Robin Maderich is my fellow Inara author and creator of Emerald Twilight, the very first Seron Serial! 

Here’s a blurb:

Hallandra Irese, once-proud member of the Clan Ser Irese, finds herself incarcerated on the prison planet known as The Emerald, a mysterious planet about which rumors abound but little is known.   Twice betrayed and desperate to prove her innocence, she discovers an unlikely ally in the dark Drifter, Burke Conlan, a man who has never been innocent in his life and who harbors desperate secrets of his own…

For more about Emerald Twilight, check out the VERY cool site devoted to the serial:  http://www.seronserials.com/emeraldtwilight/

Robin has other books, too.  You can read all about her and her writing at: http://www.robinmaderich.com/

Come and chat with us on Monday, April 3rd as we celebrate her release and the grand opening of Inara Press at Suite Escape!  We will have contests, excerpts – I’ve read Robin’s excerpts, they’re good :) — and we will be answering all your questions! 

I’m so excited!  I can’t wait for the big day!

Inara’s Grand Opening & Contest

Posted under Just Everyday Stuff by nitawick blog on Wednesday 29 March 2006 at 8:33 pm

Here is the official press release from Inara Press about the grand opening.  Included in the grand opening is a second contest including some great prizes!  The grand prize in this one is a Serial Pass!  A Serial Pass gives you each and EVERY season of the serial for as many seasons as are published for free!  

So check out all the info about Inara’s Grand Opening and don’t forget to enter!  

The adventure begins April 3-9 with the official opening of Inara Press, an innovative new publisher specializing in speculative and historical romance fiction. Offering dynamic single-title and serialized stories from extraordinary authors, and featuring fantastic covers that put the “art” back in “cover art,” Inara Press further distinguishes itself from the publishing pack by catering to readers who like a little spice in their romance without stronger, erotic descriptions. 

During its grand opening week, Inara Press invites readers to come and explore their catalog of new and upcoming releases, and to automatically register for free “Serial Passes” by signing up for their official newsletter. (See below for details.) 

Founded in 2005 by publisher, artist and author Dawn Seewer, Inara Press offers “romance beyond imagination,” with historicals and a wide range of today’s most popular speculative-fiction categories: fantasy, science fiction, horror, time-travel, vampires, shapeshifters, ghostly phenomena and more. “We publish books that blend elements of the paranormal, fantastic, and mysterious with sensual tales that stir the reader’s mind as well as their heart,” Seewer says. 

While there are plenty of publishers that can make the same assertion, Inara Press offers readers romance and sensuality without crossing into erotica. Inara Press titles feature a variety of heat levels, ranging from the sweet to the sizzling, with all the heavy sexual tension and tasteful graphic detail in between that readers crave. 

Inara Press will be introducing its single-title novels in electronic and paperback formats later this year, but opens its bookstore doors with its signature line of Seron Serials. These novella-length tales are told in 12 installments, delivered each week to subscribing readers. 

In the introductory Seron Serials title, a science-fiction thriller, EMERALD TWILIGHT, by Robin Maderich, available April 3, Hallandra Irese, once-proud member of the Clan Ser Irese, finds herself incarcerated on the prison planet known as The Emerald. Twice betrayed and desperate to prove her innocence, she discovers an unlikely ally in the dark Drifter, Burke Conlan, a man who has never been innocent in his life and who harbors desperate secrets of his own. 

Other upcoming titles through the Seron line include RESURRECTION, by Sara Reinke, available April 6, in which a young man has the ability to raise the dead. When his touch resurrects the woman of his dreams–and attracts the interest of a sadistic serial killer–all hell is about to be raised. 

The historical romance, CELTIC HEART, by Jennifer D. Bokal, will be available April 11. The Celts have defeated the Roman invaders and captured their leader. The gods would be pleased. Maeve, daughter of the great Druid, is given the task of healing the Roman, a handsome soldier named Antonius. Would Maeve find him to be a cruel tyrant driven only by conquering the world? Or would she find an honorable man who could heal old wounds and give her the comfort she desires? 

