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...the final chapter!

Here it is!

After weeks of waiting and hinting, we are proud to unveil Chris McGrath's cover for THE KINGMAKERS: VAMPIRE EMPIRE Book 3

One of the great joys of this series for us has been seeing Chris's take on all 3 covers. We've been very fortunate to have his powerful and beautiful art represent our books.

We want to thank Lou Anders, our editor and the art director at Pyr, who knew from the start that Chris McGrath would be perfect. And also Grace M. Conti Zilsberger, who did the stunning design and layout.

So here it is.
The book will arrive in early September.

Feel free to link this page or post the art on your own pages!

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...

THE KINGMAKERS cover reveal Week 7

There's mysterious stuff going on in Chris McGrath's artwork.

We can finally see a good hint of Adele, wielding some fantastic power. But there's no real view of Greyfriar yet, although you can glimpse a hand with a sword...so he must be at her side, as usual.

Check it out. Soon it will all be revealed.
