Livia Olteano Blog

I believe you've caught on to the fact I love virtual blog tours. There's something so succulent and pleasantly tingling about a schedule that is followed, about the day-to-day joy of spamificating the blogosphere... so addictive, right? Eheh...



So, I'm very happy to tell you I'm basically spending the summer spamificating. It's what I'm good at. I spamificate therefore I am. :D
Blitzkrieg Love will be on tour June 24 (aka publication date) - July 22 {weekdays, on the weekend we'll all be busy soaking up the sun, or in my case, hiding from it}, but before that June 3rd will be the awesomesauce cover reveal day. Now, I'm biased, but the snazzy mockup I've seen promises a lot of yummy. I can't wait for you guys to see Beatrice on that cover, and of course meet her and Anthony later on.
I'm very, very excited for this June to happen. Times goes by so slowly right now, gah. *inhales deeply*

I suck at waiting, let me tell you. You already know, I'm sure. Real easy to notice it, haha. But luckily for me, I won't be just waiting. :D The second part of today's good news is that Gargoyle Addiction {Otherworlds Summons #1} will go under the careful eye of my editor soon. I can't wait to have the edits done, then tackle the (most likely, soon-to-be-horrifying) process of tying up all the loose ends and unleashing Kann and Karla upon the unsuspecting public. New Adult Paranormal Romance, a good bit of story and some yummy romance (I'm biased, I know :D) will be coming your way sometime July.
I'll be closer to knowing the actual date sometime in June, most likely, and will spamificate you about it.

In other news, I've been ridden hard by my muse lately. *looks over her own words* Geez, it sounds so X-rated, haha. But it is kind of hardcore, when the muse hits and it does so without mercy. So I'm galloping through the 1st draft of the second book of the Otherworlds Summons. And some birds are chirping really, really loud right outside my window. Maybe the X-rated talking attracted them? Uhm, yeah, as I was saying... I'm writing, so yeeey!

Am I working on some of my other WIP-s as well? But of course, haha. On like 2 of them. A 3rd one is again in standby. But I'm not too worried, I'll have to wait for stuff to happen in July too, then again sometime during fall (or maybe more than once, we shall see) - my point is, I'll have to wait therefore I'll write, haha. Fingers crossed I'll have some more goodies to show soon.

I'm delighted to tell you guys that Blitzkrieg Love will be out this summer! :D

I'm super, super excited about it and can't wait for you all to meet Beatrice and Anthony. They're a bit of a hot mess and I hope you'll love them as much as I do. Aaaaand, of course, I can't wait to see the cover, because, well... I R coverwh0re for sure, hehe. Can't wait, can't wait, can't wait!

In other news, Easter is coming up (5th of May), so if any of you guys are celebrating it I wish you Happy Easter and all the best to you and your loved ones and everyone, if you celebrate it or not :)

The bad news is summer is coming upon us. I hate summer. The heat just melts my brain, if it were up to me I'd probably move up to like Siberia or something. On the upside though, this will be the first summer I will love since Blitzkrieg Love is coming out, and also another project of mine that I've been working on for a while.

You've heard me talk about that PNR project for like a year (or more... ^__^' ) and I finally decided to take the chance with it and just unleash it upon you, lol. Gargoyle Addiction, the first Otherworlds Summons story will be out sometime July. Wish me luck with all the self-pub stuff to come, right?
In the meantime, I'm waiting to begin working on Gargoyle Addiction with my editor. I'll let you guys know when it'll be out when I know. I'm very excited about it, it's a New Adult story, just like Blitzkrieg Love, though where BL is a spicy romance the Gargoyle Addiction is less spicy but still has some heat. What can I say, I can't seem to keep the heat out entirely.
And I keep valiantly working on another 4 WIP-s right now. Crazy, I know. But as long as it works, I'm just going to enjoy riding the madness.

So this summer is going to be an eventful one for sure, and I already know the fall will be eventful too with Sandstorm Heart coming out from Dreamspinner Press. The Heracian Affair has been getting some very nice reviews that I'm very happy about, and I'm happy it's gonna have a sibling soon.

I mentioned this many times already this year, but I'm super happy about how 2013 has turned out so far. And we're just reaching close to half of the year, who knows what sort of exciting news the rest of the year will bring, right? Fingers crossed and muses unleashed, hehe.

Thank you guys for being here beside me for all of it. :)

I'm delighted to tell you that my little darling, The Heracian Affair, that we've been talking about since March 20 (date of its birth), will have a sibling in autumn, lol!! *runs around screaming*

Okay, okay. I'm calm. A girl can freak out a bit about these things, it's only natural. Shhhh, don't ruin my mood by saying otherwise. Freaking out is my prerogative, lol. I write, I read, I blog, I freak out therefore I am.

So, Sandstorm Heart will be out from Dreamspinner Press sometime in autumn. What can you expect from it? Some more of the space opera (I call it) world you saw in The Heracian Affair - that is to say, some more of that feel. But not the same world or creatures, new stuff, lol. New stuff, new characters, same themes of BDSM (meh) / Kink (oh, yeah) and D/s but with a different twist. Maybe some hotter stuff then in The Heracian Affair or more hardcore a wee bit, still no non-con. Intense, but not non-con. I love reading some dubious-con and the occasional non-con with the right spin, but so far my writing explorations haven't taken me into that land yet. Maybe they will, who knows.

The whole point of the Space Files R is to explore imaginative space and couple chemistry&dynamics. And torture characters, because I love to do that. They love it too, I swear! Win-win situation all around, I get my kicks out of torturing them, they get their kicks and then some, and then we all enjoy them. Totally sounded dirtier then it is. ^__^  But yeah.

Sandstorm Heart will be a bit more dramatic maybe, but if you read and liked The Heracian Affair, I think you'll enjoy Sandstorm Heart. Rizzo and Conrad were really fun to play with and I love them lots, but I can't wait to introduce you guys to Ron and Zaoh. You'll have a blast following them to their happy ending, hur~hur.

*runs around screaming some more*
