Midweek check-in

My stitches come out today (yay!) and I am still working away on the proposal for Tegan's book. There's *a lot* I want to incorporate into the plot since it's technically the end of a trilogy (I'm currently contracted for three books, this being the last one) but this story also needs to leave a small door open for the next three books in the series (hopefully to be contracted in a few months, and knock on wood, all signs seem to indicate "yes!").

Some of you asked for pictures of the ARCs for KISS OF MIDNIGHT so here ya go! It's almost a real book now--squee!!

In case you're wondering, I did get a few more copies than what's shown here, but not enough to surround my entire body with like Jaci did with her first Bantam Dell book. Because she's *special*.

FYI: If you entered the bookmark/ARC contest below and *did not* provide me with your email address, you need to check back on Friday to see if you won the drawing. I probably should have thought to mention that when I announced the contest . . . :-?

Bookmarks -- and a contest!

I've been plotting like crazy this weekend on Tegan's book (oh, do I have plans for that one!) but I did manage to wrestle my scanner into submission and upload some pictures of the bookmarks I designed for KISS OF MIDNIGHT and KISS OF CRIMSON. Here they are!

..............

And since ARCs for KISS OF MIDNIGHT are on en route from my publisher, I'm thinking I should probably hold some kind of drawing to give one away. So . . . how's this? Everyone who comments on this post and/or requests bookmarks will be entered into a random drawing for an ARC! For those of you who already requested bookmarks, you're automatically in the drawing. One entry per person, just to keep things fair.

I'll assign a number to each comment and/or emailed bookmark request, then at the end of next week--let's say, Friday, February 2nd--I'll randomly select a winner from all the entries received by midnight, February 1st.

Does that sound good to you?

ETA: Because my blog template can't handle anonymous comments, you can also email me at Lara (at) LaraAdrian.com and I'll add your name to the contest drawing.

ARCs!!

Exciting news out of my publisher today (okay, well, it's exciting to me!). I'm getting a small supply of bound ARCs (advance reading copies) for KISS OF MIDNIGHT in the next couple of days! I won't have a lot, but I will have enough to host a little blog party giveaway. Watch for details next week sometime!

Freebies, anyone?

I'm skipping the Thursday Thirteen this week, but I do have something fun to offer in its place . . . FREE STUFF!

Bookmarks for KISS OF MIDNIGHT and KISS OF CRIMSON have just arrived, along with a small supply of fridge magnets featuring the cover art from both books. Any takers? They're free, just for the asking!

If you want them, email me at Lara (at) LaraAdrian.com with your name and mailing info. Open to everyone, not just U.S. residents. I'm an equal opportunity promo pusher! :-)

******
ETA: Clue No. 1 that my brain is lost to the current WIP? Until this blog entry posted, I thought tomorrow was Thursday. Even though it's not, don't look for a TT from me this week. Too much thinking required for that at the moment!

Tegan on the brain . . .

I woke up this morning around 3AM, my head spinning with scenes and dialogue for my current book, Number 3 in the Midnight Breed series. Since it's untitled for now, I'm just calling Tegan's Book. He's the dark sheep of the group, the one you probably shouldn't completely trust, even though he's golden, gorgeous, and flawlessly perfect in his violence against his enemies. Oh, and he's slightly psychotic. Naturally, I adore him. :)

This week I hope to have my proposal (outline and three chapters) completed and ready to send off to my editor. After mulling over the story this past weekend and working on character/conflict stuff, I think this book may end up being the most emotional, most sensual entry in the series so far. That's generally my goal whenever I sit down to write a new book--to make this one "more" than the one that came before it. Achieving that goal is the tricky part.

Now I'm off to google images of Gabriel Aubrey for my character file. God, I love research!

What are you working on this week?

kiss of midnight news . . .

