the cover art fairy

Well, I'm excited.

Is this hot or what? It's for SHADOWGLASS, book 2 in my Shadowfae Chronicles series. 

Fairies, magic mirrors and mayhem. In Melbourne. You know you want to :)

 

Book 1, SHADOWFAE, is out 13 October 2009. You'll have to wait for April 2010 for this little yellow baby, though there's a sneak peek in the back of book 1.
 

Here's a blurb for SHADOWGLASS:
 

A seductive magic mirror, deep in a demon's lair. A simple warning: don't stare at the glass. A light-fingered fairy who can't resist.

For Ice, a compulsive fairy thief, life is a wild party of mayhem, fae trickery and magical confidence scams. She's never cared about rules or warnings, so when she filches a demon's beguiling magic mirror, she can't resist taking a peek.

Malicious enchantment strikes, and Ice can no longer tell a lie. If she can't undo the spell, she'll have to turn respectable. Two words: no way.

It sounds simple, especially when Indigo, a frosty metalfae thief, agrees to help her, as he too has fallen foul of the mirror's mischief. But when the mirror's victims start turning up dead, it seems someone doesn't want Ice or Indigo cured. As they draw closer to answers — and to each other — Indigo remains stubbornly silent about the nature of his enchantment. Is he the killer's target? Or does he harbour a more chilling secret?

Bwa-ha-ha-ha. I love this story. I love this cover. I'm all fulla love.

Right. Now I can get back to work.

fairies and weirdlings and all manner of good things

Hi. I'm Erica Hayes. I'm an Australian urban fantasy author, and my first book, Shadowfae, is coming out in late 2009 from St Martin's Press.

There. That's that over with. Glad you dropped by.

Here, we're gonna be talking about the weird stuff, and I don't mean Tasmanians.

I'm talking fairies. Vampires. Demons. Banshees. Succubi. More fairies. A spriggan or two. Anything that takes our fancy. Fantasy creatures, coming to a gritty city street near you.

We'll chat about urban fantasy books, and movies, and odd things that catch our eye. And, of course, romance. We adore romance. Especially if it's got fairies. And not the tiny flittering kind.

Friend me? Aww. You're making me blush. Go right ahead. Link to me. RSS your sweet little socks off. I'll answer comments. I'll link you back. I'm like that.

So pull up a screen. Squirm yourself comfy in that beanbag. Pass the chocolate. And let's get chatting.
