Six Sentence Sunday
I have made less progress in word count than I’d hoped this week, but second round edits are done and I’ve seen a draft for Eversworn’s cover. So not a bad week at all. 
“I fear you were right when you said I found you charming.” I sounded breathless.
His dark eyes didn’t as much as blink. His fingers didn’t as much as twitch. The only change was a slight curl of his lip. Knowing him as well as I did, I was unsurprised to see a hint of fang.

A Hint of Frost’s First Review!
When I wrote Frost, I knew it was different, very different. I worried every day, every page, but I had to write the book. So I have worried, and I do worry, how well it will be received. In any case, I am grateful those characters came to me, and I hope I do their stories justice.
I have read other stories written by Ms. Edwards, and one thing that stands out is that she is a great world builder. Her stories feature worlds that are new, definitely interesting and dangerous with characters, creatures and beings that are both horrifying and attractive.
A Hint of Frost is the first story in the new series Araneae Nation. From the beginning Ms. Edwards writing gets the reader caught up in the beauty and danger of the new world, what is happening to the characters and how they approach and solve problems and conflicts. There is excitement, danger and love as well as intrigue and political machinations and when you put it all together you have one great read!

First round Eversworn edits are done and a little birdie told me I might see the cover draft as early as next week. Wheee! Now if I could just get this book finished, I’d be in business.
His hand lowered, his lips hitched to one side, and I got the impression I had amused him.
Dangerous, that smile of his, for warming me when he said, “Be careful, little mouse. At the first sign of danger, scurry as far and as fast as you can. Don’t look back. Get yourself to safety.”
I nodded, knowing if the Theridiidae found us, I had no hope of outrunning their arrows.

Six Sentence Sunday
Well, I don’t know about y’all but I’m going to miss 2011. That year was mighty good to me. Here’s to 2012 and here’s hoping it’s a blessed year for us all. 
For weeks I haunted this warren beneath the frozen city of Erania. Who else could give these spirits respite when no one else knew of their existence? Clenching my teeth to stop their chatter, I flexed stiff fingers inside my gloves and exhaled.
I craved fresh air filling my lungs, sunlight warming my skin. I yearned to go home.
But first…I addressed the darkness.

Now that it’s official, I can share my news. I signed a contract for Eversworn this week. Yay!
It will be released digitally on June 26, 2012 and in print in April 2013.
Now, let’s get back to Vaughn, shall we?
“You’re playing a dangerous game.” He bent low and inhaled against my neck. “I hope your friend knows the rules.” Those vicious teeth of his rasped and my treacherous body leaned close.
My mind became a twisted jumble. “There are rules?”

13 CommentsEvermine’s First Review Is In!
I got an early Christmas present today–Evermine’s first review.
Sabine at Manic Readers gave it 4 stars. This is what she had to say:
This is a story of a deep love that could not be revealed and of a bond that did not break despite the distance or the circumstances. It is also the story of growth and how one demon finds his love and his sanity in the arms of his mate, and how one demoness finds serenity and forgiveness in the arms of her mate. Add to this the tale of a missing queen, court intrigue, glamour and magic being used and you have a great story of a love that withstands the test of time and everything else thrown at it.
I cannot wait to see how this series develops and I look forward to reading more about the Askari demons and their lives and loves! Fantastic series Ms. Edwards! Keep them coming!
She does recommend readers read the first book, Everlong, prior to Evermine, and I agree. Maddie and Emma are so close, their stories had to reflect that. You get much more out of Harper and Emma’s relationship if you understand Maddie and Harper, and Maddie and Emma’s relationship.

Stung by the Good News Bee
I am so excited to announce I signed a contract with Samhain Publishing this morning for Eversworn. It’s the third novel in my Daughters of Askara series, and this means a double dose of Askara in 2012!
This is Dillon and Isabeau’s story. If you’d like a sneak peek at the hero who made my editor swoon, check out my Six Sunday excerpts here.
For those keeping tabs, I’m about a quarter of the way finished with Vaughn and Mana’s story (A Feast of Souls, Araneae Nation, book two). Good lord willing and the creek don’t rise, it will round out 2012 for me with four releases, this one in winter.
Let’s cross those fingers, shall we?
