Halloween blog tour

I'm going on a blog tour in the second half of October for Halloween. These are the dates and destinations:

19th A Bibliophile’s Bookshelf
20th Fang-tastic Books
21st Night Owl Romance
22nd Romance Junkies
23rd Pop Syndicate’s Book Addict

26th Anna’s Book Blog
27th A Journey of Books
28th Fresh Fiction
29th The Book Faery

For a new extract, check out Twitter in the week of Halloween.

The celebrations will finish with a quiz, here, on the 30th.

Hope to see you there!

If you'd rather read in different languages . . .

I know that people drop into the blog from around the world so I thought you might like to know that Mr Darcy, Vampyre will soon be available in Spanish and Turkish as well as English.

There's also an audiobook coming out in February, which will be available on CD as well as MP3.

I'll be going on another blog tour towards the end of October and I'll be putting the dates up in a few days time, so I hope you'll join me then.

Pride and Prejudice, the epic sequel

I often play fantasy casting with my books, thinking who I would like to play the parts in the event of a film, but when I heard this track - Preliator by Globus - I played fantasy music for the first time, because it blew me away.

Just click here, then click on Music and select Preliator.
