Urbanfantasylite
From a Kindle promo website comes this definition of urban fantasy:
magical elements set within the real world.
Many UFs are very dark, grim, serious. As none of my novels contain these elements, it seemed appropriate to add the word "lite" to my site. Not "light" as in bright and shiny and enlightening, "lite" as in beer, entertaining.
Skol!

Free short stories
Valentine Vampire is a short ebook with two stories about Dominic, a character in the Turning Vampire series. If you like a little history with a vampire romance, Valentine Vampire is set in Chicago on the night of the St. Valentine’s Day massacre in 1929 which happened two blocks from my grandmother’s house and yes, she heard the machine guns. Back then, nobody went running out into the street to investigate gunfire.
FREE for nook, Smashwords, Kobo.
Enjoy!

My latest hobby -
Because I have all this free time to procrastinate -
Writing has led me to a new hobby. I have no photo skills, but fortunately modern cameras do all the hard stuff. This gives me a chance to snap locations of scenes in my books. Some of my photos get incorporated into the book covers. Now some of my amateur shots are at http://mudflatbks.blogspot.com.
Why am I procrastinating? Well, I just finished the third book for my Turning Vampire series for Dark Quest and must now get busy on the fourth book in the Sunspinner series. And maybe a seventh book for the Mudflat Magic series, but probably not until 2014. Currently, I have a novel and two short story collections FREE at several sites. You can find the link to your specific ereader on my website at http://phoebematthews.com, The free novel is Tyrant Trouble.
Hugs and happy reading,
Phoebe Matthews

John Mellancamp speak out against piracy
"Tell me where, under today's conditions of de facto indentured servitude, will the new artists come from? If I were a young songwriter today, I would definitely be looking for another way to earn a living. The same would go for the young screenwriter or novelist. And what about the guy who only had one or two hit records 10 or 50 years ago? What happens to this guy who depends on that income to support his family if people are stealing those songs now? Tough luck, right? This is the thread of failure in front of all artists today. Art exclusively as a hobby -- that's the "new model" it seems. And to all you bloggers who have prophesized that this new way is going to somehow provide sustainable careers? Your prophecies did not and will never come true. If there is the occasional sparkle of success, it usually turns out to be nothing more than a novelty, not a new business model. We need to restore intellectual property to its rightful owners and reconstruct the business that has lost thousands and thousands of jobs plus billions of dollars in revenue."

Shark's Mate (m/m) just released!
So I am just doing a happy dance. My book Shark's Mate is finally available and up on the Siren website. I've included an excerpt for your reading pleasure. Enjoy!
SHARK'S MATE IS NOW AVAILABLE
AT SIREN BOOKSTRAND
Shanghai Shindu lives a carefree life in the tropics as a shape-shifting shark, hunting the land and the sea. He shows up with the rest of his pack of shape-shifting sharks at the wedding party for his brother. Shanghai never expects to meet his mate at a party full of werewolves and vampires, and is even more shocked to find he is human.
Cain Castle is working undercover as a handyman on the private island, but he is a psychic and a healer helping to keep an eye on the wedding guests. It’s a dangerous job, but there is also the crazy, overwhelming attraction to Shanghai, who doesn’t even acknowledge he exists until the day Shanghai stops a vampire from having him as lunch. Suddenly Cain is swept up in a world full of dark pleasures and sinful delights.
