   10.10.09  -  Tomorrow I'll be attending the booksigning at Romanticon.   So this is
                        a great time to unveil my latest cover.  This one is for Phoenix Incantation,
                        which will be released from Ellora's Cave on October 20th!  You can
                        check out the coming soon page at EC for a blurb and excerpt to hold
                        you over for the next 10 days!

Phoenix Incantation by Jayne Rylon

   

        9
.3.09  -  I'm thrilled to share with you the cover for my November 24th Samhain
                        Publishing release, Night is Darkest!  

                        Night is Darkest by Jayne Rylon

                        The book is a m/m/f romantic suspense novel.  Here's the blurb:
                       
                        Lacey Daughtry’s perfect weekend is interrupted by tragic news of her
                        brother’s murder in the line of duty.  Plagued by a rash of mysterious
                        phone calls, she turns to her brother’s best friends and fellow officers for
                        protection… and comfort.

                        Spending time in close contact with Mason and Tyler, the two men she’s
                        dreamed of since her first girlhood crush, seems like the answer to a
                        prayer. Especially when they begin to explore the desire she’s harbored
                        for so long.

                        But the partners are holding out on Lacey. Determined to suppress the
                        most extreme facets of their lust, they agree to settle for sharing the
                        woman they crave while concealing their desire for each other. Until
                        Lacey cracks their resolve, unleashing a torrent of emotions that
                        threatens to distract them when they can least afford it.

                        Their blossoming relationship is complicated by secrets. And the only
                        way to evade the killer threatening their lives is to bare their souls in the
                        darkest hours of the night. Or everything will come crashing down, just
                        before the dawn.

   


    8.26.09  -  The good news has been POURING in, so... here's a handy recap!

   6.12.09  -    Great news!!! Samhain Publishing has contracted Night is Darkest for
                        release on November 24th, 2009.
               
                        Lacey Daughtry's perfect weekend is interrupted by the delivery of
                        tragic news.  Her brother has been murdered in the line of duty. Now
                        plagued by a rash of mysterious phone calls, she relies on her brother's
                        best friends, and fellow officers, for protection.

                        Spending time in close contact with Mason and Tyler, the two men she's
                        dreamed of for years, seems like the answer to a prayer--especially
                        when they begin to explore the latent desire they've repressed for so
                        long.  But when their friendship is riddled with secrets, will they make it
                        through the darkest hours of the night?

"Jayne Rylon has given us her very own work of art in Picture Perfect.
                        This is one amazing love story that will pull at your heartstrings and make                             your soul sing at the same time! This is one blazing hot book; you will need
                        to wear gloves while reading so you do not get your hands scorched! The
                        love scenes will leave you breathless and yearning for more.


                        Conn and Dana leap right off the pages of their sensational story and into                             your heart! This is one book that you will devour in one sitting and leave
                        you wanting a sequel to see what lies in store for Deirdre. She is one person                            who deserves her own story. Maybe
Mrs. Rylon will take us on Deirdre’s                                adventure next. Wherever Mrs. Rylon’s very creative imagination takes
                       us, I am sure we are in for a wild ride!"
