Hi everyone. I’ve come by to let y’all know about my new release, APOCALYPSE HAPPENS, which will be out November 3. But first let’s do a little get to know each other quiz. I love books and I know you do
too. So let’s talk.

1. What was your favorite book as a child?


I loved the Little House series by Laura Ingalls Wilder. Probably Little House in the Big Woods was my favorite and that was most likely because it took place in Wisconsin where I live.

2. What is your favorite book right now?

Lord of Scoundrels by Loretta Chase. It’s been my favorite ever since I first read it. The book is incredibly different—ugly hero, bluestocking heroine—with wildly clever plot twists and dialogue. I’ve never read better.

3. What book do you like to give away as a present?

I used to give away Through a Glass Darkly by Karleen Koen but now I’d be more inclined to give Guilty Pleasures by Laurell K Hamilton.

4. What book are you reading right now?

Evil at Heart by Chelsea Cain.

5. What book have you always wanted to read, but haven’t yet gotten around to?

Since I have a degree in English, I’ve read most of the classics, but I’ve always wanted to read The Wizard of Oz by Frank L. Baum

6. What book would you have liked to have written yourself?

Twilight

7. What book (not your own) should have made the bestseller lists?

Pete’s Dragon by Lindsay Longford

8. Who is your favorite fictional hero?

Edward Cullen—I was totally captivated by the Twilight movie and can’t wait for New Moon to be released.

9. Who is your favorite fictional heroine?

Anita Blake—the early years. When Anita first came onto the scene she was the only kick ass heroine around. From the instant I read about her, I wanted to write something similar.

10. What is your “guilty” reading pleasure?

People Magazine—My mom and I discuss all the “stars” whenever we get
together for breakfast. It’s shallow. But it’s fun.


And now on to the self promotion portion of our program.


Apocalypse Happens! Look for it in a store near you on November 3. This is the third book in my urban fantasy series The Phoenix Chronicles. In it my heroine, Liz Phoenix determined to stop yet another Doomsday. But this time, it’s going to be more difficult than ever because is bound and determined to destroy Liz and everyone she loves in the upcoming Apocalypse.

Liz goes to Los Angeles to ferret out a nest of varcolacs: half human, half dragon creatures who crave the destruction of the sun and moon. But before she can prevent the kind of eclipse that would bring the world to an end, Liz must mine the depths of her own heart. She and her former lover Jimmy Sanducci have some personal demons to battle—and there’s always her mentor, the Navajo shaman Sawyer. Is he on their side or isn’t he? In the end, the three of them must find a way to fight together…or perish alone.

I hope you’ll pick up Apocalpse Happens and that you’ll love it as much as I do.

I'll be giving away a signed copy of AH chosen at random from the posters on today's blog.
