It seems like we’re inundated today with boxed sets and PNR stories. There’s a good reason for it—paranormal romances are enticing reads, and boxed sets are great values.
Recently I had the chance to participate in my first boxed set, a paranormal romance set with eight other authors. I didn’t know most of them, but the opportunity intrigued me. We’re all bestselling and award-winning authors, so I was confident the set would be successful. Instead of using one of my existing Medici Protectorate series novels, I decided to write a new story and gave it a go.
I didn’t want to do vampire story, though. Competition is fierce for stories of that particular creature, and I couldn’t think of a new angle. (I mean, other than making a vampire sparkle in the sun, I was fresh out of a new concept.) That’s when I decided to create a gargoyle novel. Turns out, there are more of them out there than I thought, but still not that many.
And Love Set in Stone was born.
I love the world Damien and Rina live in, and some of the characters became so dear to me, they’ve already found their way into another series I’m working on. But I digress…

Thanks for sharing, Staci. I too wanted to do something other than vampire, and I love vampire novels. I chose mummy. I’m so excited for the release.

Mummy is definitely something you don’t see very often. Your story was original, Michele. Great job!

Staci, thanks for this lovely introductory blog! I, too have written a gargoyle story…but it’s a short story. It felt fun and different so I’m really looking forward to reading yours. My story is set in my haunted bordello, Perdition House, with some very naughty ghosts who like to mess with the living. It was delicious to write!
It’s been such a pleasure to work with you on Paranormal Attractions!

They were indeed naughty! I’ve already read almost all of the stories (it’s a rather long set). I’m on the last one now. You write a steamy story, Bonnie! And it’s been a pleasure working with and getting to know you, too.

You know, it might be fun highlighting your gargoyle story as a companion piece on my site. If you want to do a guest post and talk about it if you are marketing it again (still), or if you ever want to guest post when you’re releasing something, just let me know.

I’m sure that box set will soar up the charts, especially at that price. I loved LOVE SET IN STONE (as well as ROMANCE UNDER WRAPS, and am sure the other stories are every bit as engaging. What great promo material for it too, I love the individual banners!

Thanks, Mae. I’m glad you liked Love Set in Stone (and Romance Under Wraps). I’m just now finishing the last novel in the set. It’s exciting, being part of a set of such accomplished authors. And I’m glad you liked the graphic teasers… they were one of my contributions to our marketing efforts.
