Devil Moon

I can’t remember if I’ve seen this or not, but Jenna Black now has a blurb out for her fifth Morgan Kingsley novel, The Devil’s Playground.

Morgan Kingsley, a kick-ass exorcist, can deal with Lugh, the super-sexy demon living inside her, but does he have to moan softly during her intimate moments with her mortal lover? Understandably, Brian is reluctant to share the pleasures of Morgan’s flesh with a gorgeous rogue from the Demon Realm.

But personal matters will have to wait when the opportunistic owner of The Seven Deadlies demon club in Philadelphia enlists Morgan’s help in heading off a crisis: It seems that demons have started showing up at the hot spot in alarming numbers and in the unwilling bodies of rough trade club-goers. Morgan is sure that Dougal, Lugh’s sworn enemy, is behind this, but why? To find out Morgan must summon every ounce of power at her command—or risk becoming just another casualty in an all-out demon war.

The Horror Yearbook has the official trailer for the upcoming Twilight: New Moon movie. It looks good. I will say I am a little nervous since I heard they were focusing more on Edward than Jacob for it, but the trailer makes it look amazing. What do you guys think?

Okay, there’s no way to say this without sounding too cheesy (at least that’s the problem I’m having).  If you’re a True Blood addict, than you can really become one with the new beverage Tru Blood, which is being sold by HBO.  The Horror Yearbook has some great drink recommendations that you can try with it.

Publisher’s Weekly has a really great article on the rise of angels in our paranormal literature.  They talk about several books, so be warned, you might be adding to your TBR list.

The 2009 Golden Leaf Contest for Published Authors has announced their finalists.  Maria Snyder made the list for best paranormal with Storm Glass.  Also in the paranormal category are In Over Her Head by Judi Fennell and Immortals: The Crossing by Joy Nash.  Congrats ladies!

SciFiGuy has his Weekend Report where you’ll find that they’ve changed the cover for Lili St. Crow’s Betrayals yet again.  It’s a little tough to keep up with, but Doug has doing an excellent job.

Calling all authors!  Ms. Patti Smith of the Detroit Public Schools is looking for YA novels that she can translate into Braille for her vision impaired students.  Would you be willing to donate a copy of your novel?  More information can be found on Cory Doctorow’s Craphound.com.
