Sounds intriguing.<br /><br />Bianca - I went to your site as well. I'm sure you do have your own personal angel to guide you in other ways now. Lab geek, martial arts, and writer? I guess one way to do your research is by experience!<br /><br />Jennifer - What A cute puppy! I bought Blood Magic and Soul Magic. Now I need to get on the stick and read them! The series does sound great.<br /><br />Michelle<br />Booknook1966@yahoo.comMichellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13027497493803052851noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2799451507801345644.post-40643241795401857162010-09-02T21:41:25.566-04:002010-09-02T21:41:25.566-04:00Hi everyone! I think I'm the last one to arriv...Hi everyone! I think I'm the last one to arrive for the party :-) But I can thrilled to be in the anthology with Erin and Bianca!<br /><br />Generally, the publisher does pick the author and the overall concept for the anthology. In my case, I haven't written about wizards yet, so I thought that would be fun. Then I got mean: I made him powerful ONCE but now he must hide his fried powers from the entire town. <br />Then I pair him up with a magic-blind woman who is so desperate to find her grandmother, she blackmails the wizard. <br /><br />Of course their is instant chemistry between them, but they have to overcome secrets and old beliefs to have any chance at love.<br /><br />I do a fair amount of research. For instance, the magical properties of gemstones. I'd say I probably end up using about a quarter of the research I do.<br /><br />Writing this novella was a fun break from my ongoing series about witches and witch hunters fighting a dark and deadly curse. BLOOD MAGIC and SOUL MAGIC came out last year, and two more books in the series, NIGHT MAGIC AND SINFUL MAGIC are coming out in April and June of next year from Ballantine.<br /><br />Hope you all find some magic in books!Jennifer Lyonhttp://www.jenniferlyonbooks.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2799451507801345644.post-17943923901940140102010-09-02T21:17:31.395-04:002010-09-02T21:17:31.395-04:00Congrats on the book realease.

Like Er...Thanks for the welcome and the kind words. Like Erin, I'm really excited to be included in such a great anthology!<br /><br />To answer some of your questions - my story is set in middle Tennessee. Luckily, I didn't have to do too much research on the area, since I've traveled there in recent years.<br /><br />This story is related to my current series of zombie stories. The romance is hot. The villains are gross. ;-) Scary too, of course, though I wouldn't really call it "horror".<br /><br />In this particular case, my editor was the one who wanted a zombie story. She had read some of my other paranormal work (I write several series for Samhain Publishing) and wanted a series of zombie tales. That eventually evovled into my debut Brava novel, ONCE BITTEN, TWICE DEAD, which came out in March, and two others that will be out soon. (A DARKER SHADE OF DEAD in November and DEAD ALERT in 2011.)<br /><br />The heroes in these books are all Special Ops warriors and the heroines are special in their own way. Donna, the heroine in my story in THE BEAST WITHIN, is a newly graduated chemical engineer. Because I started my own working career as a biochemist, it wasn't too hard for me to write her. ;-)<br /><br />Well, I've rambled a bit. Thanks for indulging me. If there are any other questions, just holler! :) And thanks for featuring the book and all the kind words.<br /><br />Bianca D'Arc<br />Come over to The D'Arc Side... www.biancadarc.comBianca D'Archttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06183857072276977791noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2799451507801345644.post-74235479997807207322010-09-02T19:10:45.586-04:002010-09-02T19:10:45.586-04:00Thanks, everyone!!

I'm excited to be in an anthology with two fabulous authors like Bianca and Jennifer. :)<br /><br />As for how anthologies come together... sometimes the publisher creates the concept and picks authors. Sometimes an author is given a generic concept like "paranormal" and has freedome to do whatever, sometimes authors work together to create a concept. In this case, the choice of what kind of paranormal story was ours.<br /><br />My story is unrelated to any other books of mine... this is actually my first werewolf! Hope you all enjoy it. :) Oh, and I did do a lot of werewolf research, but given the story is only 100 pages, I'm not sure how much of that wound up in the final product. Mostly just the moon and the primal drive of the male werewolf... the sexy stuff! lol.Erin McCarthyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11914817304686495934noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2799451507801345644.post-51315055405888778042010-09-02T19:07:01.212-04:002010-09-02T19:07:01.212-04:00I have been looking forward to this release.
