As part of a fun exercise by the Romance Divas, I’m taking part in Except Monday, a once a month excerpt-fest.
Below is an excert from The Scroll Thief: a Tale of Ithian, which features Halia and Trask. Beneath that are some links to some of the other wonderful excerpts available today.
I’ve just signed the contract for The Wolf’s Mate, the sequel to The Wolf’s Sister.
We’re talking about releasing 1 & 2 as a single print volume after epub, and then my writing the third part as a short novel! More details as and when I have them.
Just got word that Soul Fire will be released from Samhain on the 7th July this year as an ebook. The print version should follow about 10 months later, all being well. So here’s the blurb:
Iron born and iron bred. Trust not iron, it will see you dead.
Rowan Blake could really use a magic wand to keep her struggling art gallery afloat. But the faerie key she stumbles across is far from a lucky charm. It’s a magnet for danger, and by touching it she’s unwittingly put herself in the middle of a war between the forces of light and dark. And in the arms of its rightful owner, Prince Daire.
While searching for his brother, Daire finds himself trapped in the Iron World with a mere mortal woman who ignites his passion like no other. Each stolen kiss deepens their attraction and sends him spiraling closer and closer to the edge of his inherent dark desires. Desires that act as a homing beacon for the Dark Sidhe, who are intent on forcing him to fight on their side.
The longer he lingers in her arms—and in her bed—the closer his enemies get to her door. And the greater the risk that the gateway to the Faerie Realm will shift, destroying not only his power to protect her, but his very life.

4 glasses of wine (sounds good to me and I will emulate this evening!) out of 5.
“If you’re looking for an imaginative read then I recommend fantasy author R.F. Long! … Arcane magic and shapeshifters keep the story a page-turner and twists are around every corner. Goddesses tend to do that, though.”
Woo-hoo! Many thanks Natalie.
I’m guest blogging today at Danielle Devon’s site “Minding the Muse” on the subject of Fantasy Romance, what it means to me and how I got around to writing it.
Come by and comment.

Megan Hurst’s life has taken some unexpected turns: First she loses her heart to the dashing hero of a novel. And then she meets an amnesia victim who seems just like him.
The mysterious stranger needs her help to piece his past together, and the closer the two become, the more questions arise about his resemblance to a “fictional” character.
Megan’s romantic feelings and her bizarre suspicions bring her to an impossible question… Has she dreamed the Duke to life?
