The Girl In The Box

This was one of my earliest published stories, released in 2003 by LTD Books in the Dream Quest anthology. Now that book is out of print and the rights have reverted so I thought I'd give everyone a little treat for the new year.

To put this story in perspective, it features Ganth, the son of General Garran Doranth who is the hero of my New Concepts Publishing novel Promises To Keep which was a finalist in the EPPIES competition last year. The Dream Quest anthology itself was a finalist for the PEARL awards in 2003, given by Paranormal Romance.

So, check out The Girl In The Box!

Two things to CHEER about!

First of all, my parafolk story, All Night Inn has finaled in the Romance (Fantasy/Paranormal) category of the EPPIES! This is a fantastic honor, and the second time in two years that it has happened. I'm really thrilled.

In addition, Ghosts Of Christmas Past, the second of two holiday stories I wrote this year has been released from Ellora's Cave!

This is a White Hot Holidays and Hollywood After Dark quickie, about a vampire (that is, a "nightwalker") who doesn't like to spend the holidays alone. But when he snatches a desperate woman from the sky, he brings home more than he bargained for.

Be sure to check out the excerpt!

All Night Inn is out!

My parafolk book, All Night Inn, has just been released from Cerridwen, the non-erotic imprint of Ellora's Cave!

ALL NIGHT INN by Janet Miller

I wrote this book first, then have written other parafolk books since then. Fangs For The Memories by Cricket Starr which came out two weeks ago had Sharon and Jonathan show up briefly. Kind of a cameo appearance. That book has gotten a lot of attention. I sure hope people enjoy this book as well.

Cheers!

Two sets of vampire...I mean Nightwalker stories, to choose from!

Beloved Enemy Cover

Well, it seems that Beloved Enemy, my newest Gaian book, may be coming out very, very soon. And isn't this a fabulous cover?

My, my, I wouldn't mind getting stuck on a deserted planet with him.

Sold another book!

I've finally finished a second science fiction romance book in the futuristic world I created in Promises To Keep and sold it to New Concepts Publishing. Titled Beloved Enemy this book actuallly takes place earlier than Promises To Keep, during the last years of the Earth/Gaian war.

It is about two pilots from opposite sides of the war who are stranded on a deserted planet. Mea is a member of Earthforce and a survivor of the expulsion of her people, the Travelers, from the mining platforms that had been her childhood home. Kavath is a Gaian pilot whose sister was killed in the first attack Earth made against the rebel planet. But when Mea turns out to be his sexual match, she and Kavath must decide if what is drawing them together is more important than what is keeping them apart.

Sound good? I hope so!

Cheers,
Janet/Cricket

Cerridwen Cover!

As I said earlier, I sold my parafolk book, All Night Inn, to Cerridwen, the non-erotic imprint of Ellora's Cave. While the release date isn't set yet, I've got my cover, showing my vampire, Jonathan, playing the guitar for Sharon, his new companion. They are outside in the moonlight. So romantic!


Can't you just imagine what kind of beautiful music they are going to make together?
