Fab SF author and lovely friend, Jaine Fenn's

Guardians of Paradise

Blurb from Amazon UK
Most people believe the Sidhe are long dead, exterminated centuries ago when the males of the race rose up and fought alongside the humans subjugated and enslaved by the female Sidhe. But Jarek Reen knows better: he's discovered, the painful way, that the Sidhe are alive and well, and still screwing over humanity. They've already killed his sister, so he's not surprised when he discovers an old friend and her partner are next on the Sidhe's hitlist. He helps not only to foil the assassination attempt, but also to muddy the scene of the crime, leaving the Angels Nual and Taro sanMalia presumed dead - and free to join his crusade to expose the insidious influence of the Sidhe, and their evil plans to enslave the human race again. Their mission takes them across human-space, from utilitarian hub-points to rich, exotic planets - where they discover that a brilliant vacation spot hides some of the darkest secrets of all. And that's when they discover how easy it is for the hunters to become the hunted . . . 

In other news: I am on the fast slippery slope to the Deadline of Doom. (a.k.a. panicking like I'm bungee jumping without a rope!). I will be very quiet in the near future as I attempt to hit The End and the DoD at the exact same time. Wish me luck! (Also, my apologies to those of you I owe emails and other stuff too! I'm sorry, and I haven't forgotten you, but until the DoD has passed . . . well, I hope you understand if you don't hear from me until then :-))

Comment from CP (recently tweeted/FB'd) on latest offering: "Great scene!!! OMG! Most exciting book yet!!!!" Yay! *I heart my CP* *is happy bunny writer* *wonders if she should say scene was one with Malik . . .* *teases*

Book Contest!

Not so long ago, Amber of amberkatze.blogspot.com was kind enough to grill interview me about writing and research and what type of paranormal creature I'd like to be!

She also asked me which actor I'd take with me on a desert island - check out the interview to find out my answer to that [go on, you know you want to LOL! ] and all the other questions.

And if you leave a comment telling her which actor/actress *you* would take to a desert island, then you could win a signed copy of The Sweet Scent of Blood.

Writing progress


Emerging from the edit cave to say that the latest round of tweaks and changes and copy-edits on The Cold Kiss of Death [Spellcrackers.com book 2] have been delivered back to my editor - here's hoping she likes them *crosses fingers*. And of course, after I'd pressed that *send* button I had this fantastic high, thinking that Yay! I'd passed another milestone for Cold Kiss. Then of course, five minutes later, I'm back in the usual panic zone ... But a walk in the sunshine - and a good talking to from my BFF who quite rightly tells me I'm much too close to the screen to actually see it objectively and I'm feeling more optimistic. I love this book, Genny has some great adventures, and a lot to deal with personally, as well as a murder to solve, and a good few surprises along the way. [some which surprised me while I was writing; always a fantastic moment when that happens ;-)]

Not only that, The Sweet Scent of Blood comes out on the 30th April in mass market paperback and Gollancz have given it a wonderful new cover! Yay! Not that I didn't love the original, but squeeee!
