Look! Jennifer Estep just posted the new cover for the second Elemental Assasins novel Web of Lies (May 25, 2010). The cover was created by Tony Mauro, the same cover artist for Spider's Bite, the first book in this series. Gorgeous! No cover blurb yet.
Nancy Holder posted the new cover to the second book in her Possessions Series, The Evil Within. I’m glad to see that this cover represents the feel of the storyline in the Possession books much more accurately than the first book in Possessions Series. Yes, I definitely like this cover much better, it shows the eerie and creepy atmosphere that I felt with the first book Possessions.
Available June 10, 2010
POSSESSIONS: A haunted, super-exclusive boarding school high in the mountains of Northern California…faces in mirrors, statues that move…and Lindsay, who’s had a nervous breakdown, fighting for her sanity, her life…and her soul.
Sean Cummings, author of Unseen World, just emailed to me the new book cover for his upcoming release Shade Fright, an urban fantasy novel available in March 2010 through Snowbooks. The cover has a comic book feel to it, I like the look. Here's an excerpt for your reading pleasure.
Book Blurb:
"I fell into this job quite by accident, when I discovered that I possessed the ability to see the preternatural world. There are a handful of people with similar abilities, and part of my job is to locate them, since Government Services and Infrastructure Canada like to keep track of these things. Don't ask me why."
There's a malevolent force in town, and it's quite literally Valeria Stevens' job to determine who's behind it and why they want to destroy the world, starting with Calgary.
She'll have help, in the form of her best friend (now more or less a zombie, unfortunately), a powerful dwarf troll, and the ghost of former Canadian Prime Minister William Lyon Mackensie King (but he goes by 'Bill' these days). But that's not all - Valerie has some tricks up her sleeve and, she hopes, luck on her side. Oh, and her boyfriend, Dave. He drives a dump truck.
Carrie Vaughn just posted on her blog the newest book cover for her Kitty Norville series, book 7, Kitty's House of Horrors, due to release on January 1, 2010.
I really like this cover, fits in with the previous books in this series.
REALITY BITES
Talk radio host and werewolf Kitty Norville has agreed to appear on TV's first all-supernatural reality show. She's expecting cheesy competitions and manufactured drama starring shapeshifters, vampires, and psychics. But what begins as a publicity stunt will turn into a fight for her life.
The cast members, including Kitty, arrive at the remote mountain lodge where the show is set. As soon as filming starts, violence erupts and Kitty suspects that the show is a cover for a nefarious plot. Then the cameras stop rolling, cast members start dying, and Kitty realizes she and her monster housemates are ironically the ultimate prize in a very different game. Stranded with no power, no phones, and no way to know who can be trusted, she must find a way to defeat the evil closing in . . . before it kills them all.
Angie Fox has posted the official book blurb for the third book, A Tale of Two Demon Slayers, in her Accidental Demon Slayer series, which is set to be released on January 26, 2010
Last month, I was a single preschool teacher whose greatest thrill consisted of color-coding my lesson plans. That was before I learned I was a slayer. Now, it’s up to me to face curse-hurling imps, vengeful demons, and any other supernatural uglies that crop up. And, to top it off, a hunk of a shape-shifting griffin has invited me to Greece to meet his family.
But it’s not all sun, sand, and ouzo. Someone has created a dark-magic version of me with my powers and my knowledge—and it wants to kill me and everyone I know. Of course, this evil twin doesn’t have Grandma’s gang of biker witches, a talking Jack Russell terrier, or an eccentric necromancer on its side. In the ultimate showdown for survival, may the best demon slayer win.
