The Huntsman's Prey (Teaser)

Touching her was like trying to grab hold of lightning. Volts of raw power seemed to explode from her flesh into his and he sucked in a sharp breath, as for a split second, his world came unbalanced~ The Huntsman's Prey, coming VERY, VERY SOON!!!

And to whet your whistle even more, enjoy gazing at Chris Hemsworth as the Huntsman. (You're welcome) *g*

The Huntsman's Prey, sneak peek part 1

AS I'm nearing completion of this book, I've decided to start sharing some sneak peeks, because I always think those things are so much fun! :D

In this book you'll find some familiar faces, Hatter and Alice, but I've also introduced some new ones that you should know, but they're quite different from the stories you've read of them before. I am having a BLAST writing this book, it's been so much fun getting back into Wonderland, made me realize just how much I missed the absolute oddity of this place. So without further ado, one of my favorite paragraphs so far!

Back at the bar an obscenely large man with folds upon folds for a neck, shook his head. Causing his rolls to quiver. Something about the way the man moved, in a waddling up and down sort of motion had Aeric thinking of a walrus—that and the way his front two teeth curved out of his swollen pink lips like curled tusks. Adjusting his black frock coat, he snorted. “Who invited the mundane?”

Hmm….. I wonder who that is? ;) Yes, I'm having way too much fun with this book, and hopefully that means you guys will too!

Happy hump day!

BEHOLD… the imp

Rumpelstiltskin has never looked this good. I dunno gals and guys, I may just have to keep this bad boy to myself. The Huntsman is good, but I'm a little afraid this imp might just be stealing the show. Or maybe just my heart. :p

;)

Marie

I just couldn't take it!!

I love Rumpelstiltskin just way too much, and realized, duh Marie!!! He's perfect for one of the bad girls. He is getting his own story, and it's gonna be with Gerard and Betty's daughter Shayera! I've already outlined the story, it's called Rumple's Prize, book 2 of the Dark Princess Saga!

I CANNOT wait to show you the cover art for that one!! ;)

Hugs and love,
~Marie

UPDATE ALERT

Huntsman is now at 50% done and can I just say… I introduced a new character. Hubba hubba… meet Rumpelstiltskin.

What, he doesn't look impish enough for you??

Oh, well trust me he totally is. He just so happens to come in a prettier package is all. ;)

And yes, he does ride a motorcycle in Kingdom and no, he doesn't care that it's loud or others may not like it. He's so villainous I may just have to write him his own story one day. I'm crushing just a wee bit right now, can you tell? ;)

Happy reading!

WHEW, it's been a while since I updated this!

But if you all want me to hurry up and feed your habit *wink* then I'm gonna probably be in this writing cave for awhile.

Anyway, a quick update before I head back to the thoughts in my head…

The Huntsman's Prey is now 30% done
All Hallows Night is now 10% done
Tor and Jaime 10% done
Synnergy is done, just needs to be edited

Whew!!! What a schedule, y'all are putting me through my paces! LOL

Happy reading,
~Marie

After much thought and consideration

This is my release schedule. Of course, all dependent on real life not mucking around with my plans as it often wants to do. *shakes fist*

Thank you to everyone who chimed in on the informal poll. I took everything into consideration. So, I guess you should all know I've been working (simultaneously *I know grimace*) on all 4 books at once. Which is something I often do because I must seriously have ADD since it's so hard for me to stay focused on one world for too long. But in the spirit of learning to stay more focused in 2014 here is my tentative (stressing that word here) release schedule.

Feb~ The Huntsman's Prey
Mar~Jaime and Tor (still don't have a working title for that one)
April~All Hallows Night
Jun~ Death's Redemption (sequel to Death's Lover)
July 31~Howlers Moon


(Because Pandora is a trilogy I plan to immediately set to work on the final book of the series: Howlers Moon right after releasing AHN) That one will likely release at the end of July because Death's Redemption is being put out by a NY publishing house contractually I'm not allowed to release anything a month prior or month after that release. Which is why the end of July release of Pandora.)

The rest of 2014 will be devoted to releasing the rest of the Dark Princess novels. There were five bad boys of Kingdom novels, there will be five Dark Princesses too)

So how's that look for you guys? Hope it works for you, I'm thinking it works for me. :D

Again, this is all tentative. I cannot control real life and things do happen that put me off my well intended path, but barring anything grave or unforeseen there is my release schedule. I'm doing this here because so often I get emails asking when this or that book is going to be released… so this is me letting all you wonderful people out there know what's up in the world of moi! :)

Happy reading,
~Marie
