What's on your nightstand?

I'm hard at work on a story, but I'm trying to sneak in a book here or there. On my virtual nightstand this week is a sexy paranormal romance:

It sounded like something from one of the graphic novels Jaime Anderson aspires to create, but Arden Kaller is real. Once the lover of Jaime's older brother, his blood coats Jaime's lips the first night he hits town when he heals him after Jaime is involved in an altercation in a brick-lined alley. Arden has spent long years studying his amphora, his pot shards. How can a small town boy exert such a hold on him? But it isn't long before he tricks Jaime into wearing his mystical token.

Jaime's life is complicated enough just handling classes. Now his guitar-playing friend Mondo turns out to be a werewolf who wants Jaime to be his-and then there is Arden, his dark, dangerous, and slightly nerdy vampire lover.

What's on your nightstand?

Melinda Barron had a book release last week, so of course it's on my virtual nightstand this week. What is everyone else excited to read?

Bestselling Author Krisily Carmichael needs a break from her life. Her horrid ex-boyfriend sold naked photos of her, and now she’s plastered all over the nation’s largest skin magazine. So when an advertisement for a rental cottage near Bath appears in her mailbox, she snatches up the offer.

When she arrives at the remote English cottage, she finds a charming country home with a huge botanical garden…complete with four magical beings trapped inside.

Victim of a wayward spell, the Sorcerer Uriel and his alchemist cousins, Bythos and Acolius, have spent centuries trapped inside their garden with an evil witch who wants their secrets. Krisily’s arrival sets off a string of events foretold to bring about the witch’s end. Unfortunately, they have to contend with the witch’s curse, which took one sense from each of the men.

But the four of them find a way to communicate, and they come together in a blaze of passion that helps them to destroy the witch and meet their destiny.

Dreamspinner Press Turns Four!

Dreamspinner Press (home of my upcoming story, Chasing Alex) is celebrating its fourth anniversary by having all kinds of specials and drawings!!! Check out the Dreamspinner Press Blog for details.

Cover Love: Chasing Alex

We're less than one month away from the release of Chasing Alex and I'm getting excited enough to consider adding a countdown button on the side of the blog. In the meantime, visit my website and check out my Coming Soon page to read the blurb for Chasing Alex :)

Chasing Alex also happens to have not one, but two covers. Since the story is part of Dreamspinner Press's 2011 Daily Dose line, the cover that will up on their site is the Daily Dose: First Time For Everything cover. Inside the book itself, Chasing Alex gets its name in lights (or pixels, as it were).

Interested in a sneak peek? Here are both covers:
