I didn't win a PRISM

But I did come in second in two categories and I respect the books that won. Just making it to the finals to be listed with them is an honor.

Congratulations to the winners!

Cheers,

This is what my EPPIE looks like

I'll put together a better picture soon, but I really wanted to show everyone just how pretty it is.

Oh, in addition, there will be a special party over at the
Cerridwen loop today between 4 and 8 Eastern time. They are celebrating the release of eleven titles in print, including All Night Inn and they are giving away as prizes print copies of the books!

Cheers!

EPPIE WINNER!

I am simply thrilled that ALL NIGHT INN has won the 2006 EPPIE for Best Fantasy/Paranormal Romance Novel! The awards were announced Saturday night and I just got official confirmation today, although several friends emailed me yesterday about it.

Last night I called my son and told him to go to the EPIC url where there was a picture of the award. I then told him to imagine it said "2006" and that where the author's name was it was "Janet Miller"... He burst out laughing and congratulated me.

Cheers!

Another Top Pick???

Fangs For The Memories by my alterego, Cricket Starr, is a Romantic Times Top Pick in the April Romantic Times Magazine! Since Beloved Enemy was designated a Top Pick in January, that makes two of these this year!

I couldn't be more pleased.

Cheers,
Janet/Cricket

CAPA Nominee!

The ALL NIGHT INN had been nominated for a CAPA award for 2005. This is the Cupid and Psyche Award given by The Romance Studio's reviewers. What a beautiful Valentine's Day present!

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!

Cheers,
Janet/Cricket

Holiday Reflections is released!

Holiday Reflections, an anthology that holds the first of two holiday stories I've written has been released from Ellora's Cave! Be sure to check out the excerpt!

Next week, on December 14, will be the second release, Ghosts Of Christmas Past, a White Hot Holidays and Hollywood After Dark quickie.

Cheers,
Janet/Cricket

Beloved Enemy - 4.5 STARS, TOP PICK!

I've just found out that the January issue of Romantic Times Magazine has selected my New Concepts book Beloved Enemy by Janet Miller as one of their Top Picks! This is a wonderful honor and I'm just thrilled to pieces with the review.

Cheers!
Janet/Cricket

Reviews for All Night Inn

The reviewers have been delightful in expressing their enjoyment of my first Parafolk tale and I've compiled several of the reviews onto the All Night Inn page. Check them out!

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!
Janet/Cricket

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.
