Brit Blaise grew up with a deep and abiding love for books. She believes in dark and dangerous heroes; strong women who aren't afraid to think for themselves; head-over-heels love; fairy tale endings and that it's more fun to laugh than to cry, but doing both at the same time is best of all.
Brit Blaise is a master storyteller. The characters in Time Thieves jump off the pages and the storyline is both action packed and exciting. The love scenes are so hot you'll be challenged to catch your breath. I hope that this is the beginning of a wonderful new series because I would love to hear Peck's tale. Or Lawzard's. - Two Lips

and so was my cover! I have all weekend to go over the galleys. Now I have to get a website going in my new name…my new, hard-cover, historical romance name!
On my other blog… http://www.butterscotchmartinigirls.com/?p=95
There are so many things that conspire to make a writer’s life more difficult, it’s hard not to dwell at times. Especially, when problems keep reoccurring. Last week, on the Dec. 21, I received a phone call and an email saying my manuscript was in galley stage and needed to be proofed. I was told I could expect it to be delivered by UPS within 2 days. And it was up to me to get my changes back to them by the 28th.
Two days later…no manuscript. 4 days later…no manuscript, but by now it’s the weekend and a holiday. I emailed the publisher and left a message on their phone system. Only nobody came back to work until the 27th. I reached a different person who found a tracking number and then told me it would be delivered today. However, when I put the same tracking number in the UPS system, I’m told the package will not be delivered until 01/03/2007. This is a full week after my deadline. And that’s not giving me time to do the work.
I called and spoke to a UPS person who assured me I was correct…the package is not scheduled for delivery until 01/03/07. I hate being associated with a manuscript having problems. Two years from now will the publisher remember the book and recall the problems were at their end…or will time shift the blame and taint my name and professionalism?
On the brighter side of writing life…I’ve been working on a story to honor my commitment another publisher. The story seemed to me…waaaaay BIG. Much too big for where I’d planned to send it. Certainly too big for the maximum requirement of 32,000 words as set forth for the line where I have committed to send 5 stories. Then something happened last night…I went to my group meeting with the butterscotch girls, and as soon as I sat down, they bombarded me about the new story I’d put up for them to critique. They are all convinced I have found the proverbial “high concept hook” worthy of a bigger publisher and best selling status. We’ll see.

This reviewer did each individual book…
Time Thieves by Brit Blaise
Rating: 4 Fleur-de-lis
From the far future, Daken and his band of four men, known as the Borka, travel across time to protect mankind. Their
mission is to save Earth from being destroyed by the Korin, an unscrupulous band of men who take whatever they want,
rape, murder and change history without conscience. When night security guard Jenny Bender is captured by Daken
her life is saved. The future is now changed again. They can’t risk her telling anyone about them, so Jenny is taken along
with them. Daken is drawn to Jenny, distracting him from the mission. As he comes to know her he falls in love with her
and once they make love she becomes his whole world, but still he has a mission to complete and time is of the essence.
Time Thieves was an imaginative and fast paced story that brought me along for the ride of a lifetime. I found it
interesting to watch Daken became both uncomfortable and aroused by Jenny at the same time. His ability to use his
mind to make her feel things gets their first sexual encounter off to an explosive start. What a way to discover each other!
I was so entranced with the story that I felt each and every touch they shared. It was a real adventure and worth the trip
to read their story. Warriors are truly an amazing breed of man no matter what time period they come from. What woman
wouldn’t want her own warrior?
