Reviews, Character Blog, & Giveaway

Happy 2012, everyone! The year is off to a great start. I have my goals and resolutions written down and, dammit, I will follow through! LOL.

Right now through January 17th, we’re having a giveaway with two prizes: 1 signed set of Hoodoo books (Black Dust Mambo and Black Heart Loa), and 1 signed copy of any of my titles. The giveaway is happening simultaneously on three blogs, so 3 chances to win! You can read the character blog, which is a little chat with Kallie, Belladonna, Jackson, and a hapless newcomer to Bayou Cypres Noir, then enter the contest. Or you can just skip down to the contest entry. No promises that Kallie won’t lay a trick on you if you do. Just saying. 😉 Just drop by On the Broomstick or Zombie Girl Shambling or Bookgirl Knitting or all three to enter.

Also, two truly awesome reviews for Black Heart Loa came out today. My Bookish Ways, a fantastic site for urban fantasy, suspense, horror and more, and On the Broomstick, a witchy and fun blogsite.

Black Moon Mojo will be the third book in the series and, yes, I’m working on it. 🙂

Plus a GIVEAWAY!

Grab a drink of your choice, snuggle into a comfy chair and cyber-cruise over to 13 Wicked Days of Christmas on Wicked Little Pixie where we have a fun holiday chat with Dante, Von, Heather, and Lucien. They discuss holiday traditions (or lack thereof), favorite holiday movies, worst gift, and more!

Prizes include 1 signed set of Maker’s Song books (A Rush of Wings, In the Blood, Beneath the Skin, Etched in Bone); 1 signed set of Hoodoo books (Black Dust Mambo and Black Heart Loa), and 1 signed copy of any of my books, winner’s choice!

Enjoy! And HAPPY HOLIDAYS!

 

 

Layne Valin Guest Blog on Patricia’s Vampire Notes

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.
