Sorry I haven’t been posting and chatting as much as I usually do at Facebook, Twitter, and Goodreads. But I’ve been totally slammed for the last week, working out the millions of details involved in launching The Manigault Vampires serial.

In fact Kittyfeather Press publishing the vamp series in ebook marks a MAJOR turning point in my career. Yeah, this slut is finally positioned to take off and zoom into the stratosphere.

Alrightyyyy!

Awesome news, isn’t it? And it’s about time, too!

First, I want to thank all of you who’ve stayed with me faithfully through the last year of my insane career. Why? Because it’s been 16 verrrrrrry long months since my last erotic romance, Call of the Witches, was published.

Trust me. I never in a million years planned for that to happen. But Forbidden Publications (who bought my Rune Witch Series) was supposed to publish that ebook novella trilogy in the Spring/Summer of 2009. And Trytium Publishing was set to publish A Vampire’s Kiss in the fall of 2009.

Instead Forbidden went out of business in March, shocking many of its authors, including me. That meant I had to stop working on the vamp novel to find a new publisher for the The Rune Witch Series.

Whew! What a busy week. On Monday night I signed a major contract with my agent and new publisher for 10 titles (17 books total in ebook and/or paperback, some new, some to be republished).

The rest of this week I’ve been working my ass off on the vampire novel (A Vampire’s Kiss: Book One of the Manigault Vampires).

All I can say is this is gonna be an awesome novel when I finish it. But I have to laugh when I talk about it. Sara and Dray refused to follow my outline when I wrote the first draft back in 2009. And they are staying true to form by not following their own first draft. Seriously. They’ve been cutting up chapters and adding chapters and lengthening the book. The last chapter they added (Chapter 14) is a smokin’ hot sex scene. Yeah, sizzling vamp sex. Yummy!

“Laura, I like vampires and erotica. Which book would you recommend of yours for me to start with? Chatting with you on Facebook got me curious, so I’d like to read one of your books. I know I would love it!” (Sheila, New York)

“I have not read one of your books but would love to. I have searched for your books up here in Norwood, Colorado, and have not found any. How do I go about getting one of the first of the series, so I can start at the beginning? And I have to admit I’m totally into paranormal, vampires, shapeshifters, etc. From what I gather, you are as good as Laurel K. Hamilton and some of those other women which will for sure be added to my overstuffed shelf. Talk to you soon and have a great week!” (Chari Barker, Colorado)

Hope you had a great weekend.  Mine was awesome!  On Saturday I finally finished the first draft of my latest erotica novel "A Vampire’s Kiss: Book One of the Manigault Vampires."  YAY!!  My novels usually run about 28 chapters, but this one came in at 37 chapters and took 9 weeks to write (instead of [...]

If you’re wondering why my blog post is later than usual on this Saturday morning it’s because I decided to sleep in a little longer.  This has been such a busy week!  All good stuff, but still exhausting, so I decided to catch up on my beauty rest.  Kinda.  *naughty grin*
 
Anyway, if everything goes according to plan, I’ll [...]

Dear Goddess I had fun yesterday!  Maybe it was the Full Moon.  Whatever.  But I was in rare form (which means I was hornier than usual) and loving every minute of it!!
 
The day started with answering emails from reader/fans, posting on my blogs, and chatting with the oversexed men and women in my Goodreads groups and the Amazon Sex forum.  Big [...]

I have just finished the second book in the series (WHAT WITCHES WANT) and have begun the third (CALL OF THE WITCHES), In fact, I started backwards(!) and read the first chapter of the Drayton Manigault novel (A VAMPIRES KISS: BOOK ONE OF THE MANIGAULT VAMPIRES) before the first chapter of the third Witchery [...]

Hi Laura! I met you a few weeks ago when you were signing books in front of Waldenbooks at Columbiana Mall. I have been following your blog, and I read the first chapter of your new vampire book. I can’t wait for it to come out! I was immediately hooked and can’t [...]
