This and That…

I am going through all of the authors listed in the series reading list pages, and a few new details have come up (other than the fact that I have OCD issues).

• Jennifer Armentrout‘s third Covenant book, Deity, is up for preorder now at Amazon.  It will be released on November 6th.

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.
• The preorder links are now up at Amazon for the Karen Marie Moning novel, Iced, due out on October 30th.
• 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.

• The fourth book of Keri Arthur‘s Dark Angels series, Darkness Hunts, will be available on November 6th.
• and finally, Kerrelyn Sparks will release Wild About You, part of her Love at Stake series, on September 25th.

Cover Lover – 2 New Titles

I “borrowed” these two from All Things Urban Fantasy, since the two versions I had were crap.

Marjorie M. Liu released the cover for her November 29th Dirk and Steele book, Within the Flames.

And next is the upcoming third Mark of the Vampire book, Eternal Captive, from Laura Wright.  This one is due next February 7th.

Cover Lover – 4 New Titles

I skipped around the various sites and blogs I haunt, and only managed to come up with a few new covers this time around.

This one has caught my attention, I must admit.  I am really liking the new focus angels are getting lately.  Avenger’s Angel is the first book in the Lost Angels series from Heather Killough-Walden.  This one is due out on November 1st.

It has been hard to track any info down on this one, since it seems like it has been shuffled back and forth a bit on the release schedule.  Sin’s Dark Caress is part of Tracey O’Hara‘s Dark Brethren series, due out sometime later this year.  Might just be me, but the title printed on that cover looks funky.  Sins’s?

I enjoyed Falling Under by Gwen Hayes, so I was glad to find the cover for the second book in the Falling Under series.  Dreaming Awake is due out next January 3rd.

And finally come the cover for The Mortal Bone.  It is part of the Hunter Kiss series from Marjorie M. Liu, and is due out on December 27th.

Random Updates

Hard to believe that details are coming out about the 2012 releases…

• Kimberly Frost will be starting a new series, Etherlin, early next January with the release of All That Bleeds.
• Number seven for Deborah Cooke‘s Dragonfire series will be called Flashfire, due out on January 3rd.
• Haunted Warrior is the January 3rd release from Allie McKay, featuring her time traveling Highlanders.
• Looks like Alaric’s story, Heart of Atlantis, will be out on January 3rd.  It is the eighth book in Alyssa Day‘s Warriors of Poseidon series.
• Anya Bast rounds out her Dark Magick series next January with the release of Midnight Enchantment.
• Looks like Spirit Bound, the postponed Sea Haven book from Christine Feehan, will be out on December 27th.  Which means that my Ghostwalkers book will be pushed back until probably next April.  That sucks, hard.
• L.J. McDonald‘s third Sylph book, Queen of the Sylphs, will be coming out on September 15th.
• Raven Cursed is the next Jane Yellowrock book from Faith Hunter, due out on January 3rd.
• and looks like Marjorie M. Liu will be putting out another book this December 27th, called The Mortal Bone.

Random Updates

Well, usually I have to dig and scratch to get enough updates to do a couple of posts a month, but this is the second one this week…

• looks like Pamela Palmer‘s next Feral Warriors book, Ecstasy Untamed, now has an official release date of November 29th.
• some good news from C.L. Wilson.  The long-awaited The Winter King now has a release date of November 29th.

Cover Lover – In The Dark of Dreams

A while back, I posted what was supposed to be the cover of the 10th Dirk and Steele novel from Marjorie M. Liu, The Stars Below.  Well, turns out a new publisher led to a name change, and a new cover.  So, November 30th is the release date for the new and improved book, this time around called In The Dark of Dreams.

Cover Lover – The Stars Below

For some reason, I just couldn’t find the cover for the next Dirk and Steele novel from Marjorie M. Liu, called The Stars Below.  I looked everywhere, I thought, and the release date of June 20th is fast approaching, so I just couldn’t understand why it wasn’t out there.  Somewhere.  Finally, I found it on the author’s blog…and just in time for the release date, too…

*Update…Looks like this one is a no-go, replaced instead by a later release due out in November.   Amazon has both this one, and the “real” version, called In the Dark of Dreams, listed.

Cover Lover – Songs of Love and Death

I saw this one floating around in cyber-space yesterday, and thought it was a real beauty.  Not to mention having quite the line-up of authors, including Marjorie M. Liu and Jim Butcher.  Songs of Love and Death will be released on November 16th.

Cover Lover – A Wild Light

It seems that for weeks I was hunting to find a decent cover to post, all with no luck.  Now, there are too darn many to keep track of.  This one comes from Marjorie M. Liu, and while I have heard of her I have never actually read any of her work.  But if this cover is anything to go by, I have been missing out.  What gorgeous art on this one.  A Wild Light will be out on July 27th, 2010, and is the third book in the Hunter Kiss series.
