Tell us a little about your story.
Raine says: Fairy Kisses & Magical Dreams is my foray into the world of Fairies and humans. I love Fairies and think they are magical beings that deliver countless hours of fun and excitement. Add in a Fae Prince searching for his mate , a meddling mother and a cynical woman just about to give up on finding her own love….well you got the makings for Fairy Kisses and Magical Dreams.
Fairy Kisses & Magical Dreams introduces the readers’ to Skye Andrews. A woman who has searched for love, never finding it and is just about to give up ever having that Happily ever after when her aunt decides to aid her in her one last shot at love with a magic potion. Fae Prince Aryan has three weeks to find his mate or else he will have an arranged marriage from his mother, the Queen of all fairies. When he is directed by fate to the human world, he finds Skye utterly delectable. Can a human and Fae live in harmony in both worlds? Will Skye finally get her Happily Ever After? You will have to check it out to see if these two people find a love worth fighting for.
What is it you relate to most with your heroine or hero? What do you like about them most?
Raine says: I think Skye has a little bit of my attitude several years ago. She has given up on finding the “perfect man”, if there is ever such a one. Skye finds herself lost, watching her friends and family find their loves and she is saddened that she can never find that love of her own. A bit cynical, she is alittle bit like I was a few years ago before i met my honey of three years and found the “perfect” man for me. She is strong, Vulnerable yet willing to try just one more thing to get the love she longs for.
How did you get started in writing?
Raine Says: I am an avid reader and I read one book not long ago that just had me throwing up my hands, screaming I can do better, that I let the door in my imagination open and I found a place that had characters, stories and HEA’s waiting for me to tell people.
What’s your schedule like, and what do you enjoy doing in your time off?
Raine says: I write while kids are inschool during the day. I prefer to be off the computer at night unless I am scheduled for a chat or other commitments. On my time off, which I try to do on the weekends to recharge and spend time with family, I l ike to read for pleasure, watch movies, play video games and take walks with the kids and honey if the weather is nice.

Sneak peek into Fairy Kisses & Magical Dreams:
Skye sat with her hands fisted in her shirttails so she wouldn’t throttle her well-meaning yet clueless Aunt Mary. The smoking cauldron on the stove erupted into another hiss, and the smell made her stomach curdle.
Aunt Mary muttered to herself as she gathered the necessary ingredients for the love spell from various places in the ancient farmhouse.
Skye tried not to cringe when her aunt walked too close to a knife sitting on the edge of the table. Clearing her throat, Skye mustered enough courage to ask, “Is this thing supposed to turn black and smell like rotten eggs?â€
â€Oh my, yes dearie.†Aunt Mary said as she bustled around the kitchen.
Skye blew out a deep breath and tried to keep calm as she watched her aunt stir something that looked suspiciously like toad legs in the cauldron. Yuck. I swear, some days it’s almost too much to bear, with Mary’s new found interest in new age-isms and spells that do everything but what they’re supposed to. Skye looked at the clock and sighed, knowing she wasn’t going to get on the road back to Dayton any sooner than when her aunt deemed worthy.
Skye tried not to sound dejected but after her disastrous Valentine date where her date just talked and talked about his life and career; she felt like she was going nowhere fast. Her friends found their own true loves, got married and had their own happily ever after. Where was hers? Her aunt was determined to get the sparkle back in her eyes, or so she said the first night she visited Topeka . It was enough to make Skye cringe in horror but she couldn’t say anything mean to the one person who loved her more than anything. Flipping her hair off her face, she breathed a sigh of relief as she watched her aunt finish whatever she was doing to the brew until Mary turned around with a cup of the foul smelling stuff.
“Here you go dear. All finished and ready to be drunk by you! All you need to do is say three times: ` I wish for my true love to find me΄ and then within seven days, according to the spell book I got from a used book store, your true love will find you and steal your heart away.†Aunt Mary gazed fondly at Skye, who tried to look happy but couldn’t conceal the sadness in her eyes.
She took the cup and peered at it grimacing with distaste. It was blackish-blue in color, with something that looked like lightening bugs flashing in it. For a moment, Skye watched the kaleidoscope of colors; it was enough to make her cross eyed. Skye tried to shield her expression from Mary though if she was honest with herself, she was willing to try anything to get her happily ever after, even drink a foul looking potion to get what she desired.

