Daughter of Blood<\/em> News:<\/h3>\n

As I said on Thursday, “Book is coming”<\/a> — and this week delivered more pre-publication build up for Daughter Of Blood<\/em><\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n

The book has now had a second review, this one from Romantic Times, which concluded:<\/p>\n

\u201cSprawling, vividly detailed and consistently intriguing \u2026 A heady, imaginative tale full of Lowe\u2019s haunting prose and bold characters that builds to a startling climax that will leave readers anxious for more.\u201d<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

Daughter Of Blood<\/em> also received a mention on Kirkus, as one of “January’s Must-Read Speculative Books”<\/a> —<\/p>\n

“WHY YOU MIGHT LIKE IT: This third book in The Wall of Night<\/strong> series (you have been reading this Gemmell Award\u2013winning series, yes?) is a richly drawn and imaginative as its predecessors.”<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

This was also very cool.<\/p>\n

Happening This Week:<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Daughter Of Blood<\/em><\/strong> chapter reveal and giveaway<\/h4>\n

In terms of what’s ahead for the week, first of all I have to own up that I misled you on Thursday, when I said that the first Malian chapter would be revealed on SF Signal<\/a> this week. There will still be a chapter reveal, but it will be the first chapter of the book (as opposed to the first Malian chapter*), which means that you will be getting to meet the Daughter Of Blood herself…<\/p>\n

And the very first Daughter Of Blood<\/em><\/strong> giveaway will still be happening, with the 4 copies up for grabs: 2 for US\/CAN readers and 2 for UK\/AUS\/NZ.<\/p>\n

This should all be happening Wednesday 13, US Central Time — so Thursday 14 for Australian and New Zealand readers.

The Avid Readers Return:<\/h4>\n

Remember I promised that December’s avid readers would be returning in January with their \u201cmost anticipated\u201d reads for 2016? Well, Jennifer <\/a>will be kicking off tomorrow with her Top 5, most-anticipated books for 2016, followed by Paul<\/a> on the 18th and Karen<\/a> on the 25th. I hope to have another bonus post from Janine<\/a> as well.

Rebecca Fisher<\/p><\/div>\n

Big Worlds On Small Screens:<\/h4>\n

It’s Big Worlds On Small Screens <\/a>week, too, and right now Rebecca is checking out “Fantasy Films From the Eighties That Weren’t That Bad.”<\/p>\n

Or should that be, “weren’t that<\/em> bad”? \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n

Something to check out for some mid-week nostalgia, or horror relived, as the case may be!<\/p>\n

* For those of you who worry whether or not Malian will be in the book at all, or when, don’t forget this snippet I shared with you last year:<\/p>\n

“\u2026Malian gathered herself. Breathing in the resin of the pines, mingled with acrid earth, she brought the two places together in her mind, folding the distance between them. For a moment she stood poised <\/em>…”<\/span><\/p>\n

Another Sneak Preview For Daughter Of Blood<\/em>…<\/a><\/h4>\n

There you go, proof positive!<\/p>\n
