My readers have been amazingly supportive, enthusiastic, and kind. Your responses to Whitfield in general, and Caspia and Ethan in particular, have made this whole writing gig worthwhile. A special thanks to Kris S., who inspired the Grey Ladies, and always, always makes me feel appreciated.
The late great Ann Crispin deserves a shout out. Although you’re no longer with us, Ann, you were instrumental in giving me that crucial push out into the writing world. Warren, Luke, Gigi, Alina, and Mandy, thanks for the feedback and encouragement in Ann’s classes. DragonWriters unite!
ROW80 has once again proven to be an incredible resource for writing, scheduling, marketing and pr, advice, bemoaning, and just plain fun. Many thanks to Kait Nolan for keeping us all on track. You are the den mother to our unruly cub scouts. I also can’t forget the writers who’ve been so supportive both on the interwebs and in real life: Stacey Wallace Benefiel, Lauralynn Elliot, Jeff Bryan, VJ Chambers. May the cursor be kind and the plot bunnies fertile.
My father has been incredibly supportive in too many ways to mention. So I’ll just say thanks!
My mother is still the smartest, sharpest, most kick-ass woman I know.
Tony. You and your beautiful tropical island that you fly over in your plane with your dream “job” driving ATVs all over a gazillion-acre private ranch and your ocean-view house with its heady home brew and your smart amazing wife (Hi Nathalie) who also happens to be a Food-Network appearing gourmet cook… I’m still older than you. So there.
Grace, thank you for late night ice cream runs, straight talk, kindness, and keeping me up on current trends. I sound hipper because of you. (Not that I actually am hipper. You just help me fake it.)
Max, without you life wouldn’t be as fun. You keep me joyful and grounded, and your sense of humor pushes the line between laughter and asphyxiation. One day, kid, you’re gonna be a star. And then I can live in your pool house.
Emmaboo. My sweet littlest one! One day Mommy will write a book for you, but since you can’t read yet, you’ll have to settle for her weird nonsensical ramblings acted out by stuffed bunnies.
And finally, Daniel: Our love disgusts the children. It’s way past time to grow up. Frequently life is a beautiful nightmare. In my writing I try, and fail, and try again to capture this beast between us. Maybe one day I’ll get it right. Love you forever, V

Vicki Keire grew up in a 19th Century haunted house in the Deep South full of books, abandoned coal chutes, and plenty of places to get into trouble with her siblings. She spent the last decade teaching writing and literature at a large, football-obsessed university while slipping paranormal fiction in between the pages of her textbooks.
Published works include the bestselling Angel’s Edge series, which includes Gifts of the Blood, Darkness in the Blood, and Blood Redemption, The Chronicles of Nowhere series, and the stand-alone novel Daughter of Glass. She is included in the Dark Tomorrows anthology with J.L. Bryan and Amanda Hocking, and the Primetime anthology with J.R. Rain and Anita Exley.
When not reading and writing about all things paranormal, she enjoys other people’s cooking and keeps vampire hours. She’d rather burn the laundry than fold it, and believes that when an author wins the Newberry, he or she gets a secret lifetime pass to Neverland. She is fond of lost causes and loud music. She currently resides in Central Florida on a lake-front farm full of many furry friends. She loves hearing from readers and can be reached on most social media sites or through her blog, of which she is awfully fond.

Worlds Burn Through, by Vicki Keire
(http://j.mp/1hy3LIb)
Chloe Burke has nightmares of a world burned to ash and the strange boy who saves them both. Underneath the dreams lurks a deeply buried reality; Chloe and a handful of others are survivors of a decade old apocalypse that burned their home world to the ground.
Now their ancient enemies hunt them again. To keep their adopted world safe, Chloe must undergo a ritual of blood sacrifice—that is, if her lethal protector, Eliot Gray, can keep her alive to do it. Together they’ll uncover even more dangerous secrets buried in the past’s deepest, darkest ashes.
Shadowed Ground, by Vicki Keire
(http://j.mp/HHU4Xc)
Chloe Burke has only two choices left: run or fight.
As she wakes from a poisoned sleep with silver scars across her back, her aunt’s diary may provide the only clues about the creatures of fire that hunt her. Separated from her last living relative and the only home she has ever known, Chloe must rely on the deadly Eliot Gray to guide her through the strange world she suddenly finds herself inhabiting.
It’s a world where the Abandoned wear human bodies like cheap suits, where the Landing finds itself threatened by its nearest neighbors, and Chloe and Eliot must watch their every move.
The Gathering Darkness, by Lisa Collicutt
(http://j.mp/161ihTZ)
They say “third time’s the charm”, and for sixteen-year-old Brooke Day, they had better be right.
She doesn’t know it yet but she’s been here before—twice in fact. Though, she’s never lived past the age of sixteen.
Now in her third lifetime, Brooke must stay alive until the equinox, when she will be gifted with a limited-time use of ancient power. Only then will she be able to defeat the evil that has plagued her for centuries.
Wilde's Fire, by Krystal Wade
(http://j.mp/1ak2Ju1)
“There is no pain in this death, only peace, knowing I am going to die with the one I love the most.”—Katriona Wilde.
Katriona Wilde has never wondered what it would feel like to have everything she’s ever known and loved ripped away, but she is about to find out: her entire life has been a lie, and those closest to her have betrayed her.
What’s worse, she has no control over her new future, full of magic and horrors from which nightmares are made. Will Kate discover and learn to control who she really is in time to save the ones she loves, or will all be lost?
The Serendipitous Curse: Reborn, by Aiden James & Lisa Collicutt
(http://j.mp/1922q3Q)
The soul of Solomon Brandt, an evil plantation owner murdered by his slaves, has been safely contained by the Hoodoo circle over his burial site. But construction work has disturbed the seal, and the essence of Solomon emerged at last into the modern world – but forever changed.
Will the Hoodoo priestesses that imprisoned him give Solomon a chance at redemption? A chance at true love? A chance to find himself again?
Will the good in him triumph, when his soul’s evil side comes knocking?
Buried, by Gerilyn Marin
(http://j.mp/15sVw5n)
Fane’s Cove isn’t the average coastal town- not with wandering apparitions, disembodied voices and poltergeist activity occurring on a regular basis- but the residents are used to it. As far as they know, it’s simply always been that way.
Somehow, Cadence McKenna can’t shake the feeling that the seemingly-normal new resident, Gray Addison, is hid
ing something stranger than all of the town’s odd happenings combined and she’s determined to find out what that is – by any means necessary.
