New Release Tuesday Spotlight and Giveaway: Rob Thurman

Okay, there are roughly a million new releases. Here’s what I’ve got, in alphabetical order. And then I want to talk to you about urban fantasy author Rob Thurman. Stick around, because there’s a massive giveaway involved.

[EDITED TO ADD: The giveaway is now closed.]

NEW RELEASES – Info and table very gratefully taken from Literary Escapism –

There’s more awesome in this list than you can shake a stick at. I mean, one of my anthologies (MAMMOTH BOOK OF HOT ROMANCE — Dame Lili is in there too) is on the list, and so are books from the marvelous scoundrels at the League of Reluctant Adults (Caitlin, Richelle, Cherie and Jeanne, I’m looking at you). My gosh, just look at this list! If you’ve been waiting to buy books, well, pony up, because the wait is over.

And now, I want to talk about Rob Thurman. (Did I mention a massive giveaway?)

If you follow Rob’s blog, you are well aware that she was in a horrible car accident two weeks ago. It was bad. Very bad. But now she’s no longer on the ventilator, thank God. She’s got a ways to go, but it looks like things are taking a turn for the better.

Now, some of you may be wondering who the heck Rob Thurman is. Simply put, she’s one of the best damned urban fantasy authors whose works I’ve ever read, bar none. She’s also a former Dame for a Day. If you like your urban fantasy dark, gritty, action-packed, and filled with gallows humor (and doesn’t skimp on the cursing), then you’re gonna LOVE her books. I’m still not sure who I’m crushing on more — Cal, Niko or Robin Goodfellow. Probably Niko, that Buddha-loving bad ass.

I realize that some of you may not have read any of Rob’s books. Silly people. And so…I am doing a MASSIVE GIVEAWAY. Yes, massive.

I am giving away five copies of EACH of Rob’s books. (Because I am now broke, I have to limit this to the US only. Sorry about that.) The books are:

THE CAL LEANDROS SERIES

– Nightlife   [[ALL OUT]]

– Moonshine [[ALL OUT]]

– Madhouse [[ALL OUT]]

– Deathwish [[ALL OUT]]

– Roadkill [[ALL OUT]]

– Blackout [[ALL OUT]]

THE TRICKSTER SERIES

– A Trick of the Light [[ALL OUT]]

– The Grimrose Path [[ALL OUT]]

THE CHIMERA SERIES

– Chimera [[ALL OUT]]

– Basilisk [[ALL OUT]]

And so…the giveaway. One book per person. This is strictly on a first-come, first-served sort of thing. And it’s while supplies last.

[EDITED TO ADD: And supplies have run out! All 50 books have been claimed, and the winners have been emailed. If you have not received an email from me, don't fret -- maybe one of the winners won't get in touch with a mailing address.]

[And guys, really, I'm sure Rob will be so thrilled to hear how much you care. Thank you for posting your well wishes for her. And I will be sure to pass along the messages the winners have been giving me.]

Here’s what you have to do:

In the comments section, give me your first three choices of Rob books. You have to include a valid email address so that I can contact you for your mailing info. (Again, US only. Sorry!) And hey: how about a lovely message for Rob?

[EDITED TO ADD: Guys, I'm serious about needing that email address! Please don't assume that your name will link to a website/contact page/what have you. If you don't include an email address, I can't contact you. And that would make both of us very, very sad.]

I’ll start mailing out books this week…and when supplies are out, the giveaway is done.

[EDITED ONCE AGAIN TO ADD: I'm really serious about you having to include an email address. Really really. And ditto about listing three (3) choices!]

And so…have at it!
