A quick Sneak-Peek of GRAVE WITCH and the KISS of DEATH winner!

Well, you've been asking for it, and I have permission, so I am now releasing the first sneak-peek of Grave Witch. The book is still a little over five months from release date, so I only have permission to release a very short except, but I hope you enjoy this quick preview of the book. Closer to the release date I should be uploading a longer excerpt (hopefully I will get permission to release the entire first chapter). By the way, if you will be at ComicCon 2010, you will be among the first to read the first chapter as my publisher will be giving it out there. Be on the lookout!

Now, without further ado, please click here to read the excerpt. Enjoy, and check back often for more updates!

Switching gears, I'd like to now announce the winner of my recent contest. I employed a random number generator for fairness, and the winner of the signed copy of Rachel Caine's KISS of DEATH is:

Bookie, who wrote, "I found your blog through All Things Urban Fantasy. I'd like to see a post about the agency model that's being adopted by publishers. Thanks for the giveaway."

Congrats Bookie! Please send me an email at Contests(AT)Kalayna(DOT)Com with the mailing address where you'd like me to ship the book.

Thank you everyone who entered the contest and provided great topics/questions! I have a consolation prize (of sorts) for those of you who didn't win. As conference season has arrived, I've ordered a ton of bookmarks--probably more than I can ever give away at this year's cons. So if you would like bookmarks for Once Bitten, Twice Dead, and Grave Witch, email me at Contests(AT)Kalayna(DOT)Com with the subject "BOOKMARKS". Please include a mailing address were you'd like me to send the bookmarks.

Have a great Monday everyone!

GRAVE DANCE Contest and extended excerpt!

Image
Today all my news is about Grave Dance. You might have seen my earlier tweet that I received a couple of ARCs. I think now is a good time to give one of those copies away, don't you? What is up for grabs: An ARC (advanced reading copy) of Grave Dance. These are pre-pageproof copies, so there are some uncorrected mistakes and a few very minor text changes. How to win: Leave a comment telling me how you first found me and my books. I'm just curios. ^_^ Only comments left on the blogspot blog will count toward entry, so if you are reading this post somewhere else, please stop by THE BLOG . When to win: The contest will close April 30th at 11:59pm EST, so be sure to get your entry in before then. Who is eligible to win: I'm willing to ship overseas, so the contest is open  internationally . Anyone who has not already read or received a copy of Grave Dance, and who is not related to me or my critique partners is eligible to win! Okay, I think that about covers it as ...

What's Next?

A lot of people are writing to ask if Grave Destiny is the final book in the series. I'm very happy to report that no, this is not the end! Ace has contracted one final Alex Craft novel so that I can finish up the story. I'm currently writing the first draft, and while it has a tentative title, I'm not free to share it quite yet. I'll be turning in the 7th Alex Craft novel this September, so I anticipate it will be released late 2020 or early 2021 but will update you when I have more information. So, for those of you worried that this might be the end, worry not. There is more. I hope you are enjoying Grave Destiny!
