Cover reveal for Mercy for the Fallen
We went back and forth on this one, trying to decide if we should try a sexy guy on the cover or not. In the end, we decided to go with the same model who’s on the Angel of Mercy cover instead since the story centers around Mercy more than any of the men in her life. What do you think?
Editing is going very well. I’m going to tentatively guess we’re looking at around November 9th for when this one is ready to go.
New Cover for Angel of Mercy
Mercy for the Fallen is chugging along through the editing process, and it’s time to start looking at cover ideas. This got us to thinking about a redesign for Angel of Mercy, something we’ve been toying with for a long time. This is what James came up with. What do you guys think?
The Fallen books 1-3 now available as a boxed set
The Fallen books 1-3 are now available as a boxed set for your kindle. I’ve never done a boxed set before, but it looks awful spiffy doesn’t it? (thanks James for the lovely pic, as usual!) Easy to navigate between books from the table of contents, this set contains Angel of Mercy, Mercy for the Wicked, Mercy for the Damned, deleted scenes form Mercy for the Damned and a preview of Child of Mercy. It can be found here on Amazon.com for $7.99.
In other news, I’m already deep in planning for my next book which I hope to begin in early March. It’s a stand alone novel about a demon hunter and his too-curious-for-her-own-good neighbor. It’s got sexy demons, magic, missing girls, a brooding hero with a dark secret, intrigue, body switching, mythology, tattoos, cheese whiz, you name it. I’m thinking of calling it In Darkness Bound or Let Darkness Bind Them.
Psst – Nine Steps to Sara is also free today on Kindle.
Silent Night, Busy Night!
Hey, everybody. Sorry I’ve been radio silent for so long, life has been getting away from me lately. In addition to the craziness at work, we’re going through a remodel at home and it’s been a little crazy here too. Luckily, I can see the light at the end of the tunnel. Between holidays and PTO, I have only eleven days left of work! Eleven!!! By the end of the year we’ll have our house back to ourselves with much anticipated improvements and I’ll be writing full-time! I can’t tell you how excited I am to be able to focus on my writing and family! I might even try to remember what some of my other hobbies are again.
I’ve been taking my down time from writing and putting it to good use by going back to re-edit my Mercy books for grammar and continuity with everything I’ve learned from my editing team. I’m thinking of putting together a boxed set of them next year, maybe with some character interviews and deleted scenes I’ve posted here before.
I can’t tell you how much I’m looking forward to getting back to Anja and Bishop for the next book in my Forged Bloodlines vampire series! I already have most of the book plotted out in my head, but I love the process of nailing down the outline and fleshing it out from start to finish. If you think Anja got into trouble in her home town, wait until she goes abroad after Bishop!
I hope everyone’s getting into the holiday mood! Here’s a pic of our tree with our pretty new mahogany floors. 
Child of Mercy is available online!
The next book in The Fallen series, Child of Mercy is now available for sale on Amazon and Barnes and Noble! It’s out as an e-book for $3.99 but you don’t have to have a Kindle or Nook to read it, they have free downloadable apps so you can read it on your PC, or even your phone. It’ll be available in print as well in a couple of weeks through Amazon.
“Have you ever gone to sleep one night and woken up and it’s two months later? Okay, not literally, but I swear it felt like two months went by in the blink of an eye. Still no word from Adam, but each day got easier to accept his absence, and I started to believe he might never come home. I started to think… maybe I didn’t want him to anymore.”
Child of Mercy continues the saga of angels and demons in Book IV of The Fallen. Left to raise a child on her own, Mercy contends with normal pregnancy woes, and a slew of dangers as new enemies and old vie for a piece of the child. Her heavenly cousins don’t seem all that pleased with her impending motherhood either, and Mercy needs all the help she can get to keep her baby safe. Luckily, she has friends and family around to help out (a little too much family if you ask Mercy), especially Parker who is more than happy to fill Adam’s vacant shoes. The question remains – will Adam stay away? And more importantly, if he waits too long, will Mercy want him to?
I’m taking a little bit of a break before starting my next in the Forged Bloodlines series, Find Me When the Sun Goes Down. I can’t wait to get back to Anja and Bishop and I hope to have it out by Spring of 2013
We have a winner!
Thanks to everyone who chimed in with baby names for Child of Mercy, I love all the great suggestions! Now I have a bunch more names to add to my fave names spreadsheet for future characters. I’m happy to say I picked a name suggested by Beckie (though I won’t say which name I picked for now, I don’t want to spoil the surprise), and it’s a perfect fit!
I have to say I’m excited to see what you guys think of this one, the characters completely hijacked my plot and took over – but in a good way. What they came up with is way better than what I had planned. Right now the book is working its way through my editing team and then it comes back to me for my final edits.
Next up will be the third book in the Forged Bloodlines series, Find Me When the Sun Goes Down. I can’t wait to get back to those guys and take Bishop and Anja overseas.
