Release Dates!

Tuesday, September 2nd, 2008

I have release dates!
In Control comes out from Phaze on the 8th (next Monday!) What I love about this story is that it’s set in Dublin, my city and I think you really get a feel for the place. Ooh, and there’s plenty of frisky, angry sex too!
And on the very same day as In [...]

News

Wednesday, July 2nd, 2008

Well, my hotel weekend is over and I’m officially back at work. But all’s not lost as I do have a bit of good news to share.
Loose Id Publishing has accepted ‘Beauty and the Beasts’, my werewolf menage and probably my favorite of all the stories I’ve written. I’m so excited about this contract since [...]

5 Odd Facts about Sophie Athens

Monday, June 9th, 2008

1 — I adore shoes. It’s a sickness, I know, but I can’t pass up a shoe sale. I have wedges, high heels, flats, tennis shoes, and boots in all sorts of colors and patterns. I LOVE SHOES.
2–I’ve seen the movie The Little Mermaid enough times to quote it by heart, probably well over a [...]

What is Dominance?

Sunday, June 8th, 2008

Every now and again, when I mention that I write BDSM, I get funny looks. Inevitably, the next thing I hear is, “Why would anyone get into that? Who wants to be bossed around? Especially in bed?”
Which is true. We associate getting bossed around with crabby older sisters, supervisors at work, and other unpleasant folks. [...]

Good Weather (Like, Finally!)

Thursday, May 8th, 2008

Dear Weather Gods,
Thank you, thank you, THANK YOU for the sunshine you’ve bestowed upon us poor Irish folks. I got a tan today, a TAN! Summer is officially here!
But I still have to work. And write. Ick. Writing is like pulling teeth at the moment. I’m doing a challenge on RD, 5 pages a day, [...]

Excitement Abounds

Saturday, May 3rd, 2008

So I got my cover art package for my Vampire Oracle today.
Squeeee!!!!!!!!!!!!
I’m so excited. I can’t stop staring at my book cover in three different sizes, and my button and my avatar and my bookmark and my business card and my desktop image….I love Sable Grey!
Now that I have my cover art package, it’s [...]

Still Writing

Friday, April 18th, 2008

I’m working like a trojan at the moment, editing more than writing. My story is finished, but it needs a serious polishing. That’s always the problem when I write fast-it turns out really, really rough.
But it’s coming together and that’s the most important part.
Okay back to the writing cave now.
Or should I say, editing [...]

The Muse is With Me (Finally!)

Thursday, April 10th, 2008

Um….can you say 26k in three days???
Eek! I don’t know how I managed it. Three days off from work, and I filled them with my work in progress. It’s a menage/shapeshifter/BDSM/twisted fairytale story that I originally expected to be around 15k, but is currently nearing 30k.
I should be finished over the next couple of [...]

Where, Oh Where, has Ava Been?

Thursday, April 3rd, 2008

I’m so bad. So very, very bad.
Not a peep from me since March 20th. That’s insane. My only excuse is that I’ve been busy. But even still, it hardly takes long to write up a few words of a blog post.
Since I last spoke to you, I’ve seen a couple of great movies, read [...]
