Sorry to be so quiet. I’m deep into research at the moment and wrapping up a project.

A couple fun things:

I’ll be talking about romance novels along with the fabulous Mary Castillo and Susan Squires at this year’s Literary Orange, held by the Orange County Public Library on April 5.

Romance: Love Between the Pages

Love! Vampires! Passion! And laughter! These writers have it all! These are not your mother’s cookie cutter romances. Wendy Crutcher introduces Mary Castillo, Sylvia Day and Susan Squires, writers who go above and beyond the traditional tale of the search for true love.

And, I have titles for the first three books in my MARKED series with Tor. You can see them here, if you’re interested. No excerpts posted yet or official blurbs. If you’re interested in the urban fantasy books, you can sign up for the newsletter here. The MARKED books aren’t romance and they won’t be found in the romance section of your bookstore, so there’s a separate newsletter for them.

I hope things are going well for you in your part of the world!

Night Rising was only the beginning…

Dawn Madison reluctantly came to Los Angeles in search of her missing father and found instead a world of murder and the living dead she never imagined existed. When a new vampire slaying lures Dawn deeper into the underground, her alliances in the sunlit world shift. Now she has only herself to trust and her newfound skills as “a spunky vampire slayer” (Publishers Weekly).

REVIEWS:

“An exciting, high tension horror thriller with enough unresolved trust and family issues to make it credible, a hint of romance for spice and a bit of black humor to lighten up the often dark tone, this is a nicely conceived modern vampire tale that will keep readers guessing. The conclusion is certain to leave fans anxiously awaiting the final installment.”

“MIDNIGHT REIGN VAMPIRE BABYLON BOOK 2 is a powerhouse of emotions and revelations…. This story grabbed me and wouldn’t let go until I finished it. Now I have to find out how it all ends. Don’t miss this one. You won’t be sorry.”
