“The Pain Maiden” cover and back-cover blurb

Tags

,

The daughter of two mythological beings, Jinx Jennings has done her best to live a normal life in a small town on the east coast. Avoiding the heritage she would rather deny, she never gives in to her strange craving… a craving that unleashes an even stranger power.

When Jinx is caused pain, the agony she experiences also augments the power of the person who has harmed her. What Jinx sees as a curse, others regard as a blessing. Hers is a gift that many want desperately to control, for with it, one could rule the world.

When a legendary guardian is sent to protect Jinx from those who would misuse her and her extraordinary ability, she finds herself no longer able to reject her birthright.

And when love grows between her and her protector, she is no longer able to elude her destiny…

A Gift for the Holidays: “The Gossamer Gate”

Tags

, ,

We are offering The Gossamer Gate for free throughout the remainder of December 2011.  It’s just our little gift to you during the holiday season.

At the moment, you will find it free in all formats at Smashwords.

If you prefer Amazon, just give it a bit of time to migrate there – probably by the end of the week or middle of next week, just in time for Solstice and Christmas.

Happy Holidays!

Editors’ Wishlist

We want to see:

More fairy tale retellings, whether contemporary or set in a fantasy world.  We are especially looking for a good urban fairy tale that makes us want to curl up with a book at night; a story that makes us say, “Oh my, look at the time!” because we are so lost in it.

More fairies.  Explore the diverse races of the fairy world and give them a voice.

More realistic Pagan characters.

More humor – sarcasm, snark, witty banter.

Less half-human/half-fairy princesses who have been hidden in the mortal world for their own safety.  Give your character a more compelling reason to be pulled out of their world and into another.

Less vampires, unless the story has a unique twist.

Less “witches” who resemble anything out of “Charmed” or “The Craft”.  Magickal powers do not always equate to Pagan spirituality and vice versa.
