Cover Lover – 3 New Titles

Another day, another couple of covers to add to the pile.  I have been waiting for a glimpse of this one for a while, and I have to say that I really like it.  Gena Showalter will be starting an Alien Huntress spin-off series on December 26th with the release of Last Kiss Goodnight.  I would love to see the whole series follow this black and white trend, too.

Also, I just found the cover for the next Jeri Smith-Ready book, Lust for Life.  This one is due out on November 27th.

And the final one for this post is from the upcoming Undead in my Bed anthology, featuring Katie MacAlister, Molly Harper and Jessica Sims.  It will be released on September 25th.

Cover Lover – 3 New Titles

Another three for the pile.  First up is one that has been making the rounds on the blogs this last week – A Tale of Two Vampires from Katie MacAlister.  I didn’t even know this one was coming out, so I need to work harder.  No idea on release date, as yet.

The second one is from E.S. Moore.  Tainted Night, Tainted Blood is the second book of the Kat Redding series, due out on July 3rd.

And the final one is from Jaime Rush.  Darkness Becomes Her is part of The Offspring series, due out on May 29th.

Penguin e-Specials

This is me, sighing.  I am so behind the times.  Turns out that Penguin Publishing has something called e-Specials, and several popular paranormal series have entries in it.  I had no clue.  Not sure if everyone else is ahead of me (er, probably), but I decided to list a few that might appeal…

• Katie MacAlister has a story called Unleashed, and it is part of her Dark Ones series.
• Red Blooded is a Gods of Midnight e-novella from Deidre Knight.
• Never actually heard much about these, but Sunny has a story called Mona Lisa Three, and it is part of her Monere series.
• This one may also be available in a print version anthology, (if I am not completely nuts), but Magic Mourns from Ilona Andrews is also available in the e-special format.
• From Virginia Kantra comes a Children of the Earth story, called Midsummer Night’s Magic.
• Wild About You is a new series from Vicki Lewis Thompson, and it features a short called Werewolf in Greenwich Village.
• I have been looking forward to the new Heather Killough-Walden Lost Angels series, and I believe Always, Angel is a prequel story.
• Moon Dance is the name of the Mageverse novella from Angela Knight.
• From the world of Deborah Cooke‘s Dragonfire series comes Harmonia’s Kiss.
• Eternal Embers is set in the Dragon’s Heat world, written by Tessa Adams.

There were a couple that were unrelated to the Penguin published ones above…

• Charley Davidson returns in the short For I Have Sinned, written by Darynda Jones.
• Early Girl Gets the Blood Wolf is a story by Michele Bardsley, part of her Broken Heart series.
• Alyssa Day will have a Warriors of Poseidon novella coming out in October called Alejandro’s Sorceress, but I can’t seem to find any info about it other than on her official site.
• and the upcoming Eternal Wolf Clan trilogy from Stephanie Tyler will get a prequel in the form of Dire Warning.  Again, no links available as yet.

I am not quite sure how adding the e-books to the new release pages will go, since there are just so darn many of them, and the suckers are proving slippery to track down with any sort of finesse.  It is sort of hit and miss, actually, unless I just haven’t managed to perfect my technique as yet.  What I will be doing is adding the e-books to the reading lists for any of the series already featured here, like the ones listed above.  Might take a while to get them all added, but should be straight forward enough to find.  It is a start, anyways.

Cover Lover – 5 New Titles

Seems like a big week for coverart…which means about 3 weeks to come where I can’t find any at all.  This time, I have five to add to the collection.  The first up is from Alexandra Ivy, a reprint of one of her Deborah Raleigh books.  My Lord Vampire will be out on march 6th.

Following up is one I haven’t heard of before.  Eternity’s Mark is the new one from Maeve Greyson, due out on March 27th.

Cover number three is from Stacey Jay.  Blood on the Bayou is the second book in the Annabelle Lee series, due out on March 27th.

I do think these are pretty.  Next up from the Light Dragons series from Katie MacAlister is Sparks Fly, the third book of the series.  It should be available on May 1st.

And last up is from Cherry Adair.  Afterglow is the followup to Hush, and should be out on March 20th.
