Carpe Diem

Check out the cover for the new Morganville Vampires, Carpe Corpus, by Rachel Caine. I like this cover. After seeing this cover, I think I need to catch up. I’ve only read the first two novels in this series, so I better get my hands on the third novel, Midnight Alley.

LA Banks is guest blogging over at ShapeShifter Romance.

Maria Snyder is guest blogging over at Science Fiction & Fantasy Novelists. She’s talking about her novels, Poison Study and Magic Study, being reincarnated as young adult novels.

Popin’s Lair has quite a list going on of male urban fantasy authors. I knew that there were a few out there, but she has some listed that I’ve never heard out. Check it out and see if you can name anyone she has missed.

Thanks for the mention! I hadn’t known about your blog until today – guess I should google myself one of these days. :> Thanks, too for the great reviews of my books :) I’m glad you enjoyed them.
