I’ve just downloaded “Dead, Undead, or Somewhere in Between” so I don’t have a personal *pre-squee* for you, but I thought I’d introduce this one to you via a silly video! Urban fantasy with a vampire named “Disco” (whaaaa? YES! I so wanna read this). This is the series I am starting tonight, and I am dying to get to it, because of my fellow Facebook friends that have been *squeeing* over it. Crying over it. Getting angry over it… throwing their Kindles, over it. Sounds like fun, doesn’t it?
Book Review – Tender Mercies by Kitty Thomas
Tender Mercies
After reading Comfort Food by the same author, I experienced a sort of dazzled bewilderment. I LOVED it, but I couldn’t come to grips with *why* I did. No wait. I knew the “why” of it, (’cause it was simply awesome)… but the subject matter was just so dark and scary.
Like Mariel from my Facebook page said:
“When I read Comfort Food I was slightly disturbed by the fact that I wasn’t disturbed by the ending… Am I the only he who felt that?”

R.L. Mathewson – Neighbors From Hell Series Reading Order
These books were just what I needed when I came across them back in January. Sweet, funny, and romantic but with just enough of that “real feel” that I love so much. These guys rocked my world!!
Found it by accident while looking for a new book, thought the synopsis sounded great (even though the book covers were, at one time, nondescript). Didn’t matter to me. The premise was right up my alley. It’s as if I was *magically* led to them and I was sucked in from the very beginning. They made me laugh like crazy, but I crushed HARD too. The “heroes” are gorgeous, sweet, and deliciously infuriating (driving their female neighbors crazy). In a bad way. And… in a good way too! And now they’re even better with the hot new covers!

1. Tell us a “tidbit” or a secret about your upcoming projects that we might not already know?
I’m working on Quinn’s Undying Rose, Scanguards 6. Also in this book, the villain has a special relationship with a character from a previous book and his fate (whether he will live or die) is not yet determined.
