Mary Janice Davidson

Ms Davidson has a way with words. HILARIOUS words!! Her Undead series is a real gem! The next Undead book, "UNDEAD AND UNPOPULAR" will be released JUNE 6, 2006. Psst...! Word has it from Ms. Davidson's website is that she is shopping around for somehow to make a movie of the Undead series! More later!

Kim Harrison

It's always so exciting to see a new author that will be adding so much
to this genre or literature. Kim Harrison is the new shining star for
me. Her first novel, "DEAD WITCH WALKING", was amazing! Rachel Morgan is
another kick-ass female that is rising to the status of Anita Blake,
Joanne Bladwin, and Elena Matthews quite quickly! The next Hollows
novel, "A FISTFULL OF CHARMS", will be released on JULY 1, 2006. Also, Ms.
Harrison has an anthology, "DATES FROM HELL", with some other great
authors that is in bookstores now! Ms. Harrison's story is REALLY good. GO GET IT!

'Dates From Hell'

Simon R. Green

I started reading the Nightside novels by Simon R. Green a couple of
weeks ago and I'm devouring them! They're small little snippets of the
adventures of John Taylor and enough to satisfy you without being 500
pages long. The sixth book is entitled "SHARPER THAN A SERPENT'S TOOTH"
and has been released. It was AMAZING!! I'm such a huge fan of this series. The next Nightside book, "AND FOLLOW DARKNESS LIKE A DREAM", has no set release date as of yet. Hopefully soon! If you like the Harry Dresden novels, you'll love John Taylor and his cases! Harry and John should
definitely go into business together!
