THE CONTEST IS NOW CLOSED. THANKS!<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

As promised, we are only three short weeks away from the August 2, 2011 release of THE DARK ELITE (a trade paperback featuring FIRESPELL and HEXBOUND)<\/a>, and it’s time to celebrate!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

What’s the prize, you ask? Actually, there are many.\u00a0I’ll be giving away FIVE<\/strong><\/em> prize packs this time.<\/p>\n

Each prize pack will include:\u00a0a signed copy of HARD BITTEN; <\/strong>a signed copy of one international<\/strong> Dark Elite or Chicagoland Vampires release;\u00a0some\u00a0Dark Elite and Chicagoland Vampires swag;<\/strong> and a young adult paranormal sampler.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The YA Sampler was created just for Comic-Con, and it is sweeeet. In addition to a bit of FIRESPELL, it includes samples by lots of other authors, including Rachel Caine and Veronica Wolff (y’all are going to LOVE her)!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n
