A New Contract

Marisa Chenery — Mon, 01 Dec 2008 01:17:11 +0000

Yesterday I signed the contract for my next book coming out at Liquid Silver Books. This will be Book Four in my werewolf series called Mated to a Wolf. This is Finn’s story. He’s Billie’s, from Seducing the Wolf, brother. I left things hanging with him at the end of Seducing the Wolf.

New Print Book and A New Cover

Marisa Chenery — Wed, 19 Nov 2008 02:24:38 +0000

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.

The Cover For Mahes Won

I entered the cover for my book Mahes in The New Covey awards a little while back. It ended up being up for voting in October. I heard today that Mahes won the Most Artistic Cover award. I’m thrilled. April, the Art Director at Liquid Silver Books, did an awesome job on Mahes’ cover. I’ve been lucky to have her do all my covers at LSB. You can see the page HERE where it shows Mahes won.

Three New Contracts

Marisa Chenery — Fri, 24 Oct 2008 20:16:05 +0000

I signed three new contracts this morning for Siren Publishing. These contracts are for the last three stories in my new Egyptian Shifters series. Siren had already contracted story #1 called Turqoise Eye of Hours. The last three stories in order are Judgment by Anubis, Sef, The Lion of Yesterday and Duau, The Lion of Tomorrow. The last two stories are about identical twin brothers who can shape shift into lions. All four stories will be released in ebook format March 2009 and will be released as a print collection July 2009.

Seducing the Wolf Was Released

Marisa Chenery — Mon, 08 Sep 2008 22:52:22 +0000

Book Three in my werewolf series called Seducing the Wolf was released today at Liquid Silver Books. The blurb is below. You can find it on Liquid Silver’s website HERE. I soon have to start thinking about writing Book Four .

Blurb:

Billie first met Royce at Wulf’s Den while there to drag her drunken brother home to his wife. Even though she knows he is attracted to her, Royce refuses to see her again. With four older brothers, and being a personal trainer at her family’s gym, Billie is not the type of woman to let a man she wants slip through her fingers.

Royce knows Billie is his mate, but with her being a mortal, he fights the attraction he feels for her. He already lost a mate who wasn’t a werewolf and doesn’t want to take the chance of getting hurt.

As Royce’s feelings grow for Billie another male werewolf stalks Royce. Thinking Royce’s blood is the key to a magic spell, he will do anything to obtain it, even if he has to use Billie to get it.

A New Contract

Marisa Chenery — Sat, 30 Aug 2008 00:02:48 +0000

I signed, and then mailed off, the new contract I received from BookStrand, sister company to Siren Publishing, for my new paranormal short story called Turquoise Eye of Horus. As you can probably tell from the title, it has an Egyptian god theme to it as well as a shape shifter theme. This will be the first story in a series of short stories that I’ve called Egyptian Shifters. I’m already working on the proposals for the next three stories to send into BookStrand. I really do love anything to do with ancient Egypt and shape shifters .

Seducing the Wolf Release Date

Marisa Chenery — Mon, 18 Aug 2008 15:19:52 +0000

Book Three in my werewolf series, Seducing the Wolf, now has a release date. It will be released at Liquid Silver Books on Sept. 8th. This also means I have to start getting my thoughts organized for Book Four. I still have a few more werewolf book ideas bouncing around in my head . This also will be released exactly one year and two days from when my debut novel, The Blue Lotus, was released at Liquid Silver. Hard to believe I’ve been a published author for almost a year now. The year has seemed to just fly by.

Lady Knight Was Released

Marisa Chenery — Thu, 07 Aug 2008 16:58:57 +0000

My second historical romance called Lady Knight was released today at Siren Publishing. As I’ve said before, Lady Knight was the very first book I wrote, so that makes its release extra special for me. You can find it on Siren’s website HERE. I’ll post the blurb below. There’s also an excerpt on my website, which can be found on my Excerpts page.

Blurb:

Saxon Lady Ariel of Elmstead disguises herself as a boy and leads her father’s men to battle the Norman invaders. Her goal is to find the Norman knight who left her with child the year before. The only clue she has to his identity is the ring he gave her.

During the battle of Hastings, Broc St. Ceneri takes a young Saxon boy as his hostage. The boy so resembles the Saxon girl he can’t forget, Broc offers to train him as a knight after he is granted Elmstead as his own.

With Broc unable to see through her disguise, Ariel must decide whether to risk all by revealing her secret, or say nothing and let the man she loves wed another.

The Chosen One Was Released

Marisa Chenery — Mon, 28 Jul 2008 23:00:45 +0000

My first fantasy romance called The Chosen One was released today at Liquid Silver Books. You can find it on Liquid Silver’s website HERE. The blurb is below.

Blurb:

Kali, warrior queen of Zudris, had her heart broken five years before when Gar, the warrior she had chosen for her mate, walked away. Now he has returned bringing two priests of the Order of The Chosen One. The Order has singled her out to do their test because of her Pantherinae blood that has marked her with eyes of a cat.

Walking away from Kali had been the hardest thing Gar had ever done. But if he hadn’t, she would have depended on him and wouldn’t have grown into the strong queen she was.

Doing the test awakens something inside Kali. In her dreams, she meets an ancient Pantherinae shaman who can shape shift into a black panther, one who wants to claim her as his mate.
