    Pocket After Dark joint interview with author Allison Pang …

    A few weeks ago, my editor asked me if I’d be interested in participating in an online interview with Allison Pang, a fellow Pocket Books urban fantasy author. I got to meet and hang out with Allison last year at the annual Romance Writers of America conference. She’s a really cool person, so of course I said yes.

    March is urban fantasy month at Pocket After Dark, and you can see our interview here.

    Also, Allison has a new book out this month called A Sliver of Shadow. This is the second book in her Abby Sinclair series. Here’s the book description:

    War is hell. And war with hell is no fun either. 

    Just when her new life as a TouchStone — a mortal bound to help OtherFolk cross between Faery and human worlds — seems to be settling down, Abby Sinclair is left in charge when the Protectorate, Moira, leaves for the Faery Court. And when the Protectorate’s away … let’s just say things spiral out of control when a spell on Abby backfires and the Faery Queen declares the Doors between their worlds officially closed. The results are disastrous for both sides: OtherFolk trapped in the mortal world are beginning to fade, while Faery is on the brink of war with the daemons of Hell. Along with her brooding elven prince Talivar and sexy incubus Brystion, Abby ventures to the CrossRoads in an attempt to override the Queen’s magic. But nothing in this beautiful, dangerous realm will compare to the discoveries she’s making about her past, her destiny, and what she will sacrifice for those she loves.

    Hope you enjoy the interview. Happy reading!

    By a Thread released …

    4 Comments

    Today is release day for By a Thread, the sixth book in my Elemental Assassin urban fantasy series. Huzzah!

    Here’s the description of the book. Note that this does have some spoilers for Spider’s Revenge, the previous book in the series, so if you haven’t read that book yet, you may want to skip this:

    When killing people is your job, there’s no such thing as a vacation.

    Then again, how often does an assassin live long enough to enjoy her retirement? In this line of work, you either get lucky or you get dead. And since I destroyed my nemesis Mab Monroe a few weeks ago, all of Ashland’s lowlifes are gunning to make a name for themselves by taking out the lethal Spider — me, Gin Blanco. So I’m leaving behind my beloved barbecue joint and heading south with my baby sister, Bria, to cool my heels in a swanky beach town. Call it a weekend of fun in the sun. But when a powerful vampire with deadly elemental magic threatens an old friend of Bria’s, it looks like I’ll have to dig my silverstone knives out of my suitcase after all. Complicating matters further is the reappearance of Detective Donovan Caine, my old lover. But Donovan is the least of my problems. Because this time, the danger is hot on my trail, and not even my elemental Ice and Stone magic may be enough to save me from getting buried in the sand — permanently.

    I’ve been calling this one my Gin on vacation book. Basically, Gin decides to get out of Ashand for a few days, but her vacation ends up being anything but relaxing.

    By a Thread is available at Amazon, Barnes & Noble, Books-A-Million, and other booksellers. The audiobook is also available from Audible.

    As always, I hope everyone has as much fun reading the book as I did writing. Happy reading, everyone!
