Discussions about the book are taking place at several different sites. You can join in the discussion at Bitten by Books in the weekly book group (going through this weekend for BDM). I’ll be answering any questions y’all might have about the story and so will the characters.
You can also join in the fun at BN.com’s Paranormal & Urban Fantasy book club.
Or drop by the Club Hell Forum and visit the Black Dust Mambo thread and chat away.
Hey all! Comic Con is almost upon us! My official schedule is fairly light – which leaves me more time for writing and for looking around. 😉
Thursday, July 22: 3:00-4:00 “Kiss Them or Kill Them? Conflict Management for the Creatures Among Us.”  Room 25ABC. Urban fantasy authors discuss when to kill the monster, date the monster . . . or both and in that order. A signing follows right after in the Convention’s Autograph Area upstairs under the sails. I’ll be at table AA2 signing from 4:00-5:00.
Friday, July 23: Signing at the Mysterious Galaxy Booth at 5:00
Saturday, July 24: I have a signing at the Borders store in Riverside from noon until 3:00. The address is 3615 Riverside Plaza Drive, Riverside, CA 92507
Hope to see you there!
I had a great chat with Matt and Shannon of Seattle Geekly.com as they put together a podcast featuring female authors including Marjorie M. Liu, Jessica Slade, Mira Grant, Seanan McGuire, Jennifer Brozek, and myself. Take a listen . . . 
I’m very excited about BLACK DUST MAMBO being a July featured read in BN.com’s Paranormal & Urban Fantasy book club. Feel free to drop by and post your comments or ask a question. Membership is free and there are a ton of good books and reading recommendations in the book club.
Also, please check out Paul Goat Allen’s (book club moderator and reviewer) incredible review of BLACK DUST MAMBO and my career (thus far)!
Here’s the opening: “Even after almost 20 years as a genre fiction book reviewer, I’m still surprised—shocked—by how many mediocre writers hit it big while other singularly brilliant novelists wallow in obscurity. For example, in urban fantasy the most underrated writer is unarguably Adrian Phoenix, author of one of the coolest, thematically deepest, and most wildly entertaining series ever written in the genre: The Maker’s Song (A Rush of Wings, In the Blood, Beneath the Skin, and the forthcoming Etched in Bone), which features vampire goth rock star Dante Baptiste and former FBI special agent Heather Wallace.”
