Cover Lover – 5 New Titles

I finally came up for air after spending the day with Lothaire (what a great day to spend a day).  Wonderful book, worth the wait.  Anyhow, I decided to do a bit of “work” around here, and found a few more covers to add.  The first one is from H.P. Mallory and her Jolie Wilkins series.  The Witch is Back is a July 31st release.

The second cover is from author Taylor Keating.  Fair Game is the third book of her Guardians series, and should be out on August 28th.

This one is from the Shadow Kissed series.  Erin Kellison will be releasing Fire Kissed on July 3rd.

Next up is the cover for the second book in Amanda Bonilla‘s Shaede Assassin series, Blood Before Sunrise.  It is also due out on July 3rd.

And last one for this time is the cover for Yasmine Galenorn‘s Night Seeker, part of her Indigo Court series (for a while I was calling it the Night Court series.  Huh).  This one is due out on July 3rd, as well.

E-book Releases

While the wonderful free Kate and Curran story Magic Gifts from Ilona Andrews is no longer available (it will be available in print  in an upcoming Kate Daniels book), and Alejandro’s Sorceress from Alyssa Day is experiencing technical difficulties, there are a couple of stories to tide us over.

• Cynthia Eden is offering a terrific free story called Bound in Sin.  It is free at Smashwords until January 13th, or it can be found at Amazon.com for $0.99.  I would love to see these stories released in a print collection.
• Kelley Armstrong returns to the Otherworld with the January 31st release of Chaotic.  It would be considered story #5.5, and it was originally released in print in the Dates from Hell anthology.
• Ghouls Night Out, story #2.5 from the Nicki Styx series from Terri Garey, is also being re-released in e-format.  It was originally available in the Weddings from Hell anthology.  Look for it on January 17th.
• January 3rd was the release date for Laura Wright‘s Eternal Blood, story #2.5 in the Mark of the Vampire series.
• Originally released in the Inked anthology, Yasmine Galenorn‘s Etched in Silver will now be available in e-format starting on January 10th.  It is #7.5 of the Sisters of the Moon series.
• and Jennifer Estep will be releasing a new Elemental Assassin novella called Thread of Death.  It will be story #5.5, and is due for release on January 31st (the same day as book #6, By a Thread).

Now, on a personal note.  Aaarrrggggghhhhhhhh!  Some of the covers I saw while going through the Kindle books for January *shuddering*.  Good lord.  I went from laughing, to sneering, to feeling like I needed a hot bath.  I was horrified.  I had high hopes they would look like the covers for Thread of Death, but, er, no.

Updates…

Only a couple of little changes to the site this go round.

• First off, the Elder Races Character Guide has been updated to include the recently released e-book, True Colors, from author Thea Harrison.
• Since we have officially rung in 2012, I deleted all of the monthly new release pages for 2011.  However, I did leave the yearly summary alone, just in case anyone needs a reference.  We probably don’t need that one, either, but I figure it won’t hurt.  The 2013 monthly release pages will be done up over the coming months.
• The Author and Series reading lists are being worked on a bit at a time.  I believe I am now done through the I – J page.

And I have been updating the new release pages, as well.  These are some that I have added…

• 2013 will see the release of the fourth Dark Angels book from Keri Arthur, this one called Darkness Hunts.
• Yasmine Galenorn is going to be busy.  There are no official release dates, as yet, but books 4 and5 of the Indigo Court series will be called Night Vision and Night’s End, respectively.  On the Otherworld side of things, number 13 will be called Haunted Moon, and it will be followed by Autumn Whispers and Crimson Veil.
• A new series from Kami Garcia will also be getting a start in 2013.  Unbreakable is the first book of the Legion series – and the movie rights have already been sold.  It will be followed by Unbound in 2014.
• Erica Hayes will also start up a new series at the end of 2012.  Revelation is the first book of the Seven Signs series, and it will be followed by Redemption in 2013.
• The second book of Meg Cabot‘s Abandon series, Underworld, will be released on May 8th.
• The second book of Kimberly Frost‘s Etherlin series, All that Falls, is due out on June 5th.
• I was so excited to add this one, even though word came out a while ago.  September will see the release of the fifth Guild Hunter book from Nalini Singh.  Archangel’s Storm will feature spymaster Jason.
• March 6th will see the release of another Geared for Pleasure, the first book in the new Elemental Steam Steampunk series from Rachel Grace.
• and Melissa de la Cruz‘s second Beauchamp Family book, Serpent’s Kiss, is going to be released on June 12th.

Cover Lover – 3 More Titles

Thanks to Nefertari who gave me the heads up that the cover was out for Shaded Vision, the next book from Yasmine Galenorn‘s Sisters of the Moon series.  It is due out on February 7th.

I also found the cover for On Midnight Wings.  It is the fifth book in Adrian Phoenix‘s Maker’s Song series, due out on March 27th of next year.

And finally (for now), the last book in Anya Bast‘s Dark Magick series will be called Midnight Enchantment.  It is scheduled for release on February 7th.  All four of the covers in this series had beautiful art and colors, and this is no exception.

Random Updates…

Soooo, every six months or so, I show just how dull my life is by going through the new release schedules, month by month, and plugging each and every author’s name into Amazon.com and Goodreads to see what they have coming out next.  Then, I check each author’s website and blog to see what is going on, too.  Then I update the “coming attractions” for each series.  I said life was dull, right?

Anyhow, I have made it through July 2011, and all of the reading lists for each title should be completely up to date, and all links added where available.  On my searches, I found some coming soon info on quite a few series…

• MaryJanice Davidson will be starting a Mermaid trilogy with the release of Underwater Love on February 7th.
