I’ve returned from a business trip and I’m so happy to be back to my regular schedule! Do you know how hard it is to read during a business trip? You think there will be plenty of reading during downtime, but there is no downtime! Well, unless you count getting back to your room, and being so exhausted that you’re fast asleep by 10pm as “downtime”. Each night, it never failed! I’d barely get through a chapter without my eyes closing. And well… I haven’t mastered reading with my eyes closed yet Stupid sleeping!!

So I’m catching up with what our author’s are up to…let’s see what I can find!

• Jeaniene Frost interviewed Melissa Marr today.
• Shiloh Walker is hosting a contest – win a $25 gift card to the Sony Ebook Store?! Oooh wait this one’s for me! I have a Sony E-Reader!! Yay me! Ok you guys can enter too – but wait! You have to follow Shiloh on Twitter (and while you’re at it, follow me too!). Here’s how to enter (and you have until tomorrow, so go quick!) – I selected “Broken (Berkley Sensation)” as the one I want to read – what did you guys choose?
• Elisabeth Naughton gives us an excerpt of her upcoming book “Marked (Eternal Guardians)“
• Diana Rowland announces the official release date of “SECRETS OF THE DEMON” (January 4th 2011)
• Yasmine Galenorn has a new assistant. Read more here
• Alyssa Day introduces us to a new YA author/twitterer: @HeatherDbooks (Heather Davis – author of Never Cry Werewolf and The Clearing)
• Michelle Rowen interviews Charlene Teglia on her blog for “30 Days of Demons” (a contest for free books too! Wicked Hot & Claimed by the Wolf: A Shadow Guardians Novel)
• Shiloh Walker gives us an excerpt from her upcoming re-released book “No Longer Mine”.
• Leanna Renee Hieber has an amazing announcement! “It’s official. Rights sold. The Strangely Beautiful Tale of Miss Percy Parker is being adapted into a musical theatre production.”  I told you guys how good it was!! It really is! WOW!!! Congratulations Leanna! You deserve it!

Happy St. Patrick’s Day!! Happy pinching, and happy green-beer drinking…. and if you haven’t read the Fever series (by Karen Marie Moning), now’s a good time to start!!

In the meantime, here are the latest author tweets!

• Larissa Ione informs us that the release date on her upcoming book ” Sin Undone (The Demonica Series) ” has been moved up to August 24th (I’m reading Ecstasy Unveiled (Demonica, Book 4) right now, and Sin is a kick! Can’t wait to read her book!)
• Jeri Smith-Ready has blogged Logan Keeley’s St. Patrick’s Day playlist (and a little excerpt from her upcoming book Shade) and here is a link to her upcoming book signings.
• Alyssa Day is working on her “secret” project (which includes a terrifying, dangerous hero)  – sounds good!
• Richelle Mead announces on her blog that her latest book “Succubus Shadows (Georgina Kincaid, Book 5)” is early! Pre-order to get an autographed copy (see her instructions for this)! See…this is what I miss about paper books (well, that and the beautiful covers). I’m an e-book convert for sure, but I do miss some things…
• Signed books available at these book stores! Mark Henry’s “Happy Hour of the Damned” in DC and Georgetown Barnes and Noble and Shiloh Walker’s “Broken (Berkley Sensation)” at the Borders on Shelbyville Rd in Louisville, KY and Rachel Vincent left signed copies of her Shifters and Soul Screamers book in the Waldenbooks in Penn Square Mall in OKC! Go get ‘em!!
• Marjorie M Liu twitpic’d a picture of the cover of an upcoming novel “A Wild Light (Hunter Kiss, Book 3)” coming out July 27th 2010. She’s also currently in China and hoping to write about some “mermen”.
• Christina Dodd’s “In Bed with the Duke” is still on the New York Times Bestseller List! Congratulations!!

While I enjoy tweeting with fellow book enthusiasts and bloggers, I also love following my favorite paranormal authors on Twitter. It’s almost like a “backstage pass”.

From upcoming book releases, tour dates and contests to journeying with them during their writing process it’s always intriguing to see what they’re up to! Some of them ask our opinions, and even give little hints for upcoming novels, and of course, it’s always humbling to realize that they, too, have good and bad works days.

So without further ado, here is yet another one of my lists (in alphabetical order), detailing each author’s twitter account info and other web addresses:
