Faubourgs and the Historical Undead: Annotated Royal Street

So, you might ask, where's my new story? Where's that thing about teenage Alex and Jake and secrets and such? Sigh. Best-laid plans and all that. It will be coming soon but circumstances outside my control prevent it from posting today. So stay tuned.

Instead, I'll do another set of annotations and Easter Eggs from Royal Street today! This is a spoiler-free feature, so if you haven't read the book and think you might one of these days, nothing here will reveal too much.

RIVER ROAD ARC, New Release July 8-15 & Reader's Choice C*ntest

Things have calmed down a bit after two crazy release weeks. Still good stuff this week, though, so you might be able to find something you want to read. I’m strangely drawn to Year Zero, because it sounds so wackalicious. Wait…is wackalicious a word? It is now.

First, a commercial interruption. I’m being interviewed over at the great Dark Faerie Tales blog today, where they're reading Royal Street as part of their July Reading Challenge, and I'm giving away a big Sentinels of New Orleans pri...

Scene Snippet Sunday (& Did You Win a Book This Week?)

I've begun a new feature on both my websites called "Scene Snippet Sunday."

Over at the Suzanne Johnson website, I'm sharing a piece of a scene from River Road, book two in the Sentinels of New Orleans series, in which the undead pirate Jean Lafitte learns to drive. (Talk about an uh-oh moment!)

At the Susannah Sandlin website is a snippet from Absolution, book two in the Penton Legacy series, wherein vampire lieutenants Will and Randa are sharing a not-so-bonding moment.

Check them out! And com...

Vampires in Alabama (& Last Chance for Weekly C*ntests)

Before the links, a plug: my alter-ego Susannah Sandlin is at Stella-ExLibris'  blog today, talking about how vampires got in Alabama. If you've been following the blog tour, I apologize for the repeat--the blog organizer submitted the wrong blog post to Stella, thus the repeat from Thursday.

BUT you can enter there for another shot at the $50 Amazon gift card or an author...
