Act 5 of Master of the Opera, A Haunting Duet is out today!
In celebration, I’m over at the Contemporary Romance Cafe, talking about breaking the rules by retelling a classic tale with a new twist.
I’m also at the Here Be Magic blog, discussing magical realism and how anyone knows what is really real.

Want some GOOD news from the SFWA front? Really, there are so many amazing, talented members of the organization and I’m honored to be part of it. Several of us have put books on sale this week. A great opportunity to check out some excellent writing! See more here.

WHEW!
You know, we call it Release Day, when our books hit the market, but it’s more like Release Marathon. My mom has a friend who says “the birthday isn’t over until all the gifts are in.” That’s a bit how this feels. Yesterday was like my birthday, with all of the congratulations on the release of Rogue’s Possession, and now there’s more today and for the foreseeable future.
You guys are so great!
So, there’s all sorts of things going on.
My fabuloso buddy, Darynda Jones, also has a release today, making us Release Day Twins. Thus, we’re doing a Trivia Showdown over on Facebook. It’s pretty damn funny, I think. See, I asked her five questions and she gave me her answers. I posted them as multiple choice, filling in the other options myself. Maybe it’s diabolical of me, but I get pretty tickled when people choose my red-herring answers. Today she’ll ask ME five questions. Top prize is a $50 gift card to Wolferman’s Bakery, for the sheer numminess. Book giveaways are naturally also part of the deal!
I’m also over at Here Be Magic today, with an excerpt from Rogue’s Possession, just for fun – and wishing sister Word Whore, Veronica Scott a very Happy Birthday!
There’s a couple of giveaways in progress also. Hie on over to Pearls Cast Before a McPig or, if you want to read a chat between Rogue and Gwynn (who doesn’t, right??) you can visit So Many Reads.
See what I mean?
Send baked goods!

Several fun things going on today.
If you dash over to the Here Be Magic blog, you can participate in our first ever Win-A-Book Wednesday, and possibly win a free book from me! This will be a regular weekly feature from us – I just happen to be first.
I’m thrilled to see Rogue’s Possession listed by The Bookpushers as an October Must Have. I’m particularly thrilled by the company – Lauren Dane, Mercedes Lackey, Meljean Brook and Nalini Singh, among others!
Finally, Total Eclipse Reviews interviewed Rogue today, with more or less success.

I’m over at Here Be Magic this morning, talking about internal conflicts over writing “genre” fiction vs. “literary” stuff.
Also, the lovely Amy Remus at the So Many Reads blog is doing a cover reveal of Five Golden Rings, the newest Facets of Passion installment! Hie on over and take a look – full of sexy fun!
//
I’m over at Here Be Magic today and all weekend, talking about disabled heroines (can you think of any?) and doing a Happy Birthday to Me Giveaway! So hie on over, should you be so inclined!

Thus I have my Pimping Party Prom dress on and am shamelessly cross-posting this at the Word Whores blog as well.
And, to complete the pimpage, here are a couple of reviews posted to today for it here and here. One is also in French, should you care to stretch those neurons you haven’t used since high school.
I’m over at Word Whores and Here Be Magic today (same post, both places) talking about “Dialogue Tags: He Said, She Asked, They Exclaimed … when to use what.”

I’m over at the Here Be Magic blog today, giving my take on the “is it fantasy, fantasy romance or epic fantasy” debates. (Warning: my two cents are not very serious ones…)