Last month you may recall that Samhain's Evil Editor Angie posted the very first review for KISS OF MIDNIGHT (thanks, Angie!) but last night I got review number two, this time from fabulous Amanda of LoveVampires.com, a UK-based site dedicated to vampire fiction of all genres. We first connected via MySpace, and Amanda later surprised me by showcasing my book as one of several she was looking forward to in 2007. Well, no good deed shall go unpunished, so I sent Amanda a galley of KISS OF MIDNIGHT for review. She read it, and last night blew me away with a fantastic 5-star review! Thank you so much, Amanda!! :)

In other news, I've learned through the grapevine (aka, obsessively googling myself) that the Spanish translation of KISS OF MIDNIGHT will be published by Roca Editorial this summer! When they picked up the rights, they had originally mentioned 2008 as a possible pub time, but it appears that the book is going on sale July 2007. The new title, which is actually the Spanish translation of the old title, will be El Beso de la Oscuridad. Magnifico!

I plan to celebrate with a margarita (or two) and dinner out tonight. Happy Friday, everyone!

thursday thirteen #5 . . .

Thirteen Things about my family history
1. In 1533, one of my ancestors, John Leland (or Layland, Leyland), served King Henry VIII as his antiquarian. It is believed that this post may have come to him as a promotion from that of royal librarian after Leland wrote poems celebrating Anne Boleyn's coronation, which were read at the coronation ceremony.

2. Amusingly, in his travels in 1542, John Leland made a reference to Cadbury, England, as being the site of Camelot from Arthurian legend. Whether based on research or speculation, Leland's statement persists to this day.

3. This same John Leland was a very respected scholar and researcher, producing several written works and earning him the distinguished reputation as "the father of local English history." Much of his notes and publications are kept at the Bodleian Library of the University of Oxford.

4. John Leland spent his later years working on an extensively researched book to be called History and Antiquities however, despite voluminous notes still referenced today, he never finished the book because he was certified insane in 1550, was committed, and died in 1552. So, when I say I'm crazy on deadline, I'm probably not kidding. :-/

5. A descendant of John Leland above, Henry Leland came to America from England in the mid-1600s and eventually settled in Sherborn, Massachusetts. In the center of town, there is a monument dedicated to him as one of the founders. I have a photo of it somewhere. Additionally, all the Lelands in the U.S. trace their roots back to "our" Henry. There are, according to various sources, eleven generations of the Leland family in this country.

6. Branching off the Leland tree in Sherborn was Alvan Pratt, who was a 19th century gunsmith of some renown. Two of his pieces--a boy's rifle and a Massachusetts militia musket--are on permanent display at the Concord Museum.

7. Also in Sherborn, at the war memorial downtown, one of my ancestors, Theodore Pratt, is listed as a Civil War casualty. I have a photo of this, too, somewhere . . . .

8. As I understand it, my family has a perpetual care plot at Sherborn's historic Pine Hill cemetery, where I could be interred if I want to be. You know, eventually.

9. On another branch of my New England family tree you'll find a fellow named William Bradford. In 1620, Bradford and a group of courageous travelers boarded a ship called the Mayflower and sailed to America. In 1621, after the death of the first Plymouth Colony Governor, William Bradford was elected and held that post for more than 30 years.

10. William Bradford was also something of a writer, chronicling the journey of the Mayflower and the establishment of the Massachusetts Colony in his journal, Of Plimoth (or Plymouth) Plantation and also putting together The Mayflower Compact.

11. Moving way forward in time, and more along the lines of trivial family history, rumor has it that my grandfather's aunt owned one of the famous Inverted Jenny postage stamps. No idea what may have happened to the stamp, if in fact it was ever in Great-great-great Aunt Emma's possession. But it's fun to think she might have had one!

