A. J. Menden’s Website is GO!

Jes Battis has received an author copy (or author copies???) of his first novel, Night Child (27th May 2008). Visit his blog to see it posing with resident regal cat Guinevere. (She seems to tolerate it, which is good news.)

A. J. Menden’s website is now open. It even includes the copy for her first novel, Phenomenal Girl 5 (8th November 2008):

Lainey Livingston has just been made a member of the Elite Hands of Justice, the world’s premiere cadre of superheroes. Her work with the Red Knights and the Power Squad was impressive; her apprehension stats are above normal, and her great strength and ability to fly are equally remarkable. But no one gets a free pass to active duty, and Lainey’s next test is going to be her hardest. She’s to train with the Reincarnist.

Robert Elliot, the Reincarnist. A magician who has lived multiple lifetimes, he’s the smartest man in the world — and Lainey’s last obstacle. He was personally responsible for seeing Pushstar wash out. But his eyes are the softest, kindest that Lainey has ever seen, and he’s just the sort to knock her for a loop. Lesson #1: Romantic entanglements among crime fighters are super exploitable, and falling in love with a man who “can’t die” is like waving a red flag at a bull. Especially not when the most fiendish plot ever is about to break over Megalopolis like a wave of fire.

If you shop at Chapters (a Canadian bookseller), you can pre-order the book here.

Devon Monk’s Magic to the Bone (November 2008) cover has been updated with blurbs from Patricia Briggs and Rachel Vincent.
