Diane Whiteside just updated her website to show how closely the books in her Texas vampire universe are inter-related. www.dianewhiteside.com

BOND OF BLOOD has all-new excerpts. You can now read the very beginning of the first chapter. You can also read Don Rafael’s opinion of what really happened when he performed the striptease for Grania in THE HUNTER’S PREY. You can also link from Don Rafael’s point of view to Grania’s point of view and back again, in case you want to compare their two similar – and yet so very un-alike – reactions to that evening. http://www.dianewhiteside.com/books.html#bond

THE HUNTER’S PREY has an additional excerpt, the very first time anyone meets Don Rafael and Ethan at the very beginning of “La Paloma Blanca.” http://www.dianewhiteside.com/books.html#prey

THIS WEEK'S FEATURED BOOK
**************************************************

World Gates - Not Quite Camelot
by Jennifer Dunne (http://www.jenniferdunne.com)
Cerridwen Press, 2005
Link to purchase http://www.cerridwenpress.com

Angie Blanchard never felt that she fit in, preferring instead to lose herself in books and dreaming of the pageantry and passion of Camelot. But when she is magically transported to the kingdom of Nord D'Rae, instead of enjoying an idyllic world of knights and ladies, she finds herself a pawn in a deadly game of court politics.

Escaping from the wizard who planned to sacrifice her for his rituals, Angie is forced to take refuge with the enigmatic Prince Reynart. But Reynart's own existence is precarious — despised by the courtiers for his bastard birth, he struggles to prove himself a loyal son to his tyrannical father. His task is made all the harder by the Queen who is determined that her son, Reynart's half-brother, should be the one to inherit their father's throne.

Reynart has learned the folly of trusting anyone, and Angie is no exception. Convinced she is part of some nefarious plot, he offers her refuge in his private chambers so he can learn her secrets at his leisure. Won over by her innocent trust, he finds it increasingly difficult to keep up his guard. Slowly, distrust turns to understanding, and eventually to love.
