Writing Buddy Wednesday - Tracey O'Hara

Fellow DarkSider Tracey O'Hara is the author of dark urban fantasy series, The Dark Brethren.  A computer programmer by day, Tracey lights up the page with her writing and brings a new twist to the vampire tale at night.

I've known Tracey since the first RWAus Claytons many years ago, even writing an article about it together for Hearts Talk. Since then we've become chat buddies, and met in person for the first time in Brisbane 2009. At WorldCon last year, Tracey let me tag along with her and her friends to some events and she made me feel like one of the gang. So you can guess, she is a sweet and caring person.

She is also currently pimping the cover I did for Dante's Rising as her as my alter ego. LOL! It was such a pleasure working with her on getting the cover right.

Tracey's latest release is Death's Sweet Embrace, Book Two of the Dark Brethren series. This is waiting patiently on my TBR pile, but I'm sure I'd love it as much as I loved Night's Cold Kiss.

Here is the blurb:

After thousands of years of secret conflict, humans and parahumans have reached an uneasy truce. But unspeakable evil now threatens to shatter the tenuous peace.

Teenaged shapeshifters are being slaughtered by a twisted, sadistic serial killer who rips their still-beating hearts from their paralyzed bodies. A task force must be formed to halt the madness—a union of avengers including the vampiric Aeternus, Christian Laroque and Antoinette Petrescu, as well as Kitt Jordan and Raven Matokwe, members of enemy Animalian tribes…and forbidden lovers.

A centuries-old blood feud has divided their peoples—pitting wolf against snow leopard in a battle to the death—and if their passion is discovered it will doom them both. But past hostilities must be put aside in light of the scourge that is now upon them. For the killer they seek is but the first sign of a blossoming terror rising up from their long-buried pasts: the all-consuming nightmare of The Dark Brethren.

The third book of the series will be released about mid-2012. 

You can find Tracey at her website. Tracey also writes Erotic Fantasy stories as Tracie Sommers. They are Hawt (yes with the couple H).

As a special treat this week, I have another giveaway. Tracey's first book in the Dark Brethren tale, Night's Cold Kiss. So please leave a comment for your chance to win.
