I’m moving to California (my home state) this week. In fact, I’m posting this in advance, so likely as you read it, I’m on the road between here and there.
It’s probably not a surprise that I’ve spent the last month or so packing. The fun part of this experience (as if there’s anything really fun about packing your life and relocating) was finding all the odd bits and pieces of writing stuff I’d forgotten about.
For example, I found the first handwritten version of Every Witch Way, one of my upcoming Kensington releases. It was bad. Very bad. I’m scrapping everything and starting over on that book, which I knew, but this confirms it. Eek!
I also found some of the research I did for ON THE PROWL about San Francisco (which is where much of the book takes place) and then a whole bunch of stuff I looked up for the futuristic shape-shifters I have coming out, UNTAMED (Nov. ’09) and KITH AND KIN (which my editor will be renaming something sexier soon). Most of the notes were transferred into my computer files, but it’s interesting to see exactly what made it and what didn’t and where my research went. I tend to completely forget what my original concepts were as I get lost in the reality of the world I’m creating.
And as a final, side note: my new book, ON THE PROWL, released this week while I was transitioning states. Details below!
Meet the Cruz brothers. They look human—except for the golden sheen their eyes take when they’re aroused beyond control…and the way their claws come out when it’s time to play rough. They’re Panthers, ancient shapeshifters, and their survival depends on mating to bring out their wild sides…
Undeniable
When Antonio, the strong, sexy new leader of the Panther pride, meets luscious Solana in a dark alleyway, their passion lights up the night. But she’s an outcast, an impossible mate—and her touch makes him lose all control…
Irresistible
Ex-model and businesswoman Andrea doesn’t need anyone—until she meets Miguel, who tempts her mind with daring games and teases her body with dark, forbidden pleasure she can’t resist…
Indescribable
Wild twins Ricardo and Diego do everything together—and their women appreciate the teamwork. Until shy Isabel takes refuge in their pride, and both want to claim her. Of course, sometimes two mates are better than one…
Places to get it on the web:
Hmmmmm that looks like it would be a good read. Where in California are you going? Its a big place remember. I am in Reno, NV. Welcome home. Have safe travels.

For those of you who havent read this book you need to stop what ever it is your doing and run out and buy this book. It is by far 1 of my favorites. Crystal Jordan is very talented and knows how to strut her stuff in this book.
