Updating time once again…
- While the very, very long delayed Alejandro’s Sorceress is apparently going to make it to e-release sometime next week, it looks like Alyssa Day is also going to be re-releasing her previous novellas in e-format as well. Wild Hearts in Atlantis (originally published in the Wild Thing anthology) will be released on October 2nd, and Shifter’s Lady (from the anthology Shifter) will follow on November 6th.
- Originally scheduled for a mid-January release, looks like Jennifer Estep‘s third Mythos Academy book, Crimson Frost, is up at Amazon for preorder for December 24th.
- Looks like Lara Adrian is getting in on the e-book re-release thing, too. Written under the name Tina St. John, Lara has recently released the Dragon Chalice series in e-format (Heart of the Hunter, Heart of the Flame, Heart of the Dove). Turns out they will also be coming in trade paperback format, as well. Details to come.
- There will be a compilation book from Sherrilyn Kenyon featuring all of the short stories written for St. Martin’s Press. Dark Bites will feature Fear the Darkness (first time in print), and an all new short story starring Acheron. This one will be out on November 5th.
- oh, and the blurb for the upcoming Elder Races novella from Thea Harrison, Devil’s Gate, is now out. I am still iffy about a medusa lead – snakes ain’t my thing – but who knows?
Synopsis…
When it comes to love between a medusa and a Vampyre, it’s every man, woman, and snake for themselves.
As a coroner, medusa Seremela Telemar has always felt more comfortable chatting over a dead body than over drinks. But when her wild niece, Vetta, runs off to Devil’s Gate, a lawless town that has sprung up overnight in a modern-day gold rush, she knows she has to extricate her before the rebellious girl gets into real trouble. Though she’s confident in her head snakes’ ability to defend her against attackers, Seremela is still a bit nervous about braving this modern-day Wild West by herself.
Vampyre Duncan Turner is not about to let his new co-worker go into that chaos alone. His Vampyric power and lawyer smarts make him the perfect ally, and the fact that he already had his eye on Seremela for more…personal reasons, doesn’t hurt matters. Any romantic thoughts pull up short, however, when they arrive at Devil’s Gate and learn Vetta is set to hang by morning.
In order to save Vetta and themselves, Seremela and Duncan are going to have to fight fire with force and magic with fangs. And pray they make it out of Devil’s Gate alive.
Okay, but is this an e-novella or is it a short story inside an anthology? This makes me nuts when authors release a short story but only give you the title of their short story. God forbid they should actually tell you where you can FIND the short story!
The Alyssa Day titles are all e-novellas, but it looks like Alejandro’s Sorceress has been delayed. Again. It went from December to January to March to April to…you get the idea. Even though it was supposed to be released “at the end of the week” a couple of week ago, there is still no sign at all.
The Thea Harrison one is also an e-novella, the third of four. I actually wish these ones came out in printed anthologies, but no luck, as yet anyways.
I do know what you mean about finding the e-novellas, though. The notice you get for them coming out is nowhere near the time you get for printed books, and I find it really hard to keep track of.
