WeWriWa: Sink Your Teeth into a Midnight Redeemer SALE - $0.99!


I love smart men and women playing dangerous cat and mouse games. But which one is playing which role? Scientist Stacy Kimball is looking for a cure for the blood disease that will eventually kill her, as it did her mother. Mysterious philanthropist Louis Redman could provide her funding . . . and the answer to immortality. All she needs is a sample of his rare blood type. What Stacy doesn’t know is they share the same driving interest. He wants her blood, too. Here’s a peek at MIDNIGHT REDEEMER.

 The Excerpt 

Stacy shuffled through the pictures once again, her breath quickening with agitation, for in each numbered square, one figure was conspicuously missing.

Louis Redman didn’t like to have his picture taken, not because he wasn’t photogenic, but because he didn’t show up on film.

“Sensitivity to light, my hind leg,” she muttered, studying the oddly empty photos, her stomach tightened with alarm and more strongly, with excitement.

Piece by piece, she was gathering evidence that Louis Redman was . . . what? A creature of the night, the undead? Her scientific mind rebelled against those superstitious labels as the toothsome image of Nosferatu played against more basic reason. But he was something, all right, something not quite natural that presented both threat and promise tied up in a mysterious and attractive package.

She would start unwrapping those layers tonight.

Until then, she would learn all she could about the sample from the dead girl. 

Results that proved startling, and exciting . . . and unbelievable.

I loved writing this book because it’s got a bit of everything I like to read: A paranormal love story, a Who Done It mystery, Frankenscience ethics, sneaky government ops, and a return of characters and complications I adored from previous books (You don’t have to have read them to appreciate them here). And a setting that’s almost another character – Seattle-the site of my first romance writers’ conference waaaay way back. All this for only $0.99 through the end of the month!

Midnight Redeemer (Touched by Midnight Series - Book 6)

Published: May 3, 2011
Length: 196 Pages

Besides this fantastic sale, I’m updating (not rewriting!) the books in my “By Moonlight” series that I’ve gotten the rights back to. Talk about walking in two very different worlds. Vampires or Shapeshifters – which is your favorite?


I plan to spend the rest of this sunshiny hint of spring day visiting your excerpts before the cats start yowling for their first trip into the great outdoors (need a few more degrees for that! Try telling them that!)

Happy Spring! Write On, fellow Warriors!!

    1. Quite the process, indeed. And cats, sigh. Spring will bring relief from their yeowling.

  2. It would have to be unnerving to see pictures in which you knew a person was there, but they didn't show up on the film. I love that she takes it so calmly, actually getting excited by the mystery. Great character building! Tweeted.

  6. I agree with Jenna. It would be more unnerving having images where you know the person is supposed to be there. He is keeping her guessing.
