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. š
Here’s a taste:
Vessel for the Dead. Ghost ship. Spirit cabinet. Crazy
Iāve been called them all. And the only one that aināt trueāyetāis the crazy tag. But supposedly thatās my fate. The end of the road for all Vesselsāinsanity and/or a desperate, usually messy, suicide by the time you hit your late teens or early twenties.
Me, Iām twenty-five. And working hard on kicking fateās ass.
So, hey. Good to meetcha. My nameās Layne Valin and Iām a Vessel for the Dead. (Laughs) And no, this aināt a Vessels Anonymous meeting. No such thing since this aināt an addictionāVessels are born, not made, and death seems to be the only cure.

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. Donāt. And I canāt believe I even need to say that. Youād think itād 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 Ā 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: Thatās aināt true now. Them gators are beaucoup smart. Theyāre 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 Iām Kallie RiviĆØre, by the way. Sorry, forgot to mention that. Welcome to Bayou CyprĆ©s Noirāand one of our many summer BBQs. My aunt told me that you bought the Bellefontaine place down on Magnolia Road and . . .

Dante and Heather sat down for an interview at Paranormal Romance Addict and had a great time. Von dropped in to add his two cents as well. The giveaway goes until April 28th and the winner will receive a signed copy of any of my books – winner’s choice. So drop by, say hello, and enter!
Here’s a peek at the interview:
PRA: I am incredibly excited to interview Dante Baptiste and Heather Wallace today. Heather and Dante are two fabulous characters from Adrian Phoenix’s The Makers Song Series.
I know Danteās not a big fan of interviews so Iāll try to be gentle. *looks over at Dante and grins* Well, unless you like it rough. *winks*
Dante: *laughs, the sound low and warm* Gentle? Aināt familiar with that word. I only know rough, so go on, give me your best, chĆØre.
PRA: *looks over at Heather* Haha, sorry!
Heather: *smiles and flaps a hand* No need to apologize. Iām getting used to it. Hardly anyone says a word to Dante that isnāt brimming with sexual innuendo. Even me. *grins* I mean look at him.
Dante: *snorts*
Heather: *plants a quick kiss on his lips* Talk and innuendo I can deal with. But touching or kissing or groping ā now thatās another matter altogether.
Dante: *teasing smile* Aw, I love it when you go all alpha female on me, catin.

I managed to convince Dante to sit down at the keyboard and share a few of thoughts on WereVampsRomance.Ā There’s also a big giveaway–a signed set of all 4 Maker’s Song books, and three other winners get a signed book of their choice.
CONTEST ENDS AT 11:59 PM TONIGHT APRIL 2nd (Pacific Time)!
Here’s a taste of what’s simmering in Dante’s mind:
To celebrate the release of the fourth book in The Makerās Song saga, Etched in Bone, I convinced the storyās badass and beautiful Dante BaptisteāCajun, sexy frontman for Inferno, not to mention nightkind AND Fallen (provided I can get him to stop rolling his eyes and pretending to gag) to join yāall and discuss a few subjects close to his heart. And now I turn the blog over to Dante.
Merci beaucoup, but a simple āitās all yours, assholeā woulda done for an intro. For those of you who donāt know me, Iām Dante Baptiste, I live in New Orleans, and Iām the frontman for Infernoāamong other things.
