In honor of the release of Tracking Shadows, I'm talking about some of the fun I've had with technology in my 2096 world.
For each of the books set in 2096, I've had the delightful experience of discovering some new element or advancement of technology. Writing into the future somehow sets my imagination free and writing with the barest sketch of a plotline only makes it more fun. For me. Don't expect my critique partners to agree.
But that amazing sense of discovery is a real rush for me

Regan Black Releases New Paranormal Romance Novel
Drum roll please... Tracking Shadows has officially arrived!
I just can't adequately express how happy I am about this book. Slick Micky has been pestering me for years to be the lead in his own story, but I had to find the right woman. I believe Trina is the perfect foil for Micky, and not just because she came back to Chicago to assassinate him. I suppose Tracking Shadows could be labeled as both urban fantasy (it's set in Chicago in 2096) and as a paranormal romance novel since...well I

Adopted Greyhound Learns to Sing Happy Birthday
I mentioned it last week, in my little trip down memory lane, that Brody sings Happy Birthday whenever we celebrate. Last week was the daughter's eighteenth, but this week is another milestone: my baby turns fifteen! The time: it is a-flying!
In the coming months, there will be driving permits and lessons and applications to the science and math school. But first there will be cake and a party this afternoon. (prayers are welcome).
Oddly, Brody didn't sing along last week when we lit the

Tracking Shadows Is Here! Well Almost
May 10, 2011 is the official release day for Tracking Shadows, the latest story from my 2096, caffeine-as-a-controlled-substance world. But you can get a sneak peek just by clicking on the new Tracking Shadows page here on the site! (right up there under the header).
"They" say write what you know...Well I know I'd be lost without my coffee! Which must be why coffee shows up in nearly every book I write. But I digress..
I'm so absolutely, positively thrilled with Tracking Shadows I

Labels and Elements of Paranormal Romance Novels
Whether you've written or read a great book, when you tell people about it, they often want a reference point: Some key information to know where to find the book or if it matches their taste in reading.
So how do you decide where a book fits - on a bookshelf or in the infinite virtual shelf space of ebooks?
When my first book, Justice Incarnate, came out in paperback in 2005 it had elements of several categories (sci-fi, thriller, romance, paranormal). The publisher and I had a challenge
