Welcome to the Official Ruby Duvall Site
April 23rd, 2008:
It's official! Blues is now available for purchase and download at Ellora's Cave. Please head over and read the blurb and excerpt if you're in the mood for an adventurous jaunt through the packed clubs and dizzying skyscrapers of futuristic Tokyo!
April 21st, 2008:
I'm back from the Romantic Times 2008 Convention, and boy was that fun! I met a lot of fellow authors, readers, publishers, editors, agents, and everything else in between. It was a whirlwind of events packed into four days and now I'm ready to get back to what I love most--writing. Speaking of which, my third book Blues is set to hit the EC main page this Wednesday! Check it out and read all about Hannah and Ryo, two strangers that see sparks when they meet!
March 7th, 2008:
Where does the time go? Next month, I'll be attending the Romantic Times Convention in Pittsburgh, so if you are attending, please stop by to see me! The big news of the day, though, is that Caught in the Devil's Hand is now available in print! If you have been hoping for a physical copy of this book, I encourage you to pick it up today!
February 8th, 2008:
Wow, it's already February! I've added a couple small things to the site today. First, you can see the cover for Blues in my blog, along with a short commentary (the first in a short series) that I wrote about "character voice". Also, I submitted my CitDH book trailer for consideration in the February batch of book trailers to be considered for a New Covey Trailer Award, so I encourage you to visit the site to vote on the month's best entries! Also, the first review for Oblivion was a mind-blowing Gold Star Award from JERR in their 117th issue.
January 4th, 2008:
Happy New Year to all my readers! You can expect at least two releases from me in 2008: this weekend, re-visit the world from Caught in the Devil's Hand by reading Oblivion, released today by Ellora's Cave. It is the sequel to CitDH, so if you have been waiting for an ending to the story, your wait is over! Then in April, you can read an entirely different genre of erotica from me by taking a look at Blues, a suspense story set in the near future. 2008 will be a very exciting year!
December 20th, 2007:
Oblivion's release is just around the corner! Please see "the books" for a blurb and an excerpt of this sequel to Caught in the Devil's Hand. I also got word on the release date for Blues: April 23rd, 2008, only a few days after the Romantic Times Convention in Pittsburgh. I'll be attending RT 2008, so if you're going as well, please stop by and see me! Happy Holidays!
December 2nd, 2007:
I hope your holiday season is going well. I personally can't wait to visit the States and catch up with my family. I updated a couple small things on the site today. The JERR review for CitDH is now viewable online, and a tentative blurb is up for Blues, my third novel. A release date for this one is still TBA. Check out both links through "the books". There's also a short interview from October of this year and another review of CitDH that you can reach through "miscellaneous".
October 31st, 2007:
Happy Halloween! I'm happy to announce that Oblivion will be released through Ellora's Cave on January 4th, 2008. You can read an excerpt now. If you haven't read Caught in the Devil's Hand yet, or if it's been a while, please be sure to read it over the winter holiday!
October 2nd, 2007:
Oblivion now has a cover! You can click on "the books" to see it, but a larger size is available on my blog. I'm hoping to receive news of a release date next.
September 29th, 2007:
The excerpts for CitDH and Oblivion are now available through my blog. The cover for Oblivion is also coming very soon! My next novel, Blues, has been accepted for publication at Ellora's Cave. A release date for Blues and Oblivion are still TBA.
September 13th, 2007:
A blurb for Oblivion can now be read under "the books" (scroll down a little). You can also visit my blog to watch a book trailer for Caught in the Devil's Hand.
September 3rd, 2007:
Another review has come in for Caught in the Devil's Hand, five angels from Fallen Angel Reviews. Also, I've decided to title the third book Blues, set in a near-future Tokyo and based on the greed of companies. More details to come as edits are completed. A fourth book is now in its early stages.
July 14th, 2007:
Oblivion has been approved for publication at Ellora's Cave. I won't try to guess when the release date might be, but I'm very excited about this sequel. I've started a third book, but the details and a title remain TBA.
June 28th, 2007:
Two pieces of news. One, I finally finished the rough draft of Oblivion, the sequel to CitDH. To celebrate this (though there are many edits to go through in the meantime), I redecorated the site. I hope you like it! Two, though this won't affect that many people (I think), I have moved my blog one last time. It even matches the site scheme! :-P
June 6th, 2007:
A couple of reviews have come in for CitDH, both of them very good. Whew! Maybe I should pull a Sally Field right now. Anyway, please see "The Books" for links to these reviews.
May 26th, 2007:
I've created a LiveJournal account that you can put in your favorites list or your watch/friend list if you're on LJ. It's a pseudo-replacement for the forum I lost during the move to my new webhost. Check it out in "Miscellaneous."
March 21st, 2007:
The site was down for about a week because I'm cursed. I've had several incarnations of websites over the years and every time, my host somehow bites the dust, whether it's to join the army or go bankrupt or just plain drop the ball. I've re-upped myself at a new host and can only hope for the best. For now, there's no forum, but I'll work on getting that back up as soon as possible. Not that anyone really visited the forum, though...
February 21st, 2007:
Caught in the Devil's Hand has finally been released over at Ellora's Cave. Please download and read it today!
January 27th, 2007:
As of a few days ago, CitDH is finally on Ellora Cave's "Coming Soon" page. So now that it's official, I'm going to post the cover under "The Books." I'm in the middle of changing residences now, though, so I've been pretty busy and stressed lately. Just a few more weeks until CitDH is released!
January 4th, 2007:
Huh...I think I'll just stop attempting to guesstimate any dates for when things'll be ready for the site. I don't have control over some things and therefore can't really promise them, can I? Anyway, work on Oblivion is going well and it's only another month and a half or so until CitDH is released. Happy New Year!
November 25th, 2006:
As you can obviously see, I have totally re-vamped the website. The old one was very bleah, so I whipped up a pretty image in Photoshop, spent way too many hours on coding rather than writing, and voila! Version 2.0. "About the Author" has *gasp* two pictures of me! The cover art for CitDH is not quite ready, but I expect to have its final version on the site within a week.
November 12th, 2006:
I received the cover for CitDH today, but I'm hoping to have a few changes made to it before I show it off. Also, I've used my terrible Photoshop skills to create a "world map" for Caught in the Devil's Hand and its sequel, Oblivion. If you believe it's as terrible as I do and believe you can do better, by all means... Anyway, please look for the link to this map under "The Books."
October 25th, 2006:
Sike! Turns out that the book will be released one week later than I was told: February 21st, 2007. I'm still awaiting the cover art, but as soon as I get some sort of final proof, I'll post it under "The Books." Also waiting to finish up the final, final edits on CitDH. Hopefully, that'll happen in the next month or so?
September 17th, 2006:
Just a bit of news. I learned yesterday that Caught in the Devil's Hand will be released on February 14th, 2007...Valentine's Day. O_O Wow, now there's cliche for you. Yet, it's kind of cool.
September 12th, 2006:
I added the blurb for CitDH since it seems to be nearly official, and I'll take any excuse to update the site.
September 2nd, 2006:
There is now a forum you can visit. I doubt that anyone will visit or actively participate in it for a while, but it's there. I made sure there were a few theme choices in case you don't like the default one. Enjoy!
August 10th, 2006:
I'm very excited to have this site up and running. It's always fun to create a new site (this style is based on an old website I used to have [site is now version 3.0]), and I'm looking forward to receiving visitors...well, the two of them that I estimate will actually visit. Please use this site to check for updates on any stories I may be working on. I hope to add a couple more features to this site in the near future, including a mailing list. Thanks for visiting!
