Meet Dakota and Brady from Demon Within

Demon Within Released!

Well, this is a huge day for me. It's my first release with Ellora's Cave and also my first delve into erotic horror.  I hope you guys will check it out.  I'm really, really excited about this.

DESCRIPTION

Dakota Daniels is an exorcist. Or at least she used to be, until a demon destroyed her life, killing her mother and sending her into hiding. She never knows what’s around the next corner or whether she’ll live through the night.

Brady Knox, billionaire tech guru and media darling, is a man used to getting what he wants. Except when it comes to his sister Sydney. She is the secret he never tells a soul. After all, how do you tell the world your sister has been possessed since she was ten years old without seeming like a lunatic?

When Brady seeks out Dakota’s assistance, he expects to get it. When she doesn’t comply, he’s willing to use every resource at his disposal—even if that means seducing her into doing his bidding.

Dakota’s body yearns for Brady but she isn’t easily fooled, and if she decides to help him it will be on her own terms—assuming they can both make it through the night with their souls intact.

None Of Us Really Know

Last night, I was watching How I Met Your Mother and it looks like we finally got to see Ted's future wife buying a ticket at a train station. I think.  I mean, the show has teased us so many times with this, and Ted is still hung up on Robin even though she is marrying Barney (and we'll see if that actually happens.), so who knows if this is actually the mother? This was supposed to be the show's last season but they all agreed on one more so I think the timing of this plot is now officially off.

But, I digress.

I read about the actress playing her last night and although she is not overly famous (for TV and movies) she has actually starred on Broadway in the musical Once, for which she was Tony nominated and I thought she looked 'right' for the role of Ted's wife.  Like they could fit together should she actually turn out to be 'the mother.'

I got a little teary about it. Not because the show is ending. I am actually really ready to see some resolution happening on HIMYM.  Its been a long haul and frankly if he were actually telling this story to his real kids it would be a screwed up parental lesson indeed.  I mean, how could they possibly look at Aunt Robin again? But, I digress.

I started to think about all the stories I hear from people about how they met their significant other.  It's really random, isn't it? Some people met in elementary school and always knew they should be together while other's were married to someone else in a relationship that just didn't work before the right person stepped onto the horizon.

None of us really know when life is going to decide to present us with greatness.  We could be planning for one entirely different life and the right person can completely alter everything we thought we'd be doing.  Kids? Who wants kids? Then all of a sudden, with your other half, you do.  Living overseas? Who would want to do that? Well, your spouses job takes you over there and then it is the best decision ever.

I met and married a man who has taken us on a grand adventure. I mean, I'm a little girl from New Jersey. Did I ever think I'd be living in Texas?  No.  Do I love it? Yes.  Would I be doing this even if I didn't love it? Yes. Because I love him.  And it isn't just one sided.  I was thinking the other night of just how many times Ralph has had to listen to me talk to someone about my writing.  He must be seriously bored with it and yet he sits, with a smile on his face, and listens to me tell the story of how I got published and what I'm doing now. Over and over again like it's the first time he's heard it.

For me, I can actually remember the day we met.  In graduate school. It was a beautiful day, the sun was shining through my closet window in New Orleans, Louisiana.  I was getting ready to walk to school and I remember feeling like the whole universe had just opened up to me.

I didn't know it actually had.

I hope it works out for you, Ted. I'll be watching next season.

AHH

I just wrote the words My Name Is Rachel Clancy to begin the last book in my YA series The Warrior. Having a little bit of a freak out.  Have you ever read a line in a final book that through you off or have you written such a line?

I'd love to hear from you.

Romantic Times 2013

So, not all of Romantic Times 2013 involved shirtless men but I thought perhaps you might like to look at it just the same. This is Austin, from the Ellora's Cave Cavemen.  Thank you Cassandra Carr for the picture.

I have never gone to RT before and so I jumped on a plane, albeit very nervously, and went to Kansas City. I'm so glad I did.  I learned a ton, met some really amazing people, connected with people I've only known online, and got to fangirl over some incredible authors.

If you're a reader, an author, or a bookseller I highly recommend you take a turn at RT.  I'm so glad i did.
