In the small shifter community of Delta, Utah, there's no such thing as a stranger. Everyone knows everyone, so a new face in town doesn't go unnoticed. When a woman Dylan Peterson doesn't recognize shows up at his twenty-first birthday bonfire bash, he does what comes naturally as a host--he introduces himself. The enigmatic Gena Pelletier is the most gorgeous woman he's ever seen, and the most aloof. A scorching encounter with her under the moon blindsides him, leaving him wondering what just happened--and watching her disappear into the night. Gena wasn't born wild, but ever since her father's murder she's lived outside Delta borders on her own terms. She has no desire to return to civilization, not to its constraints, nor its rules.

Neither of them knows what to make of the other...and neither can walk away.

RT Con Orlando: First Post

I'M HERE!!

Well, I got here last night at around 6:30pm and then proceeded to lose my mind trying to figure out what I should do I next. I picked up my registration, which I was really happy they were doing early. I also nabbed Camille Anthony's and Stephanie "Flash" Burke's (and her hubby's) because they were coming in later and there was no need not to grab them.

We stayed up until almost 2am jawing at each and laughing at how exhausted we all were. I drove from Augusta, GA, Camille drove from South Carolina and Flash drove all the way from Baltimore, MD (we already knew she was nuts). We all got here safe and sound. We're not staying in the convention hotel but a rented "house" two miles down the road. The cost of the house and the cost of the hotel room was roughly the same, but in the house we have a full kitchen, three bedrooms, a laundry room, and one hell of master bath (thing is flippin' huge!). So we're having fun and we haven't really done anything yet, convention-wise.

After I write this, I'm going to head to the shower and then we're off to the hotel for breakfast. I may or may not be on TV, like I was last year, but we'll see.

So I'll be taking pictures and talking a lot and doing a lot and hopefully blogging about it. We'll see what my time allows me.

Halle Pumas, Book 4 Coping with a devastating injury is hard enough for Belinda "Belle" Campbell. Forced separation from her destined mate while she heals is almost more than she can endure. Until she is strong enough to take up her duties as Luna of the Poconos Wolf Pack, however, the safest place for her is Halle. Now, after months of being alone, she is more than ready to be claimed. But is the pack ready for a Puma Luna? Rick Lowell has waited long enough to bring Belle home where she belongs. He's aware of the danger, as well--and it isn't long before a bitch with an eye on Belle's position issues a challenge. The only way to put down the threat is for Belle to defeat the usurper in combat. There's only one problem. Thanks to the pins in her broken hip, Belle can't shift. Without that tactical advantage, it won't be a fair fight. With his new mate's life on the line, Rick is forced to make a decision that will change everything. That is, if Belle gives him the chance to make it. Warning: This title contains explicit sex, graphic language, lots of doggie (or is that kitty?) style and some songs Rick will never want to hear again. Ever.

Duty has always been Estelle Travis's byword. But every woman has her limits, even a recently widowed one with few prospects. Her father's coldly calculating plan to force her into another marriage is the final straw. In an act of rebellion, she takes up a position as companion to Lady Crawley. She soon realizes she may have just exchanged one peril for another, in the guise of Alexander, Viscount Crawley. Alex is beguiled by the aura of mystery that surrounds the beautiful new governess. Her air of vulnerability brings out his protective instincts in spades. He discovers her well-hidden reckless streak when her sister goes missing and, rather than do what's expected and return to her father's austere household, Estelle embarks on her own search. Amid a thickening cloud of suspicion and whispers of murder, what choice does a gentleman of honour have other than to offer his assistance? Then there's the allure of her company, even if it exposes him to dangers that have little to do with her sister's plight...

Ripped from his family as a child and sold into slavery, Paole's natural gift for healing made him a valuable asset but did little to shield him from abuse and prejudice. Though he's now free, for the first time in his life he's alone--and he hates it. All he wanted was an apprentice and traveling companion in this hostile land. Instead he winds up the unintentional owner of a slave with a mulish attitude...and a suspicious history. Yveni dares not tell the truth about who he is, and Paole refuses to trust him until he comes clean. The battle of wills only serves to heat up a sizzling attraction that throws a new complication into the mix: love. Paole wants acceptance. Yveni wants his birthright. Even if they manage to come to an understanding, forces are gathering against them that could tear them apart forever... Warning: Virginal angsting, interminable UST, and tender loving.

