UPDATE on LIFE and WORKS

Hi everyone-

I haven’t updated in a while so I thought I’d come on here and speak to you all about a few things.

Firstly, I cannot say thank you enough for the responses I’ve received to TBM. Last week, TBM received a milestone of over 100 reviews and is now at 103. I read all reviews, and thank you all for taking the time to read the book and leave a comment.

Secondly, I’m on Facebook! I’ve been on facebook for a while but I thought to announce it here just in case some people didn’t know.

Me: https://www.facebook.com/violette.dubrinsky

My Fantasy Land: https://www.facebook.com/groups/violettedubrinskyfantasyland/

Come on over and join for snippets of upcoming stories, pictures of characters as myself and readers see them, and fun conversations about…well…everything (including Scandal).

Thirdly, whats coming out next??

Colorblind! It’s already in editing. And once that’s done, I’ll give you guys an official excerpt (long of course), the COVER (I’m excited for this). Once that’s done, it shouldn’t be long before it’s released to the masses.

Fourthly, what am I writing?

I am writing DREW’s story. Yes, Drew gets her own story and you get a nice introduction to the Moonlight vampires and many other creatures who don’t die so easily. Not to worry, the Cedar Creek Wolf Pack is back too with interesting appearances from your favorite alpha and his mate and their babies…!

I am also writing VARIAN’s story (summer project). Who will tame the cold heart that beats under–yea, we all know Isolde is the only person who can do that job, but the question is “how?”

And other stories…

Also, I’m well. I’m still in grad school, and finals are around the corner, but I’m alive and healthy, and looking forward to writing more stories for you guys to enjoy.

‘Tis the Season! Holiday Stories!

Hello everyone–

It’s almost that time of the year! I’m extremely excited and hope you all are too. The Holiday season just represents so many different things to me (mostly loooovvee) that I can’t help but be happy. I’ll be even happier after Tuesday at noon (my final).

Anywho, because I’m a big lover of the Holiday season, I’ve actually written a few stories surrounding it. For those of you who haven’t read them, here they are:

NYC Christmas

Christmas Miracle

Melanie Samuels is not fond of Christmas. In fact, she’s not really fond of anything that doesn’t include making her PR agency even better than it currently is. She’s been called many names before, bitch being the most frequent. Not that she cares. As long as she’s raking in profits, Melanie is as “happy” as she can be. 

An encounter with a new potential client, business mogul Cameron Macintosh, begins to change that. 

Sebastian Cameron Macintosh, Jr. needs a publicist. Well, at least, other people think so. He doesn’t particularly want one, but when the person who booked the appointment is his annoying little sister, he has no choice to but to show up. He expects to be bored to death with an unnecessary meeting, but is instead intrigued by the cool, stoic Melanie Samuels, owner of the MS Agency. 

Within days, intrigue turns to more, and before long, Cameron is completely taken with her. All he has to do is convince Melanie to take a chance and trust him. 

With all the baggage Melanie carries around daily, it will be a Christmas miracle if she does…

Christmas NYC

I’ll be Home for Christmas (Sequel to Christmas Angel)

Jiselle Coletti reunites with an angel…

Well, if you weren’t in the holiday spirit before, I hope these get you there! Enjoy! And feel free to tell me about other authors whose Christmas stories you’ve enjoyed. And movies too.

THANK YOU for the AMAZING response to Taken by Moonlight

Thank you to those who’ve purchased, reviewed and spoken of Taken By Moonlight to others. I was anxiously waiting to see how people would respond to this story (it’s one of my babies, and its been dusting off for years, hence the nerves) and I’m thrilled to see such a positive reaction (particularly on Amazon).

If you’ve read and haven’t written a review (and would like to), please do. I love reviews, and discussion. Really.

To say a whooping thank you, I thought I’d give you guys a free story (for Halloween) and tell you what’s coming up next.

Free Story: Fallen (A Short) 

http://violettedubrinsky.wordpress.com/free-reads/fallen-a-short/

Paranormal Romance

Moonlight Saga

Next up…is a prequel with two characters you were introduced to in TBM. This story is written. It just has to be edited and released, so when I have a few moments, that will be released.

