Current Newsletter MAILING LIST Join Liz Andrews' newsletter list: ARCHIVES February 2007 |
It’s already April and I totally missed getting a newsletter out last month. I’ve decided that if I want to keep to the writing schedule I’ve set for myself I’m going to go to a bi-monthly newsletter. But it’s all for a worthy cause. Lena and I were a couple of writing fools and got not one, but two books DONE in March. I have some other good news as well, so check out the coming soon and announcement sections. Most exciting is that I am going to be at RT at the end of the month. For those of you who don’t know, the Romantic Times Convention is a time for Readers to meet Authors and visa versa. There are cool conferences during the day and rocking parties at night. It’s in Houston this year and I’m really looking forward to seeing some good friends. Hope to see some of you there, but if not, I can be bribed to produce pictures. ~Liz The good reviews for Myth of Moonlight keep rolling in: I’ve included a couple of snippets, but click on the links to read the full reviews: "Lena Matthews and Liz Andrews bring a feisty female character to life and pair her with a sexy alpha male. Kimberly is bold and brave. Nico is strong and yummy. Together, they make one of the best couples I have ever read. Their passion is undeniable and the humor they share earns this book Five Kisses from me. " – Two Lips Reviews "Lena Matthews and Liz Andrews once again make an unforgettable writing team and MYTH OF MOONLIGHT is the spicy and enticing product of their creativity." – Romance Junkies "If you love sexy werewolves, you’ll love this character-rich contemporary romance." – Romantic Time BookClub, April 2007
As I announced in the introduction, Lena and I have been hard at work. We finished a new story for Loose Id, loosely related to the Redemption Series, called The Sweetest Taboo, which will be released May 1, 2007. This is the story of Samantha Turner’s sister, Cory.
I’ve included an excerpt at the end, so check it out.
Lena and I just finished the second book in the Moonlight Series, The Shadow of Moonlight, about Remy and Jace. Literally just finished it, as in yesterday. So we have no details as to when it might be released, but it is coming and we are already throwing around ideas for book number three.
I just signed a contract for a returning home soldier story for Loose Id, Wounded Hearts, that’s scheduled to be released July 3, 2007. This story is NOT finished yet, so I’ll be working hard in the next month to get it completed. If you do get to RT, please join me and the other sexual chocolate authors on Friday, April 27 from 11-12 noon for a Lick That Craving Party. There will be chocolate and fun giveaways. If you have questions about how a group of authors works together across genre and market, come meet with the Sexual Chocolate and do some chocolate healing. I’ve been so busy, I haven’t had much time to read, but I’m recommending a book I just picked up today. I love this author’s work and if you haven’t read any of her stuff, check it out.
My winner from my February contest was Kathy W. Congratulations! For April, send an email to msliz@lizandrews.net with the subject line April RT Contest and you will be entered for a special goodies I pick up at the Romantic Times Convention.
Excerpt from The Sweetest Taboo © Lena Matthews & Liz Andrews 2007, All rights reserved, Loose Id With a heavy sigh, Elias slumped back in his chair and closed his eyes. A slow yet steady heavy pressure began to build behind his eyes, a sure sign of an impending migraine. Today just wasn’t getting any better. “How did you even get pulled into this mess that I amusingly call my life?” “TJ showed up in my yard again.” “What!” He was going to have to buy a tether to keep TJ away from Cory. Elias opened his eyes to find Cory watching him warily. Without another word, she turned and began bustling around the kitchen. She grabbed the tea pot and filled it up, setting it on the stove. “What are you doing?” Cory paused in her act of rummaging through the cupboard to shoot him an incredible look. “Looking for porn. What does it look I’m doing? Of all the lame ass --” the rest of her comment was lost to him as she chose a can of soup from the shelf. Even though she continued to talk under her breath, no doubt about him, Cory began to cook. She emptied the soup into a pan placing it on the stove next to the teapot on the stove, then opened the refrigerator and pulled out more food. “You’ve certainly made yourself at home.” Elias wanted his comment to come out snarky, but instead it came out with a tone of wonderment. Surprisingly, she did look right at home, and he was worried about how he felt about that. Because initially, it made him feel as if she were a part of their family, which then scared the shit out of him. He didn’t want to start thinking of her as part of his family. “Ah, yeah, well I’ve been here for a few hours. Besides you look damp and I refuse to come over here tomorrow to baby sit for you again because you get sick. You people need a keeper.” “We’re doing just fine on our own.” “You could have fooled me.” She buttered bread while she spoke, continuing to prepare dinner. She was chewing him a new ass, yet taking care of him all at the same time. It, like she, made no sense. “Stop.” he ordered standing up. Cory glanced over her shoulder. “What?” “Stop fixing me dinner like some good little wife. Stop muttering about me under your breath. Stop acting like being here like this is the most normal thing in the world.” Cory tossed the bread and knife down. “You are so fucking frustrating. I was trying to help you.” “Stop interrupting me.” Elias was getting mad and from Cory’s wide-eyed angry stare, he wasn’t the only one. “Don’t tell me what to do?” Cory stormed towards him, flames of anger coming off her in waves. “I can’t believe how ungrateful you are. Twice.” Unable to restrain himself any longer, Elias reached and pulled her into him, silencing Cory for the first time since they met. “And stop haunting my every waking hour.” Giving into the need that had consumed his soul from the moment they met, Elias covered Cory’s mouth with his.
