Marisa's Ramblings

The second book in my Goddess Revealed shape shifter series called Love’s Fiery Arrow was released today at Ellora’s Cave. This is the second out of four shorts in the series. I’m finished the edits on the third and fourth story and I just have to wait for release dates for them.

You can find Love’s Fiery Arrow on Ellora’s Cave website HERE. The blurb is below.

Blurb:

Aric thinks he’s losing his mind when a lioness appears in an alleyway to defend him from some thugs—when she turns into a gorgeous woman, he’s even more confused. Before he can even ask her name, though, she disappears.

That night, the gorgeous woman shows up at his apartment and tells him that he’s her mate—the man meant to stay with her for all eternity. The passion blazes between them, but they have to make a choice—for them to be together, Aric has to accept immortality and Menhit must agree to leave her home in the immortal realm, never to return.

My first Strange Hollow book, Jinx and Her Werewolf, was released today at Liquid Silver Books. You can find it on LSB’s website HERE.

Blurb:

As a jinx, Thora has had to move around a lot. When her car breaks down, stranding her in Strange Hollow, she figures the town is as good a place as any to stay for a while. When she meets Daker, he is just one more reason for her to stay.

A werewolf, Daker knows Thora is his mate, but her being a mortal just adds one more reason to take things slow with her. Not only does he have to find a way to tell her he is a werewolf, and she is his mate, he has to explain that the residents of Strange Hollow aren’t exactly what they seem. After Daker claims Thora as his mate, Thora knows they can never be, not with her curse hanging over her head. She may be cursed to be a jinx for the rest of her life, but she’s also destined to kill the man she gives her heart to. Not wanting to be the cause of Daker’s death, she has to fight her feelings for him or watch the man she loves die.

The first short in my Goddess Revealed series called Bast’s Perfume was released today at Ellora’s Cave. It’s a paranormal/cat shifter. This is my first book at EC so I’m pretty excited about it. Last week I signed the contracts for the last three shorts in this series.

You can find Bast’s Perfume on EC’s website HERE. I’ll post the blurb below.

Blurb:

Trapped in the immortal realm by a vengeful demon, Bast is finally freed when a human opens the ancient jar that binds her. But he is no ordinary human; he is her mate, a fact Bast tends to conceal—for her time in the mortal world is limited.

When a cat inexplicably appears the moment he opens the perfumed jar, Slade is bemused—then stunned when the cat morphs into a stunning goddess. Their attraction is immediate, their passion unstoppable. With each blazing sexual encounter, Slade’s in danger of losing his heart. But he could lose far more, for the demon is near, drawn ever closer by the lure of Bast’s perfume…

The first book in my Roxie’s Protectors werewolf series, Roan’s Fall, is now out at Liquid Silver Books. I plan to write another five books for the series. It’s also a spin off series to my Wulf’s Den series. You can find it on LSB’s website HERE. I’ll post the blurb below.

Blurb:

As a hair stylist, Ansley has seen and cut a lot of people’s hair, but when Roxie shows up for her appointment with a very large, gorgeous man, Ansley can’t take her eyes off him. Nor can she stop her body’s reaction to Roan when Roxie asks her to cut his hair as well. But things seem to go steadily downhill when Ansley’s curse, her ability to say the first thing that comes to mind when around a man she is attracted to, rears its ugly head. When Roan growls at her to hurry up, Ansley knows her mouth has done it to her again.

Even through the harsh chemical smells in the hair salon, Ansley’s scent is like a punch in the gut to Roan. Knowing she is his mate, and a mortal, has him fighting the urge to claim her as his own. Hoping to ease into telling her he is a werewolf, Roan prays he has the control to take things slow. But when it comes to Ansley, he must fight the wolf inside him or risk scaring away the one woman that was meant for him.

Book Five in my werewolf series at Liquid Silver Books called Wulf’s Den-His She-Wolf Warrior has now been released. You can find it on Liquid Silver’s website HERE.

The fourth story in my Egyptian Shifters series at Siren Publishing, Duau, The Lion of Tomorrow was released today. This the last short story in the series. I noticed that I forgot to post about the 3rd story’s, Egptian Shifters 3 – Sef, The Lion of Yesterday, being released last Thursday. Oops ha ha. All four short stories will be released as a print collection in trade paperback sometime this April. I’m sort of kicking around the idea of writing another four short stories, but this time the shifters will be Egyptian Goddesses. Have to see if I can make the time to write them from all the other books I want to write .

