Thanks again to Dear Author for giving me this opportunity to let you know about some of our terrific forthcoming titles. As always, there are too many great books for me to mention all of them, so you can look at our site http://us.penguingroup.com/static/pages/specialinterests/scifi/index.html to see everything we publish.

June 2009

CARPE CORPUS by Rachel Caine (2 ARCS)

Technically this book is published by NAL Jam, since it’s Rachel’s YA series, but I’m sneaking it in here since most of her books are Roc. This is the latest of her Morganville Vampires novels, about Claire Danvers, a young woman who goes off to college in Texas…and discovers the entire town is run by vampires. The whole series is well-done and very entertaining, and this particular book features a vampiric version of a computer / artificial intelligence (note: it’s kind of steampunk-ish and absolutely fascinating), and there are developments in Claire and her boyfriend Shane’s relationship that you will not want to miss.

PHANTASM by Phaedra Weldon (2 ARCS)

This is urban fantasy with a twist: the smart and sassy heroine, Zoe Martinique, can leave her body behind and travel in the realm of the ghostly at will. In this installment, Zoe is trying to rescue her mother’s soul, still lost on the Abysmal plane. But to do so, she must team up with her nemesis…If you think you know where this is going, you may be surprised!

July 2009

DARKNESS CALLS by Marjorie M. Liu (1 ARC)

Marjorie has written a number of wonderful paranormal romances; DARKNESS CALLS is the second in her urban fantasy series about a demon hunter with some unusual guardians: tattoos that come to life at night. I love the opening of this one: “Zombies had a bad habit of shooting me in the head. Most of them knew better, but there was always that one who wanted to get lucky.”

SKINWALKER by Faith Hunter (2 ARCS)

Faith starts a new urban fantasy series with this novel. Jane Yellowrock is the last of her kind—a skinwalker of Cherokee descent who can turn into any creature she desires—and hunts the undead for a living. The author has a great eye for detail and the setting of New Orleans and the characters really come alive. Plus, how can you go wrong when the love interest is a hot Cajun biker!

August 20009

VANISHED by Kat Richardson (1 ARC)

Kat’s series is the closest to mystery, what we call urban fantasy noir, of all the fantasy writers I work with. Her heroine in this series, Harper Blaine, is an actual P.I. working in Seattle. She handled the usual small-time cases until she died—for two minutes. When she came back to life, she was different, and her new abilities as a Greywalker are landing her all sorts of “strange” cases involving the paranormal. There’s a wonderful sense of place in these books and the writing is terrific.

SKIN DEEP by Mark Del Franco (2 ARCS)

This is first in a new series that I describe as ALIAS, the paranormal version! Laura Blackstone is an intelligence agent with magic, and when she disguises herself, it’s more than a new outfit or a way or talking—with her glamour spells, she can choose exactly how she looks. Of course, with all these identities, it’s easy to lose sight of who she really is. One of my favorite moments is when Laura wakes up after an accident and almost at the same time she’s wondering where she is, she’s wondering who she is, as in, is she still glamoured or has she dropped her spell—and broken cover.

  1. 1

    The book I want now: SKINWALKER by Faith Hunter

    The book I’m most excited about: SKIN DEEP by Mark Del Franco

  2. 2

    Now: Skinwalker
    Later: Skin Deep

    I also want Carpe Corpus, Darkness Calls and Vanished, but I’m trying not to be greedy ;-)

  3. 3

    Unfortunately, since I LOVE The stuff coming from ACE/ROC there are two books on this list that I would love to get my hands on:

    Vanished by Kat Richardson since it is the fourth and the series is really starting to crank. It is a unique and well written series.
    and
    Skinwalker by Faith Hunter. I was lucky enought to get a ARC for Strange Brew and Ms. Hunter’s short story in that made me really intrigued with Jane.

    But if I had to choose, I would say Skinwalker is the one I am most excited about since it is the start of a new series.

  4. 4

    One book? Got to be Darkness Calls. I absolutely adore Marjorie M. Liu’s Dirk & Steele series and I’ve been meaning to buy The Iron Hunt for ages. As for which book I’m most excited about for August, I would say Skin Deep. The premise sounds very engaging.

