Hi, fellow werewolf fans!

I just wanted to let you know that Cie and I just closed a new THREE-book deal with Tor Books!  We get to write anything we want to, and they'll ALL be published in 2006!  We're very excited, because they offered us more money with a bunch of it at the time we sign the contract!  WHOO-HOO!  We know that two of them will continue in the "Sazi" werewolf world that Hunter's Moon started!



Cyber-champagne and chocolates all around!  (Tomorrow we'll start to worry about actually *writing* the books, but for today -- WHO CARES!)  Haha!

Cheers!

Cathy

Congratulations Cathy and Cie!

Hi Cie, I think you'll have about 6 forum members with copies of your book now/soon, so hopefully they'll be posting after they read it.  My Sister read the book and can't wait for "Moon's Web" to come out.

I loved the first one....I can't wait for the second....::::hands begin to shake as I realize August is far away:::: I'm a biblioholic....oh no...I'm going into sazi withdrawal....:::pulls on my ears...woosah...woosah::::

That will just be a tease Cie...LOL!! J/k....I'm just bad with the waiting part...

Cie and Cathy, are the titles for book 3 and book 4 in the series planned out yet?

Hi Cie, yes, Figarou is here, hopefully he'll see this post (I left him a message in his forum).  Sounds like you are really busy with writing deadlines, sounds like a lot of work.  When you get a chance, can you tell us a bit abut your newest Sazi novel "Captive Moon" and your non Sazi novel "Touch of Evil"?

Ah, we haven't had one yet.  Basically, most of the signings and such got put on hold when Cathy got bitten repeatedly by a brown recluse on the upper thigh.  Caused some nasty problems, despite the fact that she caught it early.  Then being down sick made deadlines zoom up at us... so it's been a little nuts! She's doing fine now (thank goodness). Promise promise to tell you as soon as we can schedule one down there. 

Yeah, it really knocked her for a loop!  But she's bouncing back. 

Hmnnn.  I was thinking (always dangerous -- grin).  Maybe I'll check with Cathy and see if we can post a little "taste" of the two upcoming books.  I'll get back to you here about it!

Cie

Can you explain what a "POD" book is.

Thank you for that post Cie, that is very, very interesting.  Are POD books the same price as regular books?  Or more expensive?  Do they look like regular books?  I am also hearing A LOT about e-books now.

Hi, guys!

Finally making it back into the forum (for some reason, I've been locked out for many days.  Whatever you did, Jim, seems to have worked, because I could log in this time! )  Anyhoo, thanks for the well wishes on my icky bite.  For the morbid among you (and I know there ARE some ,) here's what my leg looked like after about the third day and for the next month.

 

Major PITA, that.   Fortunately, no scar tissue or skin grafts needed, and I hear that's pretty common.  Thankfully, I headed straight to the ER when I realized it was a bite and acting strange.  The doc said that probably saved a chunk of my leg.  He said I was "proactive."  You know what the difference between being paranoid and being proactive is, don't you?  You're "proactive" when you're RIGHT about what you were paranoid about!  LOL!

I got either two or three bites in the same location.  They're not quite sure, but there were a total of five holes.  Steriods, antibiotics and the like for several months.  But I'm pretty much back to normal, except for a small bruise that will probably stay for some time.

Sorry about San Antonio, Figarou!  We're still hoping to make it down there, depending on our schedules.  It's a little hard, because I raise livestock with my hubby, and he's out of town.  So I can't do overnight trips for awhile.  But maybe we can set something up for next month.  I'll call the store and see what's available.

Now, Cie and I wanted to let you guys know that we just finished the August Sazi manuscript.  As stated above, it's called Captive Moon, and is a bit different than our first two books.  First, it's in third person POV, rather than first person, and it's not about Tony and his pack.  We're starting to expand the world.  For those who have read Moon's Web, the new book will feature Antoine Monier, the French councilman for the werecats, and a Turkish-American weretiger.  It's set in Stuttgart, Germany (since our editor asked for a European setting).  We HAVE done something very different, though.  We've done entire chapters in the VILLAIN'S point of view, so the reader gets to know things are afoot, even though you don't know what will happen to the people.  If you're interested, we could post the first couple of chapters here so you can see what you think.  Let me know!  Oh, and we can also post the first couple of Touch of Evil, our March release.  That's been though editing, and is ready to go.  Captive will be the raw words, straight off the monitor. 

Thanks again for the well-wishes! 

Cathy

Cathy, what terrible spider bites, that looks like it was so painful!  Glad you are feeling better and glad you got into the ER right away.  Did you put a bounty out on that spider?  I would have, wow!  Yes, please post whatever you would like on the site here.  And if you want to open a new forum for "Captive Moon" that would be great too.  3rd person from the villian's point of view, very interesting.  Oh, glad you were able to log in o.k., don't know what that was about, but you had me really concerned over the past day, glad that's better for ya now.
