Out and about
 If you're going to be in the Portland, OR area this evening, supernatural romance/horror writers Richelle Mead and Caitlin Kittredge are going to be at the Powell's Books at Cedar Hills Crossing (the new Beaverton location) at 7:00 PM. Powell's events calendar gives the following introduction to the authors: "In Frostbite, the second volume in Richelle Mead's bestselling young adult Vampire Academy series, it's winter break at St. Vladimir's, and Rose is feeling anything but festive. With the deadly Strigoi closing in, Rose must learn that heroism rarely comes without a price. Welcome to Nocturne City, the town in Caitlin Kittredge's Night Life where werewolves, black magicians, and witches prowl the streets at night. Among them is Luna Wilder, a tough-as-nails police officer whose job is to keep the peace. As an Insoli werewolf, Luna travels without a pack and must rely on instinct alone." I've never read a Kittredge novel (the story sounds fun, but was she forced to name her werewolf heroine "Luna Wilder"?), but Ms. Mead's books are a very good time! Labels: Events, Richelle Mead

Sequel news
 We've had about a zillion search string hits this month from people looking for information on the sequel to Richelle Mead's Vampire Academy. So here's a compilation of what (little) we know: 1. The sequel will be called Frostbite.
2. It's due out on April 3rd, 2008, and will be followed by at least one more book.
3. It's going to feature a skiing trip, further romantic complications for Rose, and a roving band of evil Strigoi. We are indebted to Ms. Mead for the plot tidbits (many thanks!). But if you're one of her many new fans, did you know she has another urban fantasy series? It looks like it's intended for adult readers, but if you fit that category, why not while away some of the time between now and next April by reading Succubus Blues? Labels: Richelle Mead, Sequels
