October 1st Update!
TWILIGHT PROPHECY is finished! Phew!
And oh, baby, do I love this book.
It’s one of the three brand new Wings in the Night
vampire titles you’ll see from me in 2011. One is a novella
called “Vampires in Paradise” that will be included in the
Nocturne special 2-in-1 release,
VACATION WITH A VAMPIRE,
along with a story by the amazing Maureen Child, which comes out
in July, and I’m actually going over the line edits of that
story as we speak. It falls right in between the two
culminating, series capping, earth shattering, full-length MIRA
releases, TWILIGHT PROPHECY in May, and
TWILIGHT FULFILLMENT in
October. Those two books are the stories of the twins, J.W. and
Brigit Poe. His story is first, and hers second. And his is
finished. I’m in the very early stages of writing Brigit’s
story now, and enjoying--no, that’s too weak a word--relishing,
basking, delighting in every single word I type. I love
this series.
‘Nuff said.
On the shelves now:
TWILIGHT HUNGER.
This is a reissue, but if you missed it, you’ll want to get
caught up. Others just want it for the gorgeous new cover
art.
Still on sale, all three of my summer suspense series,
The
Secrets of Shadow Falls;
KILLING ME SOFTLY,
KILL ME AGAIN, and
KISS ME, KILL ME.
Also, I’ve just added links to all of my FREE online reads at
E-Harlequin.com. There are quite a few up there, and most can’t
be found anywhere else, so enjoy them!
And now, life. Ahhh, that felt good. Get the business out
of the way up front and get on with the real stuff. I had a
moment, deep in meditation the other day, when I just knew,
(briefly) that we were not meant to live as we do. That our
jobs keep us from doing what’s important--just living. That our
houses separate us from the world we were born into, from
nature. That it is the height of weirdness to be sitting in a
climate controlled box (house), staring at a smaller electronic
box, (TV screen or a computer screen) instead of being out
there, living, hunting and gathering and communing with others
around a central fire. For just one brief, glimmering moment, I
felt like I truly got it. Truly became in tune with my
ancestors.
And then it was gone and I finished reading my
email.
Sometimes, though, it’s like the veil gets
disrupted, and I catch a glimpse beyond the illusion. Maya
is the Goddess who deals with this sort of deep knowing, with
those glimpses, and I’m going to spend some quality time with
her this Fall as she seems to have something to say to me.
Meanwhile, life is beautiful, illusory or not. I love it.
We’ve been very busy planning my daughter Stacie’s wedding,
which will take place just about a year from now, and so we’ve
spent nearly every free moment online, or on the phone, or in
the car, checking out locations, ruling some out, ruling some
in, narrowing down our choices. We need to get something booked
soon so we can get on with the fun stuff--picking the gown, the
bridesmaid’s dresses, the flowers and the cake! I can hardly
wait.
Autumn has been beautiful here in southern, central NY and
I’ve been posting my annual fall foliage shots on Facebook
daily. There are a bunch of them here, as well, and eventually
I’ll make a slide show somewhere and get that up and going,
probably over at
Shayne’s Shenanigans, my solo blog.
I just can’t get enough of the colors and beauty of this
season. And already, it’s nearly over. I’ve shot and shot and
shot and now the leaves have passed their peak and the vibrant
fiery hillsides are rapidly declining into brown. Soon to be
followed by white. I do love the changing seasons!
And Halloween will be here before we know it! Is that
amazing? Where did the summer go?
Okay, well, that’s the news from here. In summary:
And all is right with the world.
And I’ve started a list for my annual letter to Santa Claus.
Shhh! Don’t tell the Great Pumpkin!
Enjoy,
Maggie
