October 2010 Devil’s Wife Competition

Here we are again, opening up the competition for a set of Devil’s Wife memorabilia. Winners for this month will recieve:

• a Devil’s Wife fridge magnet
• a Devil’s Wife t-shirt
• a Devil’s Wife notebook
• and a copy of The Devil’s Wife upon its paperback release, signed by me

So, this month’s challenge:

Who would you rather meet: Azrael (King of Limbo), Lucifer (King of Hell), or Jehovah (King of Heaven) and why? You can be as honest or as zany as you want. The best answer will recieve this month’s goody bag.

So, set to it! Their profiles are just above, under ‘Character Profiles’, ready for your reading.

Who could have known it would hurt so…

I handed in the final edit of The Devil’s Wife today. I miss Lucifer and the others already. If I had any ideas *hinthint* I’d write a sequel, but I don’t, so I’m lost.

But that’s okay. It means that I’m definately well on my way to being published. Huzzah!

*total spaz-out*

Just fnished Lauren Kate’s Torment.

Oh. My. God.

I’m starting to get insecure about Lucifer et al. What if they’re not so good? What if they’re just, for lack of a better word, crap?

Daniel and Luce and Miles are just such awesome characters (though my fav is still Arianne) That I’m wondering how good my Luce really is (Yeah. It was recommended his nickname had an ‘e’ added to it, because my editor kept reading ‘Luc’ as a French ‘Luke’ and worried others would too).

Okay, not, good, per sey, being the Devil, but still… Better than God, hopefully :)

Anyone else ever felt like this?

And So It Begins…

There’s a time in every author’s life when an editor must step in and have a look at your work, and decide what needs to be changed for both the good of the story, and the good of the novel (Yes, they are two different things!). This morning I recieved two bits of good news.

One, I have finally (after what amounts to 18 months of waiting since it was first picked up) had an author assigned to The Devil’s Wife. How exciting is that?!

Yes, I am well aware that come her revisions, I’m going to dread it. But hey, there’s plenty of reasons for my to celebrate that part of the waiting game being over.

This brings me to news #2. Being assigned an editor so early means that the release date has moved from May 2011 to March 2011 – two whole months ahead of schedule! Which is amazingly awesome, because it means that my editing won’t be starting during NaNoWriMo – and I’m going to see how well I can write a sequel to The Devil’s Wife during November, come Hell or… well, Heaven. More than likely, what will come is a disastrous plot, but that’s better than the non-plots I have right now.

I had better sign off before I start on a NaNoWriMo rant. Again.

August 2010 Devil’s Wife Competition

 I carved your name into my arm

Instead of stressed I lay there, charmed

My happiness is slowly creeping back

Now you’re at home

I’ve got to let you know

You’re one of my kind

Everywhere you go, I’ll come running

Everywhere you go, I won’t bring you down

If I could, then I would,

I’ll go wherever you will go

I always say how I dont need you

But it’s always gonna come right back to this:

I dont believe you when you say

You dont need me anymore

I want all the world to know

That I love you for what you are

You’re just like a pill

‘Stead of making me better

Would you have the guts to say

“I don’t love you lke I loved you yesterday”

Cheer up, sleepy Jean

Oh, what can it mean?

We were the special two

And never will be again

But I turn to you

Like a flower leaning towards the sun

At the end of the world, you are

The last thing I see, you are

Hard to believe, that

It’s not over tonight

I hear you call my name

And it feels like home

I’m standing here until you make me move

I’m hanging by a moment here with you

I want you loving and I want your revenge

You and me could write a bad romance

Say I wanna leave a hundred times a day

Easier said then done when I just cant break away

Do I cry too much? Am I too outspoken?

Don’t I make you laugh? Should I try it harder?

All I need is you in my life forever

All I need is you every day by my side

I can be your hero, baby

I can kiss away your pain

There’s something unpredictable

But in the end, it’s right

You can check out any time you like

But you can never leave

I told you I loved you

But now that’s all down the drain

But when I need you you’re almost here

And I know that’s not enough

Everytime I try to fly

I fall without my wings

And I know I’m right

For the first time in my life

Drinking whiskey and rye, singing,

This’ll be the day that I die

So since I’m not your everything

How about I be nothing

I’m in love with a fiarytale even though it hurts

‘Cause I dont care if I lose my mind, I’m already cursed

And when the stars are shining brightly in the velvet sky

I’ll make a wish, send it to heaven

And I’ll shout it to the blue summer sky

We may never meet again

So much for my happy ending

So much for my happy ending

 Now what songs are the lines from? First to get all of them right without using Google gets a tote bag with my name on it, a limited-edition Devil’s Wife bookmark and a paper-and-ink copy of Devil’s Wife when it’s released in May 2011. No cheating, guys! And I’ll be able to tell, because some of them have the same lines in 2 or more songs, or I’ve altered them slightly to mess with you.
