Wow. I just realized the last time I played in the author blogs, and news stuff, was back in May!? What!? Could that be? I think so, ’cause I just realized, there’s lots o’ stuff going on with them these days, and I’m getting antsy for some of these books!!!
- Stacia Kane announced the title for Book #5 in the Downside Ghosts series —> Chasing Magic. She also provides us a link to a HUGE excerpt to her upcoming book #4, Sacrificial Magic (expected release date is killing me!! March 27th 2012) – whhhhyyyyyy!!!!???? (that’s in my whining voice)
- Larissa Ione posts an “Immortal Rider (Lords of Deliverance)” excerpt (release date Nov 22nd 2011)
- Cassandra Clare posts her prologue for her upcoming Clockwork Prince (Infernal Devices) (December 6th 2011)
- Richelle Mead posts the first chapter of Succubus Revealed (Georgina Kincaid, Book 6) (August 30th 2011) AND!!! Chapter one for the her Vampire Academy spinoff —>Bloodlines
- Richelle also blogs about her upcoming release Shadow Heir (January 3rd 2012). It will be the last book in Eugenie’s Dark Swan series (book# 4) but it will be a HUGE book (since it covers material that might have made it into a 5th book). What’s in store for possible future “adult” series? She is kicking around a few ideas, but with the arrival of her new baby, things are a bit “up in the air” for now.
- Gena Showalter is working on a spinoff for her Lords of the Underworld series (angels!!)
“…all I can really say is that the angels will be at the helm, the first book will be released sometime in 2012, and the Lords will have cameos. We’re still hammering out a lot of the details.”
- Gena also posted an excerpt for her upcoming Dark Taste of Rapture (August 23rd 2011)
- J.R. Ward posted quite a little ummm… ahem, tiny excerpt (on her Facebook) from Tohr’s upcoming book (Lover Reborn: A Novel of the Black Dagger Brotherhood). It’s Blay. And he’s not bitter. Not at all. It’s for us Qhuay fans 😉
- Jaye Wells has two books on Kindle!! Red-Headed Stepchild (Sabina Kane) and Violet Tendencies (this one looks like a short story, but part of the Sabina series)
- Lara Adrian tweets “Darker After Midnight on Jan 24, 2012 plus an e-novella later this year.”
- Alexandra Ivy posts a pic of her upcoming Guardians of Eternity book Bound By Darkness
