I haven't been around much here lately, and I apologize. All I can say is that it's been a crazy summer, with lots of family events to take up the time, lots of writing, editing, and various other responsibilities.
BUT, here are a few links to some of the online peeps I've been visiting lately.
I did a "Writing with the Stars" interview at Romance Author Hotspot to talk about silly things I've done in the name of research, the things I wish I'd known when I first started writing, and my call story -- amont others!
I was interviewed by bookreel.tv about the Wolf Girls Anthology, what inspires me, and some of my other projects!
I took part in Long and Short Reviews' anniversary celebration! (There are still prizes to be won!)
I was interviewed at She Wolf Reads about the Wolf Girls Anthology!
Also, the first review for Broken Promises is up!! Thank you RT Book Reviews for this great 4 star review! (avail. in magazine only)
"Coi’s second book in her steampunk Seasons of Inventions series is both an emotional and physical adventure. The author thoroughly immerses the reader in a Victorian atmosphere mixed with the creative technology of a mad scientist. Broken Promises reads at a brisk pace...daring the reader to keep up with its mysteries while providing brief moments of respite in the couple’s steamy and spontaneous lovemaking. The passion that drives Callie and Jasper to and from each other is palpable. Your pulse will be racing with every scene in this thrilling book. If you haven’t already read its predecessor, Far From Broken, you’ll be making a beeline to download it and see what other intrigues await."
I'll be back soon to share the fantastic cover for Broken Promises and give you some inside peeks!

Hot Angels
As part of the Hot Angels/Cool Demons blog tour, I figured I should show off my "hot angel", Gabriel, from FALLING HARD.
Gabriel is everything you love to hate in a celebrity. He’s a rock star. A hard-living, selfish musician whose music causes radio stations to go crazy with the bleeping, whose dirty jeans and Strokes t-shirt becomes immediate high fashion with misguided teenagers, and whose self-destructive behaviour makes everyone else shake their head. A bad boy of rock and roll--and he has all the angst and baggage that goes along with it. But after a devastating loss a year ago, he's tried to set his life to rights and may finally be on the right track...
Until he discovers he and the devil share a soul and that Lucifer will stop at nothing to use Gabriel as his ticket to living and breathing once more.
The only thing standing between Gabriel and destruction is the angel Amelia. The opposite of him in every way. Light to his dark. Calm to his anger and pain. Gabriel's turbulent emotions too often get the better of him, while Amelia's concrete control over hers only makes him want to work harder to ruffle her feathers.
As the darkness grows inside him, Gabriel begins to think not even Amelia can save him, and why should she? He has never doubted he was no good and he definitely doesn't deserve to be saved. How can Gabriel fight something he can't see, that's inside of him, a part of him? Should he even try?
Find out in FALLING HARD from Carina Press!
"Rocker. Emotionally scarred bad boy. Literal inner demons. Possible apocalypse. OK; truth be told, this book had me at the “rocker” and the rest was just icing on an already tempting brownie." ~ from BJ at Dark Side of the Covers Reviews
Don't forget! Commenters here and on the rest of the blog tour are eligible for great prizes! I'll be giving away a copy of FALLING HARD and a set of my romance trading cards!
Excerpt:
Her
gasp broke through their heavy breathing and deep kisses as Gabriel’s
hands pushed beneath the hem of her shirt. His calloused fingers were
rough on the smooth skin of her waist, up the length of her spine,
splaying over her back and pressing her closer to him as if they could
melt into each other and become one person.
Regret and disappointment. That’s what she felt when he finally broke away to look into her face. Her gaze was caught by the drugging temptation of his mouth, and she self-consciously bit her lip against the urge to kiss him again.

circled until she could look into his hard face. Despite his public
success and wealth, Gabriel’s was a face that had lived with much pain.
She knew better than most what he’d gone through, since she had been
there, seen it happen.
She’d experienced it with the detachment of her emotionless existence, but now there were too many feelings warring within her, swamping her with hurt and guilt and loneliness. All the images of
She’d experienced it with the detachment of her emotionless existence, but now there were too many feelings warring within her, swamping her with hurt and guilt and loneliness. All the images of
Gabriel's past came
back to haunt her. Amelia didn’t know how to make them stop. Maybe she
deserved to feel his pain now as if it were her own.
She did the only thing she could think of. She leaned forward and pressed her mouth softly to his, kissing him.
The sharp electric shock flaring between them was instantaneous. A stronger, deeper expression of the awareness and heat that had been building inside her, simmering just under the surface since their first meeting.
Spooked, she pulled back almost instantly, but Gabriel growled deeply and followed her. He wrapped his arms around her waist, crushing his lips to hers in firm, unrelenting hunger. It felt alien and wonderful at the same time. Amelia couldn’t fight it, however wrong, however forbidden. She wanted to explore these feelings she’d been given, was tired of pretending she didn’t have them.
After only a brief hesitation, she slid her hands up his chest, twined her fingers around his neck. The measured beating of her heart was a deafening hammering in her ears. She felt it pounding away and wondered if Gabriel could feel it too.
His soft lips felt sinful, so incredible. She moaned and Gabriel responded in kind, pressing for more, sliding his tongue over the seam of her lips before slipping inside to sweep her mouth. Again and again until she matched him, giving him her tongue so that they dueled together in a slick, sensual challenge.

Bad Blogger
I'm Sorry!!
I've been a very bad blogger here, but it's because I've been blogging in so many other places, and I've got a lot of those little balls in the air right now....
I know. Excuses, excuses.
Well, if you're looking for something a little more substantial than apologies and excuses, click on over to Tina Donahue's blog, where I'm talking about juggling priorities.

I'm so excited! The celebration is happening all over the interwebz, so come join us.
Here Be Magic

Julia Knight
Maria Zannini
Vauxhall Vixens
And don't forget to join me tomorrow morning at the Carina Press Blog
Also, as an added treat for release day, jump on over to my website here, for an exclusive deleted scene from Falling Hard.
After a life filled with tragedy, rocker Gabriel Gunn thinks he's finally getting the better of his personal demons. Then he's attacked after a concert—and rescued by a warrior goddess brandishing a sword and white wings. As hard as it is to believe in an angelic bodyguard, Gabriel must face an even more impossible truth: he carries the devil's soul within him.Amelia has been watching over Gabriel for years, using her angelic powers to prevent Lucifer's return. Now she must also protect him from warring angel factions with their own agendas. Amelia would do anything to avert another angelic war, even sacrifice her own emotions to avoid temptation. Yet with Gabriel she feels things she no longer wants to deny, and pleasure she never imagined.
But the closer Gabriel and Amelia get, the stronger Lucifer becomes. Will Amelia be forced to kill the man she's come to love to stop the war she's always feared?
Buy it!
