Today’s a big day for me. Tiffany Tumbles, the first in the Interim Fates series, hits print. Getting Tiffany in front of you readers took some work—and I don’t just mean the writing. The Interim Fates appeared one afternoon as I wrote the Fates series under my Kristine Grayson pen name. The Fates got demoted, […]
Continue ReadingYou can now preorder all of the Interim Fates novels…on three ebook sites: Amazon, iBooks, and Kobo. If you want the books from another site (I’m looking at you, Barnes & Noble), then you’ll have to wait until the release date.
Continue ReadingOver the weekend, I headed to traditional publishers’ websites and look at their paranormal romance covers only to discover…that the damn books are branded like urban fantasy or like an E.L. James knockoff or like a cookbook or travelogue. All of this points out a huge problem in the paranormal romance genre. There’s nothing that screams modern paranormal romance. Believe me when I tell you that readers look for such things.
Continue ReadingI am really excited to announce that the first book in my Interim Fates series is now available for preorder. I have always had a special place in my heart for the Interim Fates, teenage girls who got in over their heads when their father (Zeus) put them in charge of all magic. And, when […]
Continue ReadingIn the past two weeks, I wrote two year-in-review posts, “What Traditional Publishing Learned in 2014,” and “Things Indie Writers Learned in 2014.” Those two posts came after I started this one. I’ve been writing bits of this one off and on since October, as the year has become clearer in my brain. Usually, I […]
Continue ReadingAfter I finished the Retrieval Artist novels, I scrambled to write a new Kristine Grayson holiday romance. I had written two before, and I really wanted to get the third to you before the season began. Dressed in Holiday Style is loosely related to the other two, but go ahead, read it first. Then read the other […]
Continue ReadingAcclaimed romance writer ML Buchman asked me to participate in brand new Storybundle. I’m thrilled about this one. I have read almost every single novel in it, and can recommend them. If I haven’t read the book, I’ve read work by the author, and in the cases of ML Buchman and Anthea Lawson, bought their […]
Continue ReadingBefore I get too deep in this week’s blog post, I’m going to point out a few things of my own that will be part of future blog posts (and also touch upon past posts). First, I’m participating in the first of three book bundles. This kind of bundle (there are several other kinds, which […]
Continue ReadingLast week, I got taken to task all over writer communities on the internet (and probably in writers’ group meetings as well) for telling writers with only one or two books out not to worry about promotion. The response I got in the comments to last week’s blog were mild compared to the vitriol my […]
Continue ReadingHalloween’s over, and so is Daylight Savings Time. I’m already seeing ads for Black Friday specials, and those sales won’t happen for another 27 days. People love to experience the season, and they love to read about the season. Holiday books always come out early enough for folks to read while the cookies bake and […]
