2 Days
until the release of This Blackened Night, The Order: Book 3!
Every
author has a set of characters more dear to their hearts than any others. In
most cases, this stems from these characters being among the first ever
created. I won't claim Lori and Terrence were my very first, but they did come
close. Their first book, Stalking Shade, which released in 2011, was
originally written in 2007. And rewritten. And rewritten.
And now it
feels like a dear friend is moving away. With the release of This Blackened
Night on September 24th, 2012, the trilogy will come to an end. Lori might
be a prickly character, not easy for anyone but Terrence to love, but I had a
lot of fun with her. When I wrote this third book late last year, I dragged my
feet to see it finished for the same reason. I didn't want to let the pair of
them go. A not-so-secret part of me is hoping for an overwhelming response from
readers asking me to continue so I have an excuse to revisit my favorite
characters.
For now,
I'm counting down the days until the third book releases. Maybe you'll fall in
love with Lori and Terrence every bit as fiercely as I have. Lori might be
stubborn in pushing people away, but Terrence is the most persistent character
I've ever written. Good thing, too.
Join me in
celebrating the release of the third book a bit early with this short, sweet
teaser excerpt:
This
Blackened Night by L.K. Below
With
murders cropping up all around, who should she trust?
After
months of searching, Lori finally scrounges up a clue as to the whereabouts of
the missing leader of her secret organization. But her vision isn't
encouraging--it points to her vampire companion Terrence as the culprit.
Terrence
is adamant that he isn't at fault. Even though she knows she might be walking
into a trap, she follows his lead to a shabby island port. When her informants
start turning up dead with puncture wounds in their necks, Lori wonders just
how well she knows Terrence. And why does he act different during the search
than in their hotel room?
Lori
doesn't know who to trust anymore. She only hopes that she won't be the next
victim.
Seven
Sweet Sentences from the book:
He lingered above her
body, his face and torso only inches from hers and slowly closing in. His lips
parted to reveal the tips of his fangs. Lori shivered as he traced the
sensitive skin under her ear with his thumb. The rough pad sensitized her skin
even further. Their breaths mated, like she knew he longed to do with their
bodies. For a second, she almost gave in.
Then she remembered
what he’d done.
