Vampire Dating Tips & Giveaway on Strange Candy Reviews

Vampire Dating Tips & Giveaway on Strange Candy Reviews

On Strange Candy Reviews, I thought I’d offer up a bit of tongue in cheek advice for those going out on their first few dates with nightkind. Dating a member of your own species is hard enough, but dating a member of the twilight-to-dawn crowd? Fuhget-about-it!

Here’s a taste:

Dating can be awkward at best, but going out with nightkind offers whole new kinds of awkward moments—from the first date to the ones that (hopefully) follow when you really start getting to know each other. Here’s a quick guide to avoid blunders and faux pas while dating that sexy bit of nightkind.
Dating Tips for Mortals:
1. Don’t make any daytime plans. Unless your date happens to sparkle in sunshine or has a special ring/potion/enchanted sunglasses or whatever, figure that all activity will be taking place after sunset. Any dates before sunset might require a fire extinguisher. They are called nightkind for a reason.
One lucky winner will receive a signed copy of Etched in Bone, plus a signed copy of any of the other Maker’s Song books!

Guest blog & Giveaway on Paranormal Spring Break.

Happy Mardi Gras! To celebrate Fat Tuesday, I’m guest blogging on Parajunkee’s Paranormal Spring Break about New Orleans and we’re giving away books. Here’s a taste:

“Happy Mardi Gras ya’ll! Gracing the PJV on this day of days is the author of the The Maker’s Song series, Adrian Phoenix, with even more (signed) copies of Etched in Bone to giveaway! Ms. Phoenix’s characters frolic in and around the Crescent City so it is only fitting that she tells us a little bit about her world…

Paranormal Spring Break – the perfect time to discuss the city that’s nearest and dearest to my paranormal fantasies—New Orleans. If a person can have a soul mate, then I believe they can have a soul city, a place that whispers home. N’awlins is my soul city.

(Adrian) Phoenix Rising: An Interview with Urban Fantasy’s Hottest – and Most Underrated – Writer

I had the pleasure of doing an interview with Paul Goat Allen. He’s a full-time book reviewer and the moderator for BN.com’s Paranormal and Urban Fantasy Book Club, (Etched in Bone is a featured March read) and a damned good interviewer on top of being a very cool person.

Here’s a taste of the review and interview:

“There are a lot of great urban fantasy sagas out there – Kim Harrison’s Rachel Morgan series, LKH’s Anita Blake, Jim Butcher’s Dresden Files, the Mercy Thompson series from Patricia Briggs, etc. – but it shocks me that more readers don’t mention Adrian Phoenix’s The Maker’s Song when talking about the crème de la crème of the genre. I’m not taking anything away from the aforementioned series – they’re all exceptional in their own right – but Phoenix’s Maker’s Song sequence is just a transcendent saga.

“Begun in 2008 with the release of Phoenix’s debut novel, A Rush of Wings, and continued with In the Blood, Beneath the Skin, and the recently released Etched in Bone, the storyline revolves around the sensually super-charged relationship between former FBI special agent Heather Wallace and vampire goth rock star Dante Baptiste, who is so much more than he seems…”
