Charity Auction
Jan 19-26th
www.romanticinks.com

Katy is a sixteen year old avid reader and aspiring author and illustrator who has won local awards for her artwork. Just before Christmas, Katy and her mother became homeless. They were evicted from their apartment and have been living in hotel rooms (when they've been lucky) or their car (when they've not been so lucky) since then. Katy has been blogging about life on the streets, and you can read all about how this incredibly sweet mother and daughter ended up in this situation here: http://destinationanywherebuthere.blogspot.com/ As Katy states on her blog, "Homelessness has many faces. And sometimes it happens to have a computer." Both Katy and her mother seem to have very positive outlooks, but it's clear they're in some real trouble.

That's where this auction comes in. All proceeds will go toward helping Katy and her mother get back on their feet. This is a pair that are actively looking for ways to improve their situation, and just need a little push to help them get there. So, please bid generously and know that you're doing a wonderful thing to help two wonderful people.

Wow! I can't believe I haven't posted since July. It's not that I haven't been writing, I have. But there have been many real life things going on so this blog has unfortunately been neglected, along with my MySpace. But if you want to see what non-excitement you've missed, you can always check out http://hafowler.livejournal.com!

Stay tuned for more updates.

Greetings from the Tail End of Summer!

No, I'm not dead, but I thought you might have suspected I was! A lot has happened in the last nine months on the personal front, but the past month I have been CAUGHT IN THE THROES of writing. I love that feeling... I have two novels just pouring out of me at the same time, and after over a year of not being able to finish anything original, it's like the sky has opened and the sun is shining through! YAY!

And so, here's a little promo for THE VEIL series!

THE VEIL
500 Years Ago, a terrorist group tore a hole in reality, unleashing a universe of nightmares upon the Earth. A group of wizards and witches raised a barrier between the worlds to end that bloody onslaught.

They called it THE VEIL.

Now someone has decided to tear down the Veil and begin the carnage again. A series of bizarre ritual murders and kidnappings has the New Denver Police Department's Extranormal Investigations Unit scrambling for answers before the killer succeeds in his quest. The sole survivor of the attacks is sheltered high priestess Helene DuSolaire, known to her people as The Maitri. Hard-boiled vampire cop Devon Harrigan is a skeptic, and less than thrilled to be saddled with baby sitting duty. Until he discovers that Helene may know the key to the killer's plan.

Devon and Helene must race against time to stop the killer before he or she releases Hell on Earth!

OTHERWORLD

Just when Harrigan and Helene imagined their troubles were over and they would finally have the chance to try making a life together in spite of the odds stacked against them, the very enemy they thought vanquished reaches across the Veil and tears Helene away to the Otherworld, the land where nightmares are born and no soul--mortal or immortal--has ever gone and returned alive... or undead.

Now Harrigan must put everything he is, everything he values on the line, face his worst nightmares, and the most powerful, deadly wizard in the universe to march into Hell and save the only woman he has ever loved.

CHECK OUT THE BUZZ!

Don't miss the passionate and terrifying adventures of this irresistible paranormal odd couple in an unforgettable dark fantasy future. Available today from Cobblestone Press!

Yay! Finally back in action!

Hi everyone! Long time no update. I've had some personal issues going on, and not much to report in the original fic arena.

But now I'm back and proud to report that I've FINALLY finished editing OTHERWORLD, the sequel to THE VEIL, and sent it in for submission. I realize it's not a contract or a release, but after being so unproductive over the past year, I feel accomplished even getting this much done!

There's so much more on the horizon! I've set a goal to finally finish my latest novel, CITY OF NIGHT before NaNo starts November 1.

Stay tuned for more -- and more frequent -- updates! :)

Greetings, everyone!

It's been quite a while, hasn't it! I've been dealing with some health issues (again. How tired am I of being sick? There are no words!), but I'm back to work ONCE AGAIN. Hopefully my remission will last a little longer this time!

So much has been going on in the mean time! I missed the release of my newest Cobblestone Press project, the steamy Tryst novella, NEPTUNE RISING! It's available NOW!


Don't miss it!

In other news, my holiday story BETTER NOT CRY is due for release shortly from Liquid Silver Books. What better fun than bringing the spirit of Christmas to spring? Especially when there's a sexy, insatiable fairy involved!

Stay tuned for more news, including opportunities to win great prizes and free copies of my work!

Woohoo! Another Sale and Upcoming Appearances!

I just sold another story! You may remember earlier this year I wrote a story called NEPTUNE RISING, the story of sexy incubus Guardian Hart Campbell and his heroine, Kimber Andrews. Well, it's been floating around waiting for me to find it a home... and now it has one! I just sold NEPTUNE RISING to my beloved COBBLESTONE PRESS!!!

It's scheduled for a Valentine's Day release, so I have to play up those themes in the story, which was originally written with the astological aspects emphasized -- hence the "Neptune" part, Neptune being the planet of Pisces, and Kimber, the heroine, is a Pisces. It happened around her birthday in February... now I just have to change it to make it Valentine's Day, as well.

I'm so excited! This has been a GREAT year for my career! Let's hope next year goes as well or better! :)
