Bad Time to Lose the Interwebs

So, my interwebs are currently down, thus the lack of pre-release posting. Thanks to all of you who've been carrying on bravely during the TWICE BITTEN BLOG TOUR. I promise I'll get links to your various posts up very soon!
And keep a look out for more fun interviews, guest blogs and contests in the week to come!
TWO DAYS UNTIL RELEASE!!!

Blog Tour!!

Thanks to today's sponsors of the TWICE BITTEN blog tour - Wicked Lil Pixie, where I'm chatting about the editing process, and I Read to Relax, where Jessica and I had a little sit-down chat.

All THREE blog tour stops will provide a chance to win your very o...

"Prairie Avenue's Unlikely Survivor"

Chicago Magazine has a great video and feature on the Wood-Maxy-Boyd house, a gorgeous Queen-Anne style mansion on Prairie Avenue (not far from Kimball House, the model for Cadogan House).


The house is currently for sale, but is in need of significant repair. Watch the video and check out the gallery. It's so very Cadogan. Can't you just imagine Ethan on these stairs??


If you weren't convinced, check out a haunting Flickr photo. Ethan in a window, paparazzi at a corner, and Merit's orange...

Today's Blog Tour Stops

Hello, everyone! Hope your June is going swimmingly. A big shout out to folks in the Big O' and Rosenblatt Stadium, which is hosting its final College World Series beginning this week.



Today, we have three stops on the TWICE BITTEN Blog Tour to chat about. First, I'm over at Darkly Reading to chat about the Chicagoland Vampires series and whether any House secrets are revealed in Twice Bitten.

Tomorrow, I'll drop by My Five Monkeys to chat with the lovely Julie about all sorts of random goodnes...

Your final TWICE BITTEN Teaser

Before you read further, let me prepare you: This is perhaps the teasiest of the teasers I've given you in my relatively short literary career. I can only direct you to the folks who've read the ARCs thus far and have deemed them worthy of your time and attention. (Folks--feel free to confirm in the comments.) :)
Okay. As many of you know, Jeaniene Frost is somewhat famous for "Chapter 32" of her Night Huntress (Bones & Cat) novels.
That said, I'll direct you, on or about July 6, to Chapter 8...
