“>Deep in the mighty Himalaya mountain range, Karen Sonnet discovers what happens when you step INTO THE SHADOW.

Hurry. Hurry.

Warlord would know. He would find her.

Hurry ...What was that?

Karen skidded to a halt. She turned. The path stretched behind her, empty, rocky. She saw nothing but the line of the Himalayas etched against the sky, jagged, pristine, indifferent. She listened, but heard nothing but the ever-present wind, the thunder of a distant waterfall, the brief scream of a hawk overhead.

She might not like the mountains, but she knew how to run, and she knew how to hide.

So she needed to hurry.

She turned back with renewed intent, walking briskly between giant stones and through a high mountain meadow. The path dipped ... she heard the soft sound of a footfall ... she swung around again.

She scanned the meadow, and saw only the shadow of a high and distant cloud.

Nevertheless ... she would have sworn that some thing moved through the grass after her. Impossible. It must be the wind that rippled through the flowers.

Yet she would have sworn someone—or something—was watching her.

She turned back to her journey, walked around a corner, and skidded to a stop. ‘Oh, help,’ she whispered.

The path skittered along a cliff above and a two-hundred foot chasm below, and narrowed to only six inches of crumbling rock. Below the raging river chewed at the stones.

Taking a deep breath, she put her back against the cliff and inched forward, one foot over the other, eyes determinedly forward. She took deep, slow breaths. The cool breeze chilled the sheen of sweat on her face. She didn’t want to faint. No, God, please, don’t faint ...

Worse, fear made her hallucinate. She thought someone stood in front of her on the path. Someone who breathed hot breath on her neck.

With infinite care, she turned her head to the side.

Warlord stood there, tall and strong, fierce and furious.

No. Oh, no. It wasn’t possible.

‘You would face this ... rather than me?’ he asked.

‘What do you think?’ Her insolence was instinctive—and misplaced.

For deep in his eyes, red flared, and he said, ‘I think you’ve made a terrible mistake.’

You’ve all been so gloriously patient while waiting for my August release SOME LIKE IT WICKED that I’ve decided to give you a sneak peek at the book. I just posted my very first excerpt over at MY WEBSITE.  (Just visit the HomePage and click READ EXCERPT under the cover graphic for WICKED.)

And while you’re there, you can enter my JUNE CONTEST.  Not to be outdone by our very own Christina Dodd, I’m ALSO giving away an autographed Advanced Reading Copy of SOME LIKE IT WICKED along with an autographed ARC of Christina’s August release INTO THE FLAME, the thrilling conclusion to her “Darkness Chosen” series. (She makes me say that every time I mention the book.  She also makes me introduce her as the “thrilling Christina Dodd” when we go out in public, although occasionally she will settle for “the magnificent Christina Dodd”.)

Once you’re done entering the contest, pop on over to my JUNE NEWSLETTER to read all of the exciting tidbits--the most “thrilling” tidbit is the news that I just finished SOME LIKE IT WILD, the sequel to SOME LIKE IT WICKED!  SOME LIKE IT WILD has been scheduled for March 2009 so you won’t have to wait nearly so long between books.  Good luck in the contest and Happy Reading!

The friendship between authors is a rare and precious thing. We nourish each others’ creativity, laugh at each others’ jokes, gossip and laugh and sympathize … and sometimes, we have books come out in the same month. When that happens, something wonderful occurs — it’s a chance for you to win!

That’s right, I’ve scored not one, but two arcs (advanced reading copies) — an arc of Teresa Medeiro’s August release, SOME LIKE IT WICKED, a Scottish historical romp with that touch of Medeiros magic!

And an arc of my August release INTO THE FLAME, the exciting conclusion of my acclaimed DARKNESS CHOSEN series!

In my June contest, I’m offering both arcs to one lucky winner.

We’re all excited at the henhouse because Liz’s fabulous new romantic comedy FAST AND LOOSE hit the shelves at the beginning of April! 

Here’s a sneak peek:  Thoroughbred trainer Cole Early needs a place to stay while his horse is preparing for the Kentucky Derby. With Louisville booked solid, he snaps up the snug little bungalow his real estate agent miraculously finds.

But it isn’t Lulu’s feng shui that Cole is interested in. Especially after he discovers she’s the mysterious woman whose house is filled with such sensual indulgences. What’s a guy gotta do to bring the passion out of the self-possessed Miss Flannery?

And just when you thought it would be safe to go back into the bookstore again without getting both your funny bone and your heartstrings tickled, Liz’s next romantic comedy OVERNIGHT MALE (the last book in her MALE series) is scheduled for special delivery at the beginning of May!

Dear Friends,
You’ve seen the riveting introduction to my paranormal world, DARKNESS CHOSEN. http://christinadodd.com/index_paranormal.php Now, on my website, the sexy new covers for INTO THE SHADOW and INTO THE FLAME are revealed! http://christinadodd.com/para_books.php

Drool over these magnificent warriors, walk down memory lane with the first two books, SCENT OF DARKNESS and TOUCH OF DARKNESS, then read the brand-new excerpts of INTO THE SHADOW and INTO THE FLAME!

Of course if you do, you’ll be cranky because the excepts will whet your appetite, and you’ll have to wait for July and August to read the exciting conclusion of Darkness Chosen.

So maybe you should be strong and not read the excerpts at all. You don’t want to wonder if the Wilders break the evil pact that binds their souls. You don’t want to speculate whether Adrik is alive or why Firebird is so angry at the father of her baby. You especially don’t want to imagine what kind of romance and excitement is in store as you follow the adventures of these mysterious, sexy shapeshifters who can steal a woman’s heart even as they battle the devil himself.

Do you?

Heh. Heh. Heh.

Please feel free to spread the torment … er, I mean, forward this email to your friends!

Warmly,
Christina Dodd
