Jade Carson used to be one of the best of the vampire assassins; now she is what she used to hunt and more. She is also half goddess due to a god’s curiosity about the eroticism of a vampire’s bite. She is protected by an indestructible sword.
Aeron Blake is a Dark Elf, and one of the most feared assassins ever. He needs Jade’s help to find the Chameleon, a creature who can shift into anything. The creature has attacked Aeron’s partner and kidnapped his boss’s daughter.
The Chameleon is terrorizing the city and has set his sights on Jade. The half vampire/half goddess has untested and possibly limitless powers and he wants a taste. Aeron is charged with destroying the creature and he needs Jade’s help. The chemistry between the two is explosive and immediate.
I really loved this story. The starting scene is exciting and violent, and the rest of the story is fascinating. Jade thinks she is a loner, but she collects a large and interesting assortment of friends and dependents as the story progresses. The settings are wonderful, moving from a gritty urban environment to the wildly exotic land of the fae. The author has left a few loose ends, which I am hoping will lead to at least one more book in what looks to be an involving and exciting series.

New Release: the Chameleon's Bite

 The Chameleon's Bite

Blurb:

All part goddess, part vampire Jade Carver wants is to slay the bad guys. Having an indestructible sword should help. If only it would show up when she wants it to. Being able to see the bad guy coming would be even better.
A deadly Chameleon terrorises the city.
Capable of not only blending into its surrounding – it becomes its surroundings. The Chameleon has noticed Jade and it wants a taste of her.

As if things aren’t bad enough, Jade Carver’s love life is about to get a whole lot worse. Jade soon discovers the man she falls in love with, Dark Elf assassin, Aeron Blake, has been sent to kill her.

Jade might find love in the arms of the mysterious elf. All she has to do it survive his deadly elf blades first.

New Contracts

Well, I have some good news. MuseItUp Publishing have offered me a contract for Summoning Darkness. This is a dramatic urban fantasy story featuring gypsy magic, werewolves, a greek goddess, a mad scientist and much more. It's scheduled for release August 2011. That's about the time my first novel, Blood Talisman goes to print!

Also, my horror flash, Kiss the Bride, was accepted by Pill Hill Press for inclusion in one of their horror anthos. I'm using my maiden name, Erika Millard, for this because it's horror and very different from my previously pubbed writing. I plan to write more horror and hope (cross fingers tight) to get some published one day! My dad loved horror and sci fi, so I think it would be fitting to use his sirname.

What else? Haven't heard back about Rise Above, the horror short I subbed to the Zombie Feed, an imprint of Apex. They state that anyone who hasn't recieved a rejection is being held for a final round of judging. So, I'm in 'zombie holding'. I would love to be accepted, but don't dare to hope. I can imagine there are hundreds of submissions by established zombie authors. Still, no news is good news :)
