    TEMPTING TRIOS

    Readers benefit from publishers' bets on back-to-back books to boost sales and provide name recognition for their rising-star authors.

    Includes an interview with Tor-Forge editor Heather Osborn talking about the MARKED series.

    Whos Been MARKED

    Great characters and terrific storytelling in a hot-blooded adrenaline ride. A keep-you-up-all-night read.
    — Patricia Briggs, #1 New York Times bestselling author

    EVE OF DARKNESS is a sizzling, heart-pounding urban fantasy that thrilled and fascinated me from beginning to end. It’s got smokin’ hot angels, blood-chilling demons, and questions that go deeper than who’s kicking whose butt. Eve is a smart, spirited heroine I won’t soon forget!
    — Jeri Smith-Ready, award-winning author of WICKED GAME and BAD TO THE BONE

    Exhilarating adventure in an edgy world of angels and demons highlights the opener of Day’s Marked trilogy. Dynamic and vibrant, Eve is an impressive protagonist, and her fierce spirit and determination to make the best of her circumstances will keep readers enthralled.
    Publishers Weekly

    Charlaine Harris, Katie Macalister, Kim Harrison . . . S.J. Day? There’s a new chick in Urban Fantasy town, and with Eve of Darkness, she makes a provocative, compelling arrival. Eve of Darkness is an example of urban fantasy done well: characters you care about, a mythology that is easy to understand yet full of possibilities and smokin’ hot erotica. Here’s hoping Eve doesn’t work off her Mark anytime soon.
    — Denise Dutton, Greenman Review

    Now the idea of a superhuman, supernatural-hunting protagonist isn’t exactly an original concept. There’s Buffy, Anita Blake, and many others. So what sets Day’s series apart from the others? First off, the characters are just plain fun. The dialogue is lively, sardonic, and had me smiling many times throughout the book. The other thing that works is that the story is sexy without being tediously romantic like so many other urban fantasy series. This is one that both men and women will enjoy. Great start to the series!
    — Tim Janson, Mania.com

    A kick-ass heroine to inspire us all, mixed with a fabulous cast of secondary characters and a plot that just won’t quit. Day has hit a home run.
    — Kathleen Lawless, author of XXX Marks the Spot

    You’ll never think of the old Cain and Abel battle the same way. Day’s gripping, compelling, and kick-ass EVE OF DARKNESS will have you eagerly awaiting the next book in the series.
    — Toni McGee Causey, author of Bobbie Faye’s (kinda, sorta, not exactly) Family Jewels

    EVE OF DARKNESS couldn’t be a more awesome read! I can’t stress enough how much I loved this book, or how badly I’m already chomping at the bit for the second one.
    — Nikki Duncan, reader

    EVE OF DARKNESS totally rocks. I need the next one in the worst way. It is sexy, action-filled, dark and still fun.
    — Jennifer A. Ray, reader

    Day has mixed her urban fantasy with biblical references, tight plotting, exciting action, and a hero…or two… you won’t soon forget. Eve manages to be a kick-ass–and yet human and vulnerable–heroine. I would highly recommend this book and I can’t wait for the next in the series!
    — Erin Quinn, author of HAUNTING BEAUTY

    I really can’t believe how deeply I loved it. You nailed it. You capture the reader immediately, and you never let us go.
    — Joy Harris, reader

    OMG - it is so amazing. Seriously. It’s well written, fast-paced, has great tension, the world-building is good, there are characters to hate, characters to love and some you are completely unsure about. And it leaves you wanting more. I must have more Eve.
    — M.G. Braden, author-reader

    Wow! Loved it! …a fantastic start to the series!
    — Fatin, reader

Eve of Darkness

Short and mostly painless bio:
S. J. Day’s resume includes a variety of odd jobs ranging from amusement park employee to Russian linguist/interrogator for the U.S. Army Military Intelligence. She’s presently a full-time writer. A native Southern Californian, S.J. thinks there’s no place like home, but she loves to travel. Her adventures have taken her to Japan, Holland, Germany, France, Mexico, Jamaica, and all over the United States. She’s now hard at work on her next book.


Longer, possibly too long bio:
This is where I tell you about me, I suppose. Not my favorite thing to do--I find it awkward--but here goes.

I've been a published author for over three years now and have been blessed to have sold 17 novels and several novellas to several different publishers during that time. I've won many awards for my writing and a few of my books have been national bestsellers.

No matter what genre I write in, I have a few storytelling "trademarks" -- strong but sympathetic heroine, moments of humor, plot twists, sexual tension (one of my strengths, if I say so myself), vivid descriptions, and breakneck pacing.

I was born in South Central Los Angeles and moved to Orange County, California when I was in the fourth grade. I stayed until my early-20’s, when I joined the U.S. Army Military Intelligence as a Russian Linguist/Interrogator. My family still lives in Orange County. I live a bit further inland now, in a wine valley. (However, I don't drink wine. It gives me a headache.)

Thanks for stopping by!

S.J.

    Hi! Just wanted to make sure all my friends know that my 2nd horror novel SACRIFICE was released this month - and is in stores everywhere, including Amazon.com. I hope you'll check out the book! Here are a couple reviews it's gotten:

    “SACRIFICE is not for the timid or weak of heart, it is a full frontal assault on your senses. It is a dark, brutal, bloody and terribly frightening book. Everson went deep into some dark abyss to bring this book to the light of day.... I highly recommend Sacrifice.”
    —Famous Monsters of Filmland

    “John Everson manages in SACRIFICE to dispense buckets of blood, provide edgy perversity, and walk the tenuous tightrope of horror and sex without falling: It’s rather an amazing feat.” –Hell Notes
