Liz Maverick

Liz Maverick is a Christine Feehan heroine!

I just returned from Christine Feehan's "Game" shoot. (I played her twin heroines, Briony and Mari, in the book trailers for Conspiracy Game and Deadly Game.) Fantastic experience.

Liz Rocks World Media

Check me out on Fox News' "Geraldo at Large" in a segment about the popularity of erotic romance. The clip is in the show's online video archive. (Go to Feb 23 and click on "Steamy Novels." Heh.) Then head over and find me in a brand spankin' new piece featured in The New York Daily News! And add an interview with the Boston's NBC affiliate to the list!

"They like me! They really like me!"

The Shadow Runners finaled in the 2005 PRISM Awards in the futuristic category. The PRISMs are awards given for the year's best fantasy, futuristic and paranormal romance novels. Also, What a Girl Wants finaled in the 2005 National Reader's Choice award.

Liz signed for keynote speech

I've been asked to present the keynote speech for the 2006 Silicon Valley RWA writer's conference. The focus of the conference will be on the profession of writing as opposed to the craft of writing. Should be a great conference, and I've updated my Events page accordingly.

The great reviews keep on coming...

Reviews on Crimson City are filtering in: "CRIMSON CITY is the exhilarating opening paranormal romantic suspense thriller that will have the audience on the edge of their seat wondering if the star-crossed heroes can avert a cross-species war. The story line is action-packed, but the key to the tale is Liz Maverick’s ability to insure her prime players seem genuine in a realistic setting."

The Shadow Runners finals again

The Shadow Runners finaled in the RWA Mystery & Suspense Chapter's Kiss of Death Contest, paranormal category, of course. That means I get to go to the infamous Chocolate Party where they'll announce the winners. Who cares about winning?! We're talking about an All-You-Can-Eat chocolate buffet!

Sprechen Sie Antarctica? Liz sells (more!) German translation rights.

Liz gets a dose of Chicago Sun-shine.

There's a smidge of Liz Maverick name-dropping in the November 30, 2004Chicago Sun-Times.

Liz gets USA Today nod...only a few pages away from the bestseller list!

The October 26, 2004 edition of **USA TODAY** spotlights The Shadow Runners in an action romance article (Page 4D. Heh.) and also mentions my 2005 series, Crimson City. Nice! Get thee to a newsstand for the print article (which shows the book cover) or read it online.

Liz gets Candanian ink all over her

Great news! I just found out I'm not cynical. Who knew? Heh. No, but seriously, check out this rather interesting article from the October 21, 2004 Toronto Star about Modern Cynicism. What a Girl Wants and I are both mentioned.

Liz's Amish and Antarctic exploits featured in RT Magazine

Also, check out the October 2004 RT Bookclub Magazine for an article about moi, Antarctica, and the Amish. (Yes, the Amish.) Complete with goofball photo of me. 'Course, you can see plenty of Antarctic goofball photos in the photo gallery.

More funny coming right up!

Liz agrees to a new 3-book deal with NAL for more sassy comedy! Looks like What a Girl Wants and Adventures of an Ice Princess will have some shelf company.

Sprechen Sie Cocktail? Liz sells German translation rights.

Get your Deutsch on, because What a Girl Wants is going international. The prospective title? "Die Martini Therapy." (Apparently, that's what a girl a wants in Germany...not that there's anything wrong with that!) They promise that while they will change all drink mentions to martinis, the characters will not become more tipsy than already written.

Liz inks new kick-butt 2-book deal.

Liz signs a deal to book-end "Crimson City," a paranormal/futuristic/action romance series she created as a multi-book, multi-author project for summer '05. It's [(Underworld + Soldier) * Dungeons & Dragons] if you can wrap your brain around that hybrid!

Liz gets hometown props from SF mag.

In San Francisco Magazine's 2004 "Lit Explosion" round-up, Liz Maverick is touted as up-and-coming talent.