Seventh Circle by F E Heaton – vampire romance ebook – new release!
Out Now! New vampire romance ebook by F E Heaton…
Seventh Circle
Dark, sensual and fast-paced, Seventh Circle is a story of forbidden love so strong that it will save the world.
Born with strange powers similar to a vampire’s, Lilith has spent her life hunting demons for Section Seven. Now, on the very same night that she watches a vampire kill her best friend, she’s faced with her worse nightmare.
A client who is not only attractive, but a vampire.
Lincoln, a powerful pure blood vampire, has a problem. The prophecy he’s caught up in is coming to pass and his only chance of survival is relying on those he hates most—vampire hunters. It has been foretold that one will save him, a female hunter, and when he meets her, the attraction he feels is both instantaneous and forbidden.
Their mutual attraction becomes difficult to deny as they work to unravel the mystery of a contract between Lincoln’s lord and the Devil. The barriers around their hearts fall, but is there only pain ahead of them? With Lincoln’s life on the line, can Lilith find the strength to protect him and embrace a side of herself that she wished didn’t exist? Can Lincoln overcome his fear in order to save Lilith even if it means parting from her forever? What price will they pay to be together?

New Cover – Embracing the Wolf
I have a shiny new cover to show off.

Embracing the Wolf is a new paranormal romance short that I have coming out on November 30th with Alinar Publishing. It’s a winter story, so perfect to snuggle up with on a cold night. Here’s a brief overview of the story…
Kat, a hunter with the Werewolf Control Forces fled her lover, Amon, the alpha werewolf of a pack, when he told her that she too had werewolf blood in her and would one day mature into a werewolf like him.
Four years on and Kat has now matured. Each night she fights the ‘beast’ inside her and her desire to return to Amon. She hunts rogue werewolves with a vengeance, hating her kind and her blood, gaining satisfaction from eradicating those that have surrender to darkness and violence.
When Amon’s pack finally catches up with her and she’s told by his beta wolf, Leyton, that Amon is dangerously close to turning rogue, she has to make a hard decision–accept her true nature and mate with Amon, or let him turn rogue and kill him.
Like it??

Ascension and Arcadian
Many thanks to everyone who kindly read my story codenamed Ascension and gave me feedback on it. Most of you seemed to feel the same about the story as I did – there’s more to it and it deserves to be a novel. Well, because of this feedback, I have decided to turn the short story into a full novel and I’ll be working on writing that next year, along with another story.
The other story is currently codenamed Arcadian. This will be a long paranormal romance that in my mind will be pushing the 100k words mark. Normally my built in length predictor is pretty on the nose. There’s a lot of story in this one, so it may even go over, but it will end up being edited down to 100k if that is the case.
I don’t really want to say much about either story at this point, only that I’ll be working on them in 2009, and that they’re both paranormal romances with a lot of plot. I’ll be writing Arcadian first, and then following that up with Ascension. I have another story or two that I’ll consider writing at the same time as these, but my focus will be on them first and foremost.
As for the future of both these stories, if they turn out as planned then I will submit them to agents and publishers.
Back to work for me. Seventh Circle, the next Vampires Realm novel, is out on November 16th, and I still have a lot of promotion work and stuff to get ready for it.
Happy Halloween everyone!

New Release – A Promise of Passion by Felicity Heaton
Out Now! New paranormal romance ebook by Felicity Heaton…
A Promise of Passion
A dark, sensual and action packed story of two hearts, united in their passion and desire, but divided by their blood, A Promise of Passion is guaranteed to get your heart racing.
Alicia is a vampire hunter, unable to find a man strong enough to love and accept her for who she is. When Kassian, a tall and seductively handsome vampire walks into her life and vows to protect her, she doesn’t know what to think or feel. His eyes make promises that his searing touch backs up, but she can’t get past the fact that he’s a vampire and the fact that he thinks she’s someone else.
Kassian is certain from the moment he sets eyes on Alicia that she’s the reincarnation of his lost love and sire, and he’ll stop at nothing to convince her and make her his again. A taste of her blood makes him realise his mistake but doesn’t change his feelings or his resolve to have her.
Their mutual attraction is impossible to resist but a moment of passion places Alicia in the path of danger when Seth, the vampire responsible for murdering Kassian’s sire, sets his sights on her. When Alicia is dragged into a game of human sport, how far will Kassian go to protect his love? Can he save her or will history repeat itself?

