Wow, it’s been a while, hasn’t it? I hope that everyone’s life is going well. I want to thank all of you who took the time to comment and also to apologize for waiting so long to post. I can’t believe that it’s almost October, but I’ll be thankful when the cooler weather moves in. I’ll try to catch everyone up on what’s been happening in my world.
My Wicked Vampire hits the shelves today. It’s the fourth book in the Castle of Dark Dreams series. I want you to know that I chose the Castle of Dark Dreams as my setting because of all the people who responded to a question I asked on an earlier blog. More people seemed to want my next Ganymede and Sparkle book to be set at the castle, so here it is.
Right now I’m working on my next Gods of the Night book. I still haven’t chosen a title. I’m in the process of gathering together all the great titles that you guys suggested on Myspace and taking a good long look at them. This book is Utah’s story. And our heroine is Lia. We met her for the first time in Eternal Craving. What could be better conflict than a hero who hates vampires and a woman who leads them? By the way, with the soon-to-be released mega movie 2012, the Mayan calendar will be on everyone’s radar. Let’s hear it for the Mayan calendar. Hmm, do you think Steven Spielberg would be interested in a concept that merges Jurassic Park with 2012? I guess not. Sigh.
I’m about to remodel my condo. My designer must think that I was a crow in a past life. I keep choosing bright and shiny things. I’m using glass tiles for my walk-in shower, and whenever she suggests something a little less…sparkly, I ignore her. But at least she’s been able to restrain me to the point that I’ll have neutral paint on the walls. By the way, has anyone ever used glass tiles in their shower? How did they hold up?
As much as I’m anticipating my new-look condo, I’m not looking forward to moving out while the work is being done. The same friend (Gerry Bartlett-Real Vampires Have Curves series) who gave me a place to stay after Ike will again allow Abby and me to park at her home. How far can you stretch friendship before it snaps? But since we both have deadlines, maybe we can nag each other into getting moving on our books.
I have a few events planned for October. I’ll mention them here, but I’ll also post them on my home page and send out a bulletin on Myspace the day before they happen. October 7: chat at FF&P (8:00PM-9:00PM EST). This is the Fantasy, Futuristic & Paranormal chapter of RWA. If you’re a member, stop by. October 20: blog at Fresh Fiction http://FreshFiction.com/blog. October 31: blog at Borders True Romance http://bordersblog.com/trueromance. And yes, there will be prizes. I’m still trying to decide what to blog about. Any burning topics you’d like to see discussed?
If you haven’t seen the My Wicked Vampire video, take a look at it on YouTube. It will also be up on my home page in a few days. I don’t know where they found that guy’s torso, but wow, just wow.
Take care and thanks for all of your support. I truly appreciate it.
I love the “Gods of the Night” series and am waiting for the third book. No rush…. I have read all 19 books from the “Dark” series. They are the ones that got me started on the series books. I have read quite a few of your series and love them all! I wanted to thank you for being such a wonderful writer and helping me escape the world for a little while.
Please keep up the good work! I haven’t read a book I didn’t like of yours.
I was both surprised and extremely happy to see your new book My Wicked Vampire in my local Wal-mart today. And out of all the authors I have read, you by far are one of the funniest and quirkiest in the sense of the characters that you write. Your work helps to inspire me when I am working on my own novels to sometimes find a balance between the intense emotions of sexual attraction and love, and humor.
All of these articles have saved me a lot of heaacdhes.

a few weeks ago i started reading My Wicked Vampire…I am hooked. I went out and ordered the rest of the series then I red the nine series..all in two weeks! I’m working just to buy your books. Nina Bangs is officially my favorite author, funny, mystical, romantic, suspense all in one small book.
Nancy
Jus finished Wicked Vampire. I also am hooked. How did I miss the first three in the series??? Need to head to my fav bookstore (Hastings) next week and buy the first three if they have them and order the ones that they don’t. They know my by my first name there.
Anyway loved the book and loved that little plant Vince. I have Vinca all over under the trees in my front yard but none talk to me lol
Anyway loved the book and look forward to more in this series???? Keep writing and I will keep buying them
YOUR NEW BOOK ARE INTRESTING IN MINE I LIKE IT FORWARD YOUR NEW BOOK AND OLD ONE TOO THANKS SO MUCH
Okay I’m convinced. Let’s put it to aitcon.
