Today is the B-I-G day! The last book in Deidre's Gods of Midnight series, RED MORTAL, is out, and finally the epic love story of King Leonidas and Daphne is being told! Here are the deets:
With quiet, unyielding strength, King Leonidas has long led his fellow immortal warriors in battle against dark forces. But when Daphne, Oracle of Delphi, confesses to having loved him from afar, Leonidas soon finds his stoic shell breaking away as he becomes enraptured with the spritely beauty.
For centuries, Daphne has yearned to experience the simmering passion locked within Leonidas’s heart. But just as their love begins to ignite, Daphne’s half brother Ares strips Leonidas of his immortality, causing him to age at an alarming rate. Now it will be only a matter of time before Leonidas is taken from her—unless they can find a way to challenge Ares together before Leonidas meets his mortal end...and the lovers are separated for eternity.
To celebrate the release of RED MORTAL, Deidre has partnered with fellow NAL author Elle Jasper to give away the trip of a lifetime. All you have to do is tell Deidre and Elle why you deserve a romantic getaway and you could win 2 nights at the enchanting Lighthouse Inn on Tybee Island, Ga., near historic Savannah, a $500 travel voucher, and dinner for two at legendary Wiley's Championship BBQ.

Next year, from August 8th to August 13th, Deidre plans to sail the high seas during the Pocono LeHigh Romance Writers' Retreat at Sea event. She will be a workshop speaker, so its a wonderful chance to get advice from a veteran literary agent and author on your writing career. This is the perfect opp to shut out the outside world and get down the business of writing! If you're interested, check out the event blurb and website:
Did you promise yourself that you’d finish a book by the end of the year and you haven’t come close? Or are you starting a new project and you need a kick in the pants to begin? The PLRW Writer’s retreat is a great way to separate yourself from distractions, join like-minded writers, and get the jump start you need. In 2011, PLRW’s retreat will be on a Carnival cruise ship scheduled to set sail to the northeast Canadian coast. The retreat is open to RWA and non-RWA members.
Deidre is participating in a Night Owl Reviews group author chat tonight, Monday, September 13th at 8:00pm ET. She'll be joined by Gena Showalter, Michele Bardsley and Mary McCall. Hope you'll join these ladies for what promises to be a fun book convo and lots of great door prizes! :-)

GHOST HUNTRESS: THE COUNSELING - in this fourth installment of Marley Gibson's popular GHOST HUNTRESS series, THE COUNSELING finds heroine, Kendall Moorehead at a crossroads in her life. Kendall has just discovered who her spirit guide really is, lost her boyfriend, and nearly died doing the thing she loves most–ghost hunting. It’s time to take a break and try to reconcile all the changes she’s going through. So Kendall heads to the Sierra Mountains, where there’s a camp especially for young people with gifts such as hers. It’s a time for reflection and self-discovery. But when she gets to California, she once again finds restless spirits–and the boy in her last vision. It may be the end of one chapter of her life and the beginning of a new one.

In other news, most of the books in Deidre's Parallel series are going out of print (PARALLEL ATTRACTION, PARALLEL DESIRE, and PARALLEL SEDUCTION [PARALLEL HEAT will still be available through retailers, and PARALLEL FIRE was recently released in print by Samhain]). If you're bummed that you missed out on your chance to check out the series, no need to worry. We have a limited quantity available for purchase. And the best thing about it? Deidre will autograph all outgoing copies. You can't get that kind of service from Amazon. ;-)
If you'd like more information about obtaining a copy of this series, please email admin(AT)deidreknight.com. We can accept checks, money orders or PayPal payments. Remember we have a limited supply, so if you've been thinking about checking out this series -- now's the time! I've included the cover copy below for newbies. :-)

Now his rebel force has the one weapon that can turn the tide against their enemy: the key to the secrets of time. Victory has never been closer—but one woman has the power to change everything.Kelsey Wells can't deny that there is something unearthly about her fierce attraction to Jared Bennett. His revelations about alien wars and time travel can't possibly be fact—yet with every seductive touch, every searing kiss, Kelsey circles closer to the truth: that although Jared is exactly what he says, he hasn't told her everything. And when the future crashes into the present, Kelsey must decide if his deception will cost them the love that should have been their destiny.
PARALLEL HEAT: In the far reaches of Wyoming , the war between human and alien soldiers threatens to destroy the world. Alien warrior and royal guardian Marco McKinley takes his assignment as personal protector to beautiful soldier Thea Haven seriously.

