WOOT!Today is the B-I-G day! The last book in Deidre's Gods of Midnight series, <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Red-Mortal-Gods-Midnight-Novel/dp/0451232992/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1295380275&sr=1-1">RED MORTAL</a>, is out, and finally the epic love story of King Leonidas and Daphne is being told! Here are the deets: <br />
<br />
<em><blockquote><em>With quiet, unyielding strength, King Leonidas has long led his fellow immortal warriors in battle against dark forces. But when Daphne, Oracle of Delphi, confesses to having loved him from afar, Leonidas soon finds his stoic shell breaking away as he becomes enraptured with the spritely beauty.</em></blockquote><br />
<blockquote><em>For centuries, Daphne has yearned to experience the simmering passion locked within Leonidas’s heart. But just as their love begins to ignite, Daphne’s half brother Ares strips Leonidas of his immortality, causing him to age at an alarming rate. Now it will be only a matter of time before Leonidas is taken from her—unless they can find a way to challenge Ares together before Leonidas meets his mortal end...and the lovers are separated for eternity.</em></blockquote></em><br />

Contributors include Jim Butcher, Illona Andrews, Carrie Vaughn, Rachel Caine, Vicki Petterrson, Shannon K. Bucther, P.N. Elrod, Lilith Saintcrow and last (but certainly not least!), Deidre Knight!</span><br /><div><span style="font-family:arial;"></span></div><br /><div><span style="font-family:arial;"><strong>Here's the scoop on DARK AND STORMY KNIGHTS from Jessica Moyer at Booklist:</strong> </span></div><br /><div><span style="font-family:arial;">Elrod has collected nine original stories by the modern masters of urban fantasy; an anthology that will both thrill fans and serve as a nice introduction to an increasingly popular genre. Several of the stories are set in the authors' series worlds but feature minor characters; Jim Butcher's “Even Hand,” for example, uses the landscape of the Dresden Files series but focuses on Chicago Mob boss Johnny Marcone. Carrie Vaughn's “God's Creatures” features Cormac, who must track down a rogue werewolf. All the stories feature knights of one kind or another, but none is the conventional knight of history. The entire collection is strong, but the two highlights are Rachel Caine's “Even a Rabbit Will Bite,” about two old foes, and Shannon Butcher's “The Beacon,” in which a reluctant hunter must decide the fate of a small girl. With some of the biggest names in urban fantasy contributing stories, this anthology will be an instant hit with fans. </span></div><br /><div><strong><span style="font-family:arial;">Deidre's story in the anthology:</span></strong></div><div><br /><span style="font-family:arial;">In "Beknighted," a talented puzzle maker's dreams are haunted by visions of a captive knight. Anna's incessant attempts to solve the intricate puzzle required to free him fail miserably – until a dark patron brings her the key to unlocking her knight's supernatural prison. But freedom comes with a high price, and the cost may be both the lives of Anna and the nameless man who mesmerized her from the shadowy confines of a dream. </span></div>Jia Gayleshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08969346108646249710noreply@blogger.com22tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11981147.post-12918615544182491142010-07-06T12:02:00.007-04:002010-07-06T14:16:31.727-04:00Love is Timeless Contest Winners!<span style="font-family:arial;">First off, thanks to everyone who entered the Love is Timeless Contest!

That can get a little confusing when you're trying to sort out what book comes in what order, so I'm hear to keep you from seeing red. Hopefully you'll just read RED. ;-) Let's start with the latest installment... </span><div><br /><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_3vaC8TKIMzo/TAgB0wQQw4I/AAAAAAAABuI/lMK45ogmzCA/s1600/reddemon_web.jpg"></a><strong><span style="color:#ff0000;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_3vaC8TKIMzo/TAgCi6dqb1I/AAAAAAAABuQ/2ZMq6ZbIMiE/s1600/reddemon_web.jpg"><span style="font-family:arial;"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5478631745528688466" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 124px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 200px" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_3vaC8TKIMzo/TAgCi6dqb1I/AAAAAAAABuQ/2ZMq6ZbIMiE/s200/reddemon_web.jpg" border="0" /></span></a><span style="font-family:arial;">Book Three</span></span></strong><span style="font-family:arial;"> -- </span><a href="http://www.borders.com/online/store/TitleDetail?sku=0451230450"><span style="font-family:arial;">RED DEMON</span></a><span style="font-family:arial;"> was released on June 1st to much fanfare (see fireworks below and think BIGGER)! This book focuses on Aristos, a troubled Spartan who's been holding the pain of loosing the love of his life in an apparent suicide more than a century ago. A seemingly impossible message from the otherside brings news from his true love, Juliana Tiades. Together they must figure out how to outwit an dangerous force that threatens to destroy their union once and for all. </span></div><div><span style="font-family:Arial;"></span> </div><div><span style="font-family:Arial;"></span> </div><div><span style="font-family:Arial;"></span></div><div><span style="font-family:Arial;"></span></div><div><span style="font-family:arial;"></span></div><div><span style="font-family:arial;"><strong><span style="color:#ff0000;">*Intermission*</span></strong> (aka the digital only novella RED BLOODED) - Released in May, this novella's unique hero is a blinded Iraq vet turned vampire hunter.

