I’m frequently asked: When will Demon Angel be released as an ebook?

Answer: I’m not certain. Releasing the ebook with the printed book wasn’t the standard at the time Demon Angel was printed, and Berkley’s backlist conversions haven’t caught up with it yet. It should happen, at some point. I don’t have a date, though, and I will update you as soon as I see it (because I will be very, very happy to see an ebook version, too ).

ETA: Also, Burning Up finally has a Kindle link, though it doesn’t look as if it’s for sale yet. I’ll also update this spot when the link allows you to buy it.

Haha, I love these! They are from Kim, who I met at RomCon — her own Sir Pup!

Demon Angel is apparently out of stock at Amazon, but you can still find it at:

Borders.com ~ BN.com ~ Powells.com

And

• at Books-a-Million
• at Penguin’s Bookstore
• at Rendezvous Books (Aus)

 
At this time, it isn’t in digital format. My apologies to ebook readers. Releasing the ebook with the printed book wasn’t the standard at the time Demon Angel was printed, and backlist conversions haven’t caught up with it yet.

Dear Missy,

About two and a half months ago, Maya M. of Apprentice Writer asked a few questions about DEMON ANGEL and DEMON MOON in the comments of this blog post, and Meljean said she’d get back to her on them ASAP. Meljean’s an asshole. Where are the answers?

Sincerely,
Tired of Incompetent Twits

Dear TIT,

I feel your pain. I’ve been stuck here in the closet for almost three freaking years now! She’s always saying, “I’ll get to you, I promise!” but then I look around and she’s doing belly-flops in the hall or trying to burn off her hair. She’s a total freaking loser (even worse, she’s not a virgin, which means she’s probably the sophisticated-other-woman-slut who’s going to try to steal away someone’s hero!)

But I hunted her down, shot her through the shoulders with a crossbow, pinning her to the floor, and jumped on her head until she gave it up. Here are those answers:

SPOILERS FOR DEMON ANGEL AND DEMON MOON FOLLOW!

In Google Reader, the cut doesn’t hide the rest of this post. Don’t go any farther if you don’t want to be spoiled for DEMON ANGEL and DEMON MOON.

If you’ve been wondering about the series but aren’t sure if it will be your thing — and you don’t want to spend a lot trying it out — Amazon.com has Demon Angel for a great bargain price right now. (ETA: It looks like they’ve sold out.)

Here’s a description:

For two thousand years, Lilith wrought vengeance upon the evil and the damned, gathering souls for her father’s armies Below and proving her fealty to her Underworld liege. Bound by a bargain with the devil and forbidden to feel pleasure, she draws upon her dark powers and serpentine grace to lead men into temptation. That is, until she faces her greatest temptation—Heaven’s own Sir Hugh Castleford…

Once a knight and now a Guardian, Hugh spent centuries battling demons—and the cursed, blood-drinking nosferatu. His purpose has always been to thwart the demon Lilith, even as he battles his treacherous hunger for her. But when a deadly alliance unleashes a threat to both humans and Guardians in modern-day San Francisco, angel and demon must fight together against unholy evil—and against a desire that has been too long denied…

Who will be the first to succumb?

And remember — if you don’t like the official cover, the replacement is available to print and wrap around your copy (a bit NSFW/click to enlarge).

Holly’s book group is reading Demon Angel, and

I need book discussion questions. Do you know the kind I’m referring to? Here’s an example from Random House‘s website for The Road. Since I’m feeling decidedly unable to come up with intelligent questions, I’m asking all of you for help.

So, have you got any for her — questions that came up during your reading, or that you feel might spark an interesting discussion among other readers? And are there any you’d like me to answer?

Too, too funny.

…except my stupid internet. 2007 shall be remembered by me as the Year of the Shitty Connection! (the exclamation is important.) My computer would connect everywhere but at my house (where I resorted to using dial-up from my old university account (26.4 kbps!! WTF? Do they still make them that slow?) that couldn’t actually send OUT any e-mails or download (my SMTP server mocked that connection) and even bypassing wireless and plugging the DSL modem directly into my computer didn’t work. And I have no idea what my WordPress password is, so I couldn’t access my blog from my husband’s computer. But I have fixed it, by god. I sent an e-mail to my agent, and it went through.

Everyone has probably already seen this at Dear Author, (and that’s how I found out about it), but DEMON ANGEL was in a The Courier Mail’s “Best of the Year” list.

Demon Angel, from new author Meljean Brooks, is the kind of novel you are lucky if you manage to come across maybe once a year: a thick, meaty, dig your feet in and hold on tight kind of novel with adventure, sex and an epic quality that’s rarely seen in this genre. Demon Angel is an astonishing debut, and a harbinger of great things to come. If you read one romance this year, make it this one.

As an aside, maybe I should have made my pseudonym “Brooks” instead of “Brook” (which is the last syllable of my maiden name.) It seems to flow off fingers more easily when people are typing it.

Anyway, I’m writing writing like mad, so I can’t promise daily updates, but I’ll be around a bit more now. And I can check my e-mail in a timely manner, too.

Thank you to everyone who participated in the DEMON ANGEL contest! According to random.org, the numbers are 7, 19, and 31.

Whuh? Three winners?

Well, here’s the thing: turnout was a lot better than I expected, and it seemed kind of sucky that only one person out of 41 might win, so I picked up the remainder of the copies they were carrying at my local B&N. Three out of 41 is a little better.

So congratulations to Dynamic Uno, Stacy~, and Nicole Nowlin! I’ll be sending you an e-mail!

Here’s all you have to do: tell me in the comments how you originally found this site (or use the contact form if you don’t want to de-lurk).

Because I’m assuming that a lot of people here already have a copy, remember that you can also:

1) Give it as a gift to someone you think would like it,

2) Give it as punishment to someone you think would hate it,

3) Ask me to send it as an anonymous package to someone that you love,

4) Ask me to send it as an anonymous package to someone that you don’t,

5) Ask me to sign it “[Insert Your Name Here] wants you to repent! –Meljean Brook” and send it to a politician of your choice,

6) Ask me to send it to you, but have me personalize it to your boss, put some raw egg white on a couple of pages to make them sticky (the lurrrve pages, of course, but also the page where Lilith threatens to make a demon the meat in a Hugh-and-Sir Pup sandwich) then leave it around the break room with, “[Boss's name], I really appreciate all of the “help” you gave me with certain scenes. Your experience is an inspiration! See you around the chat rooms! –Meljean Brook, aka backdoorgrrl6969″,

7) Ask me to donate it to a library, charity, or someone who hasn’t had sex in a long, long, long time and needs a thrill in any way possible.

Come up with your own, and I’ll do anything that won’t land me in jail (because I’ve got a deadline in a couple of months, and although jail time might actually serve as really great research for the WIP, it won’t be conducive to producing 2K words a day, so, yeah, no.)

I’ll leave this open until Sunday night, April 15, at midnight. Then I’ll pick a name by random drawing.
