A few months ago, I had a doozy of a nightmare. You know, the sort that has you jerking awake with your heart pounding and your palms all sweaty. After a few seconds, I realised it was only a dream. Lord, the relief was indescribable! And in the strange way of dreams, I couldn’t quite recall what it was that was so utterly terrifying – except that it was me, changed in some hideous fashion into something entirely different.

This blog post isn’t about dream analysis, so let’s not worry about what that particular nightmare says about my twisted little self. But it did get me thinking as I lay there next to the oblivious, slumbering form of My Beloved.

(What this post is about, BTW, is giving away a signed copy of my new release, The Flame and the Shadow, to a random commenter. But more about that in a minute.)

I’m a real scaredy-cat. I don’t go to violent movies, let alone the splatter-fests. I even find Stephen King difficult to read because he has such magnificently horrible ideas and they won’t vacate my head after the last page. But after my nightmare, I did find the idea of an evil me far more terrifying than a platoon of Freddy Kruegers. Imagine looking in the mirror and seeing your demonic twin smile slowly back. Or worse, catching sight of her out of the corner of your eye. This is what the Germans call a doppelganger. To see your doppelganger means the worst of bad luck, and possibly even death. Ooo-errr… *shivers*

Okay, guys. Drew my name from my guest blog the other day. The winner is Shannon. Shannon commented:

To everybody, thanks for stopping by and I hope you check out The Missing.

Thanks to Dionne for having me crash her blog again.

I figure since blog-hopping can be considered working if I do some promo first, let me just say…

I have a new book due on 11/4/08, titled THE MISSING. It’s a paranormal romantic suspense, featuring a heroine with psychic abilities.

Da blurb…

From a bestselling author whose stories are “exhilarating [and] action-packed”* comes a sinfully sexy novel of romantic suspense about a woman whose psychic gift drives away the man she loves—and years later draws him back to her…

LOVE LOST

As a teenager, Taige Branch was able to do things with her psychic gift that others couldn’t understand—except for Cullen Morgan, the boy her stole her heart. He did his best to accept her abilities, until his mother was brutally murdered—and he couldn’t forgive Taige for not preventing her death.

PASSION FOUND

Now a widowed father, Cullen Morgan has never forgotten Taige. But what brings her back into his life is another tragic event. His beloved little girl has been kidnapped, and Taige is his only hope of finding her.

A LOVE THAT NEVER DIED

Working together against the clock, Cullen and Taige can’t help but wonder whether—if they find his daughter in time—it isn’t too late for the overpowering love that still burns between them…

Hey, guys, I know some of you might be wondering about where I’ve been… and I’m super-sorry to say that I’m gonna have to go on hiatus this quarter. I’ll be back sometime in December, since school is kicking my butt right now and frankly, time is not my friend at the moment (I really don’t want to half-ass any posts that I share with you guys). When I return, I promise I will have Daisy and Christian goodness IN FULL and available to you in PDF. Please don’t hate me.

Love,
Bam

P.S. Shuzluva and Ai! Grabe… will still be posting reviews… I think. *fingers crossed*

October 9, 2008

Hey guys, I know I was supposed to get you Chapter 12 today… I’m not even done with Chapter 11 yet. *sigh* Yes, I am the worst kind of jerk. But… here’s the thing: I’m back at school and the school work, it is killing me. Don’t worry, though, I’m working on Chasing Daisy little by little… you might have noticed (if you are refresh-crazy like Shuzluva) that I tend to add a paragraph here and there… will try to get some more done soon. I realize I’m the worst kind of tease at this point. I’m sorry, you guys. I’ll do better soon, I promise. Things will be great again. And maybe, just maybe, you can forgive me a little bit each day. ‘Cause baby, I can’t live withOUT you. How am I supposed to live without you? Now that I’ve been loving you so long… I love you so much… *sobs* JUST TELL ME YOU WON’T LEAVE ME!!!

This entirely original, exclusive, free-to-you story has been brought to you by… me! Play on, playaz…

Please read chapters one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, and ten if you haven’t already.

After five years, Daisy Sawyer has finally come home. Not that she’s too happy about it. She had a great life in LA: rubbing elbows with celebrities, hopping from one exclusive bar to the other, and best of all, she didn’t have to answer to anyone. But when a drunken night of partying lands her in jail, the only person she can count on is her estranged brother, Alec, the leader of a powerful were-leopard clan. Forced to choose between a prison sentence or face the life she abandoned years ago, Daisy returns… but she doesn’t have to like it…

Christian LeBeau owes Alec Sawyer his life. He will do anything for the man, even babysit his bratty baby sister. But Christian never imagined that Daisy could grow up to be so beautiful… and forbidden in more ways than one. His mind tells him she is the one woman he can never have, but his body refuses to listen. All he has to do is take care of Daisy until Alec finds her a proper were-leopard to marry, then Chris could wash his hands of her and get on with his life… but fate seems to have other plans.

And now, I present to you… Chasing Daisy…

Bam,

Thanks for the box ‘o books. I am diligently (or making the earnest attempt at) reading everything. Since I received the new box, I decided it was high time for me to get together reviews of the old box. Man, that was a lot of books. I laughed, I cried, some were better than Cats. And some definitely were not. I couldn’t imagine writing full reviews for all of these, and seriously applaud those who do, because it’s just too overwhelming for me. So instead, here’s Shuzluva’s Superfast Box Review!
