WHISPER KISS is Joyfully Reviewed!

Sep 3rd, 10 / 3 Comments

A fabulous review for Whisper Kiss from Joy – here’s the juicy bit:

“What does a clean cut Pyr have to do with a punk tattoo artist? Just a passion that can’t be denied. Whisper Kiss tells of Niall’s mating with the spunky Rox that included sparks and flames and I’m not talking about the dragon fights.  Ever since I had seen a description of who Niall’s mate would be I have been waiting for this book and I was not disappointed. Reading of Rox’s childhood and how she overcame made me want to give her a hug. I had to laugh at Niall’s disbelief on just who his mate would be. Fighting every step of the way, it didn’t take too long until he couldn’t wait to touch Rox. I loved every step along the way as Niall and Rox learned about each other and their passion was more than just a destiny thing. The ending proved that Niall and Rox had a special connection that would never be broken. Whisper Kiss combines humor, snark, passion and danger that makes it hard to put down. I actually read it twice before writing this. So of course it’s Joyfully Recommend.

I’m now waiting quite impatiently for Rafferty’s book. I’ve wanted him to get his firestorm ever since I met him. If you haven’t read this series, you are in for a treat as you meet all the Pyr and their mates.”

How’s that? You can read the whole review right HERE.

Guest Blogging at FF&P again

Sep 2nd, 10 / 0 Comments

I’m back over at FF&P’s blog again today – with my Claire Delacroix hat on.

Here’s the permalink to my post: The Trouble with Angels.

Stop by and say hello!

P.S. – I’m unable to comment on the FF&P blog. Not sure why, but it won’t let me log in. :-( So I’ll have to reply to comments here:

LOL Danielle – I think angels are a bit scary too sometimes. Mine aren’t the fluffy kind.

Hi Amanda – Thanks for reading FALLEN. I was deep in PARADISE LOST and a lot of old sources when I pulled together this world.

Hi Debbie – Good to see you again! Love has to be the solution, doesn’t it, for angels in romances?

Hi Sharon – Glad to hear that you enjoyed FALLEN. I just recently read a YA by Melissa de la Cruz with fallen angels – it was called THE VAN ALEN LEGACY and was really good. Should have started at the beginning of the series, though – now I have to go back.

Well, Nightingale, you won’t be surprised that Lucifer has a cameo in each of my three fallen angel books – nor will you be surprised what he’s up to!

Giveaway Update

Sep 1st, 10 / 2 Comments

Hi peeps -

I’ve taken the info on the contest off the blog and off my FB pages. There seems to be some question as to whether this violates the terms of service of FB, so I’m going to wait and see what shakes out. People do run similar contests to this one, so I’m guessing there’s certain verbiage we need to include.

I’ll let you know when I know more.

Thanks for your patience!

Update – the giveaway post is back, with the teeny tiny type in place. Let the games begin!

Lace Knitting KAL

Sep 1st, 10 / 0 Comments

Today’s the day! Pick up your needles, choose your pattern and get to it!

What’s your choice for the KAL this month? I was going to cast on the lacey cardi from VK, but my KSH isn’t here yet. Maybe I’ll get two projects done this month. Today I’m casting on another lace project I’ve been itching to start: the Lady’s Circular Cape from Victorian Lace Today, also in KidSilk Haze.

Blackcurrant. Yum.

Tell me what you’re casting on!
