Black Heart Loa and Etched in Bone
Real exciting, actually! Simon & Schuster is having an awesome special on e-books to celebrate the NY Comic Con, and even though the con is over, you can still take advantage of the $3.99 e-books through November 14th. One of the titles is A Rush of Wings. Ahem. (And you don’t need to have attended the con in order to participate in the special.)
Hey all, I’ll be discussing Black Dust Mambo and Black Heart Loa and hoodoo in general tonight LIVE on Talk Shoe with Jackie from Literary Escapism and Larissa from Larissa’s Bookish Ways. You can get all the details here.
I’ll be chatting with Jackie and Larissa at 9 PM Eastern (6 PM Pacific). Please drop by. It should be a blast!!
It seems that cover copy for Etched in Bone was accidentally released as cover copy for On Midnight Wings. Pocket has since corrected the mistake. Here is the correct cover copy. OMW will be released March 27, 2012.
A DESPERATE SEARCH. A DARK AND DANGEROUS JOURNEY. AND EVERY STEP COULD DESTROY EVERYONE DANTE LOVES.
ONLY ONE MORTAL WOMAN CAN SAVE HIM . . .
As Dante Baptiste’s true identity as both True Blood and Fallen ripples throughout New Orleans, he and Heather struggle for their lives against different foes, fighting their way back to each other. To free herself from her father’s treachery, Heather accepts help from an ally–and steps into even greater danger. Dante, lost to his brutal past, wavers between his own sense of self and the Bad Seed-programmed S that lurks within, between the never-ending Road and the Great Destroyer. And the danger of becoming both.
. . . UNLESS THE FALLEN REACH HIM FIRST.
Lucien searches frantically for the lovers, all too aware that time is running out. Dark forces continue to gather, eager to possess and manipulate the young vampire for their own ends. The fate of mortals, nightkind, and the Fallen pivots around Dante as he struggles to piece together his shattered psyche and gain control of his power before he rips all three worlds asunder.

Here it is! The cover for On Midnight Wings, and I’ve got to say that Craig White did a magnificent job! Kudos to Craig.
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
Titled “Gators Prefer Tourists in Marshmallow Suits or Don’t Feed the Gators Marshmallows”, Kallie, Belladonna, and Jackson from the Hoodoo series fill in a newcomer to town on the ins and outs of the place and all the potential dangers on Dark Faerie Tales Deadly Destination series.
Here’s a snippet:
Kallie: Seriously. Don’t. And I can’t believe I even need to say that. You’d think it’d be obvious. But every day, the Cajun tour guides take goggle-eyed tourists slathered in sunscreen and bug spray out on their swamp boats and let them snap pictures with camera and cell phones while they toss marshmallows to swimming carnivores.
Hooo-EEEE. Here, pretty Bab-BEH!
Swimming carnivores who eye the boat hopefully, wishing one of those soft, pale picture-snapping tourists would tumble right over that rail and into their bellies. Tourist nummie-nums.
Jackson: That’s ain’t true now. Them gators are beaucoup smart. They’re the ones getting free snacks, not the ones paying for the privilege to watch as those snacks are gobbled up, them.
Kallie: Oh, this is my cousin, Jackson Bonaparte. And I’m Kallie Rivière, by the way. Sorry, forgot to mention that. Welcome to Bayou Cyprés Noir—and one of our many summer BBQs. My aunt told me that you bought the Bellefontaine place down on Magnolia Road and . . .
