A short HELLO and FALL is almost HERE!!!



Hey Everyone! Just a short note here--I've been horrible at checking in and posting, especially since I haven't had a good ghostie romance released in some time. BUT....I will be posting more soon! I've sold a Young Adult Ghost Romance to Scholastic Books that I'm SO excited about, entitled FOREVERMORE. Haunted Scottish Castle. Spunky young violinist. Handsome young ghost. Love. Mystery. And all that jazz! This title releases next Fall, and I will be writing under Cindy Miles! I will have another Cindy Miles website, specifically for young adults, but I'll be keeping this one alive and well. Hopefully, one day, I'll be able to work on a few more ghostly knights!


Here I am claiming the Highlands! I had a wonderful trip to Scotland with my daughter and a dear friend of mine, author Leah Marie Brown. I'll post more Scotland pics later. ON DEADLINE NOW FOR FOREVERMORE!!!!


Check back soon, I hope Fall has befallen everyone (my FAVE time of year!!!) and is enjoying ghosts, vibrant leaves, and chilly weather!!!! (not so much here in the South! Phooey!)

Hello out there!

Wow--it's been a LONG time since I posted here. I'm sorry! It's hectic like crazy keeping up with two personalities! Lol! Apparently, I'm not very good at it! I do apologize, folks.

I hope everyone had fabulous holidays, a super-start to a great new year, and everyone's reading superb books!

Savannah, GA has been hit with some seriously cold/wet weather this winter, so I thought I'd post a nice beachy scene to warm us all up ;)

A little update: Unfortunately, I don't have news that a new Cindy Miles novel is in the works, BUT--for those of you who read MacGowen's Ghost and Thirteen Chances, you may remember Captain Justin Catesby? I've given him a little happy-like ending in a short story that will release via The Mammoth Books in October! The Mammoth Book of Ghost Romances! I don't have a cover yet, but I will post it on the website as soon as I get it. My short story is called THE HEART THIEF. More updates on that one later!

What I'm working on: Well...I'm not only working with a new agent, but a new editor, as well. :) I'm THRILLED with both! The super-talented, highly-energetic and just plain NICE, DEIDRE KNIGHT, from The Knight Agency, is representing me now, and we are excited about a number of projects! My new editor at NAL is the lovely and enthused Jhanteigh Kupihea, and I'm so happy to be on her list of authors!

I'm on the last installment of the Savannah Vampires series, The Dark Ink Chronicles. Book Three, EVENTIDE, is due to release March 2012. That deadline for that book is March 1st, so I've been busy on it!! At the same time, I'm changing gears a bit and working on some younger projects that I'm SO excited about!!!! The second I can divulge the info, I will!!!

Meanwhile, THANK YOU, Readers! The Cindy Miles books are still selling, and as you know, they are my HEART. I really miss writing them, and hope to one day get the chance to work on them again--especially Jason's story. :) I love him!

And thank you to all the new readers of Cindy Miles books, for sending me the greatest emails! I really appreciate them!!!

On a personal note...my baby (well, 17 year old daughter!) graduates high school in May (SOB!) and we are headed to Scotland for 3 weeks for a pre-college trip! I hope to gain inspiration for new material, stomp around some old castles, and hit a few new places that I haven't been to before, like the Orkney Isles. So excited!

Well I hope all of you are staying warm, reading lots, and keeping healthy! I will try my best to post at least once a month here, so check in, leave me a comment, and enjoy the site!

Happy 2011!!!!!

SILENCE: BROKEN! The Secret is OUT!!!! ;)



Okay, guys! I know I've made you wait a long time for this (and hopefully there are still a few of you around to read this!!!) but honestly--I was literally given the OK by my publisher to "let the cat out of the bag" earlier today. So here goes!!!.....


New pen name: ELLE JASPER

New series: The Dark Ink Chronicles

Book One: AFTERLIGHT

Release date: November 2, 2010


Content: VAMPIRES in SAVANNAH!!!


!!!!!!!!


Now...most of you who've read my books love the low-impact sex (ie: usually ONLY in the last chapter, and after the vows have been said!!!) as is the nature of my light ghosties! I shall give you all fair warning: The Dark Ink Chronicles are wicked-sexy, gritty, with occasional BAD LANGUAGE. EEK! Some of you use to write and tell me MORE SEX!!! Lol! Well you'll find it in this new series for sure. my hero and heroine, Eli and Riley, are wicked crazy about each other, and they don't play games!


I completely understand different tastes in reading, and I know not all of you will like/be interested in my new work. I LOVE my Cindy Miles books, and I LOVE the characters. I hold a special place in my heart for them all and would LOVE to work on those stories again. But, I had to flex my versatile muslces and swing a little with the market, and The Dark Ink Chronicles definitely reflect that! While my new characters are alot different than my ghosties, I love them just the same. To me, they're real, they're deep, and I'm very attached to them!


But if you do take a chance and buy the book, I hope hope hope you totally enjoy! There's a contest running, and if you're already a subscriber to my Newsletter, no worries--you're already entered! If not, then visit the website www.ellejasper.com and take a look around. Join my Newsletter! And check out my character bios/portraits of my hero and heroine! And definitely send me a shout-out via email! elle@ellejasper.com
Thanks to all of you, and now that I'm able to Break The Silence, hopefully I'll be able to stop by here a bit more often!!!
HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!!!!!!

Great News!

Hey Everyone! I just found out that we have sold German Foreign Rights for MACGOWAN'S GHOST! How cool is that? :) THANKS, GERMANY!!!!!

For those who may not know how it works, the book will be translated in German and given a new cover. Cool! As soon as I recieve the cover I'll post it! I'm anxious to see what they come up with. I love my present cover for it though! :)

Small update (since I'm so bad about jumping on here!): I am busy at work with not only Captain Justin Catesby's story, but a Young Adult novel as well. It's not sold yet but I plan on completeing the manuscript by September. Wish me luck!

I hope everyone's staying out of the heat (if you live in it!) and having a wonderful summer! I love the 4th of July--the whole Sandlot, fireworks, hotdogs, homemade icecream thing! But once it's over I'm then ready for FALL!!! :) It has been blazing hot here lately (Savannah, GA) but we get storms every evening and it seems to cool things off. My daughter and I set the tripod up last night and took some really cool pics after the storm, of the moon and weird clouds. I'll have to upload them and post! :)

ALSO! For those of you traveling or living in the Orlando, FL area, plan to stop by the Romance Writers of America Convention July 28th through the 31st. I will be there signing copies of THIRTEEN CHANCES at the big Books for Literacy Signing. Go here to check out details: http://www.rwa.com/

Okay! I miss all of you and hope you're all having a fab summer! Stay cool!

Captain Justin Catesby! :)

Hey Everyone!

WOW! I know it's been a lonnng time since I posted. So busy these days! I hope everyone is having a super summer! So far, not sweltering here in Savannah, but I know it's coming!

So! FINALLY! Justin Catesby (for those who may not remember, he was the ghostly young, flirty sea captain introduced first in MacGowan's Ghost!) is getting his own story! I am in the process of plotting it out now, but it will be included in another great collection of short stories in the Mammoth Books, by editor Trisha Telep! As soon as I get the details, I'll post them. I'm not even sure when the deadline is for it! I'll keep you updated, and as soon as I get my story together I'll give you guys a little peek! :)

I'll post more soon! Lotsa movies to chat about, and books. :) Has anyone seen Letters to Juliet? OMG, that movie is FANTASTIC!!!! Went with super-girlfriends and we had a blast. LOVED the movie!!!

Okay! Catch you soon!
Cindy
