Holiday Sip out at Torquere Press!

A Coven Christmas

by

Jourdan Lane

Peter can hardly believe his eyes when he wakes up and finds the house he and Lucien share with the coven decorated for Christmas. Their friend Simon has decided he wants some joy back in the house after the horrible time the coven has had, and it breathes a little happiness back into Peter and Lucien, as well. Spend the holiday with the Soul Mates boys!

Update -- 11/26/07

First of all, a belated Happy Thanksgiving to everyone who celebrates it! Ours was nice and quiet for a change.

I know it's been a long, long while since I've been around. I'm not going to apologize for going away, because I'm entitled to a vacation and apologizing for taking personal time away just seems…wrong. But I'm back online and back at work.

Well, at least until Christmas where I'll take another two week break to spend time off with my kids :-)

I want to say thank you to everyone who responded with support to my post back in August (in the Yahoo group). Really, it means a lot to know that I've still got folks who support me and are patient with me. While I can't respond to each and every post/email, I do appreciate the sentiments.

*hugs you all*

So…updates.

Let's see. I told y'all about Soul Mates: Sacrifice coming out, didn't I? I think I did. Anyway, it's been listed as #1 highest rated in books for Torquere at Fictionwise since the book came out. In fact, all three books in the series are in the top 10 highest rated for Torquere. Soul Mates: Sacrifice has also been in the top 5 highest rated for all of erotica since August.

And the erotica category: http://www.fictionwise.com/ebooks/EroticaEbooks.htm

Personally, I think it's pretty cool and I'm proud that the books are doing so well.

What else…*ponders*

Oh! I had a short story come out on Halloween as part of Torquere's Halloween Sip Blitz. It's called "Marked" and is about Matt and Zack, who run their own paranormal investigation business. This story is a precursor to a series I'm planning out.

A short blurb:

Matt doesn't like to work Halloween cases because of something terrible that's happened on a past case. But, when a client calls and requests them to investigate a property that's at the middle of a will dispute, Zack takes the case anyway because the money is just too good to pass up. Not wanting to let fear rule his decisions, Matt goes along, but what he finds there just might be too much for him to handle and soon getting proof on film isn't as important as getting out alive.

If you're interested, you can get the story on Torquere's website for only $1.29.

I've got a novella coming out in an anthology in January '08. It's set in the Soul Mates world and is Sabaan's story. I had a lot of fun with it and it actually sets up a lot for the 4th book in the Soul Mates series…which I'm currently working on. I'll let everyone know when it comes out :-)

Speaking of the 4th book, I don't currently have a release date on it yet since I'm still writing it. Hopefully I'll get it finished in time for it to come out in mid – late 2008, but I'll let you all know on that, too.

And one last thing…

Remember that FAQ page that I've been trying to get in order since…uh, last year? Well, I finally, finally got it set up and put on my website. There are a few questions I've not gotten to yet, but I'll get to them asap. If you have any additional questions you think should be added to the page, just email me at faq AT jourdanlane.com.

Here's the link directly to the page: http://www.jourdanlane.com/faq.htm

Soul Mates: Sacrifice

by Jourdan Lane
200 pages
ISBN: 978-1-60370-102-0, 1-60370-102-8
Available file types - html, lit, pdf, prc, paperback

From the Torquere Press website:

Peter and Lucien are back in this third book in the Soul Mates series! Following Soul Mates: Bound by Blood, and Soul Mates: Deceptions, Soul Mates: Sacrifice, picks up after a vicious attack on Peter's new paranormal family.

Peter may have rescued Lucien but his problems are far from over. Caleb, a vampire who was once a friend, is chained in the dungeon and waiting judgment. Peter's body is dying. He needs Lucien to make him a vampire, but no one knows what he might become if Lucien goes ahead with the change.

With his control slipping, even as a human, Peter knows he has to cross over. But he needs Lucien to help him control his instincts, to keep him from hurting the people he loves the most.

As enemies gather and allies appear in the strangest of forms, Peter has to make choices that may affect not just his life with Lucien, but also the lives of the vampires and Lycans who look to them both for leadership. Their coven. Unrest among the werewolves, friends' betrayals, and broken emotional connections conspire to keep Peter off balance, looking to Lucien, and deep inside himself, for the answers.

Answers that could cost him everything, including his life. Good thing Peter thinks some things are worth making sacrifices for.

The Call
Edited by Rob Knight

From the Torquere Press website:

Werewolves under the moon. City boys forced to accept their wilder side. Primal danger. The Call anthology has all this and more. Three stories give us an inside view of the life of the wolf.

Jourdan Lane, author of the popular Soul Mates series, gives us Instinct. Construction worker Ethan hates being a werewolf. He hates the man who made him what he is. When he meets Noah, he finds a fellow wolf who wants his help, and his body. Can he open up to Noah enough to put aside his fear? And what happens when the man who turned him wants him back?

Emily Veinglory pairs the small town werewolf Nate with the city boy Steven. When Steven's car breaks down at Nate's gas station, Nate figures he's found something worth keeping. He has secrets, though, and he might be too wild for the sophisticated Steven. Can he juggle his past and make a new life?

From BA Tortuga comes Home Fires, the story of Houston, who escapes torturous captivity to return to his mate, Jackson. Jackson welcomes Houston back to their remote New Mexico home, and sets about healing Houston, body and soul. Can they remove the scars that Houston can't hide? And can the two wolves escape the ghosts of the past when they come looking.

Run with this anthology today!

Sword and Sorcery: The Lost Son - Out Today!

One warrior, one sorcerer, and a legacy that will change their lives forever...


In the world of Socendor, humans are forbidden from using magic and elves keep their distance.

Kalen Ysindroc, King Andrion's general, knows nothing about his birth parents. Having risen from nothing more than the adopted son of a blacksmith, he now serves his king loyally. Aided by his best friend and long-time elven lover, Micheil Theirauf, he investigates sightings of lithings--magic-wielding descendants of humans and elves, ostracized from their parent races.

However, things are not as cut and dried as Kalen would hope. Dreams plague him, dreams that no human should ever have. Dreams of dragons.

Is Kalen's past nothing more than Micheil's imagination? Or does Socendor's infamous general have more than the blood of a warrior in his veins?

Soul Mates: Deceptions by Jourdan Lane
206 pages
ISBN: 978-1-934166-80-2, 1-934166-80-4
Available file types - html, lit, pdf, prc, paperback

From the Torquere Press website:

Angels and demons, vampires and werewolves... And Peter, bound to Lucien the master vampire, walks amongst them, no longer all human but without a place of his own. Desperate to be turned and baffled by Lucien's continuing refusal, Peter is starting to feel that he's losing his vampire lover.

Their relationship has become purely physical, with Lucien pushing Peter away at every turn. And after a night watching werewolf Xander hunt, a night that sees Peter attacked, that might not be all he's losing.

Fearing for his very life, and working hard to keep Lucien's increasingly uncertain temper from hurting his friends, Peter's doing all he can to prove that he belongs at Lucien's side, not just as a master, but as an equal.

Then Lucien disappears, and Peter knows he has to call on every ally, every power he has, to get Lucien back before he’s gone forever. Can Peter find a way to beat the forces working against them, or will he lose all that he holds dear?

The sequel to Jourdan Lane’s popular novel Soul Mates: Bound by Blood, Deceptions is bound to keep you turning the pages!
