Today I'm over at fellow Eternal Press author Colin Galbraith's blog, Freedom from the Mundane. Come join the party (Colin's away all weekend! Sounds like party time to me. Don't worry, Colin, I'll clean up any mess!). Leave a comment and you might win a copy of One Soul for Sale!

Here's what You Gotta Read Reviews said about One Soul for Sale: "The writing style made me feel as though I were a part of the story instead of someone on the outside looking in. I was pulled into the story and couldn't stop until I hit the last page. The ending by the way ..... OUTSTANDING! I loved it! One Soul for Sale was filled with action scenes which made it a riveting story."

For you more traditional readers, One Soul for Sale's also available in print from Amazon.

New urban fantasy to be released July 7

by Cate Masters

Freya's Bower will release The Lure of the Vine on July 7!

While I researched Greek mythology for The Duende and the Muse, I came across some interesting info about Dionysus, God of the Vine - and his followers, the Maenads. Dionysus was madly in love with his mortal wife, Ariadne. One of the few gods to remain faithful to any woman, he mourned her for eternity.
In ancient times, Dionysus became a master marketer to push his product: wine. He enticed people to drink by any means, and could be either friend or foe to humans. Sometimes both.
The Maenads worshipped Dionysus, but also lived in complete freedom. They slept beneath the stars, sang and danced in the forests. And, oh yeah, ripped to shreds animals or humans they happened upon, and feasted on their flesh.
As an immortal, Dionysus would, theoretically, still be in existence today. Still promoting his product. And still yearning for Ariadne. Or someone very like her...

Tomorrow’s Release Day for The Duende and the Muse!

By Cate Masters
Hello, I’m Cate Masters. I write women’s fiction, urban fantasy, romance, historical and speculative, in every length from flash to novels. Tomorrow, I’m celebrating the release of my short Faery (fantasy) story from The Wild Rose Press. I’ll be giving away a PDF copy to a random commenter on my blog. Just share something about your muse – or duende, as the case may be. Does inspiration light upon you like a butterfly? Or strike like a bolt of lightning, sizzling along your nerve endings, burning your fingertips until they’re forced to pound it out on paper or a keyboard? Sometimes the best stories come out like that, jumping from our head to the page almost fully formed. The Duende and The Muse was a little of both. It started as a lightning strike, and I tweaked it a bit later, after it had cooled off a bit.
The Duende and the Muse is my second release with The Wild Rose Press. I’m one of the authors participating in their Sony eReader contest, so if you buy either The Duende and the Muse or Seventh Heaven, my Vintage (Sixties-era) story, you can enter The Wild Rose Press’ contest to win a Sony eReader. Details are here.

Here’s the trailer for The Duende and The Muse:


Soon I'll have more releases with Wild Child Publishing, Eternal Press and Shadowfire Press - stay tuned!
