Nationals

What an amazing week in NYC at the RWA Nationals.
First, I just have to gush - I actually got to talk to Nalini Singh for a few minutes - lovely, gracious woman - and I was so glad to tell her how much I loved her Psy and Guild Hunter books.
After that, I had breakfast with Lori Wilde, to start off my 6 months of mentoring with her, and if that hour is any indication, it's going to be an amazing six months.
Lunch with Laurie London, who was also so gracious with her advice and support, was also another exciting memory.

I have 2 sets of requests for Heart of an Eagle (the book formerly known as Druid) and for Book 1 in my new Amesha Spenta Angel series (Cold Fire).

To all the wonderful authors I met, I will keep in touch, and I hope you will also.
Good luck to you all with your submissions, and thanks for helping to make my first Nationals such a fun time.

Cheers,
Rayka

I sold, I sold, I sold

Hot diggity dog! I signed a contract for two books with Entangled Publishing. My first paranormal romance, published in 2004, will be re-released, with an expanded story and a brand new title. If you liked Kat and Jake's story, stay tuned for more info on the release date of September 1, 2011.
And, the second novella in that series, Gina's journey to love and acceptance of her destiny will be released October 1, 2011.

I am so excited....and very pleased with my choice of publishing house. They have already been so welcoming, professional, and I think I'm going to gushing about my editor for a while!

Come back check for fun giveaways to celebrate the release.

Cheers,

Why is blogging so hard?

Now this may just be me, but I can't figure out why, when I'm as talkative as I am, blogging is so darn hard. I'd like to say its because I completed my magnum opus instead. But alas, that book hit a snag around Chapter 15 so it's back to plotting for me.

That said, I have some exciting news bubbling. Check back in a couple of days to see what's happening with my backlist.

Cheers,
