Join me at All Things Urban Fantasy for my guest post on the nature of dark urban fantasy. We are also having a mega-giveaway (thanks to my publisher, Simon & Schuster) of signed copies of BLACK DUST MAMBO (7 copies!) and 1 signed set of the first 3 Maker’s Song book: A RUSH OF WINGS, IN THE BLOOD, and BENEATH THE SKIN.
On October 6, 2010 at 5:16 PM (a fascinating time, since it also equals his Uncle Matt’s birth date of May 16), my grandson, Liam Quade Phoenix was born healthy and with all toes and fingers.
Ah, a household of Libras. Take a look at these birth dates:
Mom – September 30
Nana – October 4
Big Sister – October 16
Dad – October 20
Uncle Matt is the lone Taurus and Aunt Sherri is the lone Pisces. LOL.
Libra is represented by the scales of balance, but I think with that many pairs of scales swinging around, we’re all just a tad unbalanced. LOL.
Here’s a few pictures of the happy event. (Liam’s sister – Kylah – will be 11 years old on the 16th, and she’s been a huge help to her folks and just loving her “little bro.”)
Liam & his dad, Sebastian
Liam & big sister, Kylah
Liam & Nana (who desperately needs to do her roots!)
Midnight Moon Cafe is featuring Black Dust Mambo and will be giving away a signed copy of Black Dust Mambo. Drop by, the site and leave a comment for a chance to win a signed copy of the book.
Black Dust Mambo
For those of you who’ve already read the book, I’d love to hear who your favorite character is. Trouble-bait Kallie? Nomad Layne? Web-Md obsessed Belladonna? Love-em-and-leave-em Dallas? Fiery McKenna? Urbane Lord Augustine? Bondalicious Felicity?
