The Eternal Kiss…And Redemption Alley!

Well, now, isn’t this a red-letter occasion.

eternal kissFirst up, The Eternal Kiss, a YA vampire anthology with Libba Bray, Holly Black, Rachel Caine, fellow Dame Karen Mahoney, and several other awesome authors, including Yours Truly…is now released! You can find it at Barnes & Noble, Indiebound, Borders, and (for those of you still shopping there) Amazon. My short story, Ambition, almost didn’t get into the anthology. Nevertheless, it’s there–and it’s about one simple question: How far will you go for a taste of what everyone else has?

redemptionalleyAaaand…I am pleased and proud to report that the third Jill Kismet book, Redemption Alley, is now officially released! You can find it at Barnes & Noble, Indiebound, Borders, and Amazon.

When her police contact asks her to look into a “suicide”, Jill Kismet suddenly finds herself in a labyrinth of deception, drugs, murder–and all-too-human corruption. The cops are her allies, except for the ones who want her dead. The hellbreed are her targets, except for the ones who might know what’s going on. Her city is in danger, time is running out, and each lead only draws her deeper.

How far will a hunter go when her city — and her friends — are on the line?

Just far enough.

Step into Redemption Alley…

In many ways, this is my favorite Jill Kismet book. We don’t see Saul–he’s visiting the reservation to tend to family trouble. We barely see Perry. Instead, we see how Jill deals with the humans she interacts with, especially the police. And the last five words of this book make me cry every time.

I don’t have my author’s copies for Eternal Kiss yet. But I do have a few Redemption Alleys, and stay tuned for the Friday writing post, where I will run a giveaway. Also, if you’re signed up for my newsletter, the Dark Side, tomorrow I’ll be running another giveaway strictly for Dark Side subscribers.

And as always, you can contact Cover to Cover Books if you’d like to buy signed or personalized copies of any of my books (except the Anna Beguines, they’re pretty spendy.)

I think this is the first time I’ve been too busy to be more than moderately nervous about a book release. Which is good.

And now, if you’ll pardon me, it’s supposed to be 106 in the shade today. It’s too hot. I’m going to lay in front of the air conditioner and count my blessings.
