I’ve just seen the cover art for the next-next (9th) Morganville Vampires book – and it is so gorgeous, I just had to share! GHOST TOWN by Rachel Caine is going to be released in Hardcover in the US on November 2nd, 2010 – which is so exciting as I have been longing for hardcover versions of this series for a while! I will have to order it from there!
The fragile peace between humans and vampires in Morganville is in trouble, and when Claire takes drastic action, she’s put under serious pressure to re-establish the barriers that keep the town residents inside, and wipe the memories of those who leave. But working with her half-crazy vampire boss Myrnin means that things don’t always turn out as planned … and as the people of Morganville begin acting strangely, Claire and her friends must solve the mystery and try to put things right. But one by one, her allies are turning on her … even the ones she trusts most.
*squee* I can’t wait to see what the UK publishers come up with!
ETA: Also, if you are a Rachel Caine fan living in the States, make sure to check out the Smart Chicks Kick It Tour – which features lots of AMAZING YA Paranormal authors who are visiting 12 US Cities in September. I wish they could add London to their list, but alas. Other authors on the tour include Kelley Armstrong, Melissa Marr, Alyson Noel, Holly Black, Cassandra Clare, Rachel Vincent, Sarah Rees Brennan, Becca Fitzpatrick, Melissa de la Cruz, Carrie Ryan and more!

The covers for the seventh (!) House of Night book were released this week, and I just had to share. Considering how much I disliked both the UK and US covers of Tempted, this makes for a nice change!
UK / US
Burned: House of Night Series Book 7 by P.C. and Kristin Cast
To be Published: April 27th 2010 by ATOM
Seeing them side by side, I am not sure which I prefer. Probably the US one… but don’t hold me to that! Either way, both are much nicer than the previous book!
I am kinda surprised that they set the release date so soon for this book, even though the Casts only finished it on Monday! Seems a bit presumptuous… but I guess this series is popular enough for them to want to get them on overdrive.
On a personal note, I am kinda surprised that I actually have stuck through with this series – considering how I don’t actually like the writing all that much. But, well, I just want to find out how everything bloody well ends!

I have purchased two books over the past few weeks that have something in common. It won’t take you too many guesses to work out what!
Is it the exact same stock photo, or did they just use very, very similar models? Who knows. But it is worth noting that that is the UK cover for Ivy – the US one is totally different. Why change the book cover to make it look identical to another? Yet another publishing mystery never to be resolved!

As a highschooler, coffee was an adult thing. Something that you drink when you are old and have no energy. A drink for those who are so desperate for caffeine they ignore the horrible taste. Going to uni brought me over to the “dark side” and far too much of my work was done with a latte in hand.
And even though I am not long out of my teens, it seems things have changed. Kids line up at Starbucks after school for their mochas, and can’t get by without a morning latte. Not sure if that is good or bad, but it has affected the YA genre. Has anyone else picked up on the coffee-infused stories and covers that have been published lately? Well, if not, here’s a shot.
