OMG – the summer is over and I don’t even remember it. Okay, I know officially the summer doesn’t end until September 21st (my birthday, by the way). But to me Labor Day weekend has always signified the end. This has been one wild and crazy summer for me. I didn’t get to use my pool once, NOT ONCE. It’s a sign from God telling me to get rid of the stupid thing. So, anyone who wants an above ground pool, let me know. LOL. I’m looking forward to September for a lot of different reasons. I am currently working on two stories that have to be finished this month, see below for more details. This is my birthday month, have I mentioned that? But, the most exciting reason is I’m traveling to California to visit with Lena. Both of my stories will be finished by then (don’t you love my positive attitude) and we can relax and have a good time. Here is hoping everyone had a wonderful summer and read on for all the news of upcoming books! ~Liz
I have received a lot of awesome reviews for Wounded Hearts. Blue Ribbon Rating: 5+ from Romance Junkies “This novella was so awesome I had to read it twice! It completely sucked me in emotionally. … Liz Andrew's depiction of BDSM scenes is beautifully done. She lingers on the beautiful aspects of a dominant and submissive relationship--trust. The love scenes are not unnecessarily cruel and are paced perfectly to stimulate the reader. Give it a read! Heck, read it twice!” Five Roses from My Book Cravings “Oh my God, this book was so intense and intrigued me more then a book has in a long time. … The way Liz Andrews writes her stories she sucked me in from the very beginning. I just can't say enough about this book. It had me so glued to the book and the story, this story was pure heat and what most woman dream about.” Four Hearts from The Romance Studio “Incredibly sexy and equally poignant, Wounded Hearts battles some tough psychological territory but does it with finesse. … Each scene is written with the idea of reconnecting these characters. Erin and Patrick won my heart and definitely found a way to reconcile their past and present relationship. This book is timely and evocative emotion.”
Click here to check out my interview at Enchanting Reviews. I don’t have a release date yet for my Halloween story, Hankie Pankie, but it will come out sometime in October at Ellora’s Cave. The Powers That Be at Loose Id invited me to be part of a series of books for Veteran’s Day and I am working on an interracial story entitled, Through the Fire. This will release some time in November. Lena and I have been working on Nichelle’s story, Body and Soul. We thought this was going to be a BDSM story, but Nichelle was having none of that. Nope, she decided she wanted a ménage instead. Lena and I were skeptical, but we’ve trashed the first story we tried to force on her and have been re-writing it as a ménage and you know what, it’s pretty damned hot. No release date as of yet, but we’re hoping for this year. I have really enjoyed this series and Joy’s contribution is wonderful. If you haven’t read these stories yet, check them out.
My winner from my July contest was Dianne S. Congratulations! For September, send an email to msliz@lizandrews.net with the subject line September Contest. Good Luck!
An Excerpt From: SHADOW OF MOONLIGHT Copyright © LENA MATTHEWS AND LIZ ANDREWS, 2007 All Rights Reserved, Ellora's Cave Publishing, Inc. On the way over to his house, Jace continuously checked his rearview mirror. He wasn’t sure if he was checking to make sure Remy was still there or to make sure she didn’t speed up and ram him off the road. When he reached the parking lot at the Sanctuary she’d already been in her car, waiting patiently for him like a good soldier. Compliant Remy was just as annoying as bitch Remy. But he preferred the latter. At least then Jace knew she was acting off emotions, being herself, as irritating as it was at times. When she turned into Robo Remy, he had to resist the urge to grab her by the shoulders and shake her until the light appeared in her eyes once more. She was a warrior, sure, but she was also a woman. His woman. Once they reached his house, she meekly followed him up the steps to his porch and inside, all without uttering a word. Before he had the chance to turn on the lights, she made her way into his living room where she sat stonily on his couch and stared at him. Ever the predator, her dark eyes peered at him in the dark, following his every step as he made his way in after her. Grimly, Jace flipped the switch, filling the room with light. He was tired of her good-solider routine. “You can leave if you want.” “The hell I can.” “Go ahead, say it.” “Say what?” “Thanks to me, right? You blame me for this.” “I blame no one. I’m here to do my duty.” “I’m not your goddamn duty,” Jace thundered. “In fact, get out.” “No.” Remy stood and slowly walked toward him. “Nico told me—” “Fuck Nico.” “Don’t speak of him in such a disrespectful way.” The hell he wouldn’t. Jace was sick and tired of Remy fighting a never-ending war. There would always be leaders. There would always be crazy Weres fighting for control. But it didn’t make any sense to him why she had to be entangled in their war. “And don’t you speak of him that way to me.” “What way?” “As if he’s some fucking god. He’s just the Benandanti. Not some infallible being. The way you follow him around sickens me.” He shoots, he scores. Remy’s eyes roared to life as she stopped in front of him. His comments had obviously pissed her off. Good. “Why is that?” “Because you’re better than that. Better than all of them.” Remy’s eyes widened a bit, as if she were shocked by his words. “I’m just a solider, Jace.” “You’re more than just a soldier.” “Nico is my Alpha, my Benandanti.” “Nico isn’t here.” “What do you want from me?” Her eyes betrayed her uncertainty. For once his she-wolf was thrown off balance. Jace pulled Remy into him, pressing her flush against his body. “I just want you.”