Author Interview: Eve Summers

The Basics
- Eve Summers
- Brand(s): Intelligent hot writing for intelligent hot women.
- Genre(s): Romance, SF Romance, Contemporary Romance
- Publisher(s): Red Rose Publishing

To Other Authors

- What are the three MOST important pieces of advice you would give to a brand new author?

• 1. Writing is a lonely arduous job, and in 99% of cases it's unpaid too. Are you sure you want to do it?
• 2. You do? Ok. Go out and buy yourself a thick skin. Make that three thick skins. You'll need them when reading crits and reviews of your work. While out shopping, get yourself a bigger wall. You'll need it for all the rejection letters.
• 3. Still keen? Congratulations. You have what it takes to be a writer.

- What's your favorite way to advertise?

• I prefer online advertising (blogs, banners, chats) for ebooks and postcards for paperbacks. I get the postcards from VistaPrint and I make sure there is enough space on the back to write notes such as “See you Thursday 5pm at the mall” or “The hairdresser's name is Crissy and her number is xxx-xxx”. I hand them out to friends….

- What hard-knock lesson did the publishing world teach you (can be your own experience or someone else's that you learned from)?

• Write what you want to write, not what you think the publisher wants. A few years ago I spent 3 months on a non-fiction book I didn't want to write, but I had the knowledge and the contract and it just made so much sense to do it…. Except that when I was done, the publishing house decided to close down the department I was contracted to and there was no kill fee in my contract. Lesson learned: life is too short to write books you're not passionate about.

For the Readers

- What are you reading, if anything, at the moment?

• “Widow Clicquot” because I love the champagne, but it's a slow read because it's non-fiction, so I'm splicing it with romances from Red Rose Publishing.

- Do you prefer ebooks or print for your reading pleasure?

• Always print. The computer is where I work. I read for pleasure in bed, in the bath tub, on the front porch and in coffee shops.

- Name three of your all-time-favorite, read-them-over-and-over books.

• 1. everything by Terry Pratchett (the Discworld series)
• 2. “Gods in Alabama” by Joshilyn Jackson
• 3. Jennifer Crusie's “Welcome to Temptation”

Idle Curiosity Compels Me to Ask

- What inspired you to be a writer?

• The silliest thing of all: I wanted to impress a boy and I imagined I would be more appealing if I could claim I was “writing a story”. Of course, years later, I understand that what impresses a young man is a deep cleavage, not a deep plot line….

- What do you do immediately after finishing a manuscript?

• I look around my office and think: now what? What do I do when I'm not a writer? (Renee note: I completely sympathize. When your hobby and career are writing, what do you do when you're done?)

- Do you talk to your characters or your muse or both?

• Not usually, though I do admit I once talked to a minor character. She spoke back, which unnerved me no end and I've never dared to do it again.

Caitlin Moore has every reason to celebrate. She's through with law-school finals, and out for some post-semester fun when she runs smack dab into Eamon Blake, the Irishman with whom she had a summer fling years ago. Time hasn't dimmed their lingering friendship--or their sexual chemistry. Eamon isn't looking for love when he bumps into Cat while he's in Seattle on a job. Yet over the next year, he finds himself involved in a rekindled long-distance romance that moves from casual to a lot more. That's the rub. Cat is determined not to repeat her past mistakes with men and give up the dream job for which she's worked so hard. Independence is something she's spent years achieving. Eamon can start over so much easier than she can--why shouldn't he make the sacrifice this time? But Eamon doesn't much relish leaving the life he's been building in Los Angeles--and he really doesn't like ultimatums. At an impasse, goodbye seems the only direction to go. Ending it is the right thing to do...or the biggest mistake they ever made. Warning: Like-whoa sexy Irishmen speaking French in the ear of a very willing Seattleite. Sexin with all the big words.
