Award Season

12 January 2009 Jackie News 4

I have to share this….it’s the French cover for Richelle Mead’s Succubus Blues, done by the artist Jean-Sebastien Rossbach. I haven’t read this series yet, but after seeing this, I think I need to move it up on my list.

CONTEST ALERT – Lauren Dane is having a contest for an ARC of her and Megan Hart’s new novel, Taking Care of Business.  The contest runs until February 6th, so there’s some time to get your entry in.

Interviews:

  • Tez Miller, author of Tez Says, by Karen Kincy
  • Vivi Anna, author of the Valorian Chronicles, by Amberkatze – CONTEST ALERT – There are three novels up for grabs with three winners. Contest ends Jan. 18th
  • Justin Gustainis, author of Evil Ways, by Vampire Wire – CONTEST ALERT – enter to win a copy of Evil Ways.  Contest ends Jan. 17th.

The Fantasm Award finalists have been announced and there are some great novels in the list.  A few I’m not entirely familiar with, but the authors I’m aware of.

Shapeshifter Romance has an interesting discussion of the changling looks of books.  It’s a question all book readers are going to have to address at some time – traditional books or ebooks?

Urban Fantasy Land is having their 2008 UFL Awards and the nominees have been announced.  In addition to that, you can also nominate your own choices in a few select categories.  Also, just by leaving a comment with your nominations, you’re entered to win a fabulous prize, but you’ll have to go vote to find out what it is.  The polls close on January 30th, so get going.

About Jackie 3282 Articles
I am a 30-something SAHM with two adorable boys and a supportive husband who is very tolerant of my reading addiction. I love to read and easily go through about a dozen books a month – well I did before I had kids. Now, not so much. After my first son was born, I began to take my hobby of reviewing a little more serious and started Literary Escapism to help with my sanity. I love to discuss the fabulous novels I’ve read and meeting all the wonderful people in the book blogging community has been amazing.

  1. Ooh, you better mention that Tez Says is a blog. Just so people know I’m not actually an author ;-)

    Thanks for the linkage, and have a lovely day! :-)
