New Review: Rat Burgler

"The Rat Burglar by Emily Veinglory: OK this is a very original shapershifter story... if you don't like rats, you can't read this one [...] The story is a mix of Family Addams horror and romance."

Review: Shifting Perspectives #2

"...all three stories presented in this anthology have merit in that they take on very different aspects of shape-shifting, and will definitely hold interest for fans of this genre."

Nameless God review

From Joyfully Reviewed, reviewd by Cassie [full review here]

"I read the book in one setting because I had to know how it ended. When I reached the end, I felt as if I’d gone through the journey with Fisk and Levin. I was also a little sad, because the story was over. I am happy to Joyfully Recommend The Nameless God. I also have to say I hope Emily Veinglory plans to write more stories set in this world, because I think there are a great many stories waiting to be told."

The Nameless God is now available on Fictionwise.

Here Comes the Sun, now available on Fictionwise.

I am making some progress on the Wicca Man #2. Although I am somewhat distracted by reading Death at the Priory: Sex, Love, and Murder in Victorian England by James Ruddick. One day I will write a very sordid Victorian novel.

New Release: The Swan Prince

Synopsis:

A fish, a pigeon, and a swan. Unusual creatures with unusual tales of love lost and discovered await you in this new m/m romance anthology. Read about the biggest fish story ever and the man who had to come to grips with the stories his father told in The One That Got Away by Sharon Maria Bidwell. Follow a racing pigeon as he tries to get back to his lover in Fiona Glass's, Steal the Sky, and finally return to the struggling relationship between Rudy and Sandy as they come to terms with Sandy's heritage and rank in Emily Veinglory's heartpounding tale The Swan Prince.

100 Word Diet--veinglory

Well, writing levels crashed a bit, so I am back on my lowest tier goal. It is 100 words a day, no excuse.

Sigh.

Eclipse of the Heart is now available at All Romance Ebooks, as is Eclipse of the Heart #2: Here Comes the Sun.

New Cover: Shifting Perspective #2

Pantsing

I don't normally outline--at most a series of short phrases, one for each chapter. That's always been fine. Until, that is, I started working on sequels. I can remember everything that is going on just fine while I am actually writing a book, but by the time I get around to writing the next one? Not so much.

So I just finished re-reading The Wicca Man: Tongue Tongued, writing out everything it establishes about the characters, setting and mythos. So now I am ready to start on part two in which we discover exactly who the God of Shadows is. God of Shadows? you ask. Maybe you need to re-read it too. Or read it. Buy a copy in time to be ready for the sequel!

Poetry, sort of

Ego Technorati-surfing

I was ego Technorati-surfing and found:

"Werewolves: mmm, characters with dueling sides. Lots of opportunity for conflict here :) My favorite story is With Caution, by JL Langley, followed by Emily Veinglory’s Eclipse of the Heart and Laura Baumbach’s Out There in the Night." [Luisa Prieto]

Yay!

Nameless God, review summary and giveaway

From the reviews:
* "The Nameless God is one of the best fantasy stories I’ve read in a long time ... Everything about The Nameless God, including the characters, the setting, the conflict, and the love scenes, is well-written. ... I am happy to Joyfully Recommend The Nameless God" [Joyfully Reviewed]
* "In the end, the book and its characters fascinate me. The quiet desolation that permeates from start to finish creates an irresistible atmosphere, sucking me into the story’s events and the characters’ lives with frightening ease." [Uniquely Pleasurable]
* "The plot of this story really caught my attention. The idea of an unremarkable and humble man who is thrust by fate into a situation he never wanted nor even imagined is very appealing to me." [Romance Junkies]
* "Fisk reminds me a bit of the old saints of Christian's history, men like S. Francesco or S. Antonio, born in wealth but who chose to be poorer among the poor; the only difference is that Fisk is already poor, but he chooses not to improve his status thanks to the vision's gift." [Elisa Rolle]
