Jackie U is talking about those first novels that Popped Our Paranormal Cherry over at Bitten by Books in the latest edition of Off the Fang.

I totally can’t believe I missed this. Anne Bishop has another Black Jewels novel coming out.  This time, Twilight’s Dawn, will feature four novellas featuring our favorite characters.  Twilight’s Dawn is set to be released March 2011.

Winsol Gifts
Daemon, the Black Jeweled Warlord Prince of Dhemlan, is settling into his first year of married life with his Witch Queen Jaenelle. But as the thirteen-day celebration of Winsol draws near, Daemon finds himself being pulled in too many directions as he plays host to his formidable family…

Shades of Honor
Still recovering from the ordeal that left her wounded and angry, Surreal returns to Ebon Rih on the orders of Prince Lucivar. And when her former lover Falonar ruthlessly challenges the rule of her family, Surreal may finally succumb to the darkness burning inside her…

Family
When someone lays a vicious trap for Queen Sylvia and her sons, the fallout completely disrupts the lives of the ruling family of Dhemlan. Now, they have to uncover the identity of the warlord known only as No Face, before he returns to finish what he started…

The High Lord’s Daughter
After losing the two most important people in his life, Daemon has assumed his father Saetan’s role as High Lord of Hell and built a wall around his heart. But when he inadvertently forges a new connection, will it be enough to break him free from his loveless life?

The latest short story being featured by Fifty-Two Stories is The Loveliest Children by Kathleen Foster.

I know I am not the only Outlander junkie out there, so check this out – it’s being turned into a musical!  Diana announced it awhile ago, but now there’s a website with cast and music info.

Jess Haines is looking for book bloggers to review the second Others novel, Taken by the Others, which is due out in January 2011.

Something I missed out on this time around is the fabulous tradition of quotes over at the Frost Forum.  If you’re not familiar with Jeaniene Frost’s forum, a few members always seems to get their hands on an ARC of the latest release and teaser snippets are always posted a month or so leading up to a release.  Jeaniene has a few favorites posted and now I want to read Eternal Kiss of Darkness even more.