In the time-traveling romp, THE ADVENTURES OF RANSOM AND FORTUNE, available April 12, author Michelle Miles introduces us to Skye Ransom, the determined daughter of a murdered time-machine inventor, and Dane Fortune, the hit man who loves her–and has been hired to kill her. It’s time to get your adventure on. 

And in SWORD AND SHADOW, a paranormal fantasy by Saje Williams available April 14, a legendary vampire hero on a mission and Valerie Winn, his young ingenue partner, discover that sometimes the heart makes its own rules. 

All Seron Serials are available for $5.50 per 12-week subscription, and like your favorite televisions series, will continue on with recurring character and settings for multiple seasons to come. 

Throughout the month of April, readers will have the chance to win multiple “Serial Pass” subscriptions from Inara Press by registering to receive the official newsletter, Inara Press News. Signing up is easy. Just visit www.inarapress.com and complete the newsletter subscription form on the home page. 

On the day each Seron Serials title is released during April, Inara Press will select one winner at random from their newsletter subscribers to receive a free “Serial Pass.” The Serial Pass is an all-access free subscription to the serial released on that date. The winner of this pass will receive each and every 12-week season (and installment) of that serial for free! In addition, two runner-ups will receive a free subscription to that title’s Season One! 

If you’re a reader eager for a new, romantic adventure, look no further than Inara Press–where adventure is just a click away and romance is always beyond imagination. 

*No purchase necessary to win. You must be 18 years or older to enter. By entering you are agreeing to receive email notifications from Inara Press that relate to this giveaway. If you wish to also be notified of other events and giveaways please subscribe to the Inara Press newsletter at http://www.inarapress.com Inara Press does not share, rent, sell or otherwise distribute email addresses or personal information to third parties. 

* “Serial Pass” giveaways includes all current and upcoming releases for indicated serials. This does not include any special edition releases of said serial, reruns of said serial, spin-off serials or other work (serials or single titles) by the author. The “Serial Pass” will be honored during the current run only. All other runs, issues or releases are not eligible.

Suite Magazine chat & contests

Posted under Just Everyday Stuff by nitawick blog on Tuesday 21 March 2006 at 6:27 pm

Well, I don’t have all the details yet.  There are still a few wrinkles to be ironed out, but I will tell you what I do know.

Inara Press will be having a publisher chat week at Suite Magazine’s online chat boards, Suite Escape.
First let me say this– Don’t worry!  It’s not the kind of chat where the messages roll by so fast you can’t read them.  It is also not the kind where you must be there during any specific couple of hours in order to participate.

I know many of you are familiar with Yahoo groups and those of you who aren’t, let me assure you that they are very user friendly.

Here’s how it will work:  First, you must sign up at this link:
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/suite_escape/ 
 

Please be sure to sign up at least a day or two early.  You must be approved to join, so you will not be able to join in on the conversation or eligible for prizes unless you join.

Next, when the Inara Press chat begins, all of the Seron Serial authors will be around to answer your questions and tell you about the individual series sometime during the week of April 2nd through April 8th.

Here’s the schedule:
Sun, Apr 2: Heather Fowler& Saje Williams
Mon, Apr 3: Nita Wick & Robin Maderich
Tues, Apr 4: Mary Alice Pritchard & Rochelle Weber
Wed, Apr 5: Sara Reinke & Jennifer Bokal
Thurs, Apr 6:  Nita Wick & Mary Alice Pritchard
Fri, Apr 7: Heather Fowler & Jennifer Bokal 
Sat, Apr 8: Michelle Miles & Sara Reinke
 

Each day there will be prizes! Inara will be giving away Reader Reward points (more info on that later) and most of the authors are planning on offering additional prizes as well. I will be giving away a Faerie Dust Gift set like the one found on my home page and contest page at my site: www.nitawick.com
 

So go ahead and sign up at the Suite Escape group.  You can’t participate if you don’t join.
I’ll have more details on prizes soon.  I will also tell you about what some of the other authors serials are all about!

Finished!

Posted under Just Everyday Stuff by nitawick blog on Monday 20 March 2006 at 9:51 pm

Yippee!  WooHoo!  I’m dancing a jig.  I just finished How Faerie Dust is Made and sent the last chapter to my editor. 

