New book out Wednesday

I tried to post this on Myspace, then everything went kerfluffle (in other words Errors out the butt).

Trying again:

I updated my website (www.allysonjames.com) to include the new covers for Catch a Falling Star (out this coming Wednesday!! July 2) and Mortal Temptations (out in January).

I'm expecting to get the proofs for Dragon Master sometime soon, and as soon as I do I'll post an excerpt. I wait for the final pages so I know there won't be any more changes. (Who makes changes to my books? I do! I get the manuscript back from my editor and have to futz with it. I'm never satisfied.)

I haven't said much about Catch a Falling Star because for a while I worried that it wouldnt' get published at all. What with changing editors, no cover, and other stuff. But everything (knock on wood) is on track. On July 2, an excerpt and blurb will be at: http://www.ellorascave.com/AuthorsBooks.asp?AuthorCode=AllJ

If you can't wait, I have the cover and blurb at least at: http://www.allysonjames.com/next.html

I swear that Catch a Falling Star is a fun book (and very, very sexy) about a woman from a high-tech culture who crashlands on a fantasy world where people fly on dragons. She meets a gorgeous king and his equally gorgeous man at arms. Yum. Her arrival has caused all kinds of problems, and she might not ever be able to leave. In other words, kerfluffle.

Enjoy. I'll try to get Myspace working again.... (www.myspace.com/allysonjamesauthor)

Where is Allyson James?

She is neglecting her websites, blogs, and online socializing because she's doing so much writing. Honest.

Really, when I'm quiet in cyberspace, you know that my personal life is insane with writing and other things.

I finished going over the copy-edits of The Dragon Master and returned them to my editor today. Another few weeks and I'll have final pages, which means I can post an excerpt!

I think you'll like Seth, the Fire Dragon. I'll take him if you don't want him. :-)

I lost my editor at Ellora's Cave a couple weeks ago, which means things slowed down with me there. I was just assigned another and will get up and running with her.

I have seen the cover for Catch a Falling Star from EC, which is out July 2, which I'll post as soon as it's "official."

My editor at Berkley asked me to be in another anthology, which is very cool. Once that's official, I can spill about that.

Plus I'm working more cool stuff for them and more Shareem for EC.

I'm a busy writer! But I post as soon as I have good stuff, like covers, excerpts, blurbs, and news.
