As everyone knows I'm very excited about the release of Dragon Heat but there are many other things going on as well!

(BTW, if you've picked up Dragon Heat already, Malcolm's story The Black Dragon, will be out in November.)

I turned in my Torrid Tarot story to Ellora's Cave at the beginning of this month, so look for that in a few months (Catch a Falling Star). I picked the King of Pentacles--that card isn't the most exciting in the deck, but I came up with a gorgeous king with white-blond hair who is losing his healing powers (because of him everyone in his world prospers, and when he loses the power, he's expected to die.) His bodyguard/partner/lover, Deon, is damned if he'll let anyone kill his king. And then my heroine falls out of the sky, and finds herself captured by this amazing king and his to-die-for partner. Should she try to get away and get back home? Or give in and enjoy it?

Also look for a werewolf story, a short novel, coming even sooner from EC. It's in edits right now, cover is being worked on, etc.

Plus, Calder.... mmm. I've been branching off into other stories for EC, but now that I've gotten them all done, I'm returning to all Shareem all the time. I love those guys.

Take care,
