Note from Chelsea/VBC: We’re very excited to have Yasmine Galenorn on the blog today. Her new Indigo Court novel Night’s End releases today, and we’re pretty excited about it. She’s here to talk about happily ever after and what that could mean. We also have a giveaway of the first Indigo Court book Night Myst at the end of the post as well as a super deluxe giveaway that includes a chance at a new Kindle... 
Note from Chelsea/VBC: Today we have Glen Hirshberg on the blog. His latest novel Motherless Child offers a darker take on vampires. Don’t forget to enter to win a copy of the book here. Get a taste for his style in today’s guest post. A few months ago, Melissa Singer, my excellent editor, sent me the image that would eventually adorn the cover of the Tor edition of my new novel, Motherless Child. Right... 
Thanks to Vampire Book Club for letting me play today. Man, am I at home here! I love vampires, and I absolutely love writing dark paranormals with a sense of ‘what if’ in them. As I write this, I’m sitting in my office of our new house…with boxes around me. The computer is hooked up, as is the internet, so all is good. But we’ve been moving for a week, and it’s crazy. Last night we tried the gas range,... 
Hello, everyone and thanks for having me here! It’s hard to believe after all this time, that Monica’s trilogy is finally coming to a close. I’ve loved telling her story every step of the way and it’s surreal to sit here without her constantly in my head! For those who don’t know—my heroine, Monica, is a succubus/fallen angel hybrid. And she is in a constant struggle with what she wants vs. what she... 
There are six people that make the Execution Underground series. (Check out VBC’s review of Twilight Hunter.) Six fierce, strong, muscled and handsome people that I thought I would introduce readers to in this post: the six hunters of the Rochester division of the Execution Underground. 1. Damon Brock Occupation: Vampire Hunter and Leader of the Rochester Division of the E.U Height: 6’4” Ethnicity:... 
An Excerpt from Angela Mathers’s Diary, Discovered Along with The Pages of COVENANT These pages were found along with the same manuscript that appears to be a record of Angela Mathers’s journey into Hell to save her friend Sophia, who is also the Book of Raziel. It would appear from these records that their friendship was extremely strong, for there is no human within historically recorded documentation... 
Sex & the Single Vamp is my first foray into writing paranormal romance and I can admit that it was a terrifying and exciting experience. I loved writing this book. The world-building was a blast. When I started it, I had one question: What would the world look like if we knew that “Others”—vampires, werewolves, shifters, fey, and witches⎯really existed and had lived among us for centuries? Would we... 
There comes a time in every romance enthusiast’s experience when a character will explode into their reading life, take over their senses for page after page of pleasure, and when they reluctantly come to the point in the relationship where they have no choice but to close the cover on the last page, they lean back in their chair, replete with satisfaction, and whisper, “Day-um, that is one hot man.”... 
Note from VBC: Today we have author Leigh Evans on the blog. We’re fans of her Mystwalker series, and if you’re intro good urban fantasy with the right dose of heat, you should check it out. Her latest The Problem with Promises just released on Feb. 25. You can find it easily at Amazon. With that we’re turning it over to Leigh! When you meet a man for the first time, what do you notice first? His face?... 
If you wish the next Jane Yellowrock book was already out, today’s post should whet your appetite. Today we have Faith Hunter on the blog sharing four of the chapter titles from Black Arts, which releases Jan. 7, 2014. She gives a little commentary, but you may have to guess if it’s from Beast or Jane’s point of view. Added bonus? We’re giving away one copy of Black Arts at the end of the post. Contest is...
