Princess of Pique:
I write under the name Morgan Ashbury, and I write erotic romance. My first e-novel was released March 1, and a novella was released April 1. The first one will be available in print next month. My second novel is scheduled for July, and I've signed a contract for a three-book series. My web site: http://www.morganashbury.com
I've been writing most of my life, and have completed many novels but only found a publisher last year at RT.
Cheers,
Susan

I am only currently published in nonfiction (I have a paranormal romance, "Out of Nowhere" still languishing at Tor, from when they requested the full manuscript 3 years ago - have a feeling its past time to rewrite the thing). The nonfiction books are both parapsychology:
The PK Zone: A Cross-Cultural Review of Psychokinesis: This is a 3 parter with part I stories of PK (including miracles) from around the world from the earliest recorded literature on; Part II is the experimental PK research; Part III is experiential research (what it's like to do it) plus how people can get better at doing it themselves. It was originally published in 2003, and I'm in the middle of a complete rewrite and update now. I hope to have a new version out within the year.
Sucide: What Really Happens in the Afterlife was put out by North Atlantic Books last June. It looks at reports said to come from the afterlife (through mediums and other methods) regarding what it's like to be there for 3 types of suicide: traditional, assisted (euthanasia), and suicide mass-murder (like suicide bombers or what happened in Virginia). I went through over 400 channeled books to find the info, plus did some Q&A sessions with spirit guides and supposed deceased suicide bombers through mediums. It's interesting stuff.

Dunno if this counts: Hi, My name is Pam Parisi, and I have written museum exhibits and brochures on historic sites. I also have written National Register of Historic Places Nominations, Plumbing Codes, Planning and Zoning Codes, and Recycling Codes. I am what you call a Technical Writer. Tech Writing is, for me, fun and it has a challenge to it which is: You have to write confusing things in a form which can be understood by simple people; like, oh, elected officials, and plumbers. And you need to write museum script in short but entrancing snips that make visitors really take their time to look more deeply at things.
All of these things take a lot of research, understanding of what people need from you and from the document/exhibit you produce, and an ability to form clear concise verbiage that won't make anyone run for a lawyer.
In my spare time I write poetry and fiction, some of which has been published in magazines and newsletter, but I really, really admire those of you who have published fictional works.

--- Quote from: Richelle on August 19, 2006, 06:24:25 PM ---Mickey, you crack me up. All right. Everyone keeps telling me to break out of my introverted personality and put myself out there if I want to sell books.
I'm an urban fantasy writer. I sold my first novel SUCCUBUS BLUES and two sequels last November, and it'll be published in March 2007. It's about a succubus with romantic problems (that whole inconvenient soul-stealing thing) who investigates a creature killing immortals in Seattle. In January, I decided to quit my teaching job and write full-time. I started another book called DARK SWAN (title to be changed) about a shaman. It sold in January + one sequel and won't be out until after SB#2. All of my books rely heavily on mythology and have a campy sense of humor (my succubus' demonic boss chooses to walk around in a body that looks like John Cusack).
I'm about 2 months away from an Amazon listing. The website in my sig will give you more on the books, plus a review from Jim himself! *swoon*
I had to learn a lot about the publishing world to get here, so I'm happy to answer any questions folks have.

Yeah, I met you at RT Houston. The book is really good.
Kathleen Dante:
I write paranormal erotic romance. I currently have two books in print with Berkley Heat (ENTANGLED and ENTICED), and two novellas in Kensington Aphrodisia's WILD NIGHTS and SEXY BEAST II anthologies. I'm currently working on my next two books for Berkley; in fact, I'm just putting the finishing touches to DREAMWALKER.
Argh! I have difficulty talking about myself especially on a board that's for another author's books. ::) Anyway, I've been reading Jim since Storm Front was first released in 2000.
