Book Five of The Maker’s Song (release date March 2013–see below*)
A DESPERATE SEARCH. A DARK AND DANGEROUS JOURNEY.
AND EACH STEP COULD DESTROY EVERYONE DANTE LOVES.
ONLY ONE MORTAL WOMAN CAN SAVE HIM . . .
As Dante Baptiste’s true identity as both True Blood and Fallen ripples throughout New Orleans, he and Heather struggle for their lives against different foes, fighting their way back to each other. To free herself from her father’s treachery, Heather accepts help from an ally–and steps into even greater danger. Dante, lost to his brutal past, wavers between his own sense of self and the Bad Seed-programmed S that lurks within, between the never-ending Road and the Great Destroyer. And the danger of becoming both.
. . . UNLESS THE FALLEN REACH HIM FIRST.
Lucien searches frantically for the lovers, all too aware that time is running out. Dark forces continue to gather, eager to possess and manipulate the young vampire for their own ends. The fate of mortals, nightkind, and the Fallen pivots around Dante as he struggles to piece together his shattered psyche and gain control of his power before he rips all three worlds asunder.

*I wanted to explain why the delay in the release of the fifth Maker’s Song book, On Midnight Wings. It’ll be released the end of 2012 or the first of 2013 (I’m hoping for a January release) due to my difficulty in hitting the deadline. Back when I was writing Beneath the Skin, I broke my ankle in Orlando at RT (and had to have surgery to repair it once I was home again), then suffered a double pulmonary embolism on the flight home. I can’t tell you how fortunate I feel to have survived that! But I fell behind on my deadlines at that point as I was recovering. I also sold a second series shortly prior to this, so now I was behind in two series. I’ve been racing ever since mid-2009 to catch up. This will finally give me that opportunity.
I’m hoping On Midnight Wings will be out the end of December 2012 and that the third Hoodoo book, Black Moon Mojo, will be out July of 2013 (if not sooner). I’m also working on a third series, Sons of Darkness, that I hope will be out in 2012. In the meantime, I’ll be posting short stories about the Maker’s Song characters and advance peeks from both On Midnight Wings and Black Moon Mojo to tide folks over.
My sincere apologies for the long delay! I appreciate your continued support and I will make it worth your while. I promise! Your support means more to me than you’ll ever know! Y’all ROCK!








OH MY GOD!!!! I’M SO EXCITED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
(bangs head on desk) sooo long…need a fix
Just finished Etched in Bone. OMG, please hurry with the next one…

Write faster.
Yes, ma’am. Writing faster!
Please let me know when On Midnight Wings is coming out. I can’t wait. I am so hooked!!!
Gotta say that I love this series! I didn’t think I would ever read an alpha male as good as Barrons until I read Dante. Write faster cause I cant get enough of Dante and Heather.
I can’t wait!!! I love dante and heather!!!!
I LOVE this series, can’t wait…have had to order your other books now!
On Midnight Wing has a tentative release date of 2/28/12 I so wish it was sooner but publishers set the dates based on….well whatever they base it on probably sales and what other books are coming out. Back to Dante and Von withdraws *sigh*
I was kinda disappointed with ‘Etched in Bone’ because I felt like there were too many different bad guys chasing the good guys. I’ve been itching to get my hands on the next part of the story in hopes that some of that chaos will be dealt with, but February seems sooo far away! Can’t wait to see what happens next!
so cant wait!!! im almost done with black heart loa!! i hope itll be out soon cuz u rock!!!
I’m going through withdrawal at this point! Cannot wait for book 5! Can we get the release date bumped up, pretty please?
I already have book 4, but I’m too scared to read it. I might be left in agony if I can’t read book 5 at once.
the suspense will surely kill me XD
PS: Love you Dante
