Night's Illusion

I've been anxiously awaiting the cover for NIGHT'S ILLUSION, the 8th and probably the last book in my Children of the Night series. The hero this time around is Father Lanzoni, the vampire priest who married the couples in the previous books. I decided he finally needed a happy ending of his own.

The book will be published next August, which sounds like a long way away, but not when you consider how swiftly this year has gone by. Hoping the next one is better.

Cover Copy

 Hi ~ I was excited to receive the back cover copy for NIGHT'S ILLUSION, book 8 in my Children of the Night series, which will be published next August.

It reads as follows:

Giovanni Lanzoni may just be the world’s oldest male virgin. Or at least, the oldest male virgin vampire. Giovanni has clung to the vows he made a thousand years ago as a mortal priest—yet he is no longer either of those things. Others of his kind have settled down since claiming immortality, finding love, even raising children. Sensing his loneliness, Mara, Queen of the Vampires, eagerly sets out to find Giovanni the perfect mate. But only one woman, met by chance on a dark night, truly tempts him . . . 

Cassie Douglas has never met a man she trusts as much as Giovanni. Yet the shocking truth he reveals makes her question their deep connection. There are other urgent obstacles too. Giovanni’s sire, an ancient, dangerously powerful vampire, is awakening after centuries of slumber, with vengeance on his mind. And in the battle unfolding around them, everything is at risk—their lives, their loved ones, and a passionate eternity together . . .

I can't wait to see the cover.

Hope all is well with you and yours!

 I received the cover for the book I am currently writing, which I love, love, love, especially the hero. I think I posted the beginning on a previous blog. I really hate to see this book end. I think it's going to be one of my all-time favorite stories and  heroes.

Here's the cover


The book will be available next year.

Hard to believe it's October already!!!!!

Hope all is well in your corner of the world.
