Drinkable book

Official world wide release for EMBRACED BY FIRE.
This means it'll be available print & eBook from retailers other than Amazon, so non-Amazonians now's your chance :)


Now on with our scheduled program...

Over the years I've linked to some very fancy books:
Books as fashion
Crazy designs - like a recipe book printed on sheets of fresh pasta
Edible books
A 16th century book that opened 6 ways

But this next book though is something special. It provides safe drinking water. The book itself is a guid to safe drinking water - the kicker - the pages can be removed and used as filters, thus creating safe drinking water. Water is Life is a charity organisation that focuses on safe drinking water in the developing world. This book is a project that seeks to combine an educational resource with a practical tool.

How does it work: "Each page is impregnated with silver nanoparticles (which gives the paper its distinctive orange colouring). The nanoparticles don't quite work like a traditional filter. Rather than providing a barrier, they actually kill the bacteria as they pass through the paper. As the water runs through, the bacteria absorb the silver ions, which kill the bacteria." 

The book has enough pages to last about 4 years (depending on usage). So, next time you take a nice cool drink of water, think about the people who aren't so lucky. Then, raise your glass to the people who are trying to make a difference (or become one of them.)

Fire-eaters, Industrial Espionage & Dragons

It's finally out!

Fire-eaters, industrial espionage, undercover agents and dragons -- you know you want some :)
Embraced by Fire is now available on Amazon.

The last thing Ryu McKay needs on a mission to expose a black market information ring is a simmering attraction to his boss. Not only is he undercover, he needs to keep his shape-shifter identity a secret. Despite his desire, he dare not act on his attraction. 

For Kait, excitement and that one special man exist only in her dreams. However, everything changes when Ryu walks into her office looking for a job as a fire-eater. Now she wants nothing more than to turn her dreams into reality. 

Kait's attraction to Ryu grows, but can it survive the secrets he's hiding? Like the fire with which he plays, this man is dangerous.

PS: Sorry, but I'm afraid non-Amazonians will have to wait until March for the worldwide release (print & all other eBook stores).

Vampire novella release date

Woo hoo, release date for my novella REDEMPTION'S KISS ... January 19th 2011.
This story is stand alone but set in the same world as HUMAN WITH A TWIST.
Lauren's been alone for a long time, too long. After all, there are few who understand her condition and need for blood - then she meets Rhys. He seems like a perfect match on all counts, until her bite sends him running.

Rhys thinks he’s met the woman of his dreams, that is until she sinks her teeth into his neck and his dream turns into a nightmare. Now Rhys has a choice to make. Is being with Lauren the biggest mistake of his life? Or is she his salvation?

Coming Soon...
