Free lurve
Sherrilyn Kenyon wrote the first paranormal romance I ever read, the one that brought me back to romance after a years-long hiatus, the one that made me say, “Holy crap, I didn’t know you could do that in a romance novel, but now that I do, I know what I should be writing.” While a couple of the Dark-Hunter books and associated spinoffs haven’t rung my bell that resoundingly, she’s created a cast of characters with an ongoing epic that are autobuys for me.
For lurve of Acheron, I’m going to renege upon my 20-year vow to never buy a hardcover romance novel.
In prep for the August 5 release of Acheron, St. Martin’s is offering up an e-version of Seize the Night for free (in a variety of formats—instructions can be found at the link). Offer valid through July 3, 2008.
You may have heard I’m just slightly herocentric.

Nonetheless, Seize the Night has one of those rare heroines who demanded her share of my attention. I still crack up every time I hear “Tabby.” She kills vampires. She owns a naughty novelty shop. And she’s paired up with the prissiest, uptightest, and stuckupest of the red-headed cow’s minions, who spends a great deal of time flummoxed that he finds anything about this tacky broad to be appealing.
Oh, and it’s also the book in which everything went to shit with Nick (all that misdirected rage and refusal to listen to reason for the last six books or so? uncool, dude), which I imagine will warrant at least a line or two in Ash’s book…

Well… well… I live two subdivisions away from the county jail and the local drug dealer’s association.

Lol.
We’ve never met, though. :)
The wierd thing is, I live in a town just south of Nashville that is pretty small - like 15,000 people. Sherrilyn Kenyon lives here (to make the coincidence wierder, my real first name is Cherilyn) and Celeste Bradley - pubbed historical romance author - lived here until last year. I knew Celeste and I keep waiting to run into Sherrilyn at the local grocery store…
I need a good author pick-up line. Got any suggestions?

“Hey, you were a writing inspiration to my bosom pal Kerry. You should put her short, curvy, smart-mouthed, goofy, yet kickass self in one of your books. Doesn’t even have to be a starring role, but if she could kick Nick in the nads and horribly disfigure Artemis in that book, that’d be great. Kthxbai.”
Oh, did you want something that wouldn’t make you sound like a crazy stalker? In that case, you’re asking the wrong person…
