[Diana Rowland] MARK OF THE DEMON / Book 1:

Mark Of The Demon - just released on June 23rd - is this new author's first foray into paranormal fiction/urban fantasy.

This exciting first installment will be followed on January 26, 2010 by Book 2, Blood of the Demon.

As a former street cop, detective, computer forensics specialist, crime scene investigator, morgue assistant, bartender and pit boss, Diana's unusual background brings a unique authenticiy to her work.

http://www.dianarowland.com/motd.html

“Rowland spins a tale that is riveting, suspenseful, and deliciously sexy. With a unique take on demons, and with one of the most terrifying serial killers ever, Mark of the Demon will keep you up late at night turning pages.”
~ Jenna Black, author of Speak of the Devil

“Mark of the Demon is a fascinating mixture of a hard-boiled police procedural and gritty yet other-worldly urban fantasy. Diana Rowland’s professional background as a both street cop and forensic assistant not only shows through but gives the book a realism sadly lacking in all too many urban fantasy “crime” novels.”
~ L. E. Modesitt, Jr., author of the Saga of Recluce

WRITER'S MOMENT - Anya Bast

"I'm halfway through Cruel Enchantment & my characters are running amok. I'm headed in my cave (w/ a whip). Have a good one, all."

Interesting relationship you have with your characters, Anya...

WRITER'S MOMENT - Yasmine Galenorn

Excellent advice from Yasmine on Twitter:
(in reply to Isobael)

http://twitter.com/YasmineGalenorn


"Do you realize how much is actually polished in re-writing and revision? So much of the book is so diff. than 1st draft for most."

"Think of it this way: how does cake batter taste with half the ingredients and before it's been baked? Not all that good."

"during revisions you add the rest of the ingredients, make sure the oven temp is right and bake it--only then is it really a cake."

"but if you always go back to double check the recipe and worry about what you've already put in, you'll never get the rest done."

Another highly anticipated series begins June 30th. Dying Bites, is the first of 3 contracted books by new author D.D. Barant.

http://us.macmillan.com/dyingbites

Advanced press is looking very good:

"Surviving in this unique alternate reality will take a heroine with plenty of guts, moxie and a sense of the absurd. This fresh and original take on urban fantasy follows the first-person exploits of an FBI profiler literally yanked out of her world. Huge kudos to Barant for spicing things up with a story that expertly integrates detective work, kick-butt action and a wacky sense of humor. Make sure you get in early on the outstanding new Bloodhound Files series."

~ Romantic Times

[Linda Robertson] VICIOUS CIRCLE / Book 1: Circle Series

http://www.wolfsbaneandabsinthe.com/VICIOUS_CIRCLE.html

Advance Buzz is fueling the anticipation:

"Extraordinary events can occur in ordinary settings when a tarot-reading witch is pitted against a powerful vampire. This urban fantasy has a good plot told in the first person by a feisty heroine with a sense of humor. Well-developed supernatural characters, mystery and a touch of romance add up to an out-of-this-world thriller."

[Rachel Vincent] PREY / Book 4: The Shifters

Hearing the most amazing advance reviews for Prey Book 4 of Rachel's 'Shifters' series due in stores on July 1st.

The 'Shifters' series is widely considered a must-read for paranormal romance. You may still have time to read the first 3 books: Stray, Rogue, and Pride...

http://rachelvincent.com/prey.htm

"...you won’t be bored with Prey and you’ll end up crying or raging right along with Faythe. Anyone reading this will want to have a box of tissues right next to them, especially if you’re a softie like I am, because I could have really used them. I really really liked Prey, but there is still so much I want to talk about that I’m going to end it here before I give away too much. Let’s just say, that if you’re a fan of this series, you cannot wait for the library. Head to the bookstore and get this on June 30th (or as soon as you can). I seriously started Prey this morning and haven’t been able to put it down..."

