The Southern Cross series from KC Kendricks

2009-11-07T07:07:00.000-08:00

When I had Netting Neptune, Taming Triton, and Poseidon's Pleasure in the planning stages, I didn't realize how much I would like the end results. But by the time I got to the end of Poseidon's Pleasure, I didn't want to say goodbye to the six characters. So, like any good author, I'll just say...maybe I haven't said a firm and final goodbye to them. Ideas abound. Stay tuned.KCNETTING

Sneak Peek At Maxie Briscoe, Werewolf

2009-11-05T12:51:00.000-08:00

I am so excited for my January release, Maxie Briscoe, Werewolf, that I couldn't resist giving you a tiny sneak peek. I loved, loved writing this one, because it's all about a female werewolf, one who's not a four-legged wolf, but one who becomes a huge, hulking monster ala The Howling or Van Helsing. Bear in mind this is unedited so please forgive the mistakes, but I know you'll fall in love

Encore Performances is the title of my very first paperback book. I have been floating out near Jupiter since I got this beautiful cover a few weeks ago and now the time is nearly here. In a couple of short weeks, it will be on sale. I will finally be able to hold a physical book in my hands that contains my very own work. I cannot even begin to process. It means the absolute world to me, an

An Exclusive Sneak Preview from BLUE MOON CAFE, My Work in Progress

2009-10-31T01:05:00.000-07:00

I have written lots of horror, lots of stuff about vampires, serial killers, ghosts and things that go bump in the night. I have never written a werewolf story. Until now. I am hard at work on a new book called The Blue Moon Cafe. Set in my current home, Seattle, it's part horror, part romance, part erotica, and all can't-put-it-down. I hope it will be a draw not only for readers who like my

Exploring Paranormal Romances… Just in time for HalloweenBy Kelli WilkinsHalloween is my favorite holiday, and as most everyone knows, I write in several genres – including romance and horror. Many people think that’s an odd combination, but I like to say that one half of my brain writes the horror, and the other half writes the romance.So naturally, it was only a matter of time before I combined

MUSE - out now!

2009-10-22T02:26:00.000-07:00

My extended Amber Kiss 'MUSE' is now on sale, and I'm thrilled to see it there. Not JUST because that cover by Trace Edwards is superb and makes me feel warm every time I see it *lol*. But because the story's theme of art and love intermixed is close to my heart. BLURB: Gavin McGrath’s art career is in ruins, his health is failing, his wife’s left him because of his promiscuity, and he’s

SOMEBODY TO LOVE - COMING SOON (no pun intended)

Taming Triton by KC Kendricks (might and maybe make it possible)

2009-10-10T17:52:00.000-07:00

This has been a watershed year for me. Had I known, as I ushered in 2009 among friends, the twists and turns my path would take, I might have made different decisions. I might have taken the job offer in March. I might have invested differently - in Mason jars. There are any number of things that might be different. I have no difficulty seeing that. But the writing would remain the same. No

NEW COVER: No Place Like Home

2009-10-02T00:36:00.000-07:00

Every once in a while, I like to amuse myself (no, not that way!). I mean, in my writing, I like to step away from the crime, horror, gore, and dark deeds that seem to take hold of me for most of the stuff I write.Occasionally, I like to write something that makes me laugh.No Place Like Home was one of those projects.And now it has a new cover by the amazing cover artist, Trace Edward Zaber. I

Movies, Music, Muse

2009-10-01T13:07:00.000-07:00

Have you listened to a song, or a movie soundtrack, or any piece of music and found yourself flooded with memories? That happens a lot for me. When I watched the DVD of Radio Days, I kept flashing back to scenes of my childhood and teenage years. (Now I’ve really dated myself. LOL) I recalled sitting in the branches of a California pepper tree or roller skating down a sun-warmed sidewalk in San

The "Royal Desires" Trilogy - Three Fun Fantasy Reads!

2009-09-21T15:01:00.000-07:00

The "Royal Desires" Trilogy - Three Fun Fantasy Reads! By Kelli A. WilkinsSomeone recently asked me how I plotted my “Royal Desires” trilogy: A Most Unusual Princess, Dalton’s Temptation, and The Pauper Prince. Did I use note cards to keep track of each character’s description? Did I make an overall outline of the whole trilogy, and then write each book?Nope. The truth is… I just wrote the

A new 'Neighbor' says hello!

2009-09-16T10:58:00.000-07:00

Hello and thanks to Amber Quill for welcoming me!You see, despite my age (though I’m not admitting anything in public!) I’m a newbie around here. I’m a relatively new author in the publication world – I had my first book published in November 2007. And in the eighteen months since then, I’ve been new to so much more: blogging, marketing, editing, the pains and pleasures of reviews, the wide – and

Fantasy on a Distant Planet

2009-09-15T12:24:00.000-07:00

One reason I love to write is creating settings for my characters that take the reader to a different place and time. I created the planet, Traber, and set most of my April Reid stories there.This novel, Dark Passion, is one of my favorite Traber stories. www.amberquill.com/AmberHeat/DarkPassion.html Desert Rose Golden Quill Awards Finalist—Best Science Fiction/Fantasy/

Netting Neptune by KC Kendricks

2009-09-13T04:26:00.000-07:00

I had this idea--a dangerous thing for a writer. Ideas equate to a lot of hours hunched over the keyboard. Once an idea takes hold, having a life outside of writing becomes optional. So went the summer of 2009. That's not a complaint. I'm very pleased with the end result--Netting Neptune.

Happy "New" Birthday to Me

2009-09-07T18:22:00.000-07:00

Today, September 7, 2009 is my fourth “New” Birthday. I’m not talking about a spiritual experience, or a change in identities, or an extreme plastic surgery makeover. I am talking about a surgery in which I was hooked up to a heart-lung machine, my heart deliberately stopped, and a cardiac surgeon and team gave me a quadruple heart bypass. They literally

Memory of Darkness

2009-09-04T13:08:00.001-07:00

Memory of Darkness had its roots in my trip to Los Angeles back in 1978. I moved to L.A. because I wanted to write screenplays. I used to write what I guess is called fan fiction in screenplay form back then. My favorite show to write about was Starsky and Hutch. My plan was to take my screenplays to L.A. and shop around for an agent, since even then I knew you needed one.Well I got to L.A. and

New to AmberQuill

I think I was supposed to be here earlier, but I couldn't get on line until now. Hope I'm not too late.I'm a brand new author to AmberQuill. My first book, Memory of Darkness will be out on Sunday and I'm really looking forward to it. Some people wonder if it ever gets boring or commonplace when a new book comes out.

We write mostly GLBT fiction.What I wanted to talk about was "The Question."I finally got The Question.
