On the first day of every month I post on the Supernatural Underground, a blog by a group of speculative fiction authors published by HarperCollins USA (The Eos imprint of HarperCollins is publishing The Heir of Night, which is  for adult and crossover readers, in the US on 1 October.)

Today’s post is “All About the Characters”—so do click on the link and have a read.

There’s also a giveaway: My editor at Eos, Kate Nintzel, is giving away two AREs of Heir for blog posters from the USA/Canada only, while I am putting 2 x signed copies of Thornspell into the draw for readers from other parts of the world.

But just so visitors here don’t feel left out, if you comment on either this post—or yesterday’s More Australia/New Zealand Cover Excitement—post before midnight, August 2, NZ time, you’ll go in the draw to win one of another 2 x signed copies of Thornspell.  And as you may recall from earlier in the week, the new paperback edition of Thornspell, which was only  released in New Zealand on July 2, “has already just about sold out”. 🙂

If you’d like a second chance to win, just rock on over to the Out of this Eos blog and comment on my article posted there, which is about the Hugo Awards (again before midnight, August 2, NZ time—but don’t forget to check back here to see if you’re one of the winners.)
