Get a little magic
Hi all! I'm still buried in my Deadline Cave but I have a couple quick announcements. First, if you are attending the Authors After Dark convention next week, I hope to see some of you there! Full details on my schedule will be up later this week. If you're not attending AAD but you're in the New Orleans area, the book signing with all of the AAD authors is on Saturday, August 11th from 2pm - 4pm and it is open to the public.
Second, I am frequently asked about books and authors I recommend. The full list is on my Links page but I wanted to give a special shout out to Ilona Andrews for Gunmetal Magic, which releases today. From the back of the book:
Some people have everything figured out—Andrea Nash is not one of those people.
After being kicked out of the Order of the Knights of Merciful Aid, Andrea’s whole existence is in shambles. All she can do is to try to put herself back together, something made easier by working for Cutting Edge, a small investigative firm owned by her best friend Kate Daniels.
When several shapeshifters working for Raphael Medrano—the male alpha of the Clan Bouda and Andrea’s former lover—die unexpectedly at a dig site, Andrea is assigned to investigate…and must work with Raphael. As Andrea’s search for the killer leads her into the secret underbelly of supernatural Atlanta, she knows that dealing with her feelings for Raphael might have to take a back seat to saving the world…

If you're new to Ilona's books, good news. Although Gunmetal Magic is set in the same world as Ilona's bestselling Kate Daniels series, it features side characters as the main characters so you don't need to be caught up on previous books (much like my readers didn't need to be caught up on Cat and Bones to read Vlad's book). Also, Gunmetal Magic is a stand-alone novel, so if you're already keeping track of umpteen series and don't want to add another one, it's one-and-done story. Of course I think once you try Ilona's books you'll want to read more of them, but as a stand-alone, Gunmetal Magic does not mean a new series commitment if you're looking to limit those. And while the back cover description highlights the excellent urban fantasy aspect of the story, what it doesn't go into is the chemistry between Raphael and Andrea, or how hot Raphael is. Seriously. Call me shallow, but that man makes me want to reach through the pages and pet him.
Ahem, where was I? Anyway, as many of you know, Ilona is my very good friend so some might say my opinion is biased. That's fair. But to see what people who are NOT Ilona's BFF have to say about Gunmetal Magic, click here to be taken to its Goodreads and the slew of glowing reviews there.
Interested? You can order Gunmetal Magic from these retailers or your favorite local book store: Amazon| Barnes & Noble | iTunes | Books-A-Million | Powell’s Books
And now that I've given you some new reading material, back to writing Twice Tempted! :)

I haven't had a chance to dive into the Kate Daniels books (like you said series series series) so this is perfect for my Aug. reading list! :)I want to pet Vlad tell him to hurry up ... I know you cannot rush perfection *siiiiiiiiigh* I am missing him and Cat & Bones too <3
Thanks Jeaniene!!
I completely devoured the book! It was fantastic as usual! :)
Just got mine today and I can't wait to start!!!!
Bought it - read it - finished it on release day, as expected it was wonderful ;) The only problem is how long we now have to wait for the next one!
I adore u Ms. Frost. U put do many smiles on my face with ur Night Hunters series .I was so completely immersed listening to Tavia Gilbert's amazing narratives of your novels. They kept me fm.dwelling on all the stress my family is going through ,since dad has terminal cancer and.I recently lost my brother. Thank for.your.talent.and how generous you are. I am home most of time because of a chronic illness. Your books saved me from utter boredom. I'd rather read or listen to my audio books than watch tv. I aspire to be a writer and have just started my own novel. Any tips?
