Happy Halloween!

And happy birthday, Jericho Barrons! (One more year. That makes you how old?)

I envision Mac baking Barrons a pink birthday cake and I laugh.

I’ve always loved Halloween, every superstitious, mystical, over-the-top thing about it. It was never about the candy for me. It was about getting to pretend to be something else, anything else, and dressing up. It was the feeling in the night air that anything was possible, that there really was a crack between All Hallows Eve and Samhain, when something otherworldly might slip through. Or maybe, I'd slip through myself.

There’s also the small fact that the day following Halloween is my birthday, so I not only got to pretend not to be me, I got presents, too. LOL.

Tomorrow I turn 43. I’ve always been a late bloomer. When I got married a few years ago, I thought I’d be pregnant by now, but Lyme disease sure put a halt to that. I tell myself a lot of women have babies later in life and that I’ll be fine in another year. Birthdays make me think of dreams won and lost.

So, two questions for you: What will you pretend to be today? And what dream do you most wish you could make come true?

Welcome!

Bloodfever is finally on sale, and I’m thrilled to have the new site, www.sidhe-seersinc.com up and running. It’s a companion site to www.karenmoning.com, but devoted solely to the Fever series. Mac’s world needs room to grow. The site is a work in progress, with more on the way. We’ve got some great stuff up already, and even more exciting things to come.

For those of you who are new to my books: the Fever series is comprised of five novels to be read in the following order: Darkfever, Bloodfever, Faefever, Dreamfever and Shadowfever. The first three are complete. The final two are being completed. The last page of Shadowfever is written.

For those of you who know me from my Highlander series, be warned: the Fever series is different. The five books are connected, which means each novel achieves a denouement, but the overall arc of the series won’t conclude until Shadowfever. If it did, there’d be nothing else to write about. Additionally, the books of the Fever series are not romance novels. There’s romance in them, there’s sex, there’s love, but they were never intended to be single-title romance novels, so stop expecting it. If that’s what you want, read my Highlander books.

But…if you want all the great mythology that forms the background of my Highlander series, amped up, fleshed out, told by a sidhe-seer as she struggles to learn what she is and how to survive, caught between a death-by-sex Fae and an enigmatic bookstore owner that even the immortal Fae seem to fear, read on. If you want to delve deep into the Seelie and Unseelie realms, if you want to know what really happens behind all the happy Keltar stuff, come on in. If you want to walk on the dark side with my creative muse, check the series out. Otherwise, go away. I’m tired of being told Darkfever’s not a romance. I know it’s not. I wrote it.

If you’ve made it past that caveat, welcome, and I’m so glad you’re here! Take a look around, check in at the Wall and let me know you stopped by, explore Mac’s Dublin, crank up and enjoy the kick-ass theme song for the Fever series, and stop back regularly because we’ve got something coming up in the next month that seriously rocks.

When you’re done, drop by my message board at my other site, take a look at all the Fever theories, and let us know yours.

I’m blessed to have such wonderful readers, so many smart, funny, creative women (and men) hanging out, making awesome fan art, showing me you’re paying attention, and keeping me on my toes.

A thousand welcomes!

Karen