  5. 5

    Some great new releases! :)

    The book I would like now please, is:

    Skinwalker by Faith Hunter

    The book I’m really excited about, ready for release hopefully in August, is:

    Hunting Ground by Patricia Briggs

  6. 6

    I have been hearing great things about Weldon so hand over PHANTASM by Phaedra Weldon :D

  7. 7

    Looks like another awesome line up.

    I think I’ll have to go with Phantasm (the premise sounds right up my alley) along with Darkness Calls. I’m on a demon kick at the moment. They all sound so good, but I’m especially excited over Darkness Calls. Will be eagerly awaiting that one to hit stores.

  8. 8

    Skinwalker by Faith Hunter. WANT!!!

  9. 9

    I would love to have right now would be SkinWalker by Faith Hunter.

    I am really excited about Retribution by Jeanne C. Stein coming out in August, I’ve read all of the Anna Strong books so far, and really enjoy this series. Also anticipating Hunting Ground by Patricia Briggs, I just started this series and I don’t know why I took so long to start reading it. I love reading about Mercy.

  10. 10

    Thanks very much to Dear Author and Ace and Roc for the opportunity!

    As for books I’m looking forward to from these pubs, that would be Through Stone and Sea, the second book in the second Noble Dead saga by Barb and J.C. Hendee. I’m still reading the first saga and am on Traitor to the Blood, but I just know I’ll be launching right into the second saga as soon as I’m done with the first, probably well ahead of the new book’s release in January of 2010.

    There are others, but that one’s foremost in my mind ATM.

Decisions, decisions – the cover of Faith Hunter’s Skinwalker is a real grabber and having read the other Zoe Martinique goodies by Phaedra Weldon I know I’ll buy these – but would truly LOVE to win’em.

    These all look great, but I think Skinwalker would be my first choice. After that, Skin Deep — I’d love to get in on the start of one of these new series.

    As for the Ace/ROC release I’m most looking forward to later? That’s got to be Anne Aguirre’s Doubleblind in September.

  77. 77

    The book that I really want now is DARKNESS CALLS by Marjorie M. Liu, and the book that I’m most excited about and looking forward to is Skin Deep by Mark Del Franco. All the author books up for grabs are excellent choices, though ;-)

    The future release I’m most looking forward to is Hunting Ground by Patricia Briggs. I love the Mercy world and love reading her books.

  79. 79

    Branded by Fire – Nalini Singh (I know it isn’t listed there but she hinted on her website it might be available). Otherwise Skinwalker by Faith Hunter.

    I am really looking forward to Hunting Ground by Patricia Briggs.

  80. 80

    I’m so wanting Marjorie M. Liu’s Darkness Calls. She’s a wonderful author who can do no wrong imho.

    As for a future release I’m looking forward to, I’d have to say Mark Del Franco’s Skin Deep offers a really cool premise. It’s got me intrigued.

  81. 81

    Sheesh…um, I am most exited and want NoW Darkness Calls, but will put that official in the Want Now catagory.

    Skin Deep I am very excited about – if executed well, it could be fantastic!

  85. 85

    Wow, great covers.

    I would love to get a copy of Skinwalker.

    As to what book I’m most excited about, I’ve got to say the newest installment in the Kris Longknife series: Kris Longknife: Undaunted. Since I’ve been waiting since the last one came out in October 2008…October 2009 seems very far away.

  86. 86

    Vanished: Want Now
    Skin Deep: Most excited about and Want Now.

    But they all sound great. I’m new to reading fantasy and all of these peaked my interest.

  87. 87

    The book I’d like from the giveaway – Darkness Calls by Marjorie Liu (I really enjoyed Iron Kiss and it seems like forever since I read it!)
    Skinwalker by Faith Hunter also looks good and would be a new author for me.

    I’m looking forward to – the next Patricia Briggs (either series) and these looked good from the coming soon list; Summer Knight by Jim Butcher and Midnight Rein (Vampire Babylon 2) by Chris Marie Green

    Thanks again! Happy Reading!
    Patrice

  88. 88

    Darkness Calls: Want Now

    Most excited about: I gotta say I’m a sucker for a book with a bad ass chick on the cover, so I’ll probably check out all of the titles.

  89. 89

    The two books I would love to have:

    Marjorie Liu’s Darkness calls, just because I know it will be a good read, hers always are for me.

    Second book. Skin Walker becuase it sounds so intriguing.

    The book I am looking forward to most? Darkness Calls.