12. More trivia: When I was a kid, my grandfather used to own a small cabin at Point Judith, Rhode Island. He sold it for a song in the late 1970s because he couldn't afford the taxes, but he made a gentleman's agreement (verbal) with the man who bought the property that the small shed abutting the fishermen's right-of-way would remain intact in case any of us wanted to use it. More than 20 years later, my husband and I drove past the area while on vacation and discovered a huge multi-million dollar home standing on Grandpa's lot. But right next to the big house, on the right-of-way, was a small shed. I rather doubt it was *the* shed, and while we did take pictures from the road, we didn't pop in to inquire if we could bunk down there for a night or two. Looking back, I rather wish we had asked . . . :-P

13. This same grandfather, the only one I knew, and knew too little since he was in Massachusetts and I grew up in Michigan, was very supportive of my dream of becoming a novelist. He died before I got published, from a massive heart attack suffered in his kitchen while he was making coffee, and it's a great regret of mine that he never got to see one of my books in print. I guess that's not technically family history, but there you go.

a pound of flesh . . .

Okay, so it really wasn't a pound, but it feels like it! Yesterday I had outpatient surgery to remove a mole from my back. Skin cancer is a big thing in my family--melanoma killed my paternal grandmother, and my dad and almost all of his brothers have had brushes to varying degrees with basal cell carcinoma. So it's definitely a concern.

Anyway, I've had a few moles removed before, but never one requiring scalpel and sutures. I figured I'd walk out of there with maybe three or four stitches. I mean, it wasn't a huge mole, and it was right between my shoulder blades, about center on my spine. Well, after feeling the dermatologist tug about half a dozen times back there as he was sewing me up, I had to ask: "How many stitches are you giving me?" He said, "You mean, so far?" Gack! Final tally was eleven!

Here's what it looks like*:

* Or rather, what it feels like. I didn't get satin ribbon or a fancy bow. ;-)

just stuff . . .

Having a DOA email system is not entirely bad. Once the chills and shakes of withdrawl pass, you actually find other things to occupy your time--productive things! This weekend I managed to finish my promotion budget, book a couple of ads (and design them), order bookmarks, AND submit my website information to my web designer. Amazing!

This week I'm all about Midnight Breed Book 3. The plot is starting to gel in my mind, and all I need to figure out is the ending (I know how it will end, but I need to figure out how to get all the players lined up for the ending) and then I can write up my outline and get the proposal underway. Now to find a proper title for this book. I know what I want to call it, but LKH pretty much owns that one already. Alternate suggestions welcome!

In other news, my brilliant editor was interviewed over at DearAuthor.com as part of their ongoing series on romance editors. She even mentions me--twice, if you look carefully. ;-)

i broke my email . . .

The email, she is kaput. I don't know what happened, but Thursday night my email just stopped working. Nothing in, nothing out. Just refused to do anything except spit out errors and freeze Outlook. My in-home geek squad is working on the problem, which involved rebuilding my saved mail folders and inbox (this, apparently, is not fun). He says I'll be back in business today, but if you emailed me between Thursday and this weekend, you may want to resend.

Totally Off Topic:

We watched a very stupid "movie" last night called What The Bleep Do We Know? It's billed as a movie/documentary but it's actually a 2+ hour infomercial for "Ramtha" who, come to find out, produced and "starred" in it as one of the "experts" on quantum theory (and who would like you to come to her camp in Washington to become one of Ramtha's followers). Only a few minutes into the so-called quantum theory part of the film, John and I were rolling our eyes and saying, WTF is this crap? Then we paused to google and discovered the whole Ramtha connection, which was never stated at any point in the movie, btw.

After attempting to impress and baffle you with scientific theories drawn out to the absurd--like our minds simply do not, cannot, see what they do not understand or do not have a prior basis of knowledge with which to understand. Example used in the film: the Native Americans had never seen a ship on the ocean so when Columbus sailed up to conquer them, they literally did not see him coming. They saw waves moving on the horizon--a disturbance on the water--but they did not see the gigantic ships (or even hear them, one must assume) because they had no basis to understand what they were seeing. Jay-sus. It's a wonder any of us can walk around this planet without smashing into all those invisible things out there. What utter nonsense!

