Not over, but we continue on.

I flew back from Vancouver only to find myself in the inferno that is Boston. I think the temperatures are supposed to break by Sunday, but we spent yesterday morning installing a new air conditioner (blasting now on high), and basically just taking it easy.
Thank you so much for all the kind words regarding my grandmother. I appreciate them more than I can say. The service was small, but beautiful, and there was a great deal of love throughout the day.
Tomorrow I have a signing here in Boston — at Comicopia from 12 PM – 1:30 PM. I’ll sign novels, comics, anything you like — so please stop by! The address is 464 Commonwealth Ave #13, Boston, MA 02215-2734, and here is the store website: http://www.comicopia.com/
Finally, my grandmother loved to garden — and she had the most incredible roses behind her home. Huge, lush, roses that she had cultivated for years (before the Alzheimer’s) and that continued to bloom even when they no longer had her constant touch. There’s no way to take them with me, but they were in full bloom the morning of the funeral.
A pyrokinetic and former car thief, Eddie cannot refuse an assignment to cross the continent in order to rescue an extraordinary woman in peril…even though he fears losing control of the destructive power of flame at his fingertips.
The last of her shape-shifting kind, Lyssa hides in the abandoned tunnels beneath Manhattan. Like Eddie, fire is her weapon, her destiny…and her curse. For beneath Lyssa’s extraordinary beauty are dangerous secrets…and even darker, nearly irresistible urges... (November 2011)
When the bond Maxine Kiss shares with Zee and the boys-the demons tattooed on her skin-is deliberately severed, the hunter is left vulnerable and unprotected. For the first time in ten thousand years, the boys have a taste of freedom-without Maxine’s guiding influence.
As they grow more violent and unpredictable, Maxine starts to fear the little demons will lose their minds without their attachment to her. But reuniting won’t be easy, as a great temptation waits for her little demons : a chance to return to their lives….and unleash hell on earth. (December 2011)