  90. 90

    How can I find out about books coming up further in the future? They don’t seem to be on the publisher website, and while I certainly have some books I’m excited about I usually only pay attention to the author, not the publisher, so I don’t know whether they’re ACE ROC books.

  91. 91

    I definitely want Skinwalker now! I’ve been looking forward to that one.

    Later, I’m looking for is Hunting Ground by Patricia Briggs. I love the Mercy Thompson and Alpha & Omega series.

  92. 92

    The book that I would like to win now, is Branded by Fire by Nalini Singh, and the book that I am most looking forward to is Haunting Beauty by Erin Quinn. I really love Nalini Singh’s Psy/Changeling series and can’t wait for Branded by Fire! I have never heard of Erin Quinn and her book Haunting Beauty sounds like and interesting and entertaining read.

  93. 93

    The book I want now is Darkness Calls

    The book I’m most looking forward to is Hunting Ground . Love Patricia Briggs!

  94. 94

    Skinwalker now, and looking forward to Hunting Ground by Patricia Briggs.

  95. 95

    I would love to read Skinwalker – I really enjoyed her Angel trilogy.

    The book I am really looking forward to is Hunting Ground. I read the excerpt this week and I cant wait until I get my mitts on it. Also Cape Storm by Rachel Caine and Doubleblind even though thats not out until September!

  96. 96

    DARKNESS CALLS! I love Zee and the boys. I think they would come in very handy in my day job. Not that I’m a demon hunter, but graphic designers need supernatural protection (and murderous personal warriors) more than you’d think.

    I’m a latecomer to the Mercy Thompson books. But I just read BONE CROSSED and am going back for the first three. So I’m definitely looking forward to HUNTING GROUND.

  97. 97

    the book I most want now: Carpe Corpus! I’m desperate to find out what happened after the end of Book 5

    the book I want later: Vanished. I’ve been meaning to grab the first book back from my sister so I can finally finish it in fact.

  98. 98

    What I want now is Vanished and Darkness Falls sounds great for later.

  99. 99

    Book I want now: Darkness Calls

    I’m looking very forward to Vanished!

  100. 100

    The book I want now: Phantasm

    The book I’m most excited about: Skinwalker! I read an excerpt of it a while back and I cannot wait to get my hands on it!

  101. 101

    The two I’d most like to have now:
    Skinwalker by Faith Hunter
    Skin Deep by Mark Del Franco

    I’m also looking forward to getting my hands on Hunting Ground by Patricia Briggs.

  102. 102

    I’d choose Darkness Calls, Phantasm also on my wishlist. I definitely can’t wait for Singh’s Branded by Fire, wish it was out right now so I could start reading, and also want Briggs’ Hunting Ground.

  103. 103

    The two I am most interested in are Faith Hunter’s Skinwalker and Mark del Franco’s Skin Deep. I am very much ready to read Hunting Ground by Patricia
    Briggs.

  104. 104

    Decisions, decisions :) I think the book I want is Vanished by Kat Richardson. And as for the one that has me intrigued? Mark Del Franco’s Skin Deep. I really enjoy his Connor Grey series!

    Thank you very much DA and Ace/Roc!

  105. 105

    I would love to try Skinwalker or Skin Deep they both sound great.

    For upcoming releases I’m most looking forward to Midnight Reign
    Vampire Babylon, Book Two Chris Marie Green – Author

    Leave me out of the drawing, obviously, but I just wanted to say that in addition to Hunting Ground, which I am absolutely salivating for, I am also really excited about Sharon Shinn’s October hardcover anthology from Ace, Quatrain. It’s going to have four novellas set in four different worlds from Shinn’s previous books — the angel/Samaria (Archangel, etc.) world, the Gillengaria (Mystic and Rider, etc.) world, the world from Summers at Castle Auburn, and the world from Heart of Gold. I’m excited about the angel novella and dying for another story set in the world of Heart of Gold.

    I look forward to these previews. Thank you so much!

    Now: VANISHED by Kat Richardson
    Later: HUNTING GROUND by Patricia Briggs

    And like Janine I can’t wait for QUATRAIN!

  108. 108

    Now: DARKNESS CALLS by Marjorie M. Liu
    Later: VANISHED by Kat Richardson

    Patty Briggs has another book coming out soon? Cool!

  109. 109

    I would like to read CARPE CORPUS

  110. 110

    Wow! Fabulous books and authors.