New stories, and finished stories, and submissions
I’ve been quite busy recently, working through a mixture of writing, editing, and preparing submissions. It’s all a mixture of projects too, most of which will be available next year. Actually, all of it will probably be next year’s releases.
On the writing front, I have finished writing the next Vampires Realm release after Seventh Circle, which will be Winter’s Kiss. Winter’s Kiss follows a Watchman of Validus and a young woman whom he desired to turn. The young woman is attacked by a werewolf and the vampire rescues her but not before she’s been bitten by the werewolf, and essentially turned. It all turns a little frantic after that and there’s lots of my trademark UST 🙂
Speaking of Vampires Realm, I again toyed with the idea of submitting Seventh Circle to agents and publishers, and have (after a lot of preparation including writing a synopsis!) decided against it. It’s so difficult when it’s a story that is part of an ongoing series. I could have changed the story so it was a stand alone, but I didn’t want to do that. When it comes to stories to submit to publishers, I’ll focus on my series I’ll be writing next year instead.
Following the popularity and success of my Sons of Lyra series, I have planned and started writing a Daughters of Lyra series. At the moment, they’re running at a little longer than the Sons of Lyra stories. I think they’ll be an average of 18,000 words. The series follows one daughter from each of the four sons from the first series. I’ve already written two of the stories during my week off dog-sitting last week. I managed to clock in around 34,000 words written which is brilliant. A normal week for me is around 25,000.
The weekend I released Sons of Lyra: Stranded I submitted a second story to Harlequin’s Nocturne Bites series. This time it’s a werewolf story and I’m far more pleased with this submission than the first one I sent. I think this time I sounded more professional and sold the story better, and I do think this story is probably more suited to the line.
I think that’s about all in terms of writing from me. I’ve just discovered that there’s a new episode of Macross Frontier out online and I neeeed to watch it. I’m so addicted!
Here’s some tallys on the stories I finished this week…

New Release – Sons of Lyra: Stranded – Sci-fi romance ebook
Out Now! New sci-fi romance ebook by Felicity Heaton…
Sons of Lyra: Stranded
Captain Lyra III is known for his vicious attitude and brilliance in battle. Second youngest of the infamously passionate and handsome sons of Lyra, he’s a born leader and doesn’t take no for an answer. Except this time. Acer is facing a future that seems like a nightmare, a future that has shaken him and made him realise that the one thing he truly wanted in life may have just slipped through his grasp—his engineer, Stella.
Stella fell for Acer the moment she was transferred to his ship by his brother, Captain Lyra II. A year on his ship and never being noticed by him unless she’s done something wrong, she’s come to accept that she won’t be the one to tame this prince’s passionate heart, but it doesn’t make her feelings disappear and doesn’t stop her dreaming that she might capture him yet.
Attacked en route to Lyra Prime they find themselves stranded alone in the middle of deep space and things reach boiling point when the climate control breaks down. Trapped with only each other for company, it’s not long before the truth comes out about their feelings for each other and Acer’s reason for returning to Lyra Prime.
When Stella discovers Acer is duty bound to marry a woman of Lyran aristocracy, she offers him a night to remember her by, but will it be enough or will it cause them more pain than pleasure? Returning to Lyra Prime, will Stella’s heart falter or will she rise to the challenge and fight for Acer? Will Acer be able to find the strength to forsake his family in the name of true love?

sick and busy
Well it’s one illness on top of another right now but I’m not going to let it slow me down! I currently have an ear infection (for two weeks now I’ve been practically deaf in one ear. very annoying) and now I have a cold too, which is make me doubly grouchy!
It didn’t stop me from writing last week though. I finally found my flow with Winter’s Kiss, the next Vampires Realm novel after Seventh Circle, and was writing at every available opportunity last week. Those opportunities included grabbing 30 minutes in starbucks each morning before work and snagging the odd 40 minutes after work in starbucks too. It’s costing me a lot in starbucks right now! The up side to this was that I wrote over 31000 words this week, which makes me smile, and means that I now have around 20000 words to write before this story is finished.
Once I’ve finished writing the first draft of Winter’s Kiss, I’ll move on to writing Arcadian, which is my next free serial and needs a proper title.
I’ve recently finished writing a third attempt at a Nocturne Bite. I’m much happier with this one, but I’m still not holding my breath since I don’t think I write the Harlequin style. I also have my second attempt to send off to them but just haven’t had the time to finish writing up my submission and preparing the manuscript to send over to them. I’ll hopefully manage to do that next weekend and send it off. By the time I hear back, I’ll have the third one ready to send in. I think I’m done after that as I just don’t have time to write anymore. I need to focus on the stories I’ll be releasing next year, which will provide me cover while I write my new series.
I have a few stories to write for next year. Winter’s Kiss will be an early 2009 release. I have another mini-series of short stories to write too and potentially another Vampires Realm novel. Of Blood & Snow will be edited and released in 2009.
That’s me for now…
