Take a Trip Out of this World

It's the Secret Cravings Paranormal Blog Hop!


About this time last year, I came out with a little novel called Pulse and Prejudice, the paranormal adaptation of Jane Austen's classic romance, which retells the love story from the point of view of Mr. Darcy - Vampire. Let me tell you, I had no idea what I was getting myself into! The last year has been a non-stop convoy of blog posts, interviews, and public appearances. Don't get me wrong. Yes, it has been exhausting, but I am finally fulfilling my dream of being a writer. Plus Pulse and Prejudice has just come out in an incredible audiobook version, I've had two more books published, I'm hard at work on two more, and I even have an honest-to-goodness literary agent! Now if I could just figure out a way to get rid of this pesky day job...

Pulse and Prejudice took me forever and a day to research and write because I wanted every detail to be historically accurate and true to Regency language and Jane Austen. That's why its sequel - Dearest Bloodiest Elizabeth - will likely be my last authentic historical novel! (I am planning a paranormal adaptation of Wuthering Heights, but I plan to make it steampunk to give me a lot more flexability.)  Rather than giving you the blurb yet again, here is the trailer for Pulse and Prejudice.



The trailer features photographs I took myself while on my trips to London and a piece of music of significance in the novel: Beethoven's Moonlight Sonata, although it wasn't called that at the time. This is one of scores (heehee) of little inside jokes I have throughout the novel because of the significance of moonlight in John Polidori's The Vampyre, which I borrowed for my vampire Darcy. (Be sure to check out the Pulse and Prejudice Pop Culture Challenge for your chance to win an iPad 4!)

Here is where I would normally have an excerpt from the novel, but Tim Campbell has done such a marvelous performance on the audiobook, I will just let him read it to you.



 Now onto the hop!

Today I am giving away an eBook of Pulse and Prejudice. Just leave a comment below, and don't forget to include your email address so I can contact you when you win!

UPDATE: The Winner of the eBook of Pulse and Prejudice as selected by Random.org is Vesper Meikle! Congratulations!

Today I am going to tell you about my upcoming Romantic Suspense Thriller Alicia's Possession !   After having both a Paranormal Regency and a Contemporary Romance published last summer, this year I am jumping into a new sub-genre.

Alicia's Possession will be released in July, so I do hope you will check it out. I don't have a cover yet, but most of the novel is set around lakes in Louisiana - so there you have it!

Happy Birthday, Jane Austen!

Miss Jane Austen was born on December 16th, 1775, in Hampshire, England. In honour of her 275th birthday, in conjunction with Maria Grazia's My Jane Austen Book Club , from December 16th through December 18th, we have a unique blog hop with the participants highlighting a favourite passage written by Miss Austen. Oh, and of course we have Giveaways! Please leave a comment below with your email address for my giveaway, your choice of an eBook or Print copy of Pulse and Prejudice , and be sure to continue on this special birthday blog hop ! The passage I have selected is from Pride and Prejudice ; however, for some reason, it is omitted from most adaptations. Mrs. Gardiner may be my favourite Austenian character, as she and Mr. Gardiner must be the most sensible people in the entire Austen universe! In this excerpt, Miss Elizabeth Bennet - en route to Kent - visits with her aunt and uncle in London. Gracious hosts that they are, they take her to the theatre. (Below this excerpt, yo
