Marisa's Ramblings

I’m still finding it hard to believe 2007 is almost over. This year has just flown by. For me, 2007 will always be the year I’ll remember. It was the year I finally was able to see my books published after 11 years of trying. At one time, I thought I never would see the day. I had almost given up until I learned about epublishers. For an unpublished author, epublishers were a dream come true. I will forever hold Liquid Silver Books near and dear to my heart because they were the first publisher to ever request a full manuscript of any of my books. And when they eventually offered me a contract for The Blue Lotus, I was proud to finally, at long last, call myself an author, which was something I said I would never do until one of my books was actually published. Now with two books out, contracted for a third, and a fourth one submitted to Liquid Silver, I’m finding it hard to remember those days when I would spend hoping a publisher would actually be interested in any of my books. So 2007 has in some ways been my year.

With tomorrow being New Years Eve, most people will be making their New Year’s Resolutions. I don’t normally make any myself. I don’t smoke, so that’s one habit I don’t have to break. I could probably stand to lose a couple of pounds since I haven’t been to the gym since the holidays started. But if I had to make a resoultion, it would probably be to write more books and hopefully the stories bouncing around inside my head will never stop coming. With that said, I hope everyone one has a Happy New Year and a great year ahead.

Today I signed the contract for my latest book, Beowulf and Roxie for Liquid Silver Books. I’m very excited about seeing this one come out. It’s the first werewolf romance I have written. There is a good chance I will be writing a sequel to this in the not too distant future. I’ll post the unedited blurb that I already have up on my website.

Blurb:

When Roxie and her friend, Candice, decided on a girls’ night out she didn’t realize that the Wulf’s Den would be more than she had anticipated. But Roxie soon learned to expect anything. The presence of a super-abundance of super good looking men surprised her and when the best of the bunch stared at her as if he wanted to devour her, surprise turned to amazement.

Beouwlf recognized her as his mate the instant she crossed his path and her scent filled his lungs. But he had to overcome one hurdle. She was not one of his kind–a werewolf. He had waited for years to find his mate and he would claim her even if she was a mortal. He would soon teach her all about werewolves.

Roxie is caught up in strange events. Archaic markings appear on her wrist, and strong forces threaten to tear her away from her love as two other male werewolves try to claim her as their own. Would Roxie and Beowulf be able to keep the bond love had forged or would they lose each other forever?
