NEW RELEASE

Antiphon (The Psalms of Isaak)by Ken Scholes
Nothing is as it seems to be.

The ancient past is not dead. The hand of the Wizard Kings still reaches out to challenge the Androfrancine Order, to control the magick and technology that they sought to understand and claim for their own.

Nebios, the boy who watched the destruction of the city of Windwir, now runs the vast deserts of the world, far from his beloved Marsh Queen. He is being hunted by strange women warriors, while his dreams are invaded by warnings from his dead father.

Jin Li Tam, queen of the Ninefold Forest, guards her son as best she can against both murderous threats, and the usurper queen and her evangelists. They bring a message: Jakob is the child of promise of their Gospel, and the Crimson Empress is on her way.

And in hidden places, the remnants of the Androfrancine order formulate their response to the song pouring out of a silver crescent that was found in the wastes.
“The third installment of Scholes’s grand-scale Psalms of Isaak saga (after 2009′s Canticle) expands the genre-blending narrative in glorious style… A diverse cast of dynamic characters, a tantalizingly labyrinthine mystery, a world full of wonders, and powerful symbolism and imagery power this seamless merging of epic fantasy and science fiction. (Sept.)” — Publisher’s Weekly, starred review

Kitty’s Greatest Hits by Carrie Vaughn.
The first-ever story collection from the New York Times bestselling author, including two all-new works!

Kitty Norville, star of a New York Times bestselling series, is everybody’s favorite werewolf DJ and out-of-the-closet supernatural creature. Over the course of eight books she’s fought evil vampires, were-creatures, and some serious black magic. She’s done it all with a sharp wit and the help of a memorable cast of werewolf hunters, psychics, and if-notgood- then-neutral vampires by her side. Kitty’s Greatest Hits not only gives readers some of Kitty’s further adventures, it offers longtime fans a window into the origins of some of their favorite characters.

In “Conquistador de la Noche,” we learn the origin story of Denver’s Master vampire, Rick; with “Wild Ride,” we find out how Kitty’s friend T.J. became a werewolf; and in “Life is the Teacher,” we revisit Emma, the human-turned-unwilling-vampire who serves the aloof vampire Master of Washington, D.C.

This entertaining collection includes two brand-new works: “You’re On the Air,” about one of Kitty’s callers after he hangs up the phone; and the eagerly awaited “Long Time Waiting,” the novella that finally reveals just what happened to Cormac in prison, something every Kitty fan wants to know.

Texas Gothic — a YA supernatural mystery

Leave The Light On…

The column of light burned blue as a gas flame, and in the incandescent center was a hazy outline of a man… A formless arm lifted slowly, as if pulling against the weight of death to reach for me, and the shade of a mouth worked in soundless desperation as the hollow eyes fixed on my face.

“This engaging mystery has plenty of both paranormal and romance, spiced with loving families and satisfyingly packed with self-sufficient, competent girls.” — Kirkus, starred review

From Candace Havens
Forensic anthropologist Patience McGee doesn’t play games. So when she offers to investigate the death of businessman Cade Randall’s father from twenty years ago, Cade’s ambivalence is nothing short of frustrating. Well, she’ll show this mouthwateringly hot man exactly who he’s dealing with….

Cade had made up his mind to walk away from the case—until Patience dared him to help her investigate the murder. And as they immerse themselves in the mystery, it isn’t long before the vibe between them goes from civil to sizzle. But what will happen when Cade and Patience realize that the most dangerous dare of all…is the truth?

From Charlene Teglia
From the jungles of South America to a big city high-rise, where there’s trouble, you’ll find…MEN OF ACTION.

Shoot to Thrill
Gabriel Everest had a simple plan; infiltrate, attack, exfiltrate. Unfortunately, he encountered a major complication in Dr. Miranda Gray. Blowing the target would have to wait until he could rescue the hostage, but saving the girl and getting away without alerting the opposition is harder than it sounds when she’s determined to take direct action of her own.

Third Time’s the Charm
Loving a cop isn’t easy. Faced with an emotional distance their physical attraction couldn’t bridge, Lynn Taylor walked away. Twice. But Nick Logan isn’t ready to let her go. When an elevator mishap leaves them trapped together in the dark, can two lovers find a way to make the third time the charm?

Originally published in The Mammoth Book of Special Ops Romance and Passion: Erotic Romance for Women, these stories have been revised and expanded for this ebook edition.

Released in April
Carrie Vaughn
Can an accountant defeat a supervillain? Celia West, only daughter of the heroic leaders of the superpowered Olympiad, has spent the past few years estranged from her parents and their high-powered lifestyle. She’s had enough of masks and heroics, and wants only to live her own quiet life out from under the shadow of West Plaza and her rich and famous parents.

Then she is called into her boss’ office and told that as the city’s top forensic accountant, Celia is the best chance the prosecution has to catch notorious supervillain the Destructor for tax fraud. In the course of the trial, Celia’s troubled past comes to light and family secrets are revealed as the rift between Celia and her parents grows deeper. Cut off from friends and family, Celia must come to terms with the fact that she might just be Commerce City’s only hope.

This all-new and moving story of love, family, and sacrifice is an homage to Golden Age comics that no fan will want to miss.

This week is time off for the Genreality authors. Yep, so we can spend time with family, friends, and book we want to read before we get back to it and start 2011 off with a bang.

However, I’ll still be posting a little some’n some’n every day for those of you who have to have your blog surfing fix regularly. (I’m one of those people, so I understand the withdrawal) Nothing big, but maybe some news tidbits and such..so drop in and see whats what.

First bit of news…check out Carrie’s new cover art for the next installment in her bestselling Kitty the Werewolf series.

Now, Carrie didn’t tell me this, but I’m guessing this one is a compilation of all those short stories she wrote. I’ve read some of the shorts here and there, and I look forward to having them all in one book.

What do you think? You like? How many of you have read this series? If you haven’t, why not? It’s fabulous!
