Blood Kin out today!
Pop the champagne as Blood Kin is out today! Available at all the usual places. Another book out in the world. Go forth and read (if such a thing takes your fancy). I’ll be the nervous author in the corner : )
Blood Kin snippet # 5 – Our heroine
My heroine was a little harder to picture. Again, this particular actress is close but not exactly…for one thing, Holly is definitely curvier than this. But the attitude is right!

Blood Kin snippet # 4 – a soundtrack
I started with quite a long soundtrack but this turned into more a one song on repeat for various sections of the book type soundtrack. So here’s the 14 key songs from the Blood Kin soundtrack. 14 is better than 5. I have one book where the entire revision was to the same five Dixie Chick songs! Strange are the ways of writer brains.
1. Cuz I Can, Pink
2. Holy Grail, Hunters and Collectors
3. Shout, Tears for Fears
4. The Head of Gabriel, Attrition
5. I Want To Break Free, Queen
6. Hallelujah, Bon Jovi
7. Resistance, Muse
8. Comfortably Numb, Scissor Sisters
9. Mama Do, Pixie Lott
10. Run, Leona Lewis
11. Glitter In The Air, Pink
12. If I Were An Angel, Matraca Berg
13. Somebody Told Me, The Killers
14. So Cruel, U2

Blood Kin snippet # 3 And a song for Holly
The heroine, at a certain point in the story…you’ll have to read it to find out when : )
Blood Kin snippet # 2 – Guy’s song
I’ll put up the full soundtrack in another post but today’s snippet is a key Guy song. An oldie but a goodie.

Blood Kin – snippet # 1 – meet our hero
Ever since Shadow Kin, I had a fairly strong mental image of what Guy looked like. And there was only one actor in mind for my stand in for my collage in terms of general looks and attitude.
So here’s my mental image (or as close as you’re going to get in the real world) of Guy DuCaine.
It’s a tough life living with this guy in my head!

Pic of the week
This week’s photo is not exactly brilliant photography but more a reminder that life is random.
Because it’s not every day you see two life size plastic/fibreglass rhinoceroses travelling down the road. (And my brain has been trying to come up with an explanation for where these two are going given they were travelling in the opposite direction of Melbourne’s zoos and museums and also drove straight past the only nearby circus…intriguing!)
In other news, in celebration of hitting the ten day countdown to release day, I’ve just added the last Blood Kin excerpt to my site. And don’t forget I’m giving away a copy of Blood Kin this weekend…details here. Keep checking back over the next ten days as there will be more giveaways and various bits of book info as I count down.

Yay!
Got home today to find these waiting on my doorstep (and thankfully the delivery dude had tucked them away out of the torrential downpour we’re having)!
Guess I really do have a book out soon : )
Some of these need a home…so how about a giveaway?
Tell me your favourite surprise lately and I’ll draw a winner on Monday.
