COVER REVEAL: HUNTER BY NIGHT!

I’m super psyched to bring you guys the brand new shiny cover for Lee’s book! Book three of the Chronicles of Yavn, Hunter by Night, is due to hit shelves in early 2014! We’ve seen the push-pull stormy attraction between everyone’s favorite badass, centuries old, human-hating vampire and the vampire queen’s human best friend throughout King of Darkness and Prince of Power, and I am truly beyond psyched to finally be telling their story. And just look at those eyes you guys!!

About Hunter by Night:

A supernatural war is about to ignite a scorching hot romance

 Lee protects his vampire race, and hates humans as much as the wizard enemies he kills. Just as he’s assessing new recruits to join the vampire king’s army, all hell breaks loose. The estate’s security system fails, wizards are heading their way, and human-hating Lee is stuck protecting Alexia, the queen’s human best friend. But as dangerous obstacles force Alexia and Lee closer, an undeniable attraction is revealed, and the two must find a way to compromise.

Hunter By Night is turned in to my editor! Whew! And we have a release date! January 7, 2014 is when Lee’s story will hit shelves! Now, Prince of Power was available at some B&N stores as early as late December I’m told, so I don’t know if the same will happen with Lee, but that’s the official drop date. ALSO, it is already listed on Goodreads and Amazon! So if you’re really chomping at the bit you can add it to your TBR list or go ahead and pre-order the paperback!

You’ll notice the cover art isn’t up yet. * If you are a blogger and would like to take part in the cover reveal tour on 4/1, please email enchantresstours AT gmail DOT com with your blog name and link!

Also, a great time was had at the Liberty States Create Something Magical con in New Jersey this past weekend, minus the part where I got lost 2 miles from the con IN New Jersey, where I made many illegal U-turns. Sorry New Jersey, your jug handle thingies are confusing. Many thanks to Rayna Vause for being an excellent and professional con coordinator and to Caridad Pineiro and Stephanie Julian for helping to put together a spectacularly fun worldbuilding panel. I also had the pleasure of meeting KA Mitchell whose work I’ve always enjoyed as well as spending time with many other authors I know and love from previous events. I hope to do it again next year. Sherrilyn Kenyon is going to be next year’s keynote speaker, a huge thrill for us paranormal folks. Do come and join us next time!

Meet Lee and Alexia

So Anton and Tyra’s book, Prince of Power, is almost finished.  It’s available for pre-order already and Amazon, B&N, and BaM, and the ARC is already up on Netgalley, I think. (correction: some of my street team members said they checked and no, it’s not on Netgalley yet, I was mistaken about that one. Sorry, folks. I’m sure it’ll be up in the next couple of months, I recall about a 3-4 month lead time on King of Darkness)

The last round of edits were longer and harder than I expected. In fact, I confess this whole book has kind of been a struggle for me. I think that’s natural. King of Darkness was not my first piece of fiction, but it was my first book. My first balls-out, full-length, multiple story arc, multiple POV full-length novel. I love that story, always will, and for my first effort I’m quite proud of it even though looking back I see a thing or two I wish I’d done differently. Prince of Power, was my first sequel. Turns out sequels are hard. You’re no longer writing a book in a bubble, there’s a waterfall

effect. You have to write the book so that it will make sense to anyone coming into the series late, but also so that anybody who read the previous story will feel that you did justice to the continuing story line. Tricky. I love Tyra and Anton’s characters and I pray I did it well. I certainly tried my bestest, and I hope you love them as much as I do.

And now, on to Lee and Alexia. I’ve been doing a lot of research for this one, which means more upfront legwork, the writing itself has been slow going. Lee’s character has been a little nebulous up until now, and I finally get to crack him open and see what makes him tick.  I’m really excited about that. There are a lot of details yet to be finalized, but in the meantime I thought I’d share the inspirational photos I’ve been using for Lee and Alexia’s characters.  Enjoy!
