When Passion Lies at Romance At RandomLotsa stuff today…

I’m over at Romance At Random talking about the lies we tell in celebration of the upcoming releases (next Tuesday!) of When Passion Lies. Come say hi!

And today (May 21) is the last day to enter the contest! Don’t miss out!

And on a personal note, I’m going to be so freaking productive today it will be scary. Really. (I’ll report back.)

Using Scrivener to make .mobi and ePub files (for Kindle and Nook etc.)

I recently mentioned how easy it was to use Scrivener to create the ebook files for The Demon You Know, and several folks asked me to go into more detail.

I am nothing if not cooperative :)

So here, for your viewing pleasure, is a video I made of how to set up Scrivener to make your .mobi files (and the ePub is just about the same). Smashwords files must be created outside of Scrivener, but I’ll post a video on that soon, too. (The Smashwords guide is great, but sometimes just seeing the visual helps).

And, of course, I should point out that the sample I’m using for the video is the raw Scrivener file for Dead Friends and Other Dating Dilemmas, which is brand spanking new on Kindle and the Nook and Smashwords. Only 99 cents, folks. Hope you check it out!

Here’s the hyperlink to YouTube in case the embed isn’t working: http://youtu.be/Ibybm0W9Oj0

I hope the video is helpful! I did the cover for Dead Friends on the fly, and will be posting soon about how I did that. I’m learning as I go and happy to blog about the process. If you have questions or topics related to eBook publishing, formatting and/or marketing, drop me a comment and I’ll see if I can address it!

My first historical! Really!

Yes, yes, yes! More Shadowkeeper books coming out this year (the covers for the next three–this summer–are awesome, and I’ll post on Monday). But I’ve been lax in shouting out about my enovella, MIDNIGHT, which features Caris and Tiberius, star-crossed lovers. I had a bit of a Romeo and Juliet thing going as I wrote the novella. (Amazon calls it a short story…it’s not. It’s a novella. Weird.)

The first book this summer is WHEN PASSION LIES, and it’s Caris and Tiberius’s book. You don’t have to read the novella to enjoy the novel…but I hope you do! I had a great time writing it, and it’s entirely historical. A first for me (well, I wrote in the twenties once–does that count?)

Here’s the blurb for the novella:
Enter J. K. Beck’s thrilling, seductive world of the Shadow Keepers, which New York Times bestselling author Lara Adrian calls “exciting paranormal romance with a sharp, suspenseful edge.”

Carissa de Soranzo will not rest until her kidnapped younger brother has been freed from the nobleman Baloch de Fioro, a fiendish werewolf who means to turn the boy at the next full moon. Against her father’s wishes, Carissa secretly seeks help from the mysterious werewolf hunter Tiberius. Desperate, she promises to do anything if he’ll save her brother—and she can see in his eyes what that will mean.

Dark, strong, and virile, Tiberius cannot resist ravishing the most beautiful woman he’s seen in centuries. But he can never truly have his fill of her, for Tiberius is a vampire. On a quest to trap the werewolf in his den, Tiberius realizes that the only way to rescue Carissa’s brother is to reveal what he truly is. But he risks losing Carissa forever—especially when she discovers that she has given her heart to a vampire.

I hope you check it out. Again, here’s a link to order from Amazon and from B&N.com
