So after 8 silent months of waiting for Harlequin to accept/reject my manuscript I've decided to nudge them.

I hope this is the right course of action. I mean seriously, the wait is killing my muse!! At this point I jump when my phone rings and all but tackle the post man when he drops off mail.

On a plus note, I've begun to move forward on my book. 7 more chapters ( at the most) until I'm done and ready for serious editing. I think I fixed my sagging middle. We'll see when it's put together.

So, I've been absent from LJ for... months, like I've been absent from everything else! I have been writing a lot, which is good. The muse is alive and well!

I quit my day job and now home with beautiful boys. Yeah, had another baby last August (which tells you how LONG I've been away, lol).

I finished, edited (with lots of help from friends and family) my book Shadows in Twilight and [info]chloe_sarai convinced me to submit to Harlequin Nocturne. Based on my submission sample (Query Letter + 3 chapters), they asked to see the full manuscript. That was back in July and I'm waiting for a response one way or the other. I'm NOT holding my breath! It probably wont be until March until I hear back.

I wrote another full length book, Touch of Frost, which I'm in the process of editing, bleck. But, I'm in love with the story and the characters so I suppose I should just shut up and focus!

That's all I'm up to, what about everyone else??

((Hugs))

Now available from Cobblestone Press:  Pain & Pleasure

Pain & Pleasure - Now Available
A deadly war wages between the Vampires and the Elven court. Consumed with guilt and the irresistible connection she has to the Vampire King, Jolie Dupree seeks solitude in his dark embrace. Every moment with him is betrayal.

Every intimate caress of pain and pleasure draws her deeper into the darkness. It is a game of domination and power. Jolie must decide between the concrete and the chaos, for her choice will tip the scales of the good versus evil and quite possibly cost her, her soul.  
   
 
Content: Erotica
This title contains explicit language, elements of BDSM, & graphic sex.

Man, has it been a long time since I've blogged. What's been going on in AJ's world? What hasn't would be the better question. It's late and I'm kind of tired. I went to the West Hollywood Book Fair :) That was fun and I really enjoyed meeting the gals from All Romance eBooks :) The sun totally cooked me though.

I do have some good news. Halloween Treats and anthology from Liquid Silver Books will be out in October and it contains my shifter novella: Familiar Magic. 



I also just signed a contract from Cobblestone Press for Harnessing the Moon. I believe it will be included in their "Naughty November" line! Woot woot! So yes, thats what I have been doing. Writing a little, taking care of my little ones mostly.



I hope everyone else is having a wonderful start to this fall season!

((Hugs))

Hello everyone!!
 
I'd like to host a "Sinful Reads" loop chat on my yahoo group (my first one!) to celebrate two erotic upcoming releases that I have:
 
Tempting Sin - Cobblestone Press
Breathless - Cacoethes Publishing
 
I was wondering if there was any other authors that were interested in participating! I'd like to host it all day on Friday March 7th (the new release day).
 
I'll be posting excerpts and I'll also be giving away a paperback copy of Bending to Break to whoever wins the contest. If someone else wants to hold a contest too that would be great! We could have one winner, or multiple winners and we could brainstorm prizes and such.
 
Please let me know asap so I can make a banner and start promoting. Email me at aj_hampton@hotmail.com and we can brainstorm some ideas and get a list together.
 
((Hugs))

Join me (and the rest of the gang at Cacoethes Publishing) tonight for a chat!! www.cacoethespublishing.com - Click on the "Chat Now" picture that looks like a Starbucks! I hope to see you guys there!!
 
Breathless is scheduled for release Feb 15th! I hear they are giving away goodies at the chat!
 
Bending to Break is now available in paperback - you can order directly from the site - and in a few days it should be up at Amazon, Barnes & Nobles & Borders. It’s a tad bit more expensive than your normal paperback because its "Print on Demand." They only make a limited amount then ship from some central location.
 
Anyways - Join me tonight for a chat!!

I just wanted to let everyone know that mom and baby are doing good!! Nicholas was born on Monday, January 14th at 4:36 pm. Everything went smoothly and I gave birth to a 9lb 3oz little boy!! I about freaked when they told me how big he was!! 22 inches long!! I'm only 5'1"!! Yikes!! But, thanks to the beauty of an epidural I felt no pain!!

So yes, mom and baby are doing good and Nicholas is adjust well into our family :) Thank you to everyone who had us in their thoughts and prayers.
