New York Times bestselling author Marjorie M. Liu recently talked about her HUNTER KISS series with Penguin's Project Paranormal. In the interview, she reveals her inspiration for the series, which includes THE IRON HUNT and DARKNESS CALLS, and much more! Majorie is also the author of the popular DIRK AND STEELE novels.
Marjorie M. Liu has devised a fantastic interactive contest to prep fans for the release of DARKNESS CALLS on June 30th. Here are the deets from her website:
Since Marjorie's got so many fans out there across different genres, she thought she'd give you a little treat with a special letter that comes out of her urban fantasy Hunter Kiss series. It's a letter you won't be able to find in any of the books--instead it will be posted in four different sections, over four weeks. It is a message from Grant Cooperon, the hero, to the unborn daughter he hopes to one day have with the heroine, Maxine Kiss.
Marjorie says of the special letter -- from the desk of Grant Cooperon to be only opened by his daughter: "I'm excited about this promotion because I love being able to reach out to you, my fans-- in person at romance conventions, or ComicCon, or online through my blog or twitter. This summer is a busy one for me because I've got the new DARK WOLVERINE series and the special NYX: NO WAY HOME collection, both from Marvel, coming out in June, followed by DARKNESS CALLS on June 30 and THE FIRE KING at the end of July. I'd love to get all my characters at the same 4th of July BBQ and see what happens...but that's not in this letter!"
Check out part one of the letter here, including an audio version read by the webmaster of RTBookReviews, Rob DiCaterino.
Part two of Grant's letter will be available at Tor.com starting June 15 and part three will be available at Smart Bitches, Trashy Books starting June 22. Stay tuned to learn where the complete letter will be posted on June 29!

The 411: They are the obsidian shadows of my flesh - tattoos with minds, hearts, and dreams. By day, they protect me. But when night calls to them, they leave my body, dissolving into their true form - as demons…
Nomad born and bred, demon hunter Maxine Kiss has always relied upon herself to fight the darkness that surrounds her, the predators-human, zombie, and otherwise - who threaten the earth. But one man has penetrated her lonely life: Grant, the last of his kind. With music he is able to control any living creature…including demons. And now his life is in danger.
Haunted by the past, determined to change the future, Maxine soon understands that to save Grant, she has only one choice-to lose control, and release her own powers of darkness…