Some of the spiritual enlightenment portion of this film near the end was interesting, and I found myself agreeing on several points, but the deceptive way the film makers steered the information toward its conclusion was infuriating. If you want to sell me a spiritual enlightenment retreat, just say so. Don't try to cloak your message in gee-whiz theories spouted by a bunch of science geeks who are most likely on your payroll.

Sorry to rant, but my bullshit meter is still in recovery mode after spiking off the charts last night!

book club sales . . .

Great news out of my publisher a couple of days ago: both KISS OF MIDNIGHT and KISS OF CRIMSON have been picked up by three major book clubs!

In May and June, the books will be Featured Alternate Selections at Doubleday Book Club, Rhapsody Romance Book Club, and the Science Fiction Book Club. It's my understanding that the clubs picked up KISS OF CRIMSON sight-unseen*, just based on the strength of MIDNIGHT. Wowza! I'm beyond thrilled, of course, and can't wait to see the special hardcover editions of the series!

* sight-unseen, because, you know, a certain author was busy making a mountain out of a mole hill in revisions and the ms wasn't available when all of this was going down

thursday thirteen #4 . . .

THURSDAY THIRTEEN

13 *More* Books I'm Looking Forward To in 2007

1. Secrets Vol. 18: Dark Passions erotic anthology (out now). This one is on the TBB list for Larissa Ione's entry alone. Something to tide me over while the wait drags on (and on!) for the first of her Sydney Croft novels later in the year.

2. The Sword: Sons of Destiny by Jean Johnson (Feb). In an interview at DearAuthor.com, editor Cindy Hwang called this (potentially 8-book?!) series "sexy, fabulous, and funny" and also mentioned great world-building. That said, I'm there!

3. Heart-Shaped Box by Joe Hill (Feb). Having grown up reading Stephen King, I'm more than willing to shell out the bucks for his son's hardcover debut. Even without the enviable storytelling genes to back him up, Hill's novel about an online purchase gone wrong (way wrong) sounds irresistible.

4. Atlantis Rising by Alyssa Day (Mar). The plot to break my budget in March continues with a seemingly never-ending offering of enticing books. This start of a new paranormal romance series looks interesting.

5. A Wicked Snow by Gregg Olsen (Mar). I first heard of Gregg Olsen via MySpace and his other blog, CrimeRant. Olsen is a true crime writer (one of my favorite guilty pleasure forms of reading--it's fascinating, often repulsive stuff, and God help me but I can't look away!) and this novel marks his entry into fiction. I have no idea what it's about, but I'm buying it. How's that for the power of online promotion?

6. Her Only Desire by Gaelen Foley (Apr). Admittedly, Gaelen is one of my best friends, but she's also a fantastic writer. I always look forward to her books and this one, the start of a new trilogy spun-off from her Knights Miscellany, is bound to be another scorcher.

7. Take Me Tonight by Roxanne St. Claire (Apr). I've only read part of the first Bullet Catcher book (not for lack of interest, just happens like that sometimes), but I liked what I read and I keep buying entries in this series because I know I'm going to want to have the entire collection.

8. One With The Night by Susan Squires (Apr). Susan Squires is another writer I keep on my watch list. I have almost all of her books, beginning with her debut, Danelaw, which I judged in an unpublished writer contest via RWA about an eon ago. Proud to say I recognized Susan's talent even then, which she has in spades. Plus she's one of the kindest people you'll ever meet.

9. Hunters: Heart and Soul by Shiloh Walker (Apr). I never read this author's Ellora's Cave books, but I picked up her debut with Signet Eclipse last year and enjoyed it. This new one is trade, which sucks (I always prefer mass market, both for price and the convenient size), but I will probably purchase it because I hate waiting for mm re-releases and I love the cover.