This steamy novella is meant as a bonus read for fans to enjoy alongside RED DEMON's release. To be clear, it's a stand-alone story and does not have to be read before partaking in RED DEMON, but what could be wrong with adding a little more Gods of Midnight to your life? Absolutely nothing. ;-)</span></div><div><span style="font-family:Arial;"></span> </div><div><span style="font-family:Arial;"></span> </div><div><span style="font-family:Arial;"></span> </div><div><span style="font-family:Arial;"></span></div><div><span style="font-family:Arial;"></span></div><div><span style="font-family:arial;"></span></div><div><span style="font-family:arial;"><strong><span style="color:#ff0000;">Book Two</span></strong> - RED FIRE debut in June 2009.

And now a medium brings him a message from the other side—a romantic message Ari doesn’t want to hear…<br /><br />A century ago, the love of Ari’s immortal life, Julianna Tiades, drowned herself in the Savannah River—after she learned about Ari’s shapeshifting abilities. Desperate to reveal the truth about her death, Julianna makes a bargain with a Djinn demon, who offers to give her physical form. But as Julianna and Ari are reunited in passion, the debt must be paid—in souls and spirits… </span></div><br /><br /><span style="font-family:arial;"></span><br /><br /><br /><span style="font-family:arial;"></span><br /><span style="font-family:arial;"></span><br /><span style="font-family:arial;"></span><br /><span style="font-family:arial;"></span><br /><br /></div>Jia Gayleshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08969346108646249710noreply@blogger.com11tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11981147.post-37078530195036245812010-05-19T10:22:00.009-04:002010-06-03T14:53:58.274-04:00Bryan Anderson: A Real Life Hero<span style="color:#000000;"><span style="font-family:arial;">UPDATE: The winner of the Real Life Hero Contest is traveler!!!!

In 2005, Bryan lost three of this limbs in a IED (Improvised Explosive Device) attack. The soldier now has a flourishing public speaking career and has appeared on television and in the movies. Currently, he's working on writing a book about his experience.<br /></span><br /><br /></span><div align="justify"><span style="font-family:arial;"><span style="color:#000000;"><em><span style="font-size:85%;"><strong>**Don’t forget to check out the Real Life Hero Contest!

