Running a Little Behind

7 April 2009 Jackie News 4

Check out the cover for Jordan Summer’s third Dead World novel – Crimson, which is due out November 1, 2009.

Jocelynn Drake has posted the first chapter of Dayhunter to her forum.  I know I’m a little late with that news, but she has also now posted the excerpt up at her website.

Interviews:

If you’re a fan of Jacqueline Carey’s, then I would head over to Pat’s Fantasy Hotlist where he has an exclusive excerpt for her upcoming release, Santa Olivia.

I typed in “Something Wicked” in my address bar and what came up was so not what I was expecting.  I thought I was going to find a contest for a copy of Blue Diablo by Ann Aguirre, but what I got instead was (no it wasn’t porn) a science fiction and horror magazine called Something Wicked that is based in South Africa.  It’s a quarterly magazine with contributions for local and international writers and illustrators.  How cool is that?  I’m going to be poking around the site, so if I find anything more that’s good, I’ll let you know.

Wildwitch has gotten her hands on the release schedule for Jennifer Armintrout’s soon to be released Lightworld/Darkworld trilogy.  Her information is from Harlequin themselves, so I think these should be pretty good: Queene of Light – October 2009, Child of Darkness – November 2009 and Veil of Shadows – December 2009.

io9 has an interesting article on their site today. What’s The Difference Between Story And Plot? is actually a really good question. I mean, can you have a story without a plot? Even in romance, just getting the two individuals together has some sort of plot to it, don’t you think?

Shayla Black has a couple of new covers for Seduce Me in Shadow and Possess Me at Midnight – books 2 and 3 of her Doomsday Brethren series. They’ll be released September 29, 2009 and October 27, 2009 respectively.

Do we know that the release date for Kate Daniels #4 will be March 2010?  If not, Ilona Andrews announced that on her blog recently.

Rachel Vincent has posted a teaser video for the next Werecat novel, Prey.

If you can’t tell, I’ve been a little behind these last few days, so instead of reiterating what SciFiGuy does so well, I’m going to say head over to his shop.  He has news about a new UF/PR series coming out by Georgia Evans (aka Rosemary Laurey) and the covers are pretty hot.  They kind of remind me of the Southern Vampire Mystery novels by Charlaine Harris, but a little more foreboding.

Danette over at Danette’s Chatting Lounge needs our help.  She’s doing a school paper on romance novels and she’s looking for some input.  It’s a simple poll, so go over and show her some solidarity and take it for her.  I insist.  :P

Okay, that’s all for now.

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. Hey, thanks for including the interview I did with Chloe Neill. :)

    Also, a correction to your first item: it’s Jordan Summers (not the other way around), and that cover is for Book 3. I think.

    Cheers,
    Karen

  2. Hmm looking at the covers for the Shayla Black novels you posted along with the Jessa Slade I posted today and a few others I recall recently, it looks like guys are reclaiming some cover territory. As always thanks for the link/mention. I always enjoy your roundups.

  4. Hi!

    I just wanted to pop in and say thanks for your continuing support! I wish I had the time to visit all the cool blogs but I never do find the time.

    Keep up the great work!
