24 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.
Six Sweet Sentences from
the book:
“Are you planning on standing here
all night?”
Terrence’s voice, but it held none
of his usual warmth. Lori jumped. She turned, her fingers itching for the stake
in her boot. Did he suspect she’d followed him? From his tone of voice, she
thought so.