You can find Egyptian Shifters 3 HERE and Egyptian Shifters 4 HERE. I’ll post the blurbs for both below since I forgot to post it for #3 last week.

Egyptian Shifters 3 – Sef, The Lion of Yesterday Blurb:

Separated from his twin when a demon traps them in the mortal realm, Sef falls for the mortal woman who nursed him back to health while unable to shift from his lion form. Unable to return to the underworld where he and his twin brother Duau guard its gate, Sef fears an attack that is sure to come.

A vet, Chandra takes in many exotic animals that have been mistreated by owners that don’t know how to look after them. When she accepts the lion that had been captured in a farmer’s field, she sees something in the lion’s eyes that reaches out to her. Never did she expect the lion to shift into Sef, one half of the Egyptian god Aker.

When the demon finds Sef and takes him and Chandra to the underworld, Chandra has to make the ultimate sacrifice for the man she loves.

Egyptian Shifters 4 – Duau, The Lion of Tomorrow Blurb:

Unable to shift out of lion form, Duau is stuck in the mortal realm, separated from his twin brother, Sef. Weak from wounds received in battle with the demons that trapped him, he finds help in the form of the mortal woman who takes him in as a lion.

Darcie takes the wounded lion into her home against her better judgment. When he shifts into human form and tells her he is an Egyptian god, she falls for the immortal she has taken in. But can an immortal ever come to love a mortal?

Stuck in the mortal realm and unable to find his twin, Duau knows Darcie is his mate, but she would never survive the underworld where he must return. Can he give up the mortal woman who has his heart, or will he be the death of her?

Mated to a Wolf, Book Four in my werewolf series at Liquid Silver Books was released today. You can find it HERE on their website. Now I have to start thinking about getting started on Book Five .

Blurb:

Finn York had a bad experience with werewolves. Marked emotionally and physically from the experience, his aversion causes him to fight the attraction he feels for the female werewolf he meets at Wulf’s Den. Yet her scent draws him with the irresistible power of a werewolf’s mating instinct.

Jocelyn works as a waitress at Wulf’s Den. She’d noticed Finn months before but the sudden changes in him confuse her. When she serves him drinks one night he growls and sniffs the air as if he can smell her arousal and Jocelyn’s confusion escalates. But her interest in Finn heightens and she plots a way to force him to overlook his disgust to claim her as his mate.

The second short story in my Egyptian Shifters series, Judgment by Anubis, at Siren Publishing was released today. As you can tell from the title, Anubis finds his mate in this story. You can find it at Siren’s website HERE.

Blurb:

While in a coma, Jinny finds herself standing before the Egyptian god Anubis to be judged. After shifting from his half man/half jackal form, Jinny is instantly attracted to the man, falling for his dark, good looks.

Anubis is drawn to the mortal woman he is to judge. As he starts to lose his heart to Jinny he delays passing judgment, keeping her lingering between two worlds–the realm of the living and the underworld where he dwells.

The longer Anubis puts of his judgment the weaker Jinny becomes until he is forced to make his decision. His choice–he either lets her return to the realm of the living, or let her remain in the underworld, which would mean her death.

The first short story in my Eygptian Shifters series, called Turquoise Eye of Horus, has been released at Siren Publishing. The other three short stories in the series will be released on the next three Thursdays–Feb. 5th, Feb. 12th and Feb. 19th. You can find Turquoise Eye of Horus at Siren HERE.

Blurb:

Codie had her trip to Egypt all planned out, but her plans soon fall apart when she gets lost in the Eastern Desert during a sand storm. Lost and alone, she unintentionally calls out to the Egyptian god, Horus, whose eye she wears around her neck as a pendant.

Horus comes to Codie in her dreams, the only place he can come to her as a man without drawing his uncle’s spiteful attention. Unable to watch Codie suffer during her waking hours, Horus takes his falcon form and goes to Codie in the mortal realm to watch over her until a rescue party comes.

As Codie’s plight worsens, Horus confronts Seth, who has trapped Codie out in the desert to draw Horus out. With their feud as old as time, Horus knows he must defeat Seth if he is to save the mortal woman he wants as his mate.

Today was a good day for me. Lady Knight, my erotic historical romance published at Siren Published came out at Amazon.com in trade paperback today. You can find it HERE. It will also be out at Barnes&Noble.com as well soon.

I also received the cover for the first story in my Egyptian Shifters series that will be published at Siren Publishing March 2009. Now I just have to wait for the other covers for the other three stories and the print cover for when the stories will be released as a print collection. Below is the cover for Egyptian Shifters 1 – Turquoise Eye of Hours.
