Hello!
It's been quite a while since I've posted. Back to back to back to back deadlines make for a very crazy Cheyenne.
Now that I've finished Zombies Sold Separately, I'm taking a look at changing my website design. Something brand spanking new that isn't so dark and that will reflect my personality. I'm tired of black. I want color!
I'm curious, ( Read more... ) -

Reading for Life
As if Disney wasn't surreal enough... This week, 2000+ romance writers and authors will amass at the Swan & Dolphin Hotels in Orlando for the 2010 Romance Writers of America national conference.

Strange Science and Ideas
I'm slightly ashamed to admit it, but most of the 'news' I read I find linked on twitter/facebook, posted about in blogs, or is sent to me by friends. This habit occasionally leads to someone trying to discuss politics or current affairs and me staring blankly until I have time to go look up what happened. But my less than traditional news sources ( Read more... ) -

Gee mom, what's with the stake?
In Unchained: the Dark Forgotten (released July 6!) my bad-ass, monster-hunting heroine is also the mother of a ten-year-old daughter. Ashe is a widow, and she’s returning to the family and home town she left years ago. Although she still hunts the occasional nasty beast, Ashe’s focus is on winning a custody battle with her in-laws. So, she’s hung ( Read more... ) -
An Introduction
An intro post always makes me feel like a highschool transfer student. You know, the one they make stand at the front of the class while she waits for the teacher to point her to a seat, and hey, while she's up there, why not introduce her? On the normal first day of class, no one gets introduced--it's only the transfer kids. Anyway, before I trail ( Read more... ) -
Variety IS the Spice of Life, Right?
So today marks the official release date for my debut urban fantasy, Red Hot Fury, which features fangs, fur, AND fey-though not vampires or the usual breed of weres. Don’t get me wrong-I LOVE me some vamps and weres-but for this particular series I featured mostly creatures of Greek/Roman mythology, like Furies and Harpies, some shapeshifters I ( Read more... ) -
Does the Anxiety Ever Go Away?
In April, I attended the RomanticTimes Booklovers Convention in Columbus, Ohio, and had the chance to have dinner with an amazing group of writers. We talked about dealing with bad reviews, the pressures of mounting deadlines, and the importance of social networking that all went along with the simple joy of putting our stories down on paper for ( Read more... ) -
credit where credit is due
As some of you know, my urban fantasy series (the Onyx Court) is historical, rather than modern. What you may not know is that this leads to interesting hijinks when it comes to my book covers.
For the third book in the series, A Star Shall Fall, I sent my editor an e-mail full of information to be passed along to the cover designer: descriptions ( Read more... )