    NOW: “Skinwalker” by Faith Hunter
    LATER: “Magic in the Shadows” by Devon Monk

  111. 111

    I havent read any of the ACE ROC books – something new is always good.

    So if I win, surprise me.

  112. 112

    Checked out the books -Skin Deep looks really good -so would like that one.

  113. 113

    I would like Liu’s Darkness Calls, Weldon’s Phantasm, and Del Franco’s Skin Deep…any or all is okay with me :-)

    I’m looking forward to Nora Robert’s Black Hills and Alyssa Day’s Atlantis Unmasked, as well as Patricia Brigg’s Hunting Ground.

  114. 114

    I want it now: Skinwalker

    I am most excited about: Vanished

  115. 115

    The book I want now? Darkness Calls by Marjorie M. Liu.

    It’s hard to choose “the August/September/October ACE ROC book [I am] most excited about” with only a few listed here, and the upcoming releases on the site only going through July. I’ll have to go with Vanished by Kat Richardson, as I love the Greywalker series.

  116. 116

    NOW! : Skinwalker by Faith Hunter. please.

    Next: Skin Deep by Mark del Franco

  117. 117

    I would love to read Mark Del Franco’s Skin Deep.

    I can’t wait to get my hands on the anthology Must Love Hellhounds with my favorite authors Ilona Andrews, Charlaine Harris, Nalini Singh and Meljean Brook. I’m not sure if this is ROC/Ace.

    I’m salivating thinking about Hunting Ground. Briggs is such a phenomenal author.

  118. 118

    Vanished by Kat Richardson. Looking forward to The Dark Reaches by Kristin Landon (June 30th release).

  119. 119

    Now: VANISHED by Kat Richardson
    Later: SKIN DEEP by Mark Del Franco

    I was really tempted to put DARKNESS CALLS by Marjorie M. Liu as I loved the first book in this series but I thought it would be better to use this chance to try a new author :)

  120. 120

    Now: DARKNESS CALLS

    Later: Don’t know, these authors aren’t familiar to me. No doubt after I read the blurbs/excerpts I will find myself wanting several. I know Liu has been mentioned on several occasions so I know I want to check her out.

  121. 121

    The book I want now is DARKNESS CALL by Marjorie Liu and for later I am very intrigued by several of the books here, one of them SKIN DEEP by Mark Del Franco.

  122. 122

    The ARC I would like now is Carpe Corpus I really enjoy this series

    Book I can’t wait to read is Blood Promise, Cape Storm and Hunting Ground

  123. 123

    Now: Vanished by Kat Richardson since I love mysteries.

    Future: Hunting Ground by Patricia Briggs because I am a total fangirl.

  124. 124

    Put me down for Skin deep please.

  125. 125

    I agree with whoever said they should start the series by Marjorie M. Liu. Her romances are so good, I don’t know what’s taken me so long to pick this one up. “Cape Corpus” also looks good, and I’m glad it was mentioned because I don’t think I would have heard of it otherwise.

    However, I am most interested in “Skinwalker” by Faith Hunter. This book sounds like something I’d love!

  126. 126

    Now – PHANTASM by Phaedra Weldon

    August – VANISHED by Kat Richardson

  127. 127

    Darkness Calls by Marjorie M. Liu

    Dead Until Dark by Charlaine Harris

  128. 128

    The two books I would most like to have: 1) Skinwalker by Faith Hunter ( Adored her post apocalyptic angel series!) 2) Phantasm by Phaedra Weldon ( I know nothing about this writer but the blurb seems interesting and I keep hearing her name).

    For book being released in August/September/October: Vanished by Kat Richardson seems really cool.

    Also can I say how excited I am about the release of Dark Reaches by Kristin Landon. I love this series- happy happy happy joy joy joy.

  129. 129

    Skinwalker is the book I want now
    Skin Deep is the book for later I’m excited about

  130. 130

    Hmm for this month I would like Skinwalker by Faith Hunter. I haven’t read any of her books before but this sounds really intriguing.

    For the next set I would love Skin Deep by Mark Del Franco. I own and eagerly devoured Mark’s previous three books.

    Thanks for the giveaway :)

  131. 131

    I’d love Darkness Calls now and then Vanished in August. Both sound terrific!

  132. 132

    Many of my favorite books are from Ace and Roc so I’m always eager to see what is coming out. So many of these books sound great.

