Oooh, lots of news. My two favorites…I’m on Kindle and a new release.
Ellora’s Cave books are being put into the Kindle format and at least six my titles are available. There are more to come. They are loading EC’s back list alphabetically so my dragon books are there along with Christmas Elf (a holiday treat) and Close Quarters.
And the other big news is Taking Shape is being re-released in e-format on January 1, 2010. Great way to start the New Year! Taking Shape was originally released in the anthology Transformations. Nick is shapeshifter who can turn into anything (or anyone) he touches. He finds himself in some interesting situations while trying to prove the delectable Tally isn’t a criminal. It’s funny and sexy and good fun.
Beyond that, I’m almost ready to submit the next werewolf book to my editor. And crazy stories are popping into my head. They might be to irreverent to write but I’ll have to see.
Don’t forget, I’m on Facebook and I have a new blog.
Like I said, lots of news.
Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays!
October 2009
It’s Fall (almost winter in Alaska). It’s turning chilly and crisp and the best news…Jackson’s Rise is out! Released October 7 from Ellora’s Cave, it’s time for Jax to meet his mates. Jackson’s Rise is part of my werewolf series which started off with New Year’s Kiss, followed by Summer’s Caress and Maxwell’s Fall.
I’ve really been enjoying these characters and the world. So much so, that I’m working on the next book in the series. The working title is Moonlight’s Shadow and it’s the tale of Kiki, sister to Mikhel, Max and Jax. I’m about half-way through the writing, then we’ll see what my editor thinks. I’m hoping to have it done and submitted by the end of November.
Beyond that, I’m working on some revisions of Marvin’s tale and a couple of smaller stories that have been nagging me to finish.
Last month, I got a wild notion and re-read two of my books—Dragon’s Rise and Dragon’s Fire. It’s been years since I’ve picked these up and I loved returning to that world. Now I’ve got dragons stomping around my brain again and that’s always good fun.
Enjoy the Autumn colors!
August 2009
It’s been a busy summer and it’s staying that way! Lots going on…Maxwell’s Fall is coming out this month. Mark your calendars, August 26! Maxwell’s Fall is a sequel to New Year’s Kiss and Summer’s Caress. It stars one of the twins (Max, obviously) who you met in Summer’s Caress. Max ends up impersonating his twin brother, Jax, and falls for the woman he thinks Jax is destined to marry. And yes, it’s a m/m/f ménage story so Jax’s best friend gets involved and then they all get “involved” and wow does it get hot. Good fun!

Other News
Marvin’s story is submitted to my editor and I’m nervously waiting (tap, tap, tap) for her reaction. I think it’s good fun (and really sexy). We’ll have to see what she thinks.
And I’ve started a new story. The working title is “Moonlight’s Shadow” but that could change. It’s another in the werewolf/ménage series. This is about one of Mikhel’s sisters, Kiki. She’s a very untypical werewolf but it only takes the right touch to bring out her animal’s wild side.

I’ve also started a Fan page which you can access from my main profile.

The number one question I’ve received over the last two years is “when’s Dragon’s Prey coming out in print?” And now I have an answer…it’s Here! Dragon’s Prey is available in print. Just follow the link. I’m really excited about it and love the new cover!
More stories…Kissing Stone is now available from Ellora’s Cave. It’s the re-release of a story that was originally in the Irish Enchantment Anthology. It’s about a shy woman who ends up with a piece of the Blarney Stone. She kisses it and suddenly she’s saying and doing things she never thought she could…including seducing the man she’s been lusting after for months. It’s good fun. I wrote it back in 2003 so my style has changed a bit but I enjoyed it when I re-read it.
I’ve been teasing you with promises of more werewolves and now for the pay off. Maxwell’s Fall and Jackson’s Rise are done and in the queue for release. Maxwell’s Fall should be out late August. No release date yet for Jackson’s Rise. Check out the Coming Soon page here for the cover and blurbs. I’ve just started work on a story about one of their sisters, Kiki and her heroes are yummmmmy.
And Marvin’s story is almost done. If you read Fairy Dust, you might remember Marvin…he’s the sympathetic second in command for Fairy Tale Land. Well, he’s got his own story and dang me, but it’s smokin’. I’m sitting with a glass of ice water throughout the editing process.
Don’t forget to find me on Facebook. I keep things pretty up to date there. I’ve got book covers and some other bits posted. Please be my friend at facebook.com/tiellestclare
Have fun and stay cool!

The big news…somebody play a drum roll please…Dragon’s Prey is coming to print! I don’t have a release date but it’s on the Spring/Summer print schedule. I’m very happy about that and thank you to everyone who has written asking about its print release. Once I have an actual release date, I’ll send out a message to my email list (if you aren’t already on the list, send me a note to tielle@tiellestclare.com.)
Also, Maxwell’s Fall and Jackson’s Rise are through the editing process. Don’t have release dates yet but it’s getting closer. The covers have been done and are verrrry sexy. As soon as I get permission to reveal them, I’ll post them here and on my Facebook page. Maxwell’s Fall and Jackson’s Rise are the sequels to New Year’s Kiss and Summer’s Caress. Both are hot (really hot if I do say so myself) ménage werewolf stories about Mikhel’s twin brothers.
Beyond that, I’m writing a sequel to Fairy Dust (which I think is freakin’ hilarious…we’ll see what my editor thinks, eh?) and working on several new smaller projects.
Have a great summer. Stay Cool!
January 2009
First, check out the new releases…I have a story in Ellora’s Cavemen: Jewels of the Nile IV. The title is Mating Run and it’s short and sexy and lots of fun.
Speaking of werewolf books, the sequels to New Year’s Kiss and Summer’s Caress are almost here. No release dates as of yet but they have titles…Maxwell’s Fall and Jackson’s Rise. These continue the stories of characters met in Summer’s Caress—Mikhel’s brothers, twins Max and Jax. The books are filled with action, a little humor and well, lots of steamy sex. Each twin gets a chance to find his mates in an unlikely place.
And I’m working on a follow up to Fairy Dust. More about that once my editor gets over the shock of what I’ve done to a much beloved fairy tale. Ha!
And a question I’ve been asked a lot recently…are there any more dragon books planned? I have a couple more stories from that world in my head. I have just haven’t had the chance to write them down. I’d still love to redeem Kafe (from Dragon’s Kiss) and I’d like to find some lady-dragons for Sixx’s men (from Dragon’s Prey). We’ll see what happens after I get the werewolves out of my system.
