Bestseller Lists and Blood Heir’s Future
New York Times BLOOD HEIR is #5 on Combined Print and Ebook List. New York Times is a very prestigious list.

We don’t have

Of Birds and Names, Ferocious Nature of
Names are very important to writers. For example, we were trying to name a Russian noble for RUBY FEVER and it turned out to be a two-hour endeavor. Because Russian Imperium is alive and well in the world of Hidden Legacy, the traditions of dvoryani, Russian aristocracy, are also alive and well, which makes things

Types of Shapeshifters in Kate Daniels World
This came up in the fan forum, so I am reposting it here to clarify some things. A word of caution: we are dealing with very wide categories to make sense of a complicated fictional world.

Four Cups of Coffee
My hands have been steadily getting worse. I have finger pain, knuckle pain, pain in the center of the palm, pain in the thumb joint. The hands hurt. I’ve tried creams and over the counter painkiller, and making sad eyes at Gordon, so he would rub my hands, which he does, but none of it
