Year in retrospect

It's been a wild year as I tried to clamour out of a funk and get back after 2009 knocked me off my feet with a high risk pregnancy and absolutely no writing.

2010 my Muse came back--well, really she returned in June of 2009 after I delivered, but I needed that time to get WIPs finished and books written to get ready for 2010.

I had four releases in 2010:


ENEMY ENCHANTRESS a re-release of Enchantress The Fey was released in July of 2010 from Eternal Press.

















SORCERESS FROM THE SEA which is a re-release of Enchantress The Sorceress released in September 2010 from Eternal Press.












HEALER OF THE HEART released from Eternal Press in December 2010.























GLADIATOR'S REVENGE from Ellora's Cave released in December 2010, which was a long awaited redubt to EC. My last release with EC was February 2009 with Hard Candy.











I also made a couple sales which will be coming out in 2011:

MALE ORDER a Quickie from Ellora's Cave
GLADIATOR'S ATONEMENT coming from Ellora's Cave

AND my debut under my paranormal/urban fantasy name A.C. Ruttan INCARNATE is coming from Samhain Publishing.

I also had a freebie HOLLOW by A.C. Ruttan which is available here

My site and blog were redesigned and I lurve them. That is my year in a nutshell. It's been a crazy one, but a great one. Now, if I can only match the releases for next year to this past one. I have a good head start with 3. LOL!

Happy New Years my friends.

New Release & Snowmageddon

I so thrilled that Healer of the Heart is now out from Eternal Press. It is the third book in the Enchantress Series, I'm still writing that fourth book. LOL!

You can find out more about it here.

As for Snowmageddon, where I live is getting absolutely blasted by snow since Sunday. The schools were closed again, and I live on the same street as my school, but there are six foot drifts and close to a meter recorded snowfall, and guess what it is still snowing.

We just got another warning and the mayor is thinking about declaring a state of emergency. I lived in Toronto during Mel Lastman's reign when Snowmageddon hit Toronto and he declared a state of emergency, so believe me I'm not mocking Joe Fontana at all.

Anyways, that is where I am at. How are you? :)

Fantastic Review & Other Assorted Things

So I got my first reader review for Gladiator's Revenge and I couldn't be more thrilled. The reader absolutely adored it and I'm over the moon. I had been worried about Taranis's reception. SO YAY!

I'm still sick with a sinus infection, and the last time I had this it turned into walking pneumonia this summer. I'm having a hard time breathing and I'm praying it's not another relapse. Boo! I have WAY too much to do, like write the third book for my Ancient Rome series.

Tuesday is my release from Eternal Press, the third book in my Enchantress Series Healer of the Heart.

Also Christmas is coming, and though my decorations are up my baking is sorely falling behind. Hoping I can get over this infections hump so I can start to bake again. I have BIG baking plans this Christmas, like Pioneer Woman's Rum Cake, Nanimo Bars, Yule Logs and Oreo truffles. Mmmm.

We're also in a snowsquall warning and supposed to get 8 inches of snow. It's starting to feel a lot like Christmas here.

So how are you this fine Sunday?
