Yesterday evening I wrote on my Marine novel in a Moleskine, and then I was jotting down ideas for future projects. I have a trilogy of BDSM novellas I am planning for Ellora’s Cave, a novella for Imajinn for an anthology with MA DuBarry (contracted!), and Captain Mendoza’s story. I also have a series in the works with Samara King and an anthology with Annmarie, both paranormal.

Black Heart’s Bride got a title change to Black Heart’s Prize, which I totally love! I wanted to put out a new pirate book because of the upcoming POTC movie. New pirate movie+renewed interest in pirates=good time to have a pirate romance! Anyway, Captain Mendoza will meet his destined love, but there will be definite barriers… I’m taking a classic theme involving a pirate….no, I don’t think I will tell more. I’d originally intended it to be historical, but since Sea Hawk’s Mistress was paranormal, that will continue into BHP. I want to write an additional book to follow BHP…no title as of yet.

Honestly, the idea book is filling up fast. I may need to get a bigger book!

I got notice that the proposal for my twist on poem The Spider and the Fly, The Devil’s Web, was accepted by Imajinn Books. The novella will be released as an ebook and included in the trade paperback anthology Dark and Deadly Tales with pal M.A. DuBarry [website]. Both the novellas in the anthology are dark paranormal erotic romances set in Regency England.

Here’s the (rough) blurb for The Devil’s Web:

After several seasons on the hunt for a husband, Cora Beauchamp grows restless and is convinced no proper gentleman could ever answer her forbidden–and positively scandalous–desires. Without hope of ever marrying, Cora decides to appeal to the man known in the backrooms of society as The Spider. With much to lose–her virginity, her reputation, her future marriage possibilities–she plans to gain much more by offering herself as mistress to the recluse Spider in hopes to fulfill her darkest sexual fantasies.

Living on the edge of society suits the Marques of Lansdowne, Lord Richard Webster. Not much for rules and restrictions, he keeps away from the endless gossips and indulges in his scandalous diversions in the peaceful and secluded English countryside. At least that is what he wants the ton to think–because the Marques of Lansdowne is in truth a vampire. He sates his sexual appetites along with his bloodlust with his various playmates, but his world is upturned when one night a surprise visitor, a tantalizing beauty he’d met before, comes to his door with a tempting proposition.

Instantly recognizing the man who haunts her memory, Cora has second thoughts. With one touch of his hand against her cheek, she loses resistance and follows his lead into a world of pleasure beyond her dreams. Caught in his web, Cora becomes the prey, a willing sexual slave to the powerful Spider. Richard wants more than the submission of her flesh and the surrender of her spirit. He wants her love too, but that can’t be bound and restrained, Cora must give her heart freely. She must come to love not only the man that commands her body but also the bloodthirsty beast within.
