This week is your chance to win a SIGNED copy of Yasmine Galenorn's Shaded Vision.
This is the second book by Galenorn I've given away, so I must have absentmindedly plucked up two at her table while she was looking the other way.
Shaded Vision is one of her Otherworld novels which are just chock full of paranormal characters. This one is about Delilah, one of three (somewhat) weird sisters. She's the werecat of the trio.
I'm very fond of cats.
Anyhow, the usual suspects are out in all their otherworldly menace and all hell is breaking loose, as it is wont to do in Galenorn's novels.
From the book:
He glanced up at me, and a little smirk crossed his face. "About two months ago. He was working for a client of mine. We . . . the attraction was immediate. So he came to work for me. The attraction won't last. He's one of the djinn, and they don't make good long-term lovers. But it will be fun for the duration. And I needed the company. And the help."
Can you trust a djinn?" Camille frowned. I knew that look. It meant that she didn't trust Toby any more than she trusted a skunk in heat.
"No, but that is why he is not allowed access to private information, and why he doesn't have a key to my place. Do not trouble yourself, young witch. I will not compromise the integrity of my operations with a veil of sex haze. But it has been a long time since I've found someone to my liking, and I plan to enjoy myself in the meantime. And before you ask, I don't ask what equipment my lovers have, merely if they want to play."
Fun for the duration. Djinn are like that, apparently. Who knew?

Shaded Vision comes
ReplyDeleteSoon we'll visit Yasmine's world again
Can't wait 'til release
Yes! Both lovely and true. I saw her tweeting about this.
ReplyDeleteHmm... I'm not much of a writer, much less poet! Let's see...
ReplyDeleteYasmine the darkness is courting
With this tale full of magic and passion
The werecat Delilah transporting
Readers to other worlds after a fashion
Oy...
That's a fun one *g*
ReplyDeleteEvil witches and weird sisters may seem much the same to uninitiates
ReplyDeletetheir crock pots full of plucked eyes and black newt tongues
Yet the weird sisters by their cock crow's milk organic from the co-op
While evil witches plant Monsanto corn, and ride their plastic brooms
with gps attachments across the sky
their erotic rags all orlon and lycra,
the weird sisters meanwhile, in mismatched faded black
from the yard sale or Goodwill.
Ooooh. Something about this one brings out great poems.
ReplyDeleteI waited an extra day to make sure I hadn't missed any messages that were posted at GoodReads. There seems to be a version of the blog there that one may post to and the messages never show up here.
ReplyDeleteThe winner is Kettle Macauley. Kettle, please get in touch with me through the link at the top of the upper left column and send me a snail address. I'll send Galenorn's book to you with all due speed.
ReplyDelete(Unless I really do have feets of snow on the ground and get stuck up here for a bit.)
Yay, Kettle! Happy reading! Jo, I do hope you'll not be buried in snow! Stay warm, dry, and safe :)
ReplyDeleteI bought milk. This is traditional.
ReplyDeleteI would buy milk and bread which is even more traditional but I make my own bread.
Yay! I can't wait to read this book -- and I've never read anything by this author before. Thanks Jo!
