Make sure you head over to Vampire Wire. Marta has a really awesome contest going…she’s giving away a copy of the audiobook of Jim Butcher’s Storm Front. All you have to do is…

…leave a comment saying what actor or actress you think would be a good vampire, shapeshifter, or other paranormal creature. Like, “I’d like to see Jack Black as a werewolf.” The contest closes on Friday night and a winner will be chosen at random and announced on Monday.

There is one beautiful perk to this audio book too. The voice actor reading the novel is none other than James Marsters. If you’re not familiar with him (why not?), he’s the incorrigible Spike from the cult television series Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Angel.

In other news, the new releases, serials, and author website pages should be working again. If anyone is still having problems, let me know, but everything should be working from this point on.