First I love all of your series nd your books. I am glad you are working on your Gods of Night series because they are really really good.
I normally do not respond to updates on websites but I know some people that have glass tile in there showers. From what I know it looks great but make sure that you keep it clean because it shows soap residue quickly. Also you should check out these little tile accents that go in between tiles that add a little pizazz. I am not sure where you get them but I am sure your designer will know. They are really cool and inexpensive.
I have read all the series in My Wicked Vampire. I love love them and cant wait to order the rest of your books. thanks for giving me back a part of me that I lost. And Asima reminds me in everyway of my cat The Duchess! Cant wait for more!!
[...] Celebrity Hater ceertad an interesting post today on Romantical TimesHere’s a short outlineFrom zombies to werewolves to vampires and everything in between, these authors will talk about their writing strategies to make you laugh out… [...]
Utah and Lia..hmmm…could be interesting. Not to be a spoiler but do you think Q and Neva will ever hook up? He seemed a little bummed that she chose Macario over him in the first book but something tells me it is not the last we’ll see of her. Here’s a title suggestion if you haven’t gotten one already…”Eternal Thirst”
I never thought I would love Vampire books, but I’m totally hocked now and love the MacKenzie Series. Hope you have another one coming soon!!!!
About the glass tiles in the shower…I tiled ours with 1″ ones and it held up good. Only one cracked when we dropped something. Just have to be careful, because they are lot more slippery then other floor tiles!!
Just wanted to say Thank You for letting me escape my world and enter yours. My favorite series is Gods of the Night am avidly awaiting the 3rd book. You’re now one of my favorite authors along with Krentz, Roberts, Kenyon etc. You are great.
I appreciate you taking to time to contirtbue That’s very helpful.
=) I love your books. I just wanted to know when you were planning on releasing the next book in the Gods of the Night series?
i just re -read the pleasure master- made me smile all over again…thanks for sharing ian and kathy’s story it was a goodie! my moms’ in the hospital- what a delightful stress reliever! thanks!
I just wanted to say that I just read Eternal Pleasure and I LOVE it! The concept is just awesome! Who would have thought dinosaurs could be so sexy?!?! I can’t wait for the rest. Thank you!
Just read the excerpt from “Eternal Prey”. Sounds great and suspenseful like the others (definitely better than the Twilight series). You should get better artists though. The claw shown on the cover looks nothing like a real ‘raptor’s. Nonetheless, I can hardly wait for this one to come out. Who’s going to be next? Q? I hope so…and it really would be great if him and Neva got back together.
I love the Gods of Night series, The Mackenzie Vampire series and the Castle of Dark Dreams series. I have re-read every one of those books more times than I can count I get so caught up in the story that I can’t wait for the next. Thank you for writing books that take me too a world beyond anything I ever could of imagined.
I was wondering if there is a book that introduces Sparkle to Ganymede? Thier first ever meeting???
I’m shcoekd that I found this info so easily.
I’m just curious if you intend for each of the Eleven to get a mate, as that probably won’t happen before 2012 in our world, anyway (you can, of course, bend time in your fictional world). I’m particularly intrigued by Lio, who seems way out of the ordinary for a potential romance lead–who could “hook” him?
Love the Castle Of Dark Dreams Is there more to come from there??
I really like your Gods of Night series. The way you managed to make dinosaurs sexy is impressive, since they are really not sexy at all. Powerful, awe inspiring…yes…sexy…no. Still, you made it work beautifully. Your characters are captivating and the stories very entertaining. Two thumbs up, and awaiting more to come. Here’s hoping you write a book for each dino-man.
I just love the Mackenzie Vampire series, the Castle of Dark Dreams series, and the Gods of the Night Series. I got my copy of Eternal Prey yesterday afternoon and I just finished reading it this morning. Thank you for writing books that spark the imagination of your readers. You always leave me wanting more. Happy New Year!
It’s the very good topic.Was this doable to find great writing jobs? Suppose so, and everyone could find it rather helpful.
I have never seen such kind of ideas about this good post. I would opt for the custom writing services buy essay and custom writing on this theme!