PARALLEL SEDUCTION: Warrior Jake Tierny travels back in time to stop a traitor in his beloved king's camp. But when a twist of fate proves the mission unnecessary, Jake is trapped in a time not his own, with friends who cannot learn his true identity.
Scott Dillon may be the king's trusted lieutenant, but he is also a man at war with himself, a human hybrid who refuses to succumb to the Antousian nature he abhors-and that Jake Tierny embodies.
FBI linguist Hope Harper refuses to let near-blindness keep her from joining the Refarians in their war to defend mankind. Ye

The highly anticipated DARK AND STORMY KNIGHTS anthology has finally been released. Contributors include Jim Butcher, Illona Andrews, Carrie Vaughn, Rachel Caine, Vicki Petterrson, Shannon K. Bucther, P.N. Elrod, Lilith Saintcrow and last (but certainly not least!), Deidre Knight!
Here's the scoop on DARK AND STORMY KNIGHTS from Jessica Moyer at Booklist:
Elrod has collected nine original stories by the modern masters of urban fantasy; an anthology that will both thrill fans and serve as a nice introduction to an increasingly popular genre. Several of the stories are set in the authors' series worlds but feature minor characters; Jim Butcher's “Even Hand,” for example, uses the landscape of the Dresden Files series but focuses on Chicago Mob boss Johnny Marcone. Carrie Vaughn's “God's Creatures” features Cormac, who must track down a rogue werewolf. All the stories feature knights of one kind or another, but none is the conventional knight of history. The entire collection is strong, but the two highlights are Rachel Caine's “Even a Rabbit Will Bite,” about two old foes, and Shannon Butcher's “The Beacon,” in which a reluctant hunter must decide the fate of a small girl. With some of the biggest names in urban fantasy contributing stories, this anthology will be an instant hit with fans.
Deidre's story in the anthology:
In "Beknighted," a talented puzzle maker's dreams are haunted by visions of a captive knight. Anna's incessant attempts to solve the intricate puzzle required to free him fail miserably – until a dark patron brings her the key to unlocking her knight's supernatural prison. But freedom comes with a high price, and the cost may be both the lives of Anna and the nameless man who mesmerized her from the shadowy confines of a dream.

Deidre's Gods of Midnight series boasts three books and one digital novella beginning with the word "red." That can get a little confusing when you're trying to sort out what book comes in what order, so I'm hear to keep you from seeing red. Hopefully you'll just read RED. ;-) Let's start with the latest installment...
Book Three -- RED DEMON was released on June 1st to much fanfare (see fireworks below and think BIGGER)! This book focuses on Aristos, a troubled Spartan who's been holding the pain of loosing the love of his life in an apparent suicide more than a century ago. A seemingly impossible message from the otherside brings news from his true love, Juliana Tiades. Together they must figure out how to outwit an dangerous force that threatens to destroy their union once and for all.
*Intermission* (aka the digital only novella RED BLOODED) - Released in May, this novella's unique hero is a blinded Iraq vet turned vampire hunter. It's available from Sony, BN.com, and will shortly be on Kindle and Borders.com. Deidre's June release, RED DEMON, and this novella go hand in hand.
Book Two - RED FIRE debut in June 2009. It chronicled the journey of tourtured hero River Kassandros and his lady love Emma Lowery.
Book One - RED KISS, released in October of 2008, featured Ajax Petrakos and his prophesied mate, Shay Angel.
Well there you have it! The Gods of Midnight explained from A to Z. :-)