Of course, there are sequels for Taken By Moonlight. Many of the characters who had “solos” in the original story, will be having their very own story.

Crescent Moon Saga

Under Her Spell: WIP (see Works-in-Progress)

**UHS is setting the backstory for a story that will follow Under a Crescent Moon, that is why it’s taking so long to complete (that and grad school)** For those who’ve requested passwords, please give me time to answer (1 week or so). If you don’t hear from me by that time, send a follow-up email to violettedubrinsky@gmail.com.

Contemporary Romance

Fear not, I have not forgotten I promised to released Irish Eyes (and other non-paranormal stories.) Irish Eyes needs more work however, as I am not happy with the current state of the story, so…I will keep you posted on when to expect it.

I also have plans for a mafia story, so watch out for that. (It’s particularly bloody, so you will be forewarned)

Again, thank you for your support! And I hope you enjoy the story!

BLURB

When she agreed to go camping with her twin to honor a birthday milestone, Vivienne Bordeaux imagined itchy mosquito bites, the possibility of West Nile, and perhaps foot-fungus, but she never anticipated just how much her life would change. After almost dying under the snapping jaws of a rabid wolf—go figure—Vivienne is saved by a gorgeous, dark-haired man, who may just belong to a cult. Her attraction to Conall is strong, and she’s unable to control it, especially when he’s touching her….

Conall Athelwulf is no man. He’s a werewolf, the leader of the largest pack in New York, and he knows better than anyone that relationships between weres and humans are strictly forbidden. So why is he unable to get beautiful, but very human, Vivienne Bordeaux out of his system? Amidst fears he’ll hurt her, Conall soon realizes that laws be damned, he’s unwilling to let her go. Instinct tells him Vivienne is his in every sense of the word, and a smart wolf heeds his instincts.

When others threaten his claim, Conall is determined to teach them the hard way: fists or claws. But Vivienne isn’t as she seems, and both parties soon find themselves at the center of an epic war, where Vivienne may be key to the salvation of an entire race.

Taken By Moonlight (Call to Readers–Thank You! I’ve Chosen the Blurb!)

THANK YOU!! I’ve gotten 9 quick responses. You are all awesome! For those who didn’t get to help in blurb choosing, not to worry: I expect to release the Cover, Blurb and an official (LONG) excerpt asap, which should tide you over until the official release of TBM. And after the release (for the release party)

Hello everyone,

I’m almost through the edits for Taken By Moonlight, and my cover should be done shortly. What does that mean? Very soon (weeks, maybe earlier) this story should be ready for mass consumption. And it is one massive story guaranteed to give you a lot of reading time.

In the meantime, I need 5 – 7 (the first five/seven will get it) readers to decide between TWO (2) blurbs.The blurb that gets the most votes will be my OFFICIAL Taken By Moonlight blurb.

If you’ve read it, haven’t read it, it doesn’t matter. I need you to tell me which blurb grabs you instantly and makes you want to a) read it b) re-read c) share it with your friends.

So, send me an email at violettedubrinsky@gmail.com and I will direct you to the two blurbs. You have to tell me which one you liked better.

Thank you!!

Vi

 

Whats Next: Taken By Moonlight

Hello lovelies–

Yes, I’m posting, and I have an update on future works. For those of you who have emailed me, commented,  pleaded, demanded, threatened, and everything else (I love you all for it promise), you should be happy to know that I’ve finally cleared out time to get TBM published. I’d intended to do this a long time ago, but I had NO IDEA how demanding grad school is. In fact, publishing a novel, and doing the program was impossible. I was reading 100 pages per week, per class (4 major classes). So, I apologize. This ebook was supposed to be out a while ago, but life in the form of grad school got in the way, and here we are.

HAVE NO FEAR! SUMMER IS HERE!

So that is my official project. The Section I’ve created for TBM will be updated steadily (weekly maybe) as I get closer and closer to releasing the story. For waiting so patiently, you will be treated to extremely long excerpts. (It’s a very long story, so for those of you who complain that the stories end too quickly, this one doesn’t)

Also, there are some diehard readers who are owed complimentary copies. I have not forgotten you, and I will be holding a competition for the release of some freebies as well.
