Kiss Me Deadly (not the song)

I have a ton of work on my plate today, and I already have a headache, so I'm gonna have to disappear from the internet for most of today (note to publisher, agent, personal friends, and family: I'll be checking email via iPhone), but I will try to answer a few emails and some questions at The Pride this evening.

Just a note, though: last night I posted the full cover (including the plot description) of My Soul To Keep at The Pride. I also posted a short teaser/hint about my upcoming short story in the KISS ME DEADLY anthology, due out this July. This is one of the stories I wrote in January, and I'm thrilled with how it fits into the Soul Screamers world.

Here's a look at the cover:

KISS ME DEADLY is a young adult paranormal romance anthology, and I swear, as soon as my story has a title, I'll release that and a plot description. I could really use some help coming up with a title. Unfortunately, no one out there's read it yet, so I'm afraid the general public won't be much help with this one. ;-)

Here's a partial list of authors in the anthology (via Diana Peterfreund, who remains convinced that the ethereal layer over the cover model's face is a veil, when it is quite obviously part of a faerie wing. ;-) ):

Caitlin Kittredge
Karen Mahoney (My fellow Deadline Dame!)
Diana Peterfreund (Rampant)
Carrie Ryan (The Forest of Hands and Teeth)
Maggie Stiefvater (Shiver)
Becca Fitzpatrick (Hush, Hush)
Michelle Rowen
Rachel Vincent (ME!)
Daniel Waters
Justine Musk
Sarah Rees Brennan (The Demon's Lexicon)
Daniel Marks
Michelle Zink

[Edited to add the final 2 authors on this list--Thanks, Diana!]

Writing update:

I finished chapter 14 and wrote chapter 15 of MY SOUL TO STEAL yesterday. Chapter 16 is up for today!
