When I showed to our agent, she loved it, but she wasn’t quite sure what it was.  Then our editor at Ace, Anne Sowards, looked at it.  She called back next day saying that she wasn’t quite sure what it was, but she wanted to buy it.  The art department was excited about the idea (and made the fantastic cover, which I love to death and it’s my precious) but they also weren’t quite sure how to classify it.

A few days ago a prominent reviewer emailed me to say that she enjoyed the book a great deal but wasn’t sure how to classify it either.

:drumroll:

I now present the unclassifiable ON THE EDGE.  It’s like Twinkies.  Everybody likes it, nobody is 100% sure what it is.

So how is the Edge different from the violent world of Kate Daniels?  Well, it’s definitely more of a romance.  The book is just about split 50/50 between urban fantasy and paranormal romance, which makes it so hard to classify.

Then there is the heroine.  Kate Daniels is far from ordinary.  She’s been there, slain that, and she’s pretty hard to faze.  Rose hasn’t been anywhere.  She very much wanted to travel and do daring things, but her father had taken off after her mother’s death, leaving her responsible for her two much younger brothers.  Rose has a unique family and unlike Kate, who has no responsibilities, she has to take care of her relatives.

What about the hero?  Well, Curran and Declan have two things in common: they both happen to be blond and they’re both arrogant asses who think they know better.  The similarities end there.  Curran assumed a huge responsibility for the Pack when he was fifteen, while Declan did his best to escape all responsibilities for the better part of his adult life, to the point of hiding from them by serving in an elite unit of Adrianglian army.

Kate Daniels series is about extraordinary people.  The Edge is about ordinary people.  They’re not larger than life, but I hope you’ll enjoy them all the same.