    Skinwalker is on the top of my list. Carpe Corpus is also on my auto buy list. I’ve read all the other books in this series.

    Hunting Ground by Patricia Briggs is the book I’m looking forward to in August.

  133. 133

    Skinwalker by Faith Hunter looks fantastic! I’m really looking forward to the August release of Hunting Ground by Patricia Briggs. Love her books.

  134. 134

    Now: Carpe Corpus! I met Rachel Caine once; she’s pretty damn awesome.
    Later: Vanished — I’m a couple behind, I think, but I love this series so much.

  135. 135

    I said in a comment in the previous post (reading all my feeds in chronological order is a pain sometimes) that I adore Faith Hunter. (Okay, I said I’d stalk her if I had time but let’s let that one go.) Needless to say, the book I’m most interested in is Skinwalker. Man, I do love her.

    I also really like the Rachel Caine and Kat Richardson series so both of those books would be great.

    I’m most looking forward to Hunting Ground by Patricia Briggs.

  136. 136

    Two from June/July: Darkness Calls and Skinwalker
    Looking forward to: Hunting Ground, Patricia Brigss

  137. 137

    I would love to get my grubby little paws on Skin Deep! And while I realllly enjoy most of what ROC puts out, Phantasm is high on my list to grab when released!

  138. 138

    Now: DARKNESS CALLS by Marjorie M. Liu…would love to become more familiar with her work!

    August book I’m most excited about: VANISHED by Kat Richardson…just from that amazing cover alone!

    Thanks for the great contest!

  139. 139

    I’d love to have now Skinwalker now (hellooooo Cajun biker)and I’m most looking forward to Darkness Calls!

  140. 140

    WANT: Totally fascinated by the concept of Skin Deep.

    For Fall, I’m sooo looking forward to:

    On the Edge – Ilona Andrews.
    Bitter Angels – C. L. Anderson
    Must Love HellHounds – Anthology
    Damnable – Hank Schwaeble
    Finding the Lost – Shannon K Butcher
    Skykeepers – Jessica Andersen

    I guess I’ll just have to read: Darkness Calls (Marjorie M Liu), Demons Not Included (Cheyenne McCray), Branded by Fire (Nalini Singh) while I wait!

  141. 141

    I would love to have SkinWalker or Vanished right now

    Later I am really looking forward to Hunting Ground by Patricia Briggs!

  142. 142

    book i want now? Darkness Calls!

    book im really looking forward to? Vanished by Kat Richardson :D

    and also, “Shiver” by Maggie Stiefvater… wanted this for SO long <3

  143. 143

    The books I want most now:

    Carpe Corpus by Rachel Caine
    Skinwalker by Faith Hunter

    The book I am most excited about:
    Hunting Ground by Patricia Briggs (August release, I think)

  144. 144

    There are honestly no books that I want right now, but that’s only because I spent an hour at the bookstore yesterday and hefted home a huge bag filled with all the books I’d been looking for (and then some, as usual).

    I’m looking forward to Marjorie M. Liu’s Darkness Calls. The Hunter Kiss series is incredibly detailed and creative, I’m excited to see what happens next. (Especially since I hear the hero’s powers will be discussed more in Darkness Calls.)

  145. 145

    All of these look awesome!

    I’d have to go with Darkness Calls and Skin Deep I guess though.

  146. 146

    Book I Want Now: Rachel Caine’s Carpe Corpus
    Book I Want After: Skin Walker by Faith Hunter

    Soooo many awesome books, so little time! I wish I could have 10 more hours a day just for reading.

  147. 147

    At first my first choice for the one book I want now was Carpe Corpus but then I noticed that it’s written by Rachel Caine. And I promised myself never to read Rachel Caine ever again. So I have to let that one go. So my now book will have to be Skinwalker by Faith Hunter.

    The book which I am most excited about is Skin Deep by Mark Del Franco.

    :)

  148. 148

    Book I want NOW: Darkness Calls (becoming a big Liu fan)
    Book I’ll want later: Vanished (I really need to start this series, have heard good things)

    Great lineup over the next months!

  149. 149

    OOOH, so many good books!

    But for NOW I’d have to go with Carpe Corpus b/c I love Rachel Caine’s writing and Texas.

    And for later, Skin Deep by Mark Del Franco. Oooh, but I wouldn’t mind Hunting Ground by Patricia Briggs. Love both their writing…

    Thanks so much for this great giveaway!
