Seriously. If you haven’t read Claudia’s books, you’re in for a treat. And she’s just as much fun to talk to! (And, yes, I covet her haircut!)

But don’t trust me. Come listen for yourself over at Kenner-cast!

And just a reminder if you’re new. When you click on the player on the Kenner-cast page (or in the blog sidebar), you don’t have to only listen to the current episode. Click on “all episodes” and you’ll see the full meal deal and can pick and choose. So if you’re finding this post after more content has been added, you can still hear Claudia! Or after you listen to Claudia, you can go back and listen to all my content. And of course you want to do that. Right? Right!

So, check it out, folks! I did a reading of WHEN BLOOD CALLS (the first in my new The Shadow Keepers series coming from Bantam in 2010) at Armadillocon, and I recorded the reading.

I just added the prologue and first chapter (live!) as bonus content to Kenner-cast. (It says “explicit” but it’s really not. I just clicked that because there’s some cursing).

I hope you check it out! I’m psyched about the new series and hope you enjoy the excerpt!

Just click on the podcast player in the sidebar (or go to Kennercast if you’re RSS’ing this feed).

Yes! It’s true! I’m finally starting the promised bonus content feature of the podcast, and I’m totally thrilled to have romantic suspense author Leslie Parrish as my very first guest! Leslie also writes lighter contemporary romances under the name Leslie Kelly, and we have editor Brenda Chin at Harlequin Blaze in common. I’ll let the interview speak for itself, but if you’re a Leslie Kelly fan or a romantic suspense fan, her new Black Cat series is not to be missed! Enjoy!