What a relief!  I finished almost a month before my deadline, too.  The official deadline was April 16th to submit the first draft of each installment to my editor.  Then my editor has a week to edit and submit the finished edits to proof (till April 23rd.)  The proofing was supposed to have been finished by April 30th. 

Well, my editor finished installments 1-8 almost two weeks ago.  Now 9-11 are just awaiting the final check, so really all that’s left is installment 12.  Plus, the managing editor is proofing and she has already proofed chapters 1-7.  So I feel very confident this whole thing will be finished a full month ahead of schedule.  Yeah!!! 

That gives me an extra month to work on Season Two.  LOL!  No rest for the weary!

New toy

Posted under Just Everyday Stuff by nitawick blog on Sunday 19 March 2006 at 10:03 pm

I got a new toy today!  Well, it’s not really a toy.  But you would think so by how excited I was. 

I am now the proud owner of an HP Officejet 6210 All-in-One printer, fax, and scanner.  WooHoo! 

It was time to buy new cartridges for the old printer, and my scanner had stopped working over a year ago.  And ever since we went to cable internet, I haven’t been able to send a fax from home because I didn’t want to buy the software or service. 

So now all those problems are fixed.  I can once again fax and scan. It’s not the best model or anything.  It’s the medium grade — 1200×2400 dpi, 23 ppm black and white, 18 ppm color.  

Well, I’ve been “testing” it all afternoon.  I had to send a fax.  And, of course, I needed to make a few postcards.  LOL! 

I guess I’d better get to work now.  I have one chapter left to write and I want to have it done by tomorrow afternoon.

Vacation!

Posted under Just Everyday Stuff by nitawick blog on Saturday 18 March 2006 at 10:37 am

I stayed up late last night working on stuff.  I was writing, editing and answering emails about promo stuff.   But that was okay because I slept in this morning!  

I’ve always been a bit of a night owl anyway, so that works great for me.  I’m in heaven right now — a whole week without the alarm clock!  WooHoo!

Comments

Posted under Just Everyday Stuff by nitawick blog on Friday 17 March 2006 at 11:48 am

Hey!  I just wanted to let everybody know that I changed the settings so that y’all can leave comments more easily.  I took off the registration requirement so you don’t have to do that to post a comment.

This is all still new to me.  You’ll have to forgive me if I haven’t figured out all the shortcuts yet.  :o)

Two more days…

Posted under Just Everyday Stuff by nitawick blog on Wednesday 15 March 2006 at 10:19 pm

Just two more days until I’m on vacation.  And, boy, do I need it.  LOL!  All this excitement and writing and promo stuff is really cutting into my beauty sleep. 

I tried to join in on the Historical Author Chat tonight, but there were so many people and authors there, I couldn’t get a word in.  I even tried to prompt one of the other Inara authors.  I don’t think she ever saw my post.  Everything was going by so quickly.  I read pretty fast, but not like that!  Sheesh! There must have been 20 or more authors there.  Everybody was talking at once.  Total chaos! When I started getting a headache, I decided I’d had enough.

Well, maybe the next one will go better.  I think we will only have two or three authors.  That should make things a little easier.  Now if we can just make sure there are enought readers there to ask us questions…

My cheeks are sore.

Posted under Just Everyday Stuff by nitawick blog on Tuesday 14 March 2006 at 1:59 pm

My cheeks are sore from smiling so much over my cover art. Seriously.  I’m not kidding.  My cheeks are sore.  I just love it! It’s beautiful. 

I’ve been so excited over the cover art that the hectic pace hasn’t bothered me too much, but sometimes I think I need a clone.  Wow, has it been busy!  Most of last night I was filling out an interview questionnaire and answering email.  At 10:30 I was folding laundry that I didn’t get to Sunday because I spent the whole day working on writing, editing, and stuff.  By stuff, I mean mostly promo work.  Requesting interviews and reviews, choosing excerpts.  Whew!  And I’ve got a husband and two teenagers who aren’t fond of skipping meals.  LOL!  They want supper even if I’m not finished with my edits. 

Well, lunchtime is almost over and I need to re-apply my lipstick.  Wait, re-apply may not be right.  I was so busy answering emails this morning before work I don’t think I ever applied any in the first place.

Oh, well, who needs lipstick when I have this big grin plastered all over my face?
