Events

Sept 28: AFTERLIFE Release Day!! Woo hoo!

This is the day Afterlife will be available for purchase, although you can pre-order the book before then.

Sept. 30: Afterlife Launch Party on Bitten by Books

Stay tuned for details. We’ll have some sort of contest with cool giveaways and copies of my book.

Bite Me: Evolving Urban Fantasy Beyond the Vampire Phenomenon—

I’ll be joining some of the top names in urban fantasy, as we discuss how to evolve the urban fantasy genre beyond the vampire phenom, spurred by the mass commercial appeal of The Twilight Saga and True Blood. Authors include Tanya Huff (the Victoria Nelson novels), Mario Acevedo (the Felix Gomez detective-vampire series), Merrie Destefano (Afterlife: The Resurrection Chronicles), Jocelynn Drake (Pray for Dawn), Richard Kadrey (Sandman Slim), Lauren Kate (Fallen series), and Marjorie M. Liu (In the Dark of Dreams). Moderator: Diana Gill, executive editor at HarperCollins Publishers. Room 8
