Bittersweet Blog Tour and Giveaways!

Bittersweet Seraphim has been released from Hell.

Satan Jack invites you to come…and indulge yourself in his journey to save the angel he loves. After running Hell for over a thousand years one foul-mouthed Seraph has changed his end game.

Even if it means destroying the universe, Jack refuses to give up on Emma. He didn’t know what love was until Emma’s skin pressed against his, the addiction to any of his other vices paling in comparison. Jack has never been a fearful man, but he gets it now. Fear comes when you have something to lose. Or someone.

Suffering is worst when you’re doing it alone. But Emma’s taking Hell like an angel—even though her languishing began with having her seraph wings torn from her back. Now her worst enemy lords his body and his evil desires over her while she tries desperately to remember the words to her favorite prayer. 

As Devil, Jack used to have Hell and its women humming like well-oiled machines. Too bad he’s nowhere near the place now. Stuck on Earth as a human, he must work with a ragtag team of exiled minions and half-breeds to save the angel who’s become all that matters. 

Rescuing a seraph is the plan, but breaking into Hell means letting evil things out. Once they collide, minions and angels converge in the battle of the ages: good versus evil. But which side is which? Will Jack destroy the world as he fights to save Emma, his true and timeless love, from a damnation he designed?

An action-packed sequel to Crushed Seraphim, this tale reveals—time and again—what happens when the heart’s deepest desires break free. With a story both sizzling and sensual, emotional and enigmatic, Debra Anastasia invites readers to join a battle with nothing less than love on the line.

NaNoWriMo Flash Us Your Badge!

Thursday?? Really?? Already??

Time seems to be flying as we start into November! If you're like me you are looking around and wondering where the month has gone already. And you are probably already behind on your NaNoWriMo...I know that I am!

So Omnific wants to provide a little inspiration for you to get to it and get that story that has been playing in your head for the past several months out! As an incentive, Omnific is breaking the rules! What else would you expect from the publisher that is "Romance without Rules"?

Here's the deal...from December 1, 2012 through February 14, 2013 if you submit your NaNoWriMo badge that you earn for completing 50,000 words along with your full manuscript, you get to skip to the front of the line and bypass the traditional steps! That means, you submit a FULL MANUSCRIPT! Not a query. Not three chapters. Not a synopsis.

And that's not the only rule we are breaking when you flash us your badge!! Because of our rigorous editing process, Omnific normally asks for a minimum word count of 60,000 words. BUT with your NaNoWriMo badge, we are waiving that requirement and allowing 50,000 word submissions!

So get out there and get to writing! If you write it...we will read it!!

And now, we all know that it's BLOG BOUNCE time!

New Release - Once Upon a Second Chance

Yay! We have another new release to share with you. Marian Vere's debut novel, Once Upon a Second Chance will be available on Tuesday Nov. 6th and you won't want to miss this one!! So excited about it, and I know you all will love it!

Julia's life seemed to be falling perfectly into place. She had burgeoning job prospects in the finance industry, an exciting life in New York City, and a wonderful fiancé, Nick Kerkley, who she was totally in love with. Nick however, while being completely devoted to Julia, did not have the career potential or financial stability to be worthy of someone like her -- or at least that's what she came to convince herself. Hesitantly, Julia ended the relationship, forcing herself to believe it would all be for the best. Little did she know, that one decision would lead both their lives to spiral away from each other, only to converge again.

What happens to your fairytale when you let someone else wave the magic wand? Will your dreams of love and enchantment still come true, or will your 'happily ever after' pass by without you?

Once Upon a Second Chance is a contemporary retelling of Jane Austen's Persuasion.

As always...I begged and cajoled and talked Marian Vere into answering some of my questions.

Omnific: Once Upon a Second Chance is your debut novel, tell us about what inspired you to write and write this book in general.

Marian: My love for the novel Persuasion by Jane Austen. Sadly, Persuasion, (and any other novel by Jane Austen that isn’t Pride and Prejudice, for that matter) seems to take a backseat these days, and Persuasion is such a wonderful story—and in my opinion, far more romantic than Pride and Prejudice—and I wanted to try and put it in the limelight. I just know that if more people actually knew the story, that they would love it.

I also loved the idea of a story where the heroine isn’t the victim. In real life, people make mistakes and very often screw up their own lives, but that doesn’t mean that they aren’t still the hero of their own story and that they don’t deserve a chance at a happy ending.

Omnific: Can you share a little of your writing process with us? Are you a plotter or do you write as a scene hits?

Marian: Depends on the book. I always plot, but I don’t always know everything before I start writing. I’ll figure out the general plot and bigger events, but the rest usually fall into place while I’m writing.

Omnific: With the holidays approaching, what is on the top of your list for Santa to leave under the tree?

Marian: I don’t have anything specific, though the battery in my laptop is about to die, so I guess I could do with a replacement. Not very exciting, I know, but hey, it’s better than socks. J

Omnific: Since Omnific is all about the romance...what is your favorite romance scene in a book?

Marian: I’m gonna have to go old school with this one and say Jane Eyre. All the scenes are wonderful, but if I had to choose one I’d go with the water scene at the end. Maybe not what you were expecting, and no it isn’t at all ‘hot’, but I tend to find romantic scenes that don’t rely on the physical to be for more effective.

Omnific: Now, if they made that into a movie who would you want cast? (Or if they have already made a movie, would you recast it?)

Marian: Oh, they have made Jane Eyre movies galore, and while some are all right, I can’t really pick a favorite, nor would I try to do it better. Scenes from books are never as good on screen as they are in your head, and I’d rather not chance ruining a good image. If you asked me they should do less book to movie, and more movie to book. J

Omnific: And the dreaded question after months of editing…do you have anything that you are working on next?

Marian: Oh, sure. In addition to women’s fiction, I also write YA, and I have the first book in a YA series coming out in March, there will be three more books in that series that as of yet need to be written, I am currently finishing second, super-secret YA project, and have plans for another women’s fiction. So, no worries, I’m plenty busy.

Check out the trailer for Once Upon a Second Chance! It's amazing!
