    JAYNE SEES ELVIS



    DARK LIGHT, The next book in my Jayne Castle Ghost Hunters series won't be out until August 26 but Cissy Hartley (my web mistress) and Paula Graves (who, in addition to writing great romantic suspense is also a graphic artist) have just completed the video. I thought you all might enjoy it.



    By the way, in the video, the role of Elvis the Dust-Bunny is played by Donovan, a champion angora rabbit owned by Betty Chu. (Yes, the bunny is real! Check out Betty's website: http://home.pacbell.net/bettychu/) Those of you who saw last year's video for SILVER MASTER (still available at my website) may recall that we used another one of Betty's gorgeous rabbits for that production. I want to take this opportunity to thank Betty and the rabbits for giving us the perfect dust-bunnies!

    What a great video, Jayne! I laughed out loud. Elvis has left the bulding: classic!

    Also, can't wait to read the next book in your Ghost Hunters series. The perfect book to relax with at the end of a very stressful and busy summer, AND just in time for my birthday.

    btw, did I mention I can't wait to read DARK LIGHT? lolololol

    Already ordered two copies. Love the video--can't decide if it's better than the SILVER MASTER one or not.

    When are they going to discover moles on Harmony?

    I've asked my Hubs to give me this for my Birthday next month too! (Aug.31) *G* The bunny is soooooo cute!

    Out of curiousity (you don't have to answer) but you've mentioned several times (in Hunter books) that there ARE female Ghost Hunters, just that they are rare. Will you ever write a novel featuring one?

    Can't wait!

    Moles, Tal? I don't think so...
    But who knows?

    Brandy: Well, if you will recall, the wife of the head of the Cadence Guild is a Hunter and if Mercer Wyatt has his way, she'll take over the Guild.

    Still, we're talking about a testosterone related talent and that sort of points toward the male of the species. There are always exceptions, of course.

    We shall see. The thing is, psychic talents are sprouting up fast all over Harmony so who knows what is coming?

    Best,
    Jayne

    Okay, Jayne, I confess. I already saw the video. LOVED IT. I can't wait to read Dark Light, because I am such a fan of the Harmony series. In fact, I have enjoyed all of your offworld books. I don't think I've missed a one. The humor, the romance, the strong women vs alpha males, the fantasy, the "world construction", and the dust bunnies. What a combination! Thank you and all the other Quills for the many hours of entertainment you provide all us readers.

    Lynne: Trust me, readers like you make the writing a joy!

    Stella: Thanks! I thought Cissy and Paula did a terrific job. And, of course, there's that brilliant bunny actor, Donovan. He made the perfect Elvis.

    Deb: Thanks and hope you enjoy the book.

    Lori: Glad you enjoyed it. People never seem to realize that the bunnies are real...

    Lynn: Well, shoot, couldn't have an Elvis without the sunglasses, now, could we?

    Adorable video. The sunglassess were good, but the silvery cape- that was the BEST! I hope your new book is a best seller. Personally, I plan to do my part. ;-) KathyK

    Loved it!! Great music, too. (you know me--I'm a music girl) And it's EG's birthday?? I need to look at my calendar more often. (And I will when this book is in)
    Happy Birthday, EG!

    Susan, it's not my birthday yet!
    :-) DARK LIGHT hits stores August 26 and my birthday is August 29, so one of the gifts I'm giving myself is a copy of Jayne's new GHOST HUNTERS book and the leisure time to read it!
    ~EG

    P.S. I also have a book to turn in before my B-Day.

    It is an honor for my two bunnies to be chosen to play Araminta and Elvis. Jayne and Cissy, thanks for chosing Melania (Araminta) and Donovan (Elvis) for the jobs of these adorable dust bunnies.

    Hi, Betty! Thanks for dropping in here at RWQ. As you can see, everyone is enjoying the new video. There are nearly 4,000 hits on it at YouTube. Melania and Donovan have really made the dust bunnies come alive for readers.

    I love this series and just pre-ordered Dark Light last night. Thanks for sharing your dust bunnies with us.

    Jayne: Surely there are burrowing mammals of some sort in those newly discovered underground jungles!

    Betty: Who played Max in the last video?

    Blogger Ranurgis said...

    Yeah, Elvis is a cutie!

    Can't wait until I read more about him and his human and her writing subject. Love the excerpt too.

    Hope these 36 days pass fast. Since I'll probably be moving that week, I might not get to a bookstore until the week after. (pout)

    I'm glad I have my dust bunnies protecting me. They really are so useful, aren't they? And so multi-talented!

    If they did moles on 'harmony' it would probably have been lanced as moles are dangerous you know :)

    What a treat, thanks!

    The video really brings a smile to one's face, Jayne!
    Like everyone else, I am eagerly looking forward to the book.

    I love this series and can't wait for the new one! What a perfect dust bunny. Absolutely matches the visual I had from the stories--I love it!

    I fell in love with your Harmony series when I read Ghost Hunter. I then went back and read the previous books in the series and now, I'm not patiently waiting for Dark Light to come out. I can't wait! The dust bunnies in this series are absolutely adorable.
