a group of aspiring authors, writing teachers and writing students at the 2011 Scribblers' Retreat Writers' Conference in St. Simon's, Georgia, and thought I'd post my notes on my topic, which was Urban Fantasy: Modern Day Fairy Tales Drawn From Fantasy and Folklore. (Because that's what I write, yo?) :) Keep in mind that these were only my

2011-10-05T10:10:00.002-04:00

Oh, joyous joy! Oh, heavenly happiness! It's time for the annual Halloween madness to begin! Yes, I tend to go a bit nuts for Halloween, decorating my house inside and out, turning my quiet little bungalow into a garishly gothic monstrosity, complete with a graveyard (my collection of headstones and cobwebs is pretty impressive, if I do say so myself!). I also like to liven up my website and

Attrazione Infernale, or Why I Love Italian

2011-09-10T09:19:00.000-04:00

Take a peek at the brand-new Italian cover of "A Match Made in Hell" coming from Delos Books! I love the look that Delos has given the Nicki Styx series (this is book #2), but just as a reminder, here's the cover for book #1, Dead Girls Are Easy. The graveyard, the cool blue colors... and I can't help it, but I think everything sounds prettier in Italian. :) For instance, just listen to

My Family Tree Is Full of Nuts

2011-07-27T10:29:00.003-04:00

I must admit that I've never really been too interested in finding out much about my family's genealogy; it was enough to know that my family tree was full of nuts, and leave it at that. :) My grandfather was a bootlegger who left North Carolina under a cloud of moonshine fumes (he was one step ahead of "them thar revenuers"), and my great-grandmother used to run a boarding house (at least, I
