And heading it with “Edge of your seat thrilling and cold shower hot . . .This series started off with a bang in Black Dust Mambo and has moved forward with one twist right after another. BLACK HEART LOA is a mind blowing read you shouldn’t miss!” amped my day up to need-my-shades bright.

Black Heart Loa Galley Contest

Black Heart Loa Galley Contest

To celebrate the new look of my site, what better than a contest? For those of you who don’t know, a book galley is a paper bound version of the book (without the regular cover) that goes out to reviewers–an uncorrected ARC (advance review copy).

So if you can’t wait to see what Kallie, Layne, Belladonna, and Dallas have been doing since you last saw them in Black Dust Mambo, now is your chance to get a jump on the books June 28th release. Even if you haven’t read Black Dust Mambo, you should be able to enjoy Black Heart Loa without reading BDM first.

To enter, post a comment about the movie or book or TV show premiere you’re looking forward to this summer.

For extra entries, post a link to this contest on Twitter, Facebook, and/or Goodreads. 2 extra entries for each place you post the contest link. I plan to give 5 signed copies away over the next five weeks. You only need to enter once to be in each of the drawings.

Black Heart Loa Cover

Black Heart Loa Cover

Here it is! The cover for the second Hoodoo book and it’s just gorgeous! Kudos to Steve Stone (the fabulous artist) and to Pocket! Release date is July 2011.

Here’s the back cover blurb:

“An eye for an eye is never enough.”

Kallie Riviere, a Cajun hoodoo apprentice with a bent for trouble, learned the meaning of those ominous words when hoodoo bogeyman Doctor Heron targeted her family for revenge. Now, while searching for her still-missing bayou pirate cousin, Kallie finds out the hard way that someone is undoing powerful gris gris, which means that working magic has become as unpredictable as rolling a handful of dice. The wards woven to protect the Gulf Coast are unraveling, leaving New Orleans and the surrounding bayous vulnerable just as a storm–the deadliest in a century–is born.

As the hurricane powers toward the heart of all she loves, Kallie desperately searches for the cause of the disturbing randomness, only to learn a deeply unsettling truth: the culprit may be herself. To protect her family and friends, including the sexy nomad Layne Valin, Kallie steps into the jaws of danger . . . and finds a loup-garou designed to steal her heart–literally.
