Quick Update

Hey folks. Sorry for the randomness of the posting lately. My depression has been rearing its ugly head this month and I've gotten next to nothing done writing-wise. However, remodeling our front bedroom into a sunroom has been a very welcome distraction. For some reason, physical labor is extra rewarding when I'm feeling down--not to mention, the full spectrum lights are particularly attractive right now. We finally get to move the furniture in this weekend. I can't wait! A big, airy, bright, sunny room just for relaxing and reading. Exactly what I need right now.

Anyhoo, with all that in mind I'm not doing a free Halloween story this year. However, as I mentioned in my last post, you can get Scent and Shadow free at Smashwords through Halloween. Just use coupon code VM43S at checkout.

I will have a new Just for Kinks short story available November first, so stay tuned!

I have a guest post today over at VampChix & Bite Club. Come on over an leave a comment on paranormal bad boys and vampires who are monsters.

Also, from now through Halloween, you can pick up Scent and Shadow for free at Smashwords using coupon code VM43S at checkout.

Cry Wolf Release and Poet is Free Today

My short story "Cry Wolf" is now available as a single ebook. You can get it at Amazon and Smashwords, and Barnes & Noble should hopefully finish processing it soon.

"Cry Wolf" was originally published in the anthology Bedknobs and Beanstalks from Ravenous Romance in 2009.

When a large, bold wolf starts appearing outside the fence while Wil’s guarding his flock, the only person who believes him is the girl everyone expects Wil to marry. But Wil doesn’t want to marry any girl—he’s much more interested in the men. And as it turns out, so is the wolf... Contains explicit sex

This was the first skinshifter story I published. I'd been working on the shifters for a few years at that point, but stories always help my world-building, and it's still my favorite way to flesh out a new creature or concept or character. 

Also, today you can get my poetry and essay collection, The Once and Future Poet: A Writer's Retrospective on Growing Up, for free at Amazon. And if you don't have a Kindle, email me your receipt and I'll email you back with the book in EPUB or PDF.
