Lover Eternal

I'm finally taking a break after revisions and between doctors appointments and catching up on my TBR pile. Oh, Wow! I just finished Lover Eternal, by J.R. Ward. All I can say is this is a great book, as was Dark Lover (which I think I read 4 times before the release of Lover Eternal). The wait until September for Zsadist's story will kill me!

Other books in my TBR pile include the new one by Susan Johnson, which I can't remember the title of, and a few suspense novels, which I can't remember the titles of either. I'm lousy with titles.

However, summer television looks promising. The new seasons of Startgate SG-1 and Stargate Atlantis start in July, the new season of The Dead Zone started Sunday (and was excellent), and I'm catching up on the Dr. Who episodes I missed while traveling. Those Sc-Fi marathons are great, and I plan on vegging out in front of the television tonight for some much needed R&R.

38 days until the release of Lord Night!! This is my favorite story -- so far. I'm not going to say it's like my fav authors, (Sherrilyn Kenyon, J.R. Ward, Christine Feehan), but it does have the same dark feel. No vamps, though, and very hot!

The Key still has a week and half left for voting. Please visit my site, read the first installment, and vote as to what our heroine should do next. http://www.jessieverino.com/thekey.html

Samhain is celebrating its readers the week of July 10th through 16th at the Samhain Cafe.

Peace,

My New Cover!!!

I'm so excited about my new cover!  Scott Carpenter did a great job and captured the tone of the story perfectly!  Lord Night will be available August 1st from Samhain Publishing.  In other news, I spent a wonderful weekend in Cincinatti at Lori Foster's and Diane Castell's Readers and Writers Get Together and had a total blast!  Diane and Lori and gracious and energetic hosts, and I met so many wonderful people, and got to catch up with some old friends.  I can't wait until next year. 

I've finally updated my website.  The Key, my serialized fiction is now live at www.jessieverino.com/thekey.html.  If you get a chance, go by and check it out, and if you're feeling adventurous, be sure to go to the blog and create your own installment (complete with choices for our heroine to make).  I hope to have some guest authors showing up soon to help our heroine on her journey.

I hope everyone has a safe and fun week!



Peace,
Jessie
