Darque Reviews + Naughty Editions Giveaway

Ms. Neill has created an urban fantasy world that's easily believed and a pleasure to visit.  Friday Night Bites is wonderfully entertaining, and impossible to set down.  There's plenty of supernatural action to entice fans of the paranormal, while the suspense and romance open this series up to fans in a variety of other genres.  I'd happily recommend the Chicagoland...

London Calling, Part II

Roo asked in a comment if I knew the publication dates for the Chicagoland Vampires books in the U.K. 
I don't have official info from Orion, but Amazon U.K. reports that SOME GIRLS BITE will be published on March 11, 2010.  The Orion version of FRIDAY NIGHT BITES will be published on April 8, 2010. 

Interview and Giveaway!

Alright, the first of the forthcoming interviews/guestblogs/giveaways for my FRIDAY NIGHT BITES promotional tour is at bat. Mandi over at Smexy Books has posted a review of SOME GIRLS BITE today, and tomorrow she'll post an interview and offer a giveaway...

London Calling

A fabulous announcement, with particular relevance to all you folks in the UK. UK publisher Gollancz has penned a deal to publish the first two books in the Chicagoland Vampires series

Special thanks to the folks at Gollancz for their faith in the books and to my fabulous agent Lucienne for all her hard work.

Now...does this mean Merit's sweaters will become jumpers? Thank goodness I already spelled "glamour" with a "u". :)

The Odd Shots

Are you a fan of Ilona Andrews, Nalini Singh, Patrice Michelle, Meljean Brook, and Jill Myles? They've started up a new joint blog called Odd Shots.  Check 'em out--they're currently giving away a copy of MUST LOVE HELLHOUNDS.
Good luck!

Penguin to release beautiful clothbound classics.

I've been hoping for this since their UK release was announced last year. Design*Sponge is reporting that Penguin will soon be releasing eight classic works of literature in their gorgeously-designed clothbound versions. Apparently, they'll be available at Anthropologie and Urban Outfitters. Read more here.

Keeping My Head Above Water

I haven't completely dropped off the face of the earth, although I'm immersed in trying to meet my deadline for TWICE BITTEN, which is quickly zooming up. However, now that we're nearly into September--and approaching the 30-day mark for the release of FRIDAY NIGHT BITES, there are lots of fun things planned...including interviews, booksignings and giveaways. Check back later tonight for an updated list of upcoming events on the FNB Blog Tour!

It's not the Oscars, but it's close...

Romantic Times Book Reviews has given Friday Night Bites a review of 4.5 stars.  The full review will be featured in the October 2009 issue of the magazine. You can also see the full PDF of the ratings for October here. 
Now to begin harassing my book stores until the October issues arrive...  :)
[Update - For some reason, the RT web site lists FNB as being reviewed in the October 2009 issue, but it's not listed in the PDF. Odd.:]
