Happy 2012, everyone! The year is off to a great start. I have my goals and resolutions written down and, dammit, I will follow through! LOL.
Right now through January 17th, we’re having a giveaway with two prizes: 1 signed set of Hoodoo books (Black Dust Mambo and Black Heart Loa), and 1 signed copy of any of my titles. The giveaway is happening simultaneously on three blogs, so 3 chances to win! You can read the character blog, which is a little chat with Kallie, Belladonna, Jackson, and a hapless newcomer to Bayou Cypres Noir, then enter the contest. Or you can just skip down to the contest entry. No promises that Kallie won’t lay a trick on you if you do. Just saying. 
Just drop by On the Broomstick or Zombie Girl Shambling or Bookgirl Knitting or all three to enter.
Also, two truly awesome reviews for Black Heart Loa came out today. My Bookish Ways, a fantastic site for urban fantasy, suspense, horror and more, and On the Broomstick, a witchy and fun blogsite.
Black Moon Mojo will be the third book in the series and, yes, I’m working on it. 
Plus a GIVEAWAY!
Grab a drink of your choice, snuggle into a comfy chair and cyber-cruise over to 13 Wicked Days of Christmas on Wicked Little Pixie where we have a fun holiday chat with Dante, Von, Heather, and Lucien. They discuss holiday traditions (or lack thereof), favorite holiday movies, worst gift, and more!
Prizes include 1 signed set of Maker’s Song books (A Rush of Wings, In the Blood, Beneath the Skin, Etched in Bone); 1 signed set of Hoodoo books (Black Dust Mambo and Black Heart Loa), and 1 signed copy of any of my books, winner’s choice!
Enjoy! And HAPPY HOLIDAYS!
Join me tomorrow at 12:30 PM EST/9:30 AM PST on Twitter and ask all those burning and/or silly questions! Just hop on Twitter at the designated time and ask me a question. In order to see the questions Pocket After Dark will ask, you need to follow them @pocketafterdark.
Everyone who asks me a question will be in the running for a signed copy of Black Heart Loa!
I’m looking forward to the chat and answering your questions! See you there!

Hey all, I’ll be discussing Black Dust Mambo and Black Heart Loa and hoodoo in general tonight LIVE on Talk Shoe with Jackie from Literary Escapism and Larissa from Larissa’s Bookish Ways. You can get all the details here.
I’ll be chatting with Jackie and Larissa at 9 PM Eastern (6 PM Pacific). Please drop by. It should be a blast!!
Layne Valin took time off from a nomad’s never-ending pursuit of the Road to drop by Patricia’s Vampire Notes to discuss what it’s like to be a Vessel of the Dead and to help celebrate the release of Black Heart Loa.
Layne Valin and an awesome giveaway open to international readers as well! Contest ends August 2nd, so drop by and enter now. And check out what Layne has to say while you’re there.
Here’s a taste:
Vessel for the Dead. Ghost ship. Spirit cabinet. Crazy
Titled “Gators Prefer Tourists in Marshmallow Suits or Don’t Feed the Gators Marshmallows”, Kallie, Belladonna, and Jackson from the Hoodoo series fill in a newcomer to town on the ins and outs of the place and all the potential dangers on Dark Faerie Tales Deadly Destination series.
Here’s a snippet:
Kallie: Seriously. Don’t. And I can’t believe I even need to say that. You’d think it’d be obvious. But every day, the Cajun tour guides take goggle-eyed tourists slathered in sunscreen and bug spray out on their swamp boats and let them snap pictures with camera and cell phones while they toss marshmallows to swimming carnivores.
Hooo-EEEE. Here, pretty Bab-BEH!
Swimming carnivores who eye the boat hopefully, wishing one of those soft, pale picture-snapping tourists would tumble right over that rail and into their bellies. Tourist nummie-nums.
Jackson: That’s ain’t true now. Them gators are beaucoup smart. They’re the ones getting free snacks, not the ones paying for the privilege to watch as those snacks are gobbled up, them.
Kallie: Oh, this is my cousin, Jackson Bonaparte. And I’m Kallie Rivière, by the way. Sorry, forgot to mention that. Welcome to Bayou Cyprés Noir—and one of our many summer BBQs. My aunt told me that you bought the Bellefontaine place down on Magnolia Road and . . .
(Note: Contest has ended.)
Yes, I know, both of my series are urban fantasy, but fortunately for me, JERR put together an urban fantasy edition of their newsletter.

Just Erotic Romance Reviews
I really enjoy BN.com’s Paranormal and Urban Fantasy online book club. It’s great to chat with other readers about the books and authors I enjoy and just about paranormal topics in general. So it’s always a thrill for me when one of my books are chosen to be a featured read.
For July, you will find:
- Feature #1 Black Heart Loa (by moi)
- Feature #2 Blood Work: An Original Hollows Graphic Novel –Kim Harrison
- Feature #3 Honeyed Words — J.A. Pitts
Please drop by, post comments, your review, and share likes and peeves with fellow readers and ask questions of the authors. It’s free to sign up, so join in on the discussion and the fun. See y’all there!

Black Heart Loa
Blood Work
The Black Heart Loa release madness continues! LOL. I always enjoy hanging out at Dark Faerie Tales, so when I was invited back, I jumped at the chance to get another giveaway going.
(It also gave me a break from trying to unravel the myriad evil plots that my cats have hatched against my computer in their never-ending quest to murder the thing that takes so much of Mom’s attention.)
The giveaway is open to international and runs through July 13th. Prizes include two signed sets of Hoodoo books: Black Dust Mambo and Black Heart Loa, and two signed copies of any of my titles–winner’s choice.
So swing by, say hey, and enter to win!
