AAD Author Spotlight Interview and Giveaway
I have a fun interview (for Authors After Dark) and giveaway happening right now on Yummy Men and Kick Ass Chicks. The giveaway ends April 8th. Thanks for a great time, Julie!
Rob Thurman GIVEAWAY!
That’s right! New York Times bestselling author Rob Thurman’s latest book in the incredible Cal Leandros series, Doubletake, will be released 03.06.2012! (I already have my copy pre-ordered. And I can’t wait until it’s in my hot little hands.) I fell in love with this series with book one, Nightlife. As soon as I finished it, I promptly started over and read it again. This is a riveting and compelling story about two brothers–who only have each other–who take on monsters of all kinds, including the darkest and deadliest monsters of all–those in your own family. This series usually has me sucking in a breath and sitting on the edge of my seat, then laughing my ass off.
If you enjoy Supernatural, trust me, you’ll LOVE Rob Thurman’s Cal Leandros books. (Nightlife pre-dates Supernatural, actually.)
So to help my friend celebrate the release of her latest, we’re giving away three signed copies of Doubletake!!
To enter the contest, just post a comment stating who your fave character in the Cal Leandros books is or, if you haven’t given them a try yet (and you should. You are so depriving yourself otherwise), simply post a comment below. Receive extra points (2 points for each outlet you use) for tweeting about this contest or posting about it on Facebook (please provide links) or on any other social media. So spread the word for more chances to win!
Contest has ended. The winners are: Dana A., Judy, and Melankalia. Congrats!
Half-human/half-monster Cal Leandros knows that family is a pain. But now that pain belongs to his half-brother, Niko. Niko’s shady father is in town, and he needs a big favor. Even worse is the reunion being held by the devious Puck race – including the Leandros’ friend, Robin- featuring a lottery that no Puck wants to win.
As Cal tries to keep both Niko and Robin from paying the ultimate price for their kin, a horrific reminder from Cal’s own past arrives to remind him that blood is thicker than water…
And that’s why it’s so much more fun to spill.
Rob also has available some awesome (and free) audio, music, and wallpaper downloads. And be sure to check out the book trailer (chockful of HOT MEN)! You can also read excerpts from all the previous books in the series on Rob’s website (not to mention finding buy links.)
**I’m loving everyone’s comments below! If you need any more reasons to try this series, please read the comments being posted.
For those of you eager to try something different, consider picking up book one in this series, NIGHTLIFE. You’ll learn all about Cal and Nikos and nightmare they’ve lived since Cal was born.
Cal is my fave character, but his brother Nikos is a damned close second. Love Robin Goodfellow too.

Layne Valin Guest Blog on Patricia’s Vampire Notes
Layne Valin took time off from a nomad’s never-ending pursuit of the Road to drop by Patricia’s Vampire Notes to discuss what it’s like to be a Vessel of the Dead and to help celebrate the release of Black Heart Loa.
Layne Valin and an awesome giveaway open to international readers as well! Contest ends August 2nd, so drop by and enter now. And check out what Layne has to say while you’re there. 😉
Here’s a taste:
Vessel for the Dead. Ghost ship. Spirit cabinet. Crazy
I’ve been called them all. And the only one that ain’t true—yet—is the crazy tag. But supposedly that’s my fate. The end of the road for all Vessels—insanity and/or a desperate, usually messy, suicide by the time you hit your late teens or early twenties.
Me, I’m twenty-five. And working hard on kicking fate’s ass.
So, hey. Good to meetcha. My name’s Layne Valin and I’m a Vessel for the Dead. (Laughs) And no, this ain’t a Vessels Anonymous meeting. No such thing since this ain’t an addiction—Vessels are born, not made, and death seems to be the only cure.
