Guest Post: Rhiannon Hart, author of Blood Song & Blood Storm!

Book 2 in the Lharmell series, Blood Storm

I know a lot of us in the US (and in the everywhere-but-Australia) have been having a little Aussie-related jealousy in the book department for a few years now. Yes, maybe everything wants to kill you there, but they also have been having some amazing authors, and some stellar,  p r e t t y  books come out that they haven't been sharing. Which is maybe just fair turnabout, but still. We've been a little green-eyed. (Well, I already am, but you know what I mean.)

One of those books was by one of my favorite bloggers from the very beginning of when I started blogging - Rhiannon Hart, who I was super excited for when she got her deal, only to be supercrushdeded when Random House AUS said "No book for you!" to the rest of the world.

BUT NOW.

NOW, the first two Lharmell books, Blood Song and Blood Storm, are getting their e-book releases world wide, with hard copies to follow! I don't know about you, but I iz excite.*  To celebrate the international ebook release, Rhiannon has stopped by to share a snippet and her feelings about that snippet. Check it out:

And if that wasn't enough to tempt you, how about this:

I was thinking of blood again, so I went to practice my archery.

I have often said how much I judge a book by it's first line, and that, my friends, is fanfreakingtastic.


ABOUT BOOK ONE:

Blood Song by Rhiannon Hart
290 pages
Published September 1st 2011 by Random House Australia

I wanted to turn but I was held captive by the song on the wind. I’m coming, I told the voices. Please, wait for me.

When her sister becomes betrothed to a prince in a northern nation, Zeraphina’s only consolations are that her loyal animal companions are by her side – and that her burning hunger to travel north is finally being sated.

Already her black hair and pale eyes mark her out as different, but now Zeraphina must be even more careful to keep her secret safe. Craving blood is not considered normal behaviour for anyone, let alone a princess. So when the king’s advisor, Rodden, seems to know more about her condition than she does, Zeraphina is determined to find out more.

Zeraphina must be willing to sacrifice everything if she’s to uncover the truth – but what if the truth is beyond her worst nightmares?

*If you're saying, Wait, don't you have a lovely awesome person who sent you a copy? Yes, I do. Shut up. I'm still excited for the release, so that errbody can get their hands on it, AND so Rhiannon can get her authorly hooks into as many brains as possible. So there.
