The Elves are back in town…

Alyssia's had it up to here with being a good Elven girl. She wants some action, some adventure, and something to do with her life except hang around in the eternally perfect, one-hundred-percent boring Underhill.

Besides, she's never fit in, and a lady wants to go where they appreciate her, right? Yep. Poking a hole between the Veil that separates world from world, Alyssia makes her escape -- and stumbles head-first into Interesting Times.

Devin and Cam have been through a rough patch lately, divisions and arguments threatening to end their relationship. They're still in love, though, and wish they could find a way to make things right with one another.

What they need is a little help. Possibly even Elven help. And lucky them, Alyssia knows she's just the one to lend a hand and make Devin and Cam fall in love all over again.

And, lucky for her, pretty soon Devin and Cam have ideas of their own about what to do with a pretty Elven maid, and they'd bet their love that she'll like them…

New Title in eBook: "Night Owl"

noreply@blogger.com (Willa Okati) — Sun, 06 Jul 2008 14:09:00 +0000

A new title is available in eBook this week, and I feel like a kitten purring in the sunshine after spending hours tangled up joyfully in yarn and catnip. There are some stories that tap at my soul and my mind, demanding to be written. Won't let me go until I do. This is one of them.

Night Owl

After serving his country in the Armed Forces, Taj knows that family, home, and love are the greatest gifts a man can have. He's in search of a lover who'll be his everything, someone he can cherish and who'll stand strong by his side.

Instead, Alder finds him.

An owl who takes the form of a man, Alder's exotic, affectionate, passionate and loyal. Taj could never have imagined anyone he'd love more and vows his fidelity to Alder until the end of time. Even when Alder loses his wings and can no longer fly in the shape of an owl, Taj stands fast, refusing to let his man give up. Whatever he has to do to help Alder fly again… he won't hesitate.

Semper Fidelis. They aren't just words. They're a way of life, and the foundation of a love that'll last forever.

Dragon's Delight: Now Available!

noreply@blogger.com (Willa Okati) — Mon, 09 Jun 2008 15:55:00 +0000

I love dragons! Whether majestic or scary, powerfully-bodied and mighty or sinuous and lithe, whether kindly or curious or wondering if you're crunchy and taste good with ketchup (okay, maybe not then...) dragons captivate the heart, soul, imagination and make you wonder what if there are noble beasts out there waiting to carry us away to fabled lands and wondrous adventures?

And if they're the amorous sort of dragon, all the better, yeah?

Another new release! Second in the "Dragon" series at Changeling Press, Dragon's Delight is a story of mistaken identity and a lonely dragon in search of his soul mate, who refuses to give up on love and fights for the human that delights his heart.

"A veteran of the war in search of a hero’s welcome, Collin finds himself S.O.L. The man he could have fallen in love with didn’t come home with him, and Collin’s left without a direction. What does a soldier do when the fight’s over?

Why, he finds a new challenge. Or, in this case, a challenge finds him. One of the mysterious dragons that appeared during the war to circle the skies snatches Collin from his home and carries him to the dragon lands. The dragon, Zacharei, claims he’s “returning” Collin to his dragon lord. But how can this be, when Collin’s never visited in the first place?

Collin begins to understand when Zacharei leaves him with “his” dragon, Avalier, a beast who’s the exact duplicate of Nyas -- and who thinks Collin is his “Kay-lin,” a doppelganger who disappeared during Avalier’s own last battle. Mistaken identity has never been this sexy -- and a mix-up has never been so perfect a solution for the lonely hearts of two soldiers."

Dragon's Delight, now at Changeling Press.

Rick knows better than anyone that no one can change the past. He's made his way to Italy to try to escape bitter memories and thinks he's found someone to soothe the sting: Adriano, tall and lean, laughing and generous. He probably could have a happy life with Adriano, but Rick isn't an easy man to live with. His best attempts just aren't good enough, driving Adriano away. Their story, however, is just beginning.

When Adriano loses his memories of the past and can no longer create new memories, living in a state of mind where it's "forever today," Rick seizes his chance to change the past. He doesn't realize just how hard the past will rise up to bite him...

noreply@blogger.com (Willa Okati) — Mon, 02 Jun 2008 21:06:00 +0000

Some fantastic new reviews to share! These'll keep my mood bright all week long.

Joyfully Reviewed's review of North Storm calls this:

"...a book that will capture you attention from the first page, with the rich world in which this story unfolds and with the lava hot sensuality that the characters express. The love that these two share will leave you flushed and reaching for something to cool down! North Storm is a wonderful romance set in a fantasy world filled with interesting characters that will keep you fascinated from beginning to end."

Thank you, Sabella!

Joyfully Reviewed's review of The Brotherhood 13: Incubus Call says:

"The banter between Jordan and Liam is fun and the action keeps hopping. Incubus Call delivers a humorous, sexy love story that shows love can conquer all."

Thank you, Beth Anne!

And the lucky third, Literary Nymphs' review of Sidetracked says:
"Sidetracked is a tantalizing story of two lonely souls finding each other. Willa Okati has a unique talent for creating a sensual illusion that holds you spellbound until the end. This is a very intriguing and enjoyable story."

Thanks to you, Chocolate Minx!

Cheers to you all,
Willa

Coming Soon: "Forever Today"

noreply@blogger.com (Willa Okati) — Mon, 19 May 2008 21:04:00 +0000

While working up to a regular schedule, here's a pretty for you: chic new cover art by April Martinez for an upcoming Loose Id release, Forever Today.

Forever Today follows Rick, a minor character from "Enough to Let You Go" which will always be one of my absolute personal favorites.

Rick, a former Paul groupie, has chosen to live a comfortable bachelor's existence in rural Italy. He's well settled in and enjoying his life when a face from the past returns to rock his world. His memory disturbed in the wake of an accident, the "one who got away" has searched high and low for Rick for both the love he remembers and the help he needs to heal.

Love, laughs, vineyards, decadent Italian cuisine, and a man who learns to change for the sake of others. Forever Today, coming soon from Loose Id, LLC.
