My favorite thing about a four day week is how the weekend can sneak up on you, Friday comes so quickly!  It is less fun, however, when Wednesday pops up out of no where.  I apologize for the late post today, my head was still back enjoying the holiday weekend.  I kicked off 2012 by shouting, “Wait, it’s Wednesday?!”, how has everyone else been enjoying the new year?

After a month of voting, the results are finally in for the 3rd annual Paranormal Cover Art Awards!  Thanks to the 850+ of you who voted, the brilliant artists, and creative authors responsible for these books.   The competition is always fierce, but I think this year’s awards mark a new high.  The first and second place covers in the Best Female with Animal cover were separated by only 3%!  And if you’ve followed these awards in the past, you know that the gorgeous covers for the Hush, Hush books created by photographer James Porto always dominate, and this year was no exception as they swept all three categories they were nominated in.  I’m disappointed that my favorite cover, Dan dos Santos’ MY LIFE AS A WHITE TRASH ZOMBIE by Diana Rowland (which tied with Gene Mollica’s HOUNDED BY Kevin Hearne for most nominations) just missed out in all it’s categories, but I can’t argue with the winners.  Stunners all around.
