Disappearing for a While

I've been gone for a bit and wanted to let you know why.  There has been a tragedy in the family that has really hit me hard.  I needed to take some time away, but hope to be back soon.  Until then, take care.

Favorite Quote Friday #59

Happy Friday!  I've had a very rough week and hope yours has been better.  I even got stuck in an elevator.  Very irritating.  I did receive some good news, though, regarding the Immortal Guardians series that I thought I would share.  Books 4-6 will all be released in audiobook form in addition to the paperback and ebook formats.  I was very happy to hear it.

It's time once more for Favorite Quote Friday!  I just read back through a scene in Book 4 that features Lisette, one of three immortal siblings in my series.  Her character is leading me in a different direction than I had originally envisioned for her, and I'm really liking it.  So for today's selection, I chose a quote from Phantom Shadows in which Lisette speaks as she struggles to keep a door closed:

"Now they've gone and gotten a battering ram.  How rude."

I finally have a hero in mind for her and will enjoy writing their story.  :-)

Have a wonderful weekend!

Favorite Quote Friday #58

Happy Friday!  It's time again for Favorite Quote Friday.  

One of my favorite humans in the Immortal Guardians series is Sheldon, Richart's Second or guard.  Those of you who joined me on my blog tours also know him from the character interviews he conducts for me.  I just wrote a scene in Book 4  (I'm finally narrowing down possible titles) in which Sheldon was his usual outrageous self and made me laugh.  So in today's selection, taken from Phantom Shadows, Sheldon addresses Melanie, the heroine:

"Wow.  You really have a knack for making friends with antisocial bastards, don't you?"

I'm talking about alpha males and strong women over at Tote Bags 'n' Blogs.  Join me and enter to WIN a signed copy of  Phantom Shadows + Immortal Guardians swag.

Have a wonderful weekend!

Happy Friday!   It's time once more for Favorite Quote Friday.  Bastien has been on my mind a lot this week because I just wrote a scene with him in Book 4 that made me laugh.  So today's quote is one taken from Phantom Shadows and is spoken by Bastien:

"Boy, do not make me chase you."

Bastien's desire to help vampires doesn't always go smoothly.  :-)

Have a great weekend!
