Bat bitches unite! For those who didn't see it over on Title Magic, here's the cover for "Belonging." Gay vampires, male prostitution, hot guy-on-guy action, slayers loose in the streets, references to "The Wizard of Oz" -- this one's got it all. I'm working on the final edits now. I have to work fast because I've been told the release date is Monday, February 7. That's what I love about e-publishing, the quick turnaround. No waiting for two years to see your book on the market.
I was also told there'd be a print version later in the year. I'm not complaining, but I am wondering because I thought the minimum word count for print was 60,000. "Belonging" clocked in at a little over 53K. Same for "Love on the Wild Side." Both stories together don't equal 60K words. This is good news of a sort, because it means we don't have to bloat up our anthology stories in order to make print. If we all end up with stories of only 10-15,000 words, we'll still be okay.
Our first storm dumped about 3-4 inches on us, then we had a break of a couple of hours, then Part 2 came along and delivered another 6-8 inches overnight. I just got finished excavating my car. Living in the northeast isn't fun this year.
Excerpts and a possible new blog to follow around release day. Since that's a Monday, which is my post day, it'll probably mean a blog. Now, who in the cast reads vampire romances, Maggie or Lamar?

Pat, excitement is racing my blood. Congrats, on your next release!
I say Maggie would be diving into this read while popping bonbons and some blood wine.
Congrats on the upcoming release, Pat! Love that cover!
