Meljean Brook

Because it relies too much on having read Demon Night. Another exchange will take its place.

But I’ll post it here.

“Miss Charlie, your city is safe for one more day.” Drifter settled into the stool next to Jake. “And it seems to me I know a novice who’d also benefit from a bit of that female fashion advice.”

“Hey. Shape-shifting into Charlie’s body was your idea,” Jake reminded him. “And no offense, Charlie–but you never looked hotter.”

“I reckon she has. Classier, too.”

“But I’m so trashy in a miniskirt that you fly off two minutes after I show up? Right. You were afraid you’d kiss me.”

“More like afraid I’d start pounding on you.” Drifter shook his head when Jake lifted his ass off the stool and gave it a shake. “Well, hell. That just didn’t come out right, did it?”

Tonight, I’m finishing up Through the Veil.

Including the DEMON BOUND excerpt (if you missed it in the comments of a few posts back )

Also, there are DEMON BOUND bookmarks now (back and front pictured at left) e-mail me (or use the contact link farther left) with your address, and I’ll send them out to you on my next trip to the P.O. International is fine. If you’ve been waiting for one, they’ll be heading out on Monday.

No, no — it’s not because Blood Bound stomped Demon Angel’s ass in the BWAHA tournament (although it does create an interesting dilemma — should I vote against BB now out of spite, even though I think Briggs’ series rocks … or do I vote for it, because there’s no shame if DA was knocked out by the book that would become champion? Hmm…)

It’s because this is coming out in November, and gah gah gah it needs an end!!!! (But *happy dance* now it has a cover!)

Just writing. Since I’ve gotten a couple of e-mails wondering, I thought I should pop up and make it official: She’s alive. Aliiiiive!

And there’s no cover/excerpt yet, but the cover copy for Demon Bound is up on a page. It might be slightly tweaked before the final version, though.

Back to my hole I go.

I received an early copy of DEMON NIGHT today (my preciousssssss…)** and noticed that on the last page, there is a “coming in November” notice for my next book.

But it’s going to be DEMON BOUND, not DEMON UNBOUND as listed. It was changed between the time I gave my editor the tentative title way back in August and printing, so, whoops on me. And UNBOUND is really too long, anyway. Anything over five letters will throw the look of the title off.

So, if you do look for a Meljean Brook title in November, please don’t try to find DEMON UNBOUND. But do look for DEMON BOUND, because it’s going to be amazing, awesome, and fun (and probably long).

**Question: is “my precioussssss…” done? Like, if I use it, am I automatically OMG so totally last year?
