Note from VBC: We’re delighted to host the charming Faith Hunter on today’s blog. We love her Jane Yellowrock and Soulwood novels and are incredibly excited for the release of Circle of the Moon earlier this week. Enough of us. Let’s turn it over to Faith: There has been a lot of press about diversity lately, and there needs to be. It’s a small planet and a MUCH smaller nation and way, way too many of us,... 
Vampire Book Club is excited to participate in Berkley Bookmas and we’re hosting Christine Feehan today and she’s ready to infuse everyone with the Christmas spirit. I had a chance to hang out with Christine for a bit at NOLA StoryCon, and she’s a blast. This post just made me wish I could go to a Christmas party with her! (You’ll see why…) Berkley Bookmas is chock full of exclusive content from authors... 
Thank you so much for having me today! I’m thrilled to be here celebrating the release of my Blood & Magic series novel Branded by Fire (snag it at Amazon). (If you’re new to the series, don’t worry. Branded by Fire can be read as a standalone.) Today I thought I would give you a glimpse into my writing style and share some of my favorite quotes and small snippets from Branded by Fire. I did remove... 
The Temptation of Immortality by Tom Doyle In my American Craftsmen trilogy, what could possible tempt a magician-soldier or psychic spy? Readers of my first book discover that these powerful craftspeople come from long family lineages that have accumulated more money than any individual will get to use in their own lifetime. But that is of course the heart of the problem: some craftspeople want more... 
Note from VBC HQ: We are delighted to have author Rachel Caine on the blog today. We love pretty much everything she writes, and are thrilled we got out hot hands on a new The Great Library book earlier this week. Actually, you should check out our review of Ash and Quill. However, today isn’t about us. We’re turning VBC over to Rachel for today’s post. Hi, VBC, thanks so much for having me on again!... 
I don’t think it surprises any of the regular Vampire Book Club readers, but I have a book out today. My debut urban fantasy. It’s called Borrowed Souls, and I think you’re going to love it. When I started this blog back in 2010, I just wanted to engage with other people who loved the kinds of books I did. Those are the books with vampires (duh), shifters, magic, faeries, demons, and just about anything... 
From VBC HQ: We love both magic and mayhem, so it’s no surprise we’re excited about Marshall Ryan Maresca’s latest An Import of Intrigue (Amazon), which will hit bookstores on Nov. 1.

Read on for more from Marshall: TSOULJA An Import of Intrigue takes... 
From VBC HQ: We love Rachel Caine. (You should love her, too.) The Morganville Vampires series is celebrating its tenth anniversary, and you know we had to be a part of it. Rachel is here to talk about what makes it special, drop a few keywords for a scavenger hunt, and giveaway some sweet prizes. Morganville: The Fans It’s a funny thing. When I started writing Morganville Vampires, I really only expected...
