USA Today Interview

We Don't Usually Sit This Close Together

We haven't posted anything new here in a while. But we just did a Skype interview with USA Today which has been posted on their romance book blog. It was a lot of fun and we talk about writing as a couple and the upcoming 3rd volume of Vampire Empire, THE KINGMAKERS

Here is the interview...

FOR THE EMPRESS!

The War Against the Vampires is Coming. Are You Prepared?

Equatorian war propaganda.

THE KINGMAKERS cover reveal Week 8

The End Is In Sight! And so are Adele and Greyfriar!

We are at the penultimate reveal of Chris McGrath's beautiful cover for The Kingmakers. Some readers who met us at the RT Booklover's Convention in Chicago were lucky enough to see the full cover.

By the way, we met a lot of fans at RT and you were all great. We were particularly taken by the affection you guys have for the series, and how you lovingly pester your friends to read it too. Word of mouth is what any author craves. We grew up as readers and we know there is nothing more satisfying than finishing a book you love, and immediately thinking of a friend who will love it too. And then talking about it once they finish it.

So thanks for talking Vampire Empire!

Here's week 8...

It's The Kingmakers Cover Reveal Friday on THURSDAY

Here it is. A little early.

We got 15 new Likes on the Facebook page as of today, so here's the new post, just like we promised. Thanks to everyone!

Week 2 gives a few more hints about what exactly is happening on Chris McGrath's beautiful cover for VAMPIRE EMPIRE Book 3.

Look closely. Is that a scary hand? What's that other thing? Is it a kitten? No, probably not.

Or is it?

And again, as with last week, if we get 15 new Likes on Vampire Empire's Facebook page, we'll reveal the next puzzle pieces earlier than next Friday.