WRITER'S MOMENT - Ilona Andrews

Ilona: You've captured a moment every writer has to overcome - I think we can all relate!
From Ilona's Blog:





June 10th, 2009 by Ilona Andrews
Yes

One wall in the living room is painted - white. Very nice white. Very clean and buyer-friendly.

I will now have to write Edge 2. I will sit here on my butt and try to get excited about writing Edge 2. Oh yes. Edge 2. Excited. Here we go.

Here we go.

A thousand words. I can do a thousand word in my sleep. Yep.

Any minute now. Aaaaany minute.

Maybe if I change the font.

Who names a font Centaur anyway? I expected little horsies.

Maybe I should start a whole new file.

Dear writing gods. Inspiration would be nice.

Maybe I should go look at my bank account. That ought to help.

Come on, Ilona. Who wants a shiny new contract in the fall? Who isn’t going to get said contract unless she writes the books she’s already contracted for.

I can do it.

You know what would help, what if I back up all of my writing onto this usb drive and delete everything I don’t need. Then I wouldn’t have all those folders. Ooh, it lights up. Cool beans.

5 minutes of copying… Tadadam. Tadadadam. I should clean out my downloads too while I am at it. I minute and 5 seconds. Maybe a new wallpaper for the screen.

Ooh. Something Diana Francis might like http://www.wincustomize.com/zoom.aspx?skinid=40209&libid=8

Hmm kinda pretty http://www.wincustomize.com/skins.aspx?skinid=37926&libid=8

Okay. Everything is cleaned out. Like it or not, I have to work. New file. Arial font. 1,000 words. See you on the other side.

[Diana Pharaoh Francis] BITTER NIGHT / Book 1: Horngate Witches

Bitter Night, the first of Diana Pharaoh Francis' new 'Horngate Witches' novels will hit stores October 27, 2009.

This foray into urban fantasy follows on the heels of two successful epic fantasy franchises - 'The Crosspointe Chronicles' and 'The Path' books.

Finding a description wasn't easy: "a woman is sent to investigate a murder that hasn't happened yet, and what she learns triggers a battle between two feuding witches and sets off a war of magic that draws in both the Uncanny and the Divine and has the potential to remake the world."

http://www.dianapfrancis.com/

“In the deliciously epic Bitter Night, Diana Pharaoh Francis has married the Charles de Lint-style old school urban fantasy to the new college of asskickery in a pagan-pirate handfast. I totally loved this book.”

~Ann Aguirre, national bestselling author of Blue Diablo and Grimspace

From Laci's Blog:

See My Shame

My first drafts are heinous, the worst piece of shit writing ever. But when I’m editing them they at least provide a source of amusement.

Like this sentence, full of one hell of an epic dangling participle and a whopper of a typo:

Her abdomen quivered at the touch of his warm lips to her flesh, remembered what it felt like to have his moth down there

No, really. Don’t thank me.

"Gifted Devoti adds urban fantasy to her growing list of genres with the launch of a gritty first-person series featuring modern-day Amazons. Secrets and stubbornness impact all the major players in this dark drama/murder mystery. If this book is any indication, Devoti has a brilliant future ahead in this genre!”

~ Jill M. Smith, Romantic Times Magazine (4.5 Stars!)

"This intriguing series from urban fantasist Devoti (Dark Crusade) marks Juno’s first outing as a Pocket imprint. A group of Amazon women in present-day America closely guard their extraordinary powers and only interact with men for breeding. Melanippe, who left the Amazons 10 years ago to raise her daughter, runs a Madison, Wis., tattoo parlor and nurses a grudge against the priestess she believes killed her infant son. When two Amazon women are slain and dumped on Mel’s doorstep, their tribe immediately suspect her of the killing. Mel soon wonders who poses the greatest threat to her adolescent daughter: the unknown murderer, the rigidly controlling Amazons or disturbingly attractive and magically skilled tattoo artist Peter Arpada. Mel can be a frustrating sleuth, jumping to conclusions and ignoring obvious clues, but Devoti’s fascinating mix of myth and reality will keep readers engaged."
