Live the Fantasy?

It's not just the "tagline" for Velvet Ice - "Live the Fantasy", I mean.  We've been living the fantasy - I never really believed that the day would come when people actually paid money for my little stories - and we want our readers to live the fantasy, too.  That is, the urban fantasy, and the epic fantasy.  Like in our paranormal for Liquid Silver, Saving Jenna.  And our urban fantasy last summer for Loose-Id, Longfellow Seduced.  Both are critically acclaimed (ooh, I sound pretentious!), and (in my humble opinion) pretty effing-fantastic, but no where near as popular as the Velvet Ice/BDSM books.  Huh.  Color me confused.

Now, we've started a new series for Changeling; The Queens of Merab.  It's in the style of epic fantasy - a good friend compared it to the flavor of Anne Bishop's Dark Jewels novels (I LOVE Anne Bishop, and love even more being even remotely compared to her!).  In these stories our Crown Princess, Temair, must collect her four Consorts (one for each magical element: Fyre, Rayne, Aire and Earth) so that she can ascend and become Queen.  Oh, and she must also foil a plot by the men of Merab to overthrow the Queendom.  Sierra and I have worked incredibly hard on these stories - and I'm so proud of how they're evolving.  Doing a series gave us the opportunity to really create layers, and our writing is showing the growth.

Please, oh please, let our readers enjoy Merab as much as we do!  If you'd like to check our newest adventure out, head to changelingpress.com.  Right now we're still on the homepage (Yay!). Give Temair a read, and PLEASE let us know what you think!  Paranormal is such a love of ours as authors - we truly want your opinions as readers!

Meantime, Happy Saturday!  Hugs!

New Release From Mina Carter!

We're thrilled to share a new release from a new friend, Mina Carter, and our new, fabulous publisher, Changeling Press!

Tori's trying to find Mr. Right. So far all she's found are Mr. Arrogant, Mr. Self-Obsessed and Mr. Downright Scary. When her latest date ends in her dumping her drink in her date's crotch, a frustrated Tori takes matters into her own hands. One quick spell later and her very own Mr. Right is standing in her bedroom. So what if he's a wraith, a magical construct. She doesn't care. He'll do the job far better than any of her buzzing friends.

However, the ghostly hunk standing by her bed is hiding more than one secret: like the fact he's not a wraith at all, but a sorcerer looking for a way back to the land of the living. Jacob needs an in, a chink in some mortal woman's armour. He needs to hear the words "I love you."
