Upcoming 2007 fantasy

Checking out the Roc/Ace site this morning I noticed a book that looked interesting that I hadn't heard anything about.

Magic Bites by Ilona Andrews



Blurb from Penguin:

Mercenary Kate Daniels cleans up urban problems of a paranormal kind. But her latest prey, a pack of undead warriors, presents her greatest challenge.

Comes out March 27th.

Also see from Amazon:

Lorna Freeman's newest comes out in October. It's called Shadows Past.

Poltergeist by Kat Richardson, sequel to Greywalker that was so good. Comes out Aug.

Blood Drive by Jeanne C. Stein end of July

Wraith by Phaedra Weldon looks to be the first book in a new series coming out in July.



Key to Conflict by Talia Gryphon



Blurb from BAMM:

Meet Gillian Key--a paramortal psychologist who can treat the mental distress of nonhumans. And she's a Marine Special Forces operative who can get physical with them when the situation calls for it. Gillian's two worlds collide when she travels to the Carpathian Mountains in Romania to counsel a dangerously attractive local master vampire--and becomes embroiled in a brewing turf war with the legendary Dracula.

And though the website that popped up for Gryphon wasn't there, I did find this video on YouTube. It's pretty short, but definitely makes the book look interesting:



Magic Lost, Trouble Found by Lisa Shearin



Blurb from Shearin's site:

A girl with attitude. An all-powerful amulet.
This could only mean trouble.

My name is Raine Benares. I'm a seeker. The people who hire me are usually happy when I find things. But some things are better left unfound...

Raine is a sorceress of moderate powers, from an extended family of smugglers and thieves. With a mix of street smarts and magic spells, she can usually take care of herself. But when her friend Quentin, a not-quite-reformed thief, steals an amulet from the home of a powerful necromancer, Raine finds herself wrapped up in more trouble than she cares for. She likes attention as much as the next girl, but having an army of militant goblins hunting her down is not her idea of a good time. The amulet they're after holds limitless power, derived from an ancient, soul-stealing stone. And when Raine takes possession of the item, it takes possession of her.

Now her moderate powers are increasing beyond anything she could imagine—but is the resumé enhancement worth her soul?

Well, that's all for now. Need to head to work soon. But I think I'll definitely be looking out for these.

Note: I have no idea what happened with this post. I'd done it a week ago and thought I'd put it up, but apparently not!!

Wednesday wonders

Ahhh....good day today. Had a dentist appt in the morning. I love my dentist and the assistants there. They are so sweet and nice and wonderful and make my teeth squeaky clean. And since there was good news in not having any work done, I decided to treat myself to some books and kinda headed to Walmart in hopes that maybe they released some of next months books early. Hey, a girl can hope, right?

Anyways, no books, but I did end up buying some clothing. I really don't like to shop at Walmart, but I was having trouble finding some button-down shirts that weren't too long, yet still fit me in the chest. So I bought some shirts and some khakis there. And then headed off to work.

Good time there, too. Met a very nice woman named Jacquie Greenfield who has a western romance coming out this next year from Five Star. Yes, a western!! I'm definitely going to be keeping an eye out for more information about it.

And....Disturbed concert tomorrow night!!!!!!! Yay! And I hope to bring my camera, so there may be pictures.

And Nick did the sweetest thing ever tonight. Waiting on my keyboard was a cute card that said "Remember, I'm always right behind you." Awww....isn't he sweet? I think he's one reason I enjoy reading romance as I get my own wonderful hero and love to read about others being as happy.

But now I need to head off to bed as it's getting late and I work a morning shift tomorrow so I get off the evening for the concert. Night all!