10. All About Evie by Beth Ciotta (May). One of my favorite bloggers, who's also a terrific writer with a fun, creatively diverse backlist, Beth makes her HQN debut with a romantic comedy featuring a struggling actress who pairs up with a former con man turned investigator in order to nab a grifter on a luxury cruise liner. Sounds fun already!

11. The Last Assassin by Barry Eisler (Jun). This is actually the paperback release of Eisler's latest hardcover novel. I've never read his stuff, but last year I clicked a link to a podcast recording of him reading a chapter from one of his novels and it totally hooked me. Then my ADD kicked in and I wandered off to another site, another podcast . . . and forgot I wanted to buy his book. Doh! Hate. That. But now the latest one is coming out in paperback, and I won't be deterred. And since I saved by not purchasing hardcover, I can also pick up the first book in the series, Rain Fall. (Girly P.S.: Eisler's got a great voice, and he's kinda cute, too.)

12. Your Mouth Drives Me Crazy by HelenKay Dimon (Jul). I am a frequent lurker at HelenKay's author blog and the one she co-writes, but I somehow missed her first novel. Remedied that a couple of weeks ago, and now I'm also looking forward to her new release from Kensington Brava. HelenKay very kindly outted me at her blog recently with a plug for my books. Stuff like that will land you on my auto-buy list every time. :)

13. This one isn't scheduled for release until TBA 2008, but since I'll be jonesing for it throughout most of 2007, it makes the list. Jordan Summers, another of my favorite bloggers, landed a three-book deal with TOR for an urban fantasy series that poses the question: What if Little Red Riding Hood and The Big Bad Wolf were the same person? The first title, aptly enough, is Red.

Ah . . . so many books, so little time!

new book euphoria . . .

Now that I've let go of KISS OF CRIMSON--or should I say, now that KOC has let go of me?--I am joyfully immersing myself in the New Book. It doesn't have a title yet, but it's #3 in the Midnight Breed series and features the Order's most tormented member, Tegan. To avoid a spoiler, I can't say who his heroine is yet, but while this book is a lot about Tegan, it's very much her book as well.

She's been haunting my imagination ever since she walked onto the page because she's so full of pain and fear. But she's courageous, too, something she's only beginning to realize for herself. Unfortunately, her coping methods for dealing with her own pain are destroying her. I'm not totally sure how I'm going to make two damaged, hurting characters come together and win a happy future, but I know the journey there is going to be dark and passionate!

Since I've begun plotting Number Three, this Evanescence video has been getting a lot of play on my iPod. My brand new *video* iPod, which the hubby bought me for xmas to make up for his leaving my mini on the plane when we came back from Mexico! Don't you just love make-up pressies? :)

This song is fitting for a lot of reasons, including the video's stark winter setting, which is the basic backdrop for the new book. A city blanketed in pale white snow, bare branches, little color . . . slumbering life buried under so much frozen landscape. I think it makes a nice mirror for my characters' emotional states. God, I'm so into this book right now--I love the euphoria of beginning a new novel*!

* Yes, I know that middle-of-the-book depression and misery lurk right around the corner, but today it's all good!

joy of reading #1: surviving demon island

Although I'm not a book reviewer, and I don't get paid to recommend books, I do love reading and talking about reading. So, since there's a good chance I'll make this "joy of reading" a semi-regular feature on my blog, I've given this entry a number. Here's a peek at what I've enjoyed recently:

Surviving Demon Island
by Jaci Burton
Dell Books

I introduced myself to Jaci last summer by shamelessly begging an ARC of her debut title with Bantam Dell. I'd heard about her sale through one of the industry lists (Publishers Lunch?) and when I read the premise of Surviving Demon Island I got one of those instant "Oh, hell yeah!" feelings that authors (and readers, no doubt) tend to get when they see an idea that just *must* become a book. I mean, who can resist the premise of LOST meets SURVIVOR . . . with demons!

