Cover Lover – 4 New Titles

I am thinking that there should be quite a bit of new info coming out soon, since the first quarter of the year is nearly done, but to tide us over I have four new covers to up.  After a false alarm last week, it looks like there is now an official cover for Ann Aguirre‘s Outpost.  This one is due out on September 4th.

Next up is Fury’s Kiss, the next book in the Midnight’s Daughter series from Karin Chance featuring Dorina Barasab.  This one is scheduled for release on October 2nd.

Now, I was surprised by this one.  The cover for Rogue Rider just doesn’t seem to fit with the rest of the Lords of Deliverance series, but this is what Amazon is listing as the cover (at least for the Kindle edition).  This Larissa Ione story will feature Reseph, and will be out on November 20th.

I saved my favorite one for last.  Now, I am not sure about yet another spin-off for Jacquelyn Frank‘s original Nightwalkers series, but it looks like yet another one is in the works.  This series will feature the Bodywalkers, and the first book is called Forbidden.  Look for it on October 30th.

From the Author Pages

Every week, I try and update the author pages with whatever new info or covers have come out, etc.  I thought I might just summarize what I did this past week in a post.

• Alexandra Ivy‘s next Guardians of Eternity book, Fear the Darkness, will be out a couple of weeks earlier than planned.  It is now an August 28th release.  Also, on her official blog, there is a small excerpt from the first book of the new series she is starting up called The Sentinels.
• There has been some question about what is up with the very slow release schedule of C.L. Wilson.  Well, turns out that illness forced a delay to her schedule, but things are still on the go for The Winter King, and then Bel and Galen’s Tairen Soul books.
• There will be another Bound novella from Cynthia Eden.  Bound by the Night will be released next week, but the cover and blurb have been upped HERE.
• Ilona Andrews is re-releasing Magic Dreams, the short story originally published in last years Hexed anthology, in e-format on June 26th.
• From what I can tell, it looks like Jacquelyn Frank will be releasing the first book of a Nightwalkers spin-off series on October 30th.  Forbidden is part of the Bodywalkers series.  Amazon still lists it as Seduce Me in Shadows, but the write up is correct.
• Jeaniene Frost is also re-releasing a previous anthology in e-format.  Night’s Darkest Embrace was originally in Haunted by Your Touch, and was set in the new world of Nocturna.  It should be out on November 13th.
• The future of the Midnight Breed series from Lara Adrian was sort of up in the air, but it appears that now a bit of info is starting to come out about book 11.  Edge of Dawn will be out later this year, and will feature a now grown-up Mira.
• oh, and I did a bit of a switch around.  I deleted the author section for Rhyannon Byrd, but I also created a new one for Cassandra Clare, which can be found HERE.

New Release Dates

Wow, there is still a ton of info coming out about upcoming releases.  I sort of wish they would spread the love out a bit, but I shouldn’t complain.  So, this is what has been /will be added to the new release pages…

• Marjorie M. Liu will be going the steampunk way with the release of A Furious Darkness on November 27th.
• The second book in Juliana Stone‘s League of Guardians series, King of the Damned, will be out on November 27th.

• Keri Arthur‘s second re-released Ripple Creek Werewolf book, Beneath a Darkening Moon, will be out on October 30th.
• I am not quite sure about this one, but September 25th is the release date for a Jacquelyn Frank book.  Originally it was to be the third Three Worlds novel, but now it is listed as Forbidden: The World of Nightwalkers.  I must investigate further, since this is the first I have heard of another Nightwalkers spin off.
• Sacrifice the Wicked, part of Karina Cooper‘s Dark Mission world, will be released on September 25th.
• Caine and Cassandra’s Guardians of Eternity story now has a title and a release date.  The Alexandra Ivy book will be called Fear the Darkness, and it will be available on September 1st.

• and finally, Kerrelyn Sparks will release Wild About You, part of her Love at Stake series, on September 25th.

August Giveaway Winner

Today was the day to choose the winner of the August giveaway, a choice of either Bloodlines from Richelle Mead, or the Supernatural anthology featuring G.A. Aiken, Jacquelyn Frank, Larissa Ione and Alexandra Ivy.  Well, the original winner, chosen through Random.org, was LethalLovely…who hadn’t entered.  Sooo, the second randomly generated winner is…

Congratulations, Lea Ellen.  I will be sending you an e-mail for your contact info.

