Love is the wiliest thief of all.

A Tale of Ithian

Malachy and his sister rely on his talents as a thief to survive the dangerous streets of Klathport, former capital of the once-great kingdom of Ithian. Stealing a few papers should have been a simple job. Instead, it nearly costs their lives and throws them into an improbable alliance with a shape-shifting official, a desert tribeswoman, and a healer of enchanting beauty.

Cerys is far more than a simple healerand the roots of her mission go deeper into the past than anyone can know. She needs Malachys skills to recover a stolen scroll, one that can be used to rewrite history and, in the wrong hands, release the dark powers of the Demon Realm.

Her mission was supposed to atone for a dreadful, long-ago act. Instead, it unleashes a chain of events which sees them pursued through city and desert by the fearsome Dune Witch and a killer known only as His Lordship. Romance, tragedy, and adventure blend in a tale of a magical land on the brink of war, and five unlikely allies who, by putting their livesand their heartson the line, have the opportunity to finally set things right.

But at a terrible cost.

Warning: Contains scenes of graphic violence and torture, captivating magic and beauty, two dashing heroes, three gutsy heroines, several love stories and a heartbreaking sacrifice.

Joy!

Last night I accepted an offer of representation from the fabulous Colleen Lindsay of Fineprint Literary Management.

I am:

(a) shellshocked

(b) overjoyed and really excited

(c) a bit bewildered

(d) all of the above (nothing new there).

We now return you to our normal programming…

It was 3am when the news broke. I was asleep!

The Wolf's Mate Book Trailer

Despite being in a plague house (no really) I've been pottering away, mainly with working on The Wolf's Destiny, but also with making a book trailer for The Wolf's Mate (because I love to tinker with them).

So here it is!



It also features the GORGEOUS cover by Natalie Winters.

The book comes out from Samhain on 19th January 2010 as an ebook. Later in the year, both "The Wolf's Sister" and "The Wolf's Mate" will come out in a print volume "Songs of the Wolf".

And in the meantime I have part three to write. :)

Soul Fire - "Let me start by saying 'wow!'"

A Super 5 Cherries review for Soul Fire came in this morning from Whipped Cream Erotic Romance Reviews:

"Let me start by saying "wow!"...R.F. Long has the amazing ability to drag her readers into the story and carry them along for the ride. The characters were unique and out of this world, yet they seemed like someone you could get along with and have fun with... If you want to read something mind-blowing and incredible then I would recommend you read this story." ~~ Tulip, Whipped Cream Erotic Romance Reviews - read the full review here.

I'm delighted. Just what a girl needs to sooth frazzled nerves before a book launch. :)

Soul Fire is currently available as an ebook from Samhain, Amazon's Kindle, and other online retailers and will be released as a print book on the 1st of May 2010.

Book launch at Octocon 09

(Poor neglected blogger, I always forget about you!)

I’m very excited to announce that there will be a book launch for the print edition of The Scroll Thief at Octocon, the National Irish Science Fiction Convention, this coming weekend. The convention runs from 10th to the 11th of October, and I’m scheduled for 5.30pm on the Saturday. If you’re there, come and say hello! I’ll have copies of the book for sale and a pale and terrified look on my face.

Soul Fire is out

And with all the excitement I completely forgot about blogger! Shameful huh?

Soul Fire released on 7th of July and has already got a wonderful review from ParaNormalRomance.org!

No question about it, Soul Fire is monumentally thrilling and exotic. I couldnt put the book down. A rare treat for me, I devoured this story from beginning to end in one sitting and I want more! ... An out of this world paranormal romance/fantasy story that will have readers clamoring for more, Soul Fire is one hot read I will be recommending to all of my friends.-- Amanda Haffery, ParaNormalRomance

Iron born and iron bred. Trust not iron, it will see you dead.

Rowan Blake could really use a magic wand to keep her struggling art gallery afloat. But the faerie key she stumbles across is far from a lucky charm. It’s a magnet for danger, and by touching it she’s unwittingly put herself in the middle of a war between the forces of light and dark. And in the arms of its rightful owner, Prince Daire.

While searching for his brother, Daire finds himself trapped in the Iron World with a mere mortal woman who ignites his passion like no other. Each stolen kiss deepens their attraction and sends him spiraling closer and closer to the edge of his inherent dark desires. Desires that act as a homing beacon for the Dark Sidhe, who are intent on forcing him to fight on their side.

The longer he lingers in her arms—and in her bed—the closer his enemies get to her door. And the greater the risk that the gateway to the Faerie Realm will shift, destroying not only his power to protect her, but his very life.

Warning: Contains enchantments, danger, some very scary monsters, a trip to the dark side and hot, soul-transforming sex with an immortal prince.
