DIE FOR LOVE Blog Tour & Giveaway

We’re having another blog tour and giveaway to celebrate the release of DIE FOR LOVE, the next book in THE REBORN/CALLING Vampire Series.

The tour will run from January 6 to January 17th. If you’re interested in being one of the stops on the tour, you can click here to sign up!

I always resolve not to make resolutions. LOL! It’s always the first resolution I break.

This year I’m finally giving in and acknowledging that my Type AA personality needs resolutions. It likes to plan and I’m going to indulge it this year.

So here are my resolutions for 2014! I’d love to hear some of yours.

1. Get back on my health and fitness wagon. I’ve fallen off the last few months and need to get back on track.

2. Decide what to do about my writing career. Albert Einstein said that insanity was doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results. I’ve been doing the same thing over and over and I need to take stock and do something different if I want different results.

3. Do more good deeds. I try to do them on a regular basis, but it’s time to do more.

4. Become more politically involved. I’ve only been on the fringes and I think it’s time to be more vocal and active about what’s happening. (I won’t do that here, so don’t worry.)

5. Think about what I plan to do in the next two years and put a plan into place that will get me to where I want to be.

So come on! Share at least one resolution. It may get you a print copy of TO LOVE AND SERVE. Yep, I finally have some print copies. Which reminds me that I need to pick some wedding week winners! I’m a little behind thanks to a variety of things.

Since one of my resolutions was to do more good deeds, I figure I need to leave you with something uplifting and fun for this New Year’s Eve! So here he is. Enjoy!

DIE FOR LOVE is finally here! This is the climactic finish of the story arc for Diana and Ryder and an action-packed romance with dhampir Slayer Michaela Ramirez and FBI Assistant Director in Charge Jesus Hernandez. You may remember them from HONOR CALLS and now you’ll get to see their entire story.

I’m very excited about all that goes on in this book and what it sets up for future books in the series. Many of you have been asking and yes, there will be more books. I’ll shortly be at work on VAMPIRE REBORN which will be a novella centered around Ryder and all the changes with which he’s dealing. Hopefully that will be available in March of 2014. That will be followed by FIGHT FOR LOVE which will add more to the Diana and Ryder relationship, but also explore the workings of the Slayer council and the source of their power.

Many of you have also asked if Foley will ever get his story and the answer is a also a big yes! I just have to find the right woman for this very interesting and unique character.

Here is the teaser for DIE FOR LOVE.

Loving a dead man can be brutal.

Diana Reye’s pregnancy is draining her of life. Now she and vampire Ryder Latimer are faced with the most difficult choice of all. Turn Diana, or lose her and the baby. If Ryder chooses to save them, he risks the wrath of the Slayer Council and will be marked for his own death by their friend Michaela.
Chasing a vampire can be consuming.

FBI agent Michaela Ramirez has been searching for the vampire who raped and killed her mother while acting as an enforcer for the Slayer Council. Since meeting FBI Director Jesus Hernandez , however, Michaela is losing a bit of her edge as she imagines the possibility of a life full of happiness and passion with her handsome boss by her side…and in her bed.

Living without the one they love isn’t an option.

But soon trouble comes calling as the vampire she hunts makes Michaela his prey. Now Michaela finds herself in a battle not only for her own life, but for her friends lives as well, as she and Ryder both make the difficult decision to break all the rules for love.

And now it’s time for Man Candy Monday! People always ask who I would picture as the various characters if I was ever lucky enough to have THE REBORN/CALLING series picked up for a movie or television show. It’s always been tough for me to picture who would play Diana and Ryder, although Tyler Hoechlin would be high on the list to be Ryder.

But today’s Man Candy is all about who I would picture as ADIC Jesus Hernandez and that’s a much easier choice: Bobby Cannavale!

Bobby first caught my eye on Third Watch where he played an EMT. He’s a Jersey Boy from Union City and is half-Cuban half-Italian. In 2013, Bobby won an Emmy for his role on Boardwalk Empire. Bobby has been in a number of movies and television shows and I could totally see him playing the rough, but sensitive, FBI Director who has to deal with the very kickass and hard-edged dhampir Michaela.

There are few things more exciting than “The Call” from the editor saying that they want to buy your book.

But having your agent call to say that your book is going to auction because more than one publisher wants was just as exciting! Also nerve-wracking as we waited to hear from the various publishers what their offers would be.

That book that went to auction was TORI GOT LUCKY which was released under a name that shall not be mentioned because I truly did not like it.

My idea for TORI GOT LUCKY was that it would be a story about four friends and a surprise change in their lives that disrupts the close friendship between the women.

That break from each other allows each of them to truly explore what’s important in their lives and allows them to open themselves to various changes. Each of the women will confront family issues and their love lives. Each faces adversity of a different kind as the story progresses.

In the end, Tori and her friends will find new places with the men in their lives, their families and with each other.

So today’s Friday Read is an excerpt from TORI GOT LUCKY. In this scene, Tori and her lover Gil are breaking the news to Tori’s family about their upcoming wedding. It’s her family’s reaction that sets in motion the surprise that will challenge the friendship of all the women.
