SUPER GINORMOUS NEWS!!! This is especially exciting for all my readers who have been BUGGING me about more Yelena and Valek books! Well guess what? I've a new contract with my publisher for four more books. One is the last book of the Healer series, TASTE OF DEATH due out December 2013, and the next three will be...more Study books!! Yes, I'm returning to Yelena, Valek, and the gang with a new series of adventures. Yay! The first book will probably be out the Fall of 2014 - key word probably! I'll know better next year. Is everyone happy now? Yes? Good - you can all stop bugging me! ;>

SCENT OF MAGIC release date is December 18, 2012 in the US and UK! It'll be released in Australia/New Zealand on December 19th!

SCENT OF MAGIC is the second book in my Healer series about Avry, a healer living in a world that is recovering from a deadly plague. To read more about the book click here: Books & Excerpts, and to read the first chapter of the book, click here: Chapter One.

To promote the release of SCENT OF MAGIC, I'm doing a number of book signings and events and will be hosting early copy give aways on my blog in November. Here's a link: Maria's Blog and Appearances.

I'm also doing a BLOG TOUR for the book's release. We will be giving away copies of SCENT OF MAGIC and have a Grand Prize Package for one lucky winner! The Tour starts December 10th and all the tour stops will be posted on my blog.

Here are the Australian/New Zealand (on the left) and United Kingdom (on the right) covers - I think all three are fabulous, but I'm very biased :)

AWARD NEWS!! Two of my books recently won awards. It's always a thrill to be a finalist, but winning is super sweet and it's so nice to be recognized. OUTSIDE IN won the Prism award for best Young Adult given by the Fantasy, Futuristic and Paranormal (FF&P) chapter of Romance Writers of America (RWA) in July 2012, and TOUCH OF POWER won the Golden Leaf award for best Paranormal given by the New Jersey Romance Writers chapter of RWA in October 2012. If the Golden Leaf sounds familar that's because STORM GLASS won in 2009 in the same category.

BLOODY FABULOUS
This anthology is a collection of stories of fantasy and fashion. (mine is more about a Fashion Photographer than fashion and is titled, Capturing Images). Here's the cover copy: Lace. Leather. Open collars over exquisite collarbones. A single red drop on paper-white cuffs. From the brocade extravagance of the Unseelie courts to the ubiquitous leather of supernatural detectives to the old-fashioned good taste of wealthy vampires - we are as familiar with fantasy protagonists' attire as we are with their paranormal deed. Tales of tormented designers and well-dressed vampires strut into spotlight in this anthology of fantasy tales focusing on the world of fashion and its intersection with the uncanny.
