Tor Books to publish ECHO 8

Big news today! I'm so pleased to announce that my publisher for GHOST PLANET and THE OPHELIA PROPHECY is also going to publish ECHO 8.

The old Coleman School in Seattle, setting for ECHO 8

ECHO 8 is an earlier novel of mine, written while GHOST PLANET was on submission. It has long been a darling of my beta readers.

The book is romance with a sci-fi premise and lots of paranormal elements. I think it has a sort of noir-ish feel as well. It was a 2011 RWA Golden Heart Finalist, and won the 2009 RWA FF&P chapter On the Far Side contest (sci-fi/futuristic category).

Here's a quick plot summary:

The fate of two worlds hangs in the balance as three lives entangle: Jake, a man shifted to an alternate Earth, where he must drain energy from others to survive. Tess, the parapsychologist trying to save him. Ross, the FBI agent torn between duty and his love for Tess.

I'll keep you posted about release dates and such. Meanwhile, THE OPHELIA PROPHECY is scheduled for release March 4!

THE OPHELIA PROPHECY giveaway

Folks are just getting back from RWA Nationals and all the gals at Spacefreighters are swamped this week. We're hoping for a post from our field reporter, Donna, when she has time to rest and recover!

I'm hard at work on production stuff for my next book, THE OPHELIA PROPHECY (post apocalyptic biopunk romance, Tor, Feb. 18), and I thought it might be a good time for the first giveaway!

So in lieu of actual content today (ahem), a chance to win a signed ARC! I've posted the quote from which I drew the book's epigraph, and one commenter who identifies the book and author (along with some other info) will win the ARC. Enter by August. 1.

Good luck!
