By the way, I’m in the US bucket!

Still salivating over those excerpts…

Maybe it’s the movie references in the Razor Girl excerpt, but now I’m thinking of “Shaun of the Dead” and “Torchwood” after reading these two. It’s rather fitting, cause I could see these scenes on the screen (big or small).

(Toss my entry in the international bucket, please.)

Wow, what great excerpts. I am intrigued to see what happens next in both books.

Hi, this is Petra from Germany.

I just found read about you guys yesterday in my new issue of Romantic Times Reviews so I googled you. I didn’t even know about SHOMI. Marvelous find!

Razor Girl: Zombie movies are among my favorite horror films, like Dawn of the Dead or 28 Days Later, but I have never read a zombie novel. The action in the excerpt is really vivid and gross, just the way it should be. I love the writing style. This is a sure buy for me!

Irreversible: I’m not so certain what is going on here, but you had me at “wingtip”. Sounds very interesting and I would like to read more. Time travel seems to be a part of this and I love that.

Fortunately you both already published books, so now I am off to buy those and I am looking forward to the release of these two. Good luck!

Hey, guys, I read the excerpts and loved both of them–very different from each other, and different from anything else out there at the moment.

The idea of time alteration is fascinating (Cryptonomicon!), and I loved Wired, so I am excited about reading Irreversible.

Marianne, your excerpt is heart-racingly thrilling, and I love that you used zombies, and some sort of apocalyptic occurrence in a totally fresh way. I am looking forward to reading it all.

Wow! That was really creepy! Both of them. I wasn’t expecting that at all. Excellent!!! I’m really looking forward to reading Razor Girl. I love Marianne’s writing style. Fast paced and very fun to read. And how often does a romance author tackle zombies? Quite a refreshing change from all the vampire stories that are out there. Really, really awesome! And Liz’s story seems very intriguing. Mysterious. Definitely something I would like to read more of. Great job, to both of you!

Oh, my god, that was the best excerpt I’ve ever read in my entire life. You are brilliant. I feel as though my life is now complete. Just kidding..but I did love the suggested comment ; ) Both of these books sound excellent! I was just reading an excerpt of Acheron today while browsing around online, and it sounds just a little addicting. Great blogs!!!

Hi Liz and Marianne!

The Razor Girl freaking rocks, believe me, anything with zombies is high on my Cool list. I like this quote: “I’m all slimy,” he said. “Zombie gook. You know. I’m going to go find a fountain or something to wash off.” Heh heh heh

Irreversible – also, very awesome excerpt! I love the writing, it makes it easy to image how that situation would go. Apart from a few “huh?” moments, I liked it a lot. I’d had to read more to understand it, hint hint, LOL.

Guys, I love both excerpts and can’t wait to read Razor Girl and Irreversible!
