BLACK MAGIC SANCTION now in mass market

Today, Kim Harrison's BLACK MAGIC SANCTION is now out in mass-market!  (It's the perfect pick-me-up as you battle the after-Christmas sales.)

The eighth book of the Hollows finds Rachel Morgan facing a new challenge...her own kind. Denounced and shunned for dealing with demons and black magic, her best hope is life imprisonment—her worst, a forced lobotomy and genetic slavery. Only her enemies are strong enough to help her win her freedom. But trust comes hard when it hinges on the unscrupulous tycoon Trent Kalamack, the demon Algaliarept, and a lowlife ex-boyfriend-turned-thief.

Plus there's a preview of PALE DEMON, out 2/22/11.

You can read some of BLACK MAGIC SANCTION here.

Too much caffeine, sugar, and things-to-do have yielded the following
publishing week before Christmas (with apologies to Clement Clarke Moore, and thanks to Abby ZIdle for some key lines):

'Twas the week before Christmas, and all through New York
Not an agent was reading, not even a clause,
The editors hunched over their keyboards with care
In hopes that their in-boxes soon would be bare...
When what to their wondering eyes should appear
But a Bookscan report of a Very Good Year.
On hc! On tp! Mass market and e-book!
On Kindle! On Sony! On Itunes and now Nook!
To the top of the charts! To enjoyment for all!
Now buy away! Buy away! Read away all!

Great trailer for Tracey O'hara's DEATH'S SWEET EMBRACE

Tracey O'hara's created an awesome trailer for her next book, DEATH'S SWEET EMBRACE, out in January.

Plus, we just found out that DEATH'S SWEET EMBRACE is a Romantic Times Top Pick!!

"Primarily a supernatural police procedural that is intense, spooky, and graphic, O'hara's story boasts great characterization, which bodes well for this series. Edge-of-your-seat fun!"

Giveaway: SOUL HUNT by Margaret Ronald

Soul Hunt, the third book in The Evie Scelan Novels goes on sale December 28, 2010, and we are giving away five copies!

Evie Scelan’s in a tough spot. Without quite realizing it, she signed a contract with a ghost and made a bargain with a spirit. Now she’s got to face those consequences, and she doesn’t know where to begin. Plus she seems to now be carrying something that belongs to a legendary group of hunters, and she doesn’t know how to give it back. Or even if she wants to.

But bargains mean a lot in the undercurrent, and ultimately someone -- or something -- will show up to collect what’s owed. To protect everything she’s built, and everyone she loves, Evie will have to face who she really is, what she’s capable of, and even the very history of the city she calls home.

 If you'd like to enter to win one of five free copies of Soul Hunt please e-mail [email protected] with your name and mailing address. US addresses only.

Can't wait until December 28th? We are also giving away five free downloadable e-gallies (which expire on December 28th). Please note in your email which format (e-book or print copy) you prefer!

Finally, for those of you who have not read the earlier books in the Evie Scelan series, let us know in your email and we will include the first two books (Spiral Hunt and Wild Hunt) with the giveaway.
