Release Day!

I'm thrilled to announce the release of the print edition of Cinematic Royalty! This special edition is a double novella including an all new story that also takes place at the luxurious Winmont Hotel.

Dark Hollywood Nights, is a fun murder mystery, with cooky new characters and cameos by a few familiar faces.

Blurb:

A hair's breath away... Alexis Grant's only job is to keep the prestigious Winmont Hotel running smoothly while her cousin, Charles Witmore, enjoys his honeymoon. The only problem: things begin to fall apart the moment he leaves. The pompous Chase Branton, who's determined to get access to one of her off limits celebrity clients, doesn't help.

Can she keep it together long enough to earn a managerial position of her own, or will a high profile death cause all of her dreams to shatter?

Ahoy there!

Looking for a quick read? Well then, you've come to the right place. I come bearing a free gift. Membra Disjecta: Scattered Things, is an electronic journal that explores and celebrates electronic art, books, authors, and genres. It is published quarterly and sponsored by Drollerie Press- (who received a lovely shotout on my links page due to their amazingness).

I'm proud to say I am part of their second issue. They published my story, Siren Song, as part of their transformations theme. The basis of the story comes from the mythological waterhorse known as the Kelpie. It's dark and sexy, as any good shifter story should be. (ha, ha) Interest peaked? Good.

From their Contents Page:

Isabelle Santiago's story is a sensual whirlwind, as is only proper when you're talking about the siren's song.

Hello readers and authors alike!

Since the release of Cinematic Royalty, I have been incredibly busy writing a companion piece for the print edition, thus far scheduled to be released late February / early March.

Writing on this deadline proved to be a test of endurance, but I'm proud to say I managed to kick off a fun story. Think Moonlighting a la 1950s. Light hearted murder mystery with some good old fashioned romance thrown in. There are two new characters and of course your old favorites make some interesting cameos. :) I hope to get into the editing phase very soon. In the meantime, I've gone back to working on my fantasy series.

I've done some inhouse cleaning. Added a review page. Put up an excerpt of Cinematic. And gave you little blurbs of my upcoming projects. I've been a busy bee but I most certainly haven't forgotten you all. Visit me at the blog to see what I'm up to!

Release Day! Can you believe it? Cinematic Royalty has arrived! Celebrate with me, will you?

Step into a world of glamour and fame where American youths are still raw from the war, music takes an edgier turn, and movie stars are practically royalty.

Charles Witmore is used to celebrities. As owner of the grand Winmont Hotel in Los Angeles, he has seen them come and go more times than he can count. But the experience is altogether different when silver screen starlet Bridget Phillips walks into his life and crashes into his heart. He's absolutely starstruck. Her beauty is exactly as majestic as has been rumored, but he wonders about the many claims laid against the woman, who seems to be so shrouded in mystery.

Initially claimed by prejudice, he sees nothing more than the ice princess she presents, beautiful and stone cold. But, the more time she spends at his hotel, the more he begins to see there is more to her facade than meets the eye. Soon, she becomes the object of his affection, and in an amusing ploy, his two best friends, Betty and Eleanor, and his cute assistant Tessa, set up the matchmaking scheme of a lifetime.

But will Bridget’s dark secret keep Charles from his happily ever after?
