In GREAT writing news

[cornerofmadness]

My novella will be released tomorrow! I am so excited. Check it out. purchase me here (feel free to share link with anyone you'd think would like it)

The Darkest Midnight in December is the prequel to my stories Snowbound which was in the anthology Necking and A Brief Respite which was given out as Halloween candy last October. It's set in the Pittsburgh area in the 1930's, with one key difference: everyone knows demons are real and demon hunting organizations exist to keep the populace safe. Caleb, Temple, Agni and Li are all Soldiers of the Sun, risking life and limb to protect the innocent from the demons.

And I love the cover. It's by Shobana Appavu. Here it is close up.


It's gorgeous. I couldn't be happier.

To celebrate, I'm going to give away a few free review copies to my friends. The only thing I ask is for you put up a review on goodreads (and elsewhere).

Also I can make available two of my short stories Mysterious Spirit (fantasy, m/m, mild bdsm) and Crisis in Faith (vampires in Vegas) with the same request and the anthology Necking that contains the follow up story to the novella.

Come celebrate with me!

thank you. I'm just noticing the color change on the sword which somehow i didn't notice before (or the rents in Caleb's uniform)

[evil-little-dog.livejournal.com]

I'm sure if you got a full-sized version to hang on your wall, you'd notice all sorts of nifty things!

Hooray! The cover really is fantastic! It has a sort of Hardy Boys meets urban fantasy vibe.

Bravo! Seriously, bravo. Writing a novella or short story is already quite a feat in my opinion but getting it published is definitely something to be proud of! Youhou!!

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

thank you very much. I appreciate it. Btw the redhead with the Tommy Gun is the one I'll need help with from time to time if I want him to pepper in a little French into his conversations.

That is amazing, Dana. Congrats!
