Magic Bleeds

Book #4 in Kate Daniels  Series

Available 05/25/2010

MAGIC BLEEDS is one of those pivotal books that can either make or break the series.  Vital changes take place.  Kate’s heritage comes to light and the effect on her life is catastrophic. She loses everything. It’s probably one of the grimmer books we’ve written, but it’s also the most relationship heavy.

The Kate series moves forward with each book. The relationship between Kate and Curran has to go somewhere as well. This is not a minor plot point that could’ve been negotiated in a couple of pages and shoved aside. This was a major issue that had to have its own book.  Kate’s ancestry bites her in the ass, Curran’s history emerges, and they have to pick fight or flight.  Eventually all prospective couples reach the point of no return: that spot in the relationship when they have to decide if they are together or not. This is the book where Kate and Curran decide.  They both know that whichever way they go, there is no turning back.

The enemy Kate faces in this book is the most powerful person we’ve written to date.  When she shattered the blood sword, she knew there would be consequences.  Well, the consequences arrive and smash her life to pieces.

But no matter how grim, MAGIC BLEEDS ends with hope. It ties the plot threads raised in the previous three books, clears the field, and weaves new ones, so the characters can move on to new and exciting adventures.

Book 2 in the Edge Series

Available late October 2010

Cerise Mar and her unruly clan are cash poor but land rich, claiming a large swathe of the Mire, the Edge swamplands between the state of Louisiana and the Weird. When her parents vanish, her clan’s long-time rivals are suspect number one.

But all is not as it seems. Two nations of the Weird are waging a cold war fought by feint and espionage, and their conflict is about to spill over into the Edge—and Cerise’s life . William, a changeling soldier who left behind the politics of the Weird, has been forced back into service to track down a rival nation’s spymaster.

When William’s and Cerise’s missions lead them to cross paths, sparks fly—but they’ll have to work together if they want to succeed…and survive.

I wanted to talk a little bit about our new series, which releases in the end of September of this year. It’s a very odd story.  I’ve written the first draft in approximately two months in between Kate books and I loved working on it.  The first hint of trouble came when Gordon edited it and took to calling it “rustic fantasy” as opposed to urban fantasy.

When I showed to our agent, she loved it, but she wasn’t quite sure what it was.  Then our editor at Ace, Anne Sowards, looked at it.  She called back next day saying that she wasn’t quite sure what it was, but she wanted to buy it.  The art department was excited about the idea (and made the fantastic cover, which I love to death and it’s my precious) but they also weren’t quite sure how to classify it.

A few days ago a prominent reviewer emailed me to say that she enjoyed the book a great deal but wasn’t sure how to classify it either.

:drumroll:

I now present the unclassifiable ON THE EDGE.  It’s like Twinkies.  Everybody likes it, nobody is 100% sure what it is.
