My awesome sister

I've been dealing with some rather nasty kidney stones for the last 2 weeks and let's just say that I'm down for the count~ not a lot happening here. About the only good thing to come of this whole episode is that I have the chance to catch up on all the sleep I've missed since I had my little monsters, I mean, kids. Oh, and when I'm awake I get to read.

Why am I sharing this with you? Well, I had been planning on attending the Christopher Farnsworth book signing in Phoenix to celebrate the release of The President's Vampire, book 2 in the Nathanial Cade series, but I had to change my plans. *insert sad pouty here* I am in love with these books and I recommend them to anyone that asks for a good vampire book. No words can describe how bummed I was to miss this event.

Only I didn't miss out entirely because my super cool baby sister hauled her 3 kids to The Poisoned Pen in Scottsdale and got both Blood Oath and The President's Vampire signed for me! She rocks bigtime! I told her she could read them before I picked them up on my next visit. See, I'm nice too. She sent me these pictures:

So I will say it again...my sister is awesome! I'll be posting my review for TPV over at VampChix this week. And if you haven't read these books then you are seriously missing out!! 

Quick Movie Question for the week

Instead of featuring one paranormal/supernatural movie I decided to ask all you readers what books or series of books would you like to see made into a movie or television show?

How about a new CSI style show, maybe taken from the Extrasensory Agents by Leslie Parrish. Or what about turning the Arcane Society (Jayne Ann Krentz/Amanda Quick) into books? Or the Breeds by Lora Leigh (super sexy so they'd need to be on HBO or something)?

We have so many great books to choose from!!! Many of my favorites (Blood Oath, The Kensei) have already been selected, or optioned, so I have play the wait and see game.

Do you think we need Angels? Vampires? Shifters? Demons? Steampunk? Let's make this an informal poll!

Fallen is out now! And other readerly news

Michele's latest Nocturne is out now!!

Description:

Wanting to be a part of mankind, the angel fell—losing his halo, the prize that held his earthbound soul. Now Cooper must retrieve it. But wherever the Fallen walk, a Sinistari demon intent with slaying one is not far behind. Cooper knows he must be wary of this demon. But his first encounter with her leaves him curiously hungering for more...

 

To reclaim her own soul, Pyxion must kill an angel. Not just any angel, but one who's fallen to earth and taken on an irresistible, seductive human form. She never expected that she would feel an attraction for the man she hunted—or that she might need his help. When faced with a powerful mutual threat, she and Cooper form an alliance. But as the danger heightens, so does the passion...and if they give in, all could be lost.

You can get your copy of Fallen at all the usual locations, or click here to be directed to the Nocturne website for all information pertaining to Harlequin books, including current releases.

More cool stuff 

*Marta Acosta has put her Scottish romance, Wolfish in Sheep's Clothing, up on Smashwords for only 99 cents!  This story originally appeared in The Mammoth Book of Scottish Romance which came out last February. Click here to get your ebook copy. 

 *Game of Thrones is set to debut on HBO beginning April 17th and I'm really looking forward to this adaptation, and what an excellent way to pass time while waiting for True Blood to begin. I haven't finished the book yet because Flyboy is hogging it at the moment, but I plan on being ready before episode one airs. Anybody else interested in this show? 

*And since I mentioned True Blood I thought it might be nice to take a look at my favorite blonde vampire. Like I need an excuse.

*I've been slacking on the Being Human posts, extra time has not been plentiful of late, but I will put up a 2 week recap this weekend, along with some cool tech news that I've been meaning to share.

*The President's Vampire comes out on April 28th!! Only 29 days and my patient waiting will come to an end. Maybe I need one of those counter thingies to demonstrate my barely contained excitement. Sometimes I am such a dork. Seriously, I have been waiting for this book since I turned the final page in Blood Oath, which happens to be one of the best books to come out in recent memory and was actually one of my early reviews. Christopher Farnsworth has a really cool website so stop by and check it out. And read these books!!!!
