New Zombie Title!

July 3, 2010 on 3:15 pm | In Writing | 9 Comments

My fab editor at Kensington came up with a great title for the third and final military paranormal romance (aka “zombie”) book. It’s going to be called DEAD ALERT. What do you think of that?

So there are/will be 5 zombie stories in all – 2 novellas and 3 novels – in the following order:

“Simon Says” in the HALF PAST DEAD anthology – available now
ONCE BITTEN, TWICE DEAD – available now
“Smoke On The Water” in THE BEAST WITHIN anthology – Halloween 2010
A DARKER SHADE OF DEAD – November 2010
DEAD ALERT – 2011

I may write more zombie stories at some point in the future but I kind of want to get on to other things as soon as I’m done with this last book. I’m writing it now and it’s high adventure with a heroine and hero who are pilots. It’ll all come to a head in this book and be resolved, so there’s a lot of satisfaction in writing a book that wraps everything up.

July is nose to the grindstone time to finally finish this book. Then it’s on to other things. Right now I’m working on a proposal for a new dragon shapeshifter series – a contemporary one this time that will be a little darker and less “erotic” than the current dragon series I have with Samhain. I’ll let you know if/when anything comes of it. I’m also tossing around a few other ideas but nothing concrete yet.

As for my Samhain books… I will have more in the future, I just need time to write them. As soon as this contract is fulfilled for the last of the zombie books, I’ll probably take a little time to play with various projects I have in progress and work on whatever appeals to me at the time. I love having that kind of freedom with my Samhain books. I’m not sure what to tackle first – the last of the Resonance Mates books, a new dragon story, maybe some vamps or weres…

Best not to get too far ahead of myself. I have a zombie book to finish first. Wish me luck! :)