Good question about the paperback version of Red Blooded. I'd much prefer something I could hold in my hand, but if the only way I can read it is on my computer, then I'll do that.
Jia, what do you mean by Red Blooded and Red Demon going hand in hand. Should I make sure to read the novella before the latest book?
At this time there are no plans to release RED BLOODED in print. We'll definitely keep fans updated if anything changes in the future.
Gina, as for you question about RED BLOODED and RED DEMON going hand in hand -- no you don't have to read one before the other. RED BLOODED is a stand alone story. It's May release was meant to be a special bonus for fans, so I just wanted to remind everyone that they have two new stories from Deidre to enjoy right now. Maybe I will go back and edit that a little to be more clear. So thank you!
I'm sure you're wondering what exactly is going on in the picture below... Lots of fun stuff I assure you. Deidre and Gena are co-hosting a Steampunk Tea Party to celebrate Deidre's latest Gods of Midnight release, RED DEMON. So grab your petticoats and get over there! Prizes include two winners' choice of signed Gods of Midnight books. Five signed bookplates are alao up for grabs. You can also use the name generator to create your own steampunk moniker and there are links to an interactive etiquette quiz and much more!
Today is the release day for RED DEMON, Book 3 in Deidre's Gods of Midnight series. All Team Ari fans stand up! Time to celebrate!
RED DEMON: After assuming the power of life and death for the immortal Spartan brotherhood, Aristos Petrakos still hasn’t mastered his unpredictable, newfound abilities. And now a medium brings him a message from the other side—a romantic message Ari doesn’t want to hear…
A century ago, the love of Ari’s immortal life, Julianna Tiades, drowned herself in the Savannah River—after she learned about Ari’s shapeshifting abilities. Desperate to reveal the truth about her death, Julianna makes a bargain with a Djinn demon, who offers to give her physical form. But as Julianna and Ari are reunited in passion, the debt must be paid—in souls and spirits…

Happy Release Day, Deidre! I plan on buying Red Demon as a birthday present to myself. Of course, that's what I said last week when I bought Gena's The Darkest Passion, but who says there has to be a limit on birthday presents?! lol
Thanks, Gina!! I'm so excited!! And hey, you've got me in some great company when you mention the amazing Gena Showalter! :)
Also a note to all: there IS a Kindle edition, btw, if you're seeking one. It's just not linked to the print edition--you have to search the Kindle store. Thanks!!
LOL! That's because it WAS forever!! But not so going forth...and be sure to note RED BLOODED that came out in digital last month!! And then we've got RED ANGEL in February, RED MORTAL in April! Plus I have an anthology this July, although it's not part of the GOM world. :)
During Deidre's research for the Gods of Midnight e-novella, RED BLOODED, featuring blind Iraq veteran Dillon Fox, she stumbled upon the story of real life hero, Bryan Anderson. In 2005, Bryan lost three of this limbs in a IED (Improvised Explosive Device) attack. The soldier now has a flourishing public speaking career and has appeared on television and in the movies. Currently, he's working on writing a book about his experience.
**Don’t forget to check out the Real Life Hero Contest! Win up to 15 TKA books featuring real and fictional heroes! Details below.**
In the world of romance writing, heroes can morph into werewolves, glamour unwitting victims with their sparkly skin and battle nefarious dukes in dawn-lit sword fights. But, with the turn of the final page, reality comes calling. Though the castle in the Scottish highlands might not have translated to suburbia and shapeshifters aren’t shopping at the local Wal-mart, there is something both the world of romance and the real world possess – heroes. One of those real life heroes is Iraq War veteranBryan Anderson, a triple amputee and Purple Heart recipient who is working on adding the title of “author” to his resume.
Bryan’s story begins in his hometown of Rolling Meadows, Ill. As a teenager, he was a gymnast competing at the state level and excelled academically. He went on to work as Ground Crew Chief at O’Hare airport for American Airlines before enlisting in the Army. It was during his second tour of duty in October 2005 that an IED (Improvised Explosive Device) caused a catastrophic injury, severing both his legs and left hand.
After returning from Iraq, the soldier spent 13 months undergoing more than 40 surgeries. As he recovered, his mind was on more than just figuring out how to walk again. “I wanted to figure out what I could and could not do, and in doing that – I figured out there wasn’t a whole heck of a lot that I can’t do,” he says. “I mean, I can still climb trees if I want to.”
True to his word, Bryan can still climb trees along with a whole other host of activities many full-bodied people—as Bryan calls them—find daunting, including; snowboarding, wakeboarding, driving race cars, rock climbing and riding a bicycle 110 miles using hand cranks.
