How Awesome Is This?

Publishers Weekly did a review for Hungry For Your Love: An Anthology of Zombie Romance, which is incredible.  But even more exciting?  They mentioned my contribution to the anthology!

Hungry for Your Love

Edited by Lori Perkins, St. Martin's Griffin, $14.99 paper (384p)
ISBN 978-0-312-65079-7

Perkins (Cowboy Lover) collects 21 zombie romance stories full of humor, horror, and love. Jaime Saare's "I Heart Brains" has an SF twist: a man infected with "the z-virus" shopping in a megamart for a gently used replacement body. In Jan Kozlowski's powerful "First Love Never Dies," a police detective learns of an undead sex slave operation run by his ex's abusive father. In Regina Riley's poignant "Undying Love," a long-suffering zombie seeks his lost lover. Gina McQueen's "Apocalypse as Foreplay," Jeanine McAdam's "Inhuman Resources," and Dana Fredsti's "First Date" are zippy stories about the sexy turn-on of successful zombie hunting. Stacy Brown's "The Magician's Apprentice" offers chills as a woman willingly gives up every bit of herself to please a man. Michael Marshall Smith's "Later" makes one man's heartbreak palpable when his girlfriend has a fatal accident. Voodoo magic, zombie-creating viruses, and inexplicable zombie apocalypses all make appearances, but effective storytelling moves beyond the reanimation and into the hearts and minds of the characters.

You can pick up your own copy on September 28th at your closest book retailer.  Or you can pre-order now on Amazon.com and Barnes and Noble.   Just in time for Halloween!

New Hungry For Your Love Cover

Well here it is, the cover for the upcoming St. Martin's Press release of Hungry For Your Love.  My short story I Heart Brains is included in this anthology and I'm very excited as this will be the first book I'm featured in that will hit the bookshelves. It's being timed for release near Halloween (September 28th), with pre-orders available on Amazon.com and Books-A-Million.

As for the writing front, I continue working on Omega Mine but am hopeful that there is an end in sight.  After that it's onto The Renfield Syndrome, The Company of Wolves, and Dark Hunger on a Killing Moon.  So many stories, so little time at the PC.

Crimson Moon releases in two days.  I'm still in shock to be honest. I hope everyone enjoys reading the story as much as I did writing it.

OH! And by the way...

When I fiddled with my blog, I accidentally deleted my favorite blog links on the sidebar so I can't see when you all post! I'm going to try and fix that today if the children allow.  That's why I've not visited.  I'm sorry!

Alright, I'm off to kid wrangle.  Have a happy hump day!

I Heart Brains Review

Just when you're ready to cave, something good happens. Hungry For Your Love and A Kiss Before Dying have been been reviewed at Night Owl Romance. Hungry For Your Love got an awesome 4.5/5 hearts, while A Kiss Before Dying got 5/5!

This is what they said about I Heart Brains...

This was a quick, amusing and oddly romantic story. Woman loses her loser husband and donates the body. Guy dies and goes in search of a new body. Fate, destiny, whatever you want to call it collides to give them both a second chance at a better life.

I said if anything, it would be good for a laugh. *chuckles*. Thanks Lexile, for taking the time to review the book!

Back to the writing cave. Here's hoping I'm inspired to get off my arse!!