August Giveaway

I can’t tell you how long I stared at the monthly release page for August, trying to decide which one I was most excited about and wanted to give away.  “That one!  NO.  That one!  YES!  Or maybe…”.  Eh.  So, I decided to try something a little different.  Winner’s Choice.  There will be two selections to choose from, winner picks which one they want.  Ha.  No deciding for me.

First up, Door Number One…

I seem to be on a Young Adult kick the last few days, so giveaway choice number one is Bloodlines from Richelle Mead.  This one comes out on August 23rd, and it is the first of six books of the Vampire Academy spin-off series, also called Bloodlines.  I have to admit, I would knaw someone’s arm off to get my hands on this.  Just saying.

Synopsis…

When alchemist Sydney is ordered into hiding to protect the life of Moroi princess Jill Dragomir, the last place she expects to be sent is a human private school in Palm Springs, California. But at their new school, the drama is only just beginning. 

Populated with new faces as well as familiar ones, Bloodlines explores all the friendship, romance, battles and betrayals that made the #1 New York Times bestselling Vampire Academy series so addictive – this time in a part-vampire, part-human setting where the stakes are even higher and everyone’s out for blood.

The Golden Lily will follow on May 1st.

Or, behind Door Number Two…

I got tired of playing eeny, meeny, miny, moe, going between the new Shannon K. Butcher, Alpha Pack, or Elder Races books.  So I went with Supernatural. It is the much anticipated anthology book featuring G.A. Aiken, Jacquelyn Frank, Larissa Ione, and Alexandra Ivy (and it has the distinction of being the only anthology in history where I faithfully read all of the series represented).  Not feeling the cover, but what can you do?

Synopsis…

VAMPIRE FIGHT CLUB (Demonica), by Larissa Ione:
When a wave of violence forces shapeshifter Vladlena to go undercover, her first stop is a haven of vice – with a dangerously sexy vamp in charge. Both Vladlena and Nathan are hiding something, but they can’t conceal the lust that simmers between them…

“Darkness Eternal” (Guardians of Eternity) by Alexandra Ivy
After being held captive by one vampire for four centuries, Kata had no intention of taking another one to the underworld with her. Yet even in the pits of hell, there’s no ignoring the intoxicating desire awakened by his touch…

“Kane” (Nightwalkers) by Jacquelyn Frank
Kane knows Corrine was meant to be his… just as he knows that truly possessing the lovely human is forbidden. But on the night of the Samhain moon, the beast in every demon is stronger than reason, and Kane’s hunger is more powerful than any punishment…

“Dragon on Top” (Dragon Kin) by G.A. Aiken
Escorting the highborn Bram through deadly Sand Dragon territory will try Ghleanna’s patience… and her resolve. For Bram is determined to enhance the journey with a seduction no female could resist…

Sooo, that is about it.  Giveaway ends Friday, August 5th.  To be eligible, you must have made at least one post on Wicked Scribes before.  Drop a line in the comment section to enter.  Winner to be chosen at random.  Good luck to all.

Cover Lover – 3 New Titles

A few new ones have been popping up…

Now, I know that this one follows very closely the look of the previous five books in Jacquelyn Frank‘s Nightwalker series, but the cover for Adam (due out on November 1st) left me a bit underwhelmed.  Plus, I know this is Jasmine’s story, but for the life of me I can’t remember who Adam is…

Next up is Eye of the Tempest, from Nicole Peeler.  This fourth book in her Jane True series is due out on July 26th.

And finally, Michelle Rowen has released the cover for her next Living In Eden book, called That Old Black Magic.  This one should be out on December 6th.

Cover Lover – 2 New Titles

Well, count me…underwhelmed.  Four great authors, all of whom I follow faithfully, in one anthology.  Sounds great.  Someone could have at least put a bit of work into the darn cover for it.  Supernatural contains a Demonica story from Larissa Ione, a Nightwalkers story from Jacquelyn Frank, a Guardians of Eternity Story from Alexandra Ivy, and a Dragon Kin story from G.A. Aiken.  I am looking forward to it, for sure, but the cover was still a let down.  It is due out on August 30th.

 

The second one is from another anthology also due out on August 30th.  So I Married a Demon Slayer features Angie Fox, Kathy Love and Lexi George.
