    I just read River Marked by Patricia Briggs, and after I finished my latest deadlines I’ll be reading Blackout by Rob Thurman and Eternal Rider by Larissa Ione.

    I appreciate the mention of my new YA title, After Midnight. Online retailers have been shipping it for about two weeks now, and it’s just starting to hit the shelves in stores.

    This week I also released a 168 page e-book, Dark of Heart, that has an original novella set in the same universe as After Midnight. It’s free for everyone on the planet, so if your readers are interested in test-driving my YA, they can read it online or download it here://docs.google.com/viewer?a=v&pid=explorer&chrome=true&srcid=0BzylBQC3SyqoZTM5OWZjNjMtMWM2NS00ZDNjLTk4ZWQtOWU1ZTA2ZGY4ZjY3&hl=en
