Dragon questions

I've had a lot of questions regarding the Dragon series (Dragon Heat; Black Dragon; Dragon Master); e.g., is it the end?

I'd always intended the series to be a trilogy--and in fact Berkley bought the third book well after the first two (waiting to see how the first book did, possibly...which is why the year between Black Dragon and Dragon Master.)

I'd originally sold Berkley four books, two Dragons and two Heats--Mortal Temps and Mortal Seductions, which are both releasing this year.

(BTW, In case anyone finds this stuff interesting, I wrote Mortal Temptations before I wrote Dragon Master, but they were published in reverse order. )

What I'm working on now for Berkley is a brand new series that will debut in 2010. It's more urban fantasy, but with romance. You'll get a glimpse of it in the Christmas anthology, Hot for the Holidays, coming out in October.

For the dragons: I never say never. I might get the opportunity to do another one, and I wouldn't say no! For now, there aren't any scheduled.

Everything I post on my website is what's contracted and in progress, so if it's not there with at least a TBA date, then I don't have a contract for it. As soon as I make a sale, I post the book title and possible date.

(Which reminds me, I just made a Jennifer Ashley sale to Dorchester, and need to post that too!!)

As always, never hesitate to ask me questions about my books and series. I can't always answer email right away, but I get there! (Or if I get many of the same question, I answer it via blog.)

Dragon Master

The Dragon Master is out! You can read an excerpt on my Dragons page: www.allysonjames.com/worldofdragons.html. (Click "Dragon Master Sneak Peek.")

For e-book lovers, Dragon Master is also available as a Kindle book and from Fictionwise, and other sites where e-books are sold. At Amazon Kindle, it's right now in the top 100 bestselling romances (all romances) and at Fictionwise, it's in the top 10 of erotica.

Although . . . I don't know why this book is being classified erotic romance at Fictionwise and elsewhere. It really is paranormal romance--hot, but nothing like Mortal Temptations which will be coming out in January. That is true erotic romance, in the vein of my Ellora's Cave novels.

I just turned in the sequel to that, Mortal Seductions. What's next on my plate? Calder!! I finally have time to get to him. I wanted to earlier this year, but life and other contracted work intervened. But he's waiting for me, the big sexy hunk. I am looking forward to diving back into the Shareem world.