But, with the turn of the final page, reality comes calling. Though the castle in the Scottish highlands might not have translated to suburbia and shapeshifters aren’t shopping at the local Wal-mart, there is something both the world of romance and the real world possess – heroes. One of those real life heroes is Iraq War veteran </span><a href="http://www.andersonactive.com/"><span style="color:#000000;">Bryan Anderson</span></a><span style="color:#000000;">, a triple amputee and Purple Heart recipient who is working on adding the title of “author” to his resume.<br /><br /></span><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_3vaC8TKIMzo/S_Gh0iBpW4I/AAAAAAAABsM/LN80bXr8-2k/s1600/bryan2.gif"></a><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_3vaC8TKIMzo/S_GiJuvDfCI/AAAAAAAABs0/f34zvSgZakI/s1600/bryan2.gif"><span style="color:#000000;"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5472333310279777314" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 155px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 200px" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_3vaC8TKIMzo/S_GiJuvDfCI/AAAAAAAABs0/f34zvSgZakI/s200/bryan2.gif" border="0" /></span></a><span style="color:#000000;">Bryan’s story begins in his hometown of Rolling Meadows, Ill. As a teenager, he was a gymnast competing at the state level and excelled academically. He went on to work as Ground Crew Chief at O’Hare airport for American Airlines before enlisting in the Army. It was during his second tour of duty in October 2005 that an IED (Improvised Explosive Device) caused a catastrophic injury, severing both his legs and left hand.<br /><br />After returning from Iraq, the soldier spent 13 months undergoing more than 40 surgeries. As he recovered, his mind was on more than just figuring out how to walk again. “I wanted to figure out what I could and could not do, and in doing that – I figured out there wasn’t a whole heck of a lot that I can’t do,” he says. “I mean, I can still climb trees if I want to.”<br /><br />True to his word, Bryan can still climb trees along with a whole other host of activities many full-bodied people—as Bryan calls them—find daunting, including; snowboarding, wakeboarding, driving race cars, rock climbing and riding a bicycle 110 miles using hand cranks. </span></span></div><span style="font-family:arial;"><div align="justify"><br /><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_3vaC8TKIMzo/S_GiJVjFP9I/AAAAAAAABsk/Ml1vRi16bVk/s1600/bryan4.jpg"></a><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_3vaC8TKIMzo/S_GiJfB5I4I/AAAAAAAABss/TkPQx4Pr_J4/s1600/bryan3.jpg"><span style="color:#000000;"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5472333306063823746" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 144px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 163px" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_3vaC8TKIMzo/S_GiJfB5I4I/AAAAAAAABss/TkPQx4Pr_J4/s200/bryan3.jpg" border="0" /></span></a><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_3vaC8TKIMzo/S_GiJLFNpWI/AAAAAAAABsc/ZRNetXGwzXk/s1600/bryan5.jpg"><span style="color:#000000;"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5472333300709041506" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 200px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 164px" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_3vaC8TKIMzo/S_GiJLFNpWI/AAAAAAAABsc/ZRNetXGwzXk/s200/bryan5.jpg" border="0" /></span></a><span style="color:#000000;"><br /></span></div></span><div align="justify"><span style="font-family:arial;color:#000000;"></span></div><div align="justify"><span style="font-family:arial;color:#000000;"></span></div><div align="justify"><span style="font-family:arial;color:#000000;"></span></div><div align="justify"><span style="font-family:arial;color:#000000;"></span></div><div align="justify"><span style="font-family:arial;color:#000000;"></span></div><div align="justify"><span style="font-family:arial;color:#000000;"></span></div><div align="justify"><span style="font-family:arial;color:#000000;"></span></div><div align="justify"><span style="font-family:arial;color:#000000;"></span></div><div align="justify"><span style="font-family:arial;color:#000000;"></span></div><div align="justify"><span style="font-family:arial;color:#000000;"></span></div><div align="justify"><span style="color:#000000;"></span></div><div align="justify"><span style="font-family:arial;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_3vaC8TKIMzo/S_Gh0yCaqAI/AAAAAAAABsU/N00nSHhg7UQ/s1600/bryan1.jpg"><span style="color:#000000;"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5472332950389041154" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 226px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 320px" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_3vaC8TKIMzo/S_Gh0yCaqAI/AAAAAAAABsU/N00nSHhg7UQ/s320/bryan1.jpg" border="0" /></span></a><span style="color:#000000;">As the national spokesman for Quantum Rehab, a division of </span><a href="http://www.pridemobility.com/"><span style="color:#000000;">Pride Mobility Corp</span></a><span style="color:#000000;">., Bryan travels the country to deliver his message of perseverance and self determination. Last year, Bryan made over 35 appearances at various rehab centers and events. He’s also managed to add a budding acting career to his busy schedule. His credits include the <em>CSI: NY</em> episode, “DOA for a DAY,” and an appearance in the Golden Globe award-winning film, <em>The Wrestler</em>. He was also immortalized in his own Marvel comic book, featured in <em>Esquire Magazine</em> twice, including a cover story, and was one of ten soldiers profiled on the HBO special, <em><a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8j08fvUk67U">Alive Day Memories: Home from Iraq</a></em>.<br /><br />Bryan relishes life, and greets each new day as a gift, and a challenge. He receives emails from people all over the world who have been moved by his story. It’s his desire to continue to inspire people to live to their fullest potential that led him to finally putting his story in printed form. “I hope that the kind of message [I send] is just because something happens doesn’t mean life is over,” he says. “I hope by [giving my all] that people can take something from that and apply it to their own life.”<br /><br />So, though Bryan doesn’t grow fangs and avoid sunlight at all costs, he does have something important in common with his romance hero counterparts. He makes the impossible possible. He pledged to safeguard his country, and in carrying out that promise survived and thrived through an injury that would have easily devastated many for life. Though we will always love our Alpha heroes and hold fast to our dog-eared Quinns, Showalters, Roberts, Wards and Coles – a real life hero like Bryan shows us how to create magic in our everyday lives.<br /><br /><strong>Message from TKA: </strong>We are sponsoring a “Real Life Hero” contest on both this blog and </span><a href="http://knightagency.blogspot.com/"><span style="color:#000000;">TKA's blog</span></a><span style="color:#000000;">.
