Good News!

Montrose Romance has released a new trade paperback edition of THE GIFT. It is available here http://www.amzn.com/dp/1477806326/ as of March 12, 2013.

You can read reviews and the first chapter at my site, here: http://www.debstover.com/thegift.html

The original mass market and kindle editions are also still available.

There's a video trailer here: http://youtu.be/QXGowseqJVA  The final frame gives the incorrect publisher information, as it should be Amazon's Montlake Romance, but the rest is still good. :)

Happy reading, all!

The Gift has survived the demise of Dorchester Publishing, and is now being offered by Amazon's Montlake Romance.

Empath, Beth Dearborn, relives the deaths of those who die violently, and lives to tell the tale of their demise.  It makes her the perfect homicide detective, but it also drives her to drink.  Is it a gift or a curse...?

Some Like It Hotter back on Kindle

It's alive again at Amazon Kindle as of today!  Thanks for your patience.


Blurb:
"Natchez detective, Mike Faricy, is living a nightmare. First, his partner and best friend is killed in a shootout. Then a strange man appears at the precise moment Mike offers to sell his soul in exchange for his partner's life. Before Mike can blink, the man promises him the chance to change June 19th, the day before the killing. Who can blame him for at least trying? But he should have read the fine print. Now Mike is facing Abigail Kingsley--a knockout woman in Civil War-era garb who insists it is June 19th, all right...1865! A man out of time. A woman out of options. Time-travel Romance at its very best!"

Dirty Harry meets Scarlett O'Hara and there's hell to pay....

           They stood facing each other beneath the stars, and Abigail wondered if these feelings were the sort of thing poets knew when they penned beautiful, heartrending words.  She felt so strange, as if she and Mike were no longer of this world.  They were with the stars, suspended apart from pain and reality.
           Safe.
           His breathing grew louder and mingled with her own as the seconds ticked by.  Though he still hadn't touched her, she felt him, felt a power emanating from him and into her.  An invisible bond spanned the distance between them, drawing her to him unlike anything she'd ever known or even dreamed of.
           She could almost see it--this magical force that drew her to him.  Her insides ached and throbbed, empty and weeping for him.  "Mike."  His name was barely more than a strangled whisper, torn from her lips by desperation and a need so raw and fierce she felt she might die from it.
           Then he touched her.

The F Word

My name is Deb Stover and I'm a genre slut--technically, a sub-genre slut.  My published novels, short stories, and novellas all fall under the romance and/or women's fiction umbrella.  However, from there they pretty much run the gamut.

Time travel, historical, paranormal (ghosts, reincarnation, angels, curses, witches, devils, fairies), fantasy, contemporary, suspense/mystery, western, sexy and not-so-sexy, humorous and serious, scary and not-so-scary, and...so forth. 

Yep, I'm a serious sub-genre slut....

My brilliant literary agent advised me a decade ago that I should focus.  I cringed.  The "f" word?  F-f-f-f-focus?  Only write one kind of book?  Seriously?

Yes, seriously.  In order to build my readership, I should f-f-f-f-focus on one sub-genre for several books and stop being so, er, promiscuous with my muse.

This is like the desert island question.  If you were stranded on a desert island with only one book to read, what would it be?  Voracious readers consider this a special level of hell.  One book?  Yikes!  What a nightmare...

So, just as I decided to try f-f-f-f-focusing on contemporary paranormal romance for a while, my personal life went into the tank.  My husband's cancer came out of remission and became terminal, my health took a horrible turn, and I spent approximately six years pretty much unable to work.  I finally finished The Gift, which is a paranormal contemporary romantic suspense psychic empath ghost story (big grin), and realized, after losing my beloved husband, that I did not want to f-f-f-f-f-f-focus on this type of book.

Life is too short, and writing is too hard, not to follow our muse.  Yes, I absolutely agree with my brilliant agent's F-word advice.  She's wise far beyond her years.  However, I realize now I need to f-f-f-f-f-focus on the books of my heart.

I need to practice what I preach.  I often tell beginning writers not to write what they don't enjoy reading.  I ask them what type of book first made them sit down at the keyboard and type that first manuscript.  So I asked myself those same questions.

I've just completed a proposal I warned my brilliant literary agent is "classic Deb Stover."  Bless her, she said, "That sounds wonderful."

Let's hope she still feels that way when she reads it.  :)

Writing is hard work--really hard work.  Before we publish, we do it for love, and because our Muse demands we breathe life into the characters who haunt us day and night.  There's no money, no royalties, no deadlines.  It's all for the passion and pleasure of storytelling.  And, if we get lucky, we get both.

I got lucky back in 1995 when my first book was published.  I have to say that almost every one of my published novels have been books of my heart.

I'm ready to get lucky again.

Happy writing and reading!

Love,
Deb

Another Review!

Nice. I think I should have bought a lottery ticket today, too. :)

THE GIFT – Deb Stover – Love Spell – 9780505526069 –
Kay Quintin, reviewer - Fresh Fiction

"Thrilling romantic suspense at its best!
THE GIFT is an extremely exciting thriller full of the extraordinary; fascinating and exceptionally entertaining. Deb Stover has a gift for capturing and keeping your attention throughout the entire novel. The story is unique and unlike other stories of this nature. I found this an extremely difficult book to put down. Each page turns itself. A must-read if you want that different but really exciting thriller."

RT Reviews THE GIFT!

"Readers will rejoice at the return of one of the romance genre's special talents! Stover is back and jumping right into the romantic suspense game, while giving it a paranormal twist. Stover's heroine is competent yet damaged, both by the past and her "gift". This melting pot of murder mystery, passion and ghosts makes for an outstanding storytelling stew!"

On the front:

DEB STOVER

THE GIFT

"A blend of romance and mystery with just the right twist of the paranormal, The Gift by Deb Stover is an intriguing tale, a real page turner."
New York Times best-selling author Lisa Jackson

And on the back:

Blood. Rivers of it.

The visions are overwhelming. They come every time Beth visits the scene of a murder. She lives the victim’s last moments, feels the pain, sees the perp. And it’s driving her mad.

A flat tire. A deserted country road. A man too hot to be true.

Trading life as a Chicago homicide detective for a job as a nomadic insurance inspector was supposed to keep her safe. Ty Malone is anything but. What isn’t he revealing about the missing person’s claim on his ‘runaway’ wife? What really happened to beautiful Lorilee Brubaker-Malone? And just how far will Ty take his seduction of the one woman whose gift can uncover the terrifying truth?

Cover art and excerpt here.

Happy reading!