Surviving Demon Island opens fast and holds you tight. It's crisp, wry, and fun. That would have been enough to keep me turning pages, but Jaci also mixes in a fabulously strong (but not abrasive) heroine in Gina Bliss and a sexy, seen-and-done-it-all hero in Derek Marks. There is a host of interesting secondary characters, some tense action scenes, and a wrenching loss of one of the team members that serves to remind you just what the good guys are up against. But amid all of this story texture, Jaci never loses focus on the romance and the building sexual tension between her two protagonists. The love scenes are hot, and the ending leaves the door wide open for the sequel, which I for one, cannot wait to get my hands on. (Seriously, Jaci. ARC? Please?)

Favorite line from Surviving Demon Island: It's more than one line actually, and although it comes at the close of the book, I don't think it really spoils anything to include it here. For me, this passage summed up the story perfectly, and left me smiling and ready for more.

Turned out part of her really was Gina Bliss. Maybe the scared little girl from all those years ago was finally gone. She'd definitely proved she could fight creatures from the depths of hell and live through it, could face death and darkness and not cower or run in fear.

She'd even faced love, and the possibility of losing love, and come through it unscathed. She'd found someone to love her back despite all her faults.

If she could do that, she could do anything.

Bring on the demons.

You can read an excerpt of the book at Jaci's website, and find links for purchasing online. Watch for Hunting The Demon next fall! Congrats to Jaci on a fabulous mass market debut.

Have you already read Surviving Demon Island? Tell me what you think!

catching up . . .

I'm happy to report that the revisions for KISS OF CRIMSON are several days out of my hair, and now that monkey belongs to my editor. Hopefully it all still makes sense and doesn't suck. There's a lot I like about KOC, but, as with any book, there's a lot I would like to improve if only I could have another week, month, year . . . infinity. I'm sure I would polish a book from now till Armageddon if my publisher would let me. Nothing's ever *really* done in my mind.

Which leads me to the next topic: 5 Crazy Things About Me. Jaci tagged me today--on a weekend, no less!--so I feel compelled to play along. Not to mention this is my virgin tagging. ::blush::

Crazy Thing #1. I cannot STAND broken spines on paperback books. If you looked at my bookshelves, you'd have no idea which ones were brand new, fresh from the store, or already read. I love a crisp, intact spine. Even though I will occasionally buy a used paperback, I prefer that "new book" feel. I've even trained my husband to read without creasing spines, and he was one of the worst offenders I'd ever known.

Crazy Thing #2. Also book related. Nine times out of ten, I will read the end of a book (at least a chapter, maybe more) before I begin reading for real. This habit started when I was first trying to learn about writing. I felt it far more helpful to know the final outcome of a story so I could see the author's hints and red herrings along the way. Now it's a compulsion I have no hope of breaking.

Crazy Thing #3. My house, and my office in particular, may be disorganized (okay, cluttered!) at times, but my car is always immaculate--no junk or food on the floors or the seat. The hub is the same way. In fact, we generally lease our vehicles for 3 years at a time and always get "Wow, this car still smells new!" type of remarks from the dealers. Messy cars kind of gross me out.

Crazy Thing #4. I won't spend money on department store or designer makeup, but I love expensive perfume, which I don't get much chance to wear, since neither the cat or the UPS man would give a rat's. Let's face it, it's a good day if I shower and get out of PJs.

Crazy Thing #5. I don't like flowers, and I'm not very wild about jewelry, either. Diamonds, yes. Costume? Nope, I'd rather wear nothing. (Caveat: Debbie if you're reading this, I really do love the beaded choker you got me for my bday--swear!) As far as gifts go, I'd much rather have books, electronics, or nice dinners out.

Wow. I thought it would be hard to name five whole things, but I've actually got a bunch more! I'll spare you all my continued neuroses and share the Crazy love instead. I'm tagging May, Beth Ciotta, and Meljean Brook.
