Hi, Everyone! I am overjoyed to report that I have a brand new series that will be launching in only a few more months. RED FIRE, the first Gods of Midnight novel releases on October 7th, 2008. Seven Spartan warriors were granted immortality in exchange for protecting mankind from every form of evil, including a powerful and crafty Persian Djinn who has been their nemesis throughout eternity. Book one is warrior Ajax Petrakos’s story, and here’s the cover copy:
“Powerfully sensual and mind-blowing,”* Deidre Knight’s novels have set the standard for boldly erotic paranormal romance. Now she unleashes an electrifying new series in which seven Spartan warriors, immortal protectors of humankind, battle their passions…a weakness that can only bring their downfall.
Eternity has become a prison for Ajax Petrakos. Centuries after he and his Spartan brothers made their bargain for immortality, Ajax struggles to maintain his warrior’s discipline. His only source of strength is his hope that he will soon meet the woman once foretold to him—the other half of his soul, Shay Angel.
Ajax searches for Shay on the haunted streets of modern-day Savannah, but an ancient enemy has already found her. The youngest of a powerful demon-hunting clan, she can see the monsters that stalk the steamy southern night… an ability that draws the deadly attention of Ajax’s worst enemy.
As she and Ajax race to decipher the rest of the prophecy, a fated passion arises, threatening to sweep away everything in its path.
RED FIRE is currently available through presales on Amazon. Stay tuned for more tidbits about this thrilling new series, as well as some fantastic giveaways designed to stoke your “Spartan love!” Meanwhile, my website features some great information about all my books, as well as links for joining my newsletter and e-group. And in anticipation of RED FIRE’s release, I have launched a new message board. Hope you will swing by and check it out!
For those of you still hungering for more of my Midnight Warrior series (the PARALLEL books), I have a special announcement. Samhain Publishing is exclusively re-releasing PARALLEL FIRE, A MIDNIGHT WARRIOR’S NOVELLA beginning Friday, June 6th. Previously, the book was only available in the United States and I’m so excited that all my worldwide fans will now have access to this steamy tale of Anna and Nevin becoming stranded in Yellowstone. Stranded and with a whole lot of time on their hot little hands, that is! Here is a link to the novella.
For newbies to this site, a little bit of history. By trade, I am not only an author but also a literary agent. I established The Knight Agency more than ten years ago and have had the good fortune to work with a multitude of amazing authors. However, writing was my first "true love." My favorite genres, as you may well know, are paranormal stories and romance. Luckily enough, I get to combine both those loves in the novels that I write.
Stop by again soon for more updates on upcoming releases and events.
Best,
Deidre
