DUALITY BLURB
Duality” by Renee Wildes
Genre: Fantasy Romance
ISBN: 1-60504-216-1
Length: Plus Novel
Price: 6.50
Publication Date: October 21, 2008
Cover art by Anne Cain
Love will give them strength—or prove to be their fatal flaw.
Guardians of the Light, Book 1
Dara Khan Androcles is really in over her head this time. From childhood she’s been forced to hide her half-dragon mage fighting skills behind a public persona as a healer. Now, with a traitor and his demon threatening the throne of Safehold, Dara has no choice but to turn reluctant warrior—and seek help.
She strikes a bargain with runaway Elven prince Loren ta Cedric and his sentient, pain-in-the-butt war mare, Hani’ena. Loren’s not only too handsome for Dara’s own good, the powerful empath can see right through to the pain that drives her.
Loren can’t help but feel Dara’s every hurt, physical and emotional. Though his need for her drives him half mad, he must stay his course to see justice done for his people. Even if it means swearing a Life Debt to the distracting mortal.
That vow, made in the heat of their parallel quests, carries more power than either of them guessed. The power to bond the unlikely pair as Life Mates. The power to lay bare the fears and desires that could bind them to a single purpose—or tear them apart.
All the while a demon awaits, ready to destroy all that they hold dear.
Warning: Contains patricide; noble self-sacrifice; one bad-ass, demon-possessed despot; a bad-tempered dragon; and a water mage who likes to “rain” on her husband’s parade—literally. Downside: A quest for a magic book (written in blood) that nobody wants, and a talking war mare with the warm, fuzzy voice of Judy Densch. Upside: Serious ass-kicking. Be prepared to learn to curse, cry and laugh—in Elvish

Are Epubbed authors second class citizens?
Oi!
I have had a BELLYFUL of rants against the RWA this past week. RWA is one of the biggest professional writers organizations, with lots of newbie support & education, local chapters, contests, conferences, the PRO & PAN programs, networking and the National Convention.
The whole controversy centers around Ebook authors having extra hoops to get into PAN and NOT being eligible to enter the RITA (pubbed club & contest). I'm an Epubbed author, have been w/RWA since 2002 and I guess… Continue

One More Time
I got the proof for Killer Career, and wouldn't you know it, I just had to find stuff that I wanted to fix. It'll cost me a bit more, but it's worth it not to be bugged about stuff I know is wrong. Okay, it's just little stuff, but little stuff sometimes means a lot.
So, a little more delay, a little more money, but hopefully all will end well. That's what matters.
It's no fun being a picky person. (G)

Glad to be here. I am making my way around the site, but I must say I already like the format. Looking to find some great books. I must start with the best of course, so I can't wait for Hedda on the 6th. Thanks for the invite Ms. Wildes~
