Hi guys! This should be the last post for tonight, and I hope you enjoy it. I thought I’d introduce you to Lance. Is he hot or what??? When I was looking for the perfect face to be “Lance” in the trailer, I was shocked to actually find him hidden away amid the pages of a photo site. That was him. It’s almost as if I’d seen his face before. I promptly plopped down my credit card. LOL.

So who is Lance, anyway? What is he? At first glance he appears human, not quite. He’s a wizard. Cassie has problems with the image when she discovers his talent, for in her mind pops images of Merlin and Harry Potter. Old men and young boys. Somehow the vision doesn’t mesh with the man who’s life she just saved.

A wizard is a magician who studies and studies and studies, and while he can become quite powerful, he’s definitely NOT a natural. He doesn’t think and therefore it is, like we all wish magick could be. He has to memorize complex spells to create his magick. Only a Sorcerer is considered a natural. A sorcerer works on instinct, a man with magick at his fingertips. He doesn’t need to study and prepare. It’s there, in his blood, in his heart.

But none of that has anything to do with Lance. Or does it? To find out for sure, you’ll need to read Tigress By The tail.

But I know you didn’t come here to look at pretty pictures. You came to win something, didn’t you?

The last prize will be a copy of Tigress by the Tail. You know you want to read it. You want to see how the wizard interacts with this magnificent half human, half beast female. A woman who’s almost as innocent as she is wild, who could kill him with one swipe of a giant paw. He likens her to skydiving, where only the delicate wind keeps you alive.

So post and tell me if you had fun today, and one lucky person wins Tigress by the Tail. And don’t forget to bookmark all my sites so you can keep up to date on books, book signings, chats and other events forthcoming. Moira and I thank you for stopping by, and don’t forget to drop by and visit her site to help you answer the questions on our grand prize. So without further ado, here’s the list of links to keep updated on all my events:

• MySpace

And don’t forget, tonight I’ll be chatting live at Romantic Inks at 9 pm EST. I hope to see you there!

Yes, you too can have your very own Tiger! Betcha never thought you’d hear THOSE words before. But you can! And the great big lug won’t even take over your sofa like your dog already does. Isn’t that nice? Your bed will remain free of kitty hair, and your vacuum cleaner doesn’t have to work overtime. And the food bill. Oh my, what if you had to feed this kitten? No matter how sweet and cuddly, 50 lbs of raw meat a day gets expensive.

You can have your own real tiger without all that muss and fuss, and feel great doing it.

How, you ask? All you need do is drop by tigerhomes.org and donate $25.00, selecting which tiger you wish to adopt. Really, it’s just that simple. Think a lion is more your style? What about a leopard? Both are available for your sponsorship/adoption pleasure.

The Tigerhomes sanctuary is a privately-run exotic animal sanctuary in Florida, designed to educate the public about these wonderful exotic creatures. Another, somewhat more elaborate center is located in Myrtle Beach South Carolina. I’m sure there are other centers close to you as well. Imagine, the opportunity to get up close and personal with a wild animal. And no matter how docile and tame the creatures appear, never forget, these ARE wild animals.

So go own your very own tiger! And if you’d rather have just a good read, don’t forget to download Tigress By The Tail!

Hi all, and welcome back, hope you’re checking back regularly today for games and prizes! For those of you who are just dropping by, this is the Tigress by the Tail Release Party, and we are going to talk about…. Tigers of course!

Most are not aware there are FIVE breeds of Tigers, one which is so close to extinction as to only have 30 known animals in the wild and 50 in zoos. That’s scary to me. To know we will lose one breed of these beautiful animals very soon if drastic steps are not taken is very scary. With so few specimens it’s possible it’s even too late.

But I think what I found most fascinating during my research for this book was the movement and skill of this powerful animal. In most of the “common” species of tigers (The Bengal and The Siberian Tigers) they large and powerful creatures. They almost look clumsy when in zoos, yet video in the wild shows a majestic grace filled with the confidence that comes with knowing no one is your equal. I tried to portray that same confidence and power when writing about Cassie.

But another thing that caught my attention was the variety in sizes of tigers. You and I are probably the same. When you say tiger, you think large, powerful animal. You think something at least 400 lbs if not larger. Imagine my surprise when I discovered some tigers are barely bigger than your large mastiff breeds of dogs! 250 lbs. That just amazes me.

I viewed alot of video while I was off traipsing the realms of research. Video to show me what tigers and tigresses were really like. They are strong, confident, and they hold a grudge! (Think boys at the zoo throwing stones last year). I watched one video on youtube.com where a tigress was shot with a dart, in hopes of tranq’ing her before tourists wandered through. Many of you may have seen some of the later video footage as she leapt onto the back of an elephant to attack the man with the gun - an hour later. Yes, she never forgets.

The Tiger is the most naturally aggressive creature on the planet (Right up there with polar bears). They don’t attack for fun, like our dear sweet house cat, but they will protect their own with single minded viciousness. The female may be smaller than her male, but I still wouldn’t want to meet her in a dark alley. Oh wait, Lance DOES meet her in a dark alley. Thank heaven it wasn’t the first time they’d met.

Now, on to the fun and games - one person will win a copy of a CD entitled “Paranormal Teasers”, which includes excerpts from 8 different paranormal romance authors, including myself, Larissa Ione and others. Want to see what’s hot in paranormal romance? Post a comment, tell me what you think of tigers, or shapeshifters, or paranormal romance in general!

Don’t forget to pick up your copy of Tigress By The Tail today!

More posts will be coming today, and more prizes! Tigress by the Tail is available at AllRomanceEbooks.com

Make sure you drop by tomorrow, I have an awesome day planned. I’ll be posting blogs every few hours, with contests galore!!!!!

That’s right! Two more days till The Moon: Tigress By The Tail is released by Tease Publishing! I’m so excited about this book!

As a writer of shape shifters, and a founding member of the shapeshifting romance blog, I have often received comments of what it’s like for the female to the be the shifter. People have wanted to see this for some time. So that’s what I’ve done. Cassie is a Tiger Shifter, a character who has lived under her father’s care as her mother has passed away. She’s powerful and strong, and has a temper. But she’s also been sheltered most of her life.

When she’s taken captive by a group determined to use her to their benefit, while pumping her full of drugs, Cassie is in danger of losing her human side. Trapped in the body of the most powerfully aggressive creature on the planet, how does she fight? How can one small humanoid female fight the power of the tiger?

Read Tigress By The Tail to find out! I’ll be posting the order link as soon as I have it!

Here on this blog, and for that I apologize. I’ve been busy though. Tigress by the Tail: The Moon comes out on July 15th! I’m so excited.

For those who have read the first one, you’re going to love this one. It delves even deeper into the world of the Wolven, and tells of all the conflicts of living hidden in the world today. So keep tabs on me, and I’ll be sharing that soon.So I hope you’ll stay with me, and share with the release of this new book. Learn about the shifter world from another side - The Tigress!

Well, it’s that time again - pulling everything in the book together to make the awesome book video trailers. As anyone knows who’s ever made one of these themselves, the movie clips, audio clips and sound effects are quite expensive. While perusing the many sites of royalty free products, I found alot of great resources, th emost recent is PIR Free Royalty Sound effects. They had alot of the special effects I was looking for, and if you decide you wish to create your own video, check them out!
