Love and Zombies

If you are reading this blog, then it is probably safe to assume that you love to read about love. New love, old love, the forever-after kind of love. You probably get a rush reading that first kiss and bite your nails when the tension leads to toe-curling passion. But what about zombies? Is there a place for love when an outbreak of zombies occurs?

Freebies, Goodreads, & Coming out of the Closet

So put on your party hats and get out the sparklers, boys and girls, we're getting our game on.

Nom de Plume? Oui oui!

To adopt a pen name, or not to adopt a pen name, that was indeed the question we asked ourselves. In this technological age of identity theft and stalking made easy, it seemed like a smart idea. But really, if someone has even a modicum of internet knowledge, they can pretty much find out what they want to about you and no pen name will stop them.

4th of July Freebie!

First progress report! Woohoo! 

Book One of the Blood Moon series, The Dacian Woman , is already being offered through Amazon Kindle. Coming soon will be the further adventures of Ileana, Fane, the briefly introduced Marius,  and, of course, Mihai and the rest of the pack. Plus! There are more characters from the Blood Moon world who are already clamoring for their own spotlights. Impatient bunch they are, too - not to mention very insistent. Book two is in the works already.

Also, very close to publication right now is the story about a girl on a far off world who tries to salvage a downed deep space fighter craft, only to discover she's got the living pilot on her hands! A science fiction Romance.

And that's not all folks. There are more in progress that we'll fill you in on over the coming months as they get closer to being publication ready.

Well met! This destination is the Blog of Fay McDermott, who will sparkle and amaze with brilliant prose and exceptional insight. No? Ok. How about...

Who is this Fay McDermott, you ask!? Besides your guide on this ride (see how I did that?), and I will say "Fay McDermott is the very definition of the embodiment of sorcery, the melding of two minds and two bodies."

Or you could just say that Fay McDermott is a pen name for two friends and writers.

So why use a pen name at all? Because though we've both been writing most of our lives and several years together, this is our first attempt at publishing. And you're in luck, because we're going to take you on this journey with us! (And also we're big fat chickens afraid of rejection.)

Where to begin? Let's start with our publishing accomplishment! Published, you say? Why yes, Jeeves. Published! What? Through Harlequin Romance? No, no (though we did try). Another publisher? No, no. We did it ourselves. Through amazon.com. WHY would we do such a thing? Because in this industry, it's exceptionally competitive and we've yet to see a rejection letter that didn't begin or end with 'our apologies for the canned reply'. Let's face it - sometimes you just have to be brave and take the plunge on your own if you want to get out there. So we did.

That brings us to The Dacian Woman. Not our first manuscript together, but it is our first finished one. And I will tell you, it was over 150k words until we realized most romances these days are far shorter than that. So we cut it down. By over 100k words. Letting you in on a little secret here, but the gazillions of edits and re-reads, PLUS the craziness of formatting for Kindle, were WAY more work than writing the manuscript in the first place!

Right. Now you ask, are we a one-hit wonder? No! A hundred times no! And we're going to keep you abreast of our progress and hopefully, most importantly, we will entertain and inspire you.
