Just a quick FYI…posts may be a little sparse until the end of the month. This is the third day in a row that Ian has decided not to take a nap and his energy level hasn’t changed. By the end of the day, I’ve been really exhausted and have been burying myself in books. Why will this change at the end of the month you ask? Easy….my mother’s taking him for a week. We’re going to the Toledo Zoo on the 30th (so definitely no post that day) and she’s taking him home with her. I so should be able to recharge. Only 13 days, 0 hours, 46 minutes and 36 seconds until that can occur though.
But great news. I’ve had this open in Firefox for a couple of days and I keep forgetting to mention it. First Drop of Crimson by Jeaniene Frost is now available for preorder at Amazon! This is the first novel in the Night Huntress series that will not focus on Cat and Bones, but will actually star their friend, Spade (aka Charles). The release date is set for January 26, 2010.

CONTEST ALERTS:
Phoebe Jordan is giving away a copy of the anthology Playing Easy to Get with authors Sherrilyn Kenyon, Jaid Black and Kresley Cole. The contest is open for a month, but I’m not sure when it started, so I’m assuming you have until the end of June.
There’s only a few more days left to get in on the contest at Sidhe Vicious. She’s giving away an autographed copy of Some Girls Bite by Chloe Neill. This is fabulous, so make sure you get over there by June 21st.
SciFiGuy still has three copies of Jacqueline Carey’s Naamah’s Kiss to give away. You better hurry, after tomorrow, there will only be one copy left, so get over there now. If you want more chances to wink Naamah’s Kiss, head over to Alpha Hereos where Nicola is giving away five copies as well and she curently only has 7 entrants – those are good odds right now.
Alaine- Queen of Happy Endingsis giving away a copy of Christine Feehan’s Fever & Burning Wild, the first two books in her Leopard People series. The contest ends June 30th.
Book Junkie is giving away a copy of Ecstasy by Jacquelyn Frank. The contest ends tomorrow, so there’s not a lot of time to enter.
Fantasy & Sci-Fi Lovin’ is giving away five copies of The Wolverine Files by Mike W. Barr. The contest ends Friday, so I wouldn’t dawdle too much.
Fantasy & Sci-Fi Lovin’ News & Reviews is giving away a signed copy of Warbreaker by Brandon Sanderson. The contest ends June 23rd.
Wow. So. Many. Contests.
