New Releases June 3-9 & Reader's Choice C*ntest

Holy listmania, Batman!  I’ve been promising a humongous release week was coming, and—guest what—it’s here. I don’t know how many new releases are coming out this week because I’m too lazy to count them, but sheesh. Do you have your work cut out for you, deciding what among this list you most want to read!
As always, leave a comment telling me the book here you’d most like to win, and maybe random.org will make your wishes come true. International, as always.
Also, the contest for the Kind...

Did You W*n a Book This Week?

First, remember to go to my sister site HERE and leave a comment as part of the "12 Vampires of Not-Christmas" to win a copy of Redemption, first in a new paranormal romance series by Susannah Sandlin, and also to log another entry for the Kindle that will be given away on June 12.

Now, a shameless self-promotion request. I recently learned that that little "Like" button at the top of the Amazon book page is used by Amazon to help determine which books get promoted in some of their emails. If...

Q&A with #UF author Mike Shevdon - W*n a Signed ARC

I’m thrilled to welcome British urban fantasy author Mike Shevdon to the blog today. By way of a mutual friend (waves at Lauri), I “met” Mike in a virtual sense two or three years ago when I had just sold Royal Street and he was getting ready to launch Sixty-One Nails, the first in his Courts of the Feyre series. So it’s great to have him here today just after the launch of book three in the series, Strangeness and Charm.
I love this series because I find the fey so fascinating. Like elves (ex...

Royal Street Annotated--New Chapters are Up!

First, I'm pleased to say that Royal Street will be published in print in the UK in September by Headline Publishing Group. River Road, book two in the series, will release about the same time as it does in the U.S., in November. There will be new covers for the UK print editions, so I'll show those to you as soon as they're ready!

On Wednesdays, I'm doing annotations for Royal Street by chapter (for past chapters, click on the Easter Eggs tab). Now that we're out of the first five setup chapt...

Sci-Fi Tuesday: W*n a Summer Sampler

There must be something in the air, because there are new anthologies popping up everywhere these days! Last week, I had the Nebula Awards Showcase 2012 up for grabs. Today, I have another brand new anthology to give away--the Year's Best SF 17, edited by David G. Hartwell and Kathryn Cramer. This is a great way to try out some new-to-you authors. And, just because I have it available, I'll throw in an ARC of the Nebula Awards book as well. A double-dose of Sci-Fi goodness!

Here's what's in th...

New Releases May 26-June 2 & Reader's Choice C*ontest

Hm. Do these books look familiar? Last week's Reader's Choice jumped the gun on the week's releases and I posted them a week too early. So...here they are again, with a few new ones added in for June 1. As always, this is an international contest. What do you want to read? Just leave a comment and you could win your choice!


When Passion Lies (Shadow Keepers, Book 4) , by J.K. Beck (May 29, Bantam)FBI agent Alexis Martin knows that vampires exist—because one of them killed her sis...

Did You W*n a Book This Week?

It's Sunday, and that means it's time to wrap up all the weekly giveaways!

I have some fun stuff coming up this week...you'll get to meet a couple of my favorite authors and a chance to win their books, there's a new big Reader's Choice contest coming up tomorrow, I'll have some new Royal Street Easter Eggs, and...other stuff.

But, for the real reason we're here today, look no further. If you see your name here, please contact me HERE with your mailing info. All these giveaways are for print bo...

Talking about Sookie (& Toppling TBR G*veaway)

I'm going a little off-course today. I'd originally planned another "Toppling the TBR Giveaway," but I read this interesting interview on the SF Signal site with author Charlaine Harris and thought I'd talk about Sookie Stackhouse instead.

Well, heck, why can't I do both? Comment at the end, and you can win a Five-Book Paranormal Romance/Urban Fantasy Mystery Box. How about that!?!

So, back to "Soo-kay." I have Deadlocked, book twelve in the series, sitting atop my TBR pile and h...
