Cover Art: Killing Rites

Killing Rite by M.L.N. Hanover will be published by Pocket Books on November 29th 2011.

Product Description:

Jayne Heller has discovered the source of her uncanny powers: something else is living inside her body. She's possessed. Of all her companions, she can only bring herself to confide in Ex, the former priest. They seek help from his old teacher and the circle of friends he left behind, hoping to cleanse Jayne before the parasite in her becomes too powerful.

Ex's history and a new enemy combine to leave Jayne alone and on the run. Her friends, thinking that the rider with her has taken the reins, try to hunt her down, unaware of the danger they're putting her in. Jayne must defeat the weight of the past and the murderous intent of another rider, and her only allies are a rogue vampire she once helped free and the nameless thing hiding inside her skin.

Progress Report: A Memory of Light

Brandon Sanderson has tweeted that the final Wheel of Time novel, A Memory of Light, is about one-third done. In a further Tweet, Sanderson confirms that he hopes to turn the book in to Tor in November this year. He's caught up with some material he worked on whilst working on the first leg of the final three books back in 2007-09, and the percentage completed bar on his website should move up significantly in the next week or so.

A Memory of Light is currently planned for release in November 2012.

This is one that I've been waiting to read for over a decade.  Let's pray it's as good as we all hope.
