Last month, updates were pretty scarce, mostly because I was rushing to meet the deadline on Soul of the Wildcat. Well, the deadline has passed and I am happy to say the manuscript is safely in the hands of my Kensington editor–which means it is off my desk. Fortunately, the editor asked for very few rewrites, which I was able to complete in a day’s time and get back. Since he hasn’t peeped, I am going to assume the manuscript met his approval and is winging toward copyediting. Whew! Just made it with a minute to spare. The book is scheduled for a late Nov 09 release, and Peter was kind enough to send me a color jpg to share with readers. Get an eyeful of my eyecandy cover 🙂
I have to admit that I can’t wait for this one to come out. 🙂 What’s more, it will have an excerpt from my Sexy Beast 8 novella (April 2010), Heart of the Wildcat, in the back. I’ll be posting some excerpts soon as I get the book’s pages built!
In other news, I was thrilled to learn that Man After Midnight and Dangerous Ties both earned Cold Shower Required Awards from Pickled Cupid. This really made my day, as it’s a reader award, which means someone took the time to rad the book and let me know they enjoyed it. That means a lot in my world, LOL.
I also got a terrific review from Lea, who runs the Closetwriter blog. Here’s a snip of what she had to say about Man After Midnight: “Man After Midnight”, has magical fantasy, as well as science fiction and paranormal elements combined and woven into a beautiful erotic love story. I found it to be an exciting, occasionally frightening and at times a bittersweet read. There are biblical historical references in the narrative with respect to the origins of Casedren’s people that I thought was quite brilliant.”
Now that I am caught up I’ll be updating the site with the usual features, which will include the Monthly Giveaway, what I’ve been reading, watching and listening to lately, as well as filling you in on the latest things around the house on my blog. Once again, I thank everyone who stops by Devyn Quinn to check out the latest news and tidbits.
