Update of the exciting kind!

So I have had a super awesome day. Not only did I wake up to find two contract offers in my in-box this morning, but I also got the release date for Cranberry Blood (Book 1 in The Blood Series.) Yes, you read right I have a release date for the She-Wolf Sequel.

*Drum Roll*

The release date for Cranberry Blood is July 2nd 2012. Yes, it's literally a month and two days away. *Inserts excited/nervous screaming* I'm so so so excited. You may have heard this a million times, but this book is my baby. I wrote the first version of Cranberry Blood in 2009 and after all the awesome feedback from my Beta readers and family I shredded and then created the soon to be published version.

Technically it was my first novel. I know that seems crazy since I've had three manuscripts published before it - not to mention She-Wolf, which is the prequel - but it is actually my first novel and I am super excited that it's getting published in a month! Eek!

My editor has informed me I will have edits by the end of the week. *Bites nails and rocks* Honestly I can't wait for them and I am super excited to see what the amazing Fiona Jayde creates as the cover. Oh my god I'm excited! 

So on that note, here's the blurb for Cranberry Blood:

 Killing Vampires? Easy. Tracking someone? Simple. Helping, and protecting a Vampire slayer... Bloody hard work!

Thirteen years ago, Brendan Daniels made a deal with a psychic. In exchange for information on the whereabouts of a Rogue Werewolf, he promised to help and protect Sofia's granddaughter. Unfortunately, he had no idea what he was getting himself, or his Pack, into.

Nothing about Heather is simple, from her weird dietary needs to her life’s mission. The girl can handle herself, but the promise to protect her soon becomes a need, and one that he can't fully understand.

Vampire Slayer. Born Infected. Blood addict... but not by choice.

Heather Ryan is the most recent slayer in a long family line. Like all before her, she has spent her life searching for her ancestor, Marko Pavel, the Vampire her family has sworn to kill. If that isn't complicated enough, Heather is also a born "Infected", and to keep her from becoming insane or giving in to her darker side, she is on a very strict diet.

Grandmother Sofia has passed, so now it is up to Heather to take the family legacy into her own hands, all alone: or at least, it would have been, if her Grandmother hadn't sent a Werewolf to help her.

What is the irritating Brendan supposed to help Heather with? Sofia never told either one of them. But it doesn't take long for Heather and Brendan to find out that the Vampires have big plans, and that the fiends have waited a long time for them both.
