Piatkus Welcomes Keri Arthur & J.R. Ward!

We’re pleased to announce that we have just acquired two exciting paranormal romance authors to our list!

Keri Arthur’s Riley Jenson novels are set in an alternative Australia populated by all manner of supernatural species as well as humans. Riley herself is rare hybrid of werewolf and vampire and subject to strange cravings and desires when the moon is full...She works for Melbourne’s Directorate of Other Races: an organisation created to police the supernatural races - and protect humans from any unwelcome interspecies depravity.

This is a very sexy, exciting dark urban fantasy series that will appeal to fans of Laurel K Hamilton’s Anita Blake books.

Keri, herself, lives in Melbourne where the books are set.

The first three novels in this series, Full Moon Rising, Kissing Sin and Tempting Evil will be published in paperback in April next year.
J R Ward is a New York Times bestseller and has the distinction of writing the sexiest paranormal novels on our list!

The Black Dagger Brotherhood novels are edgy, erotic vampire romances set in New York where a deadly turf war is going on between vampires and their slayers. (The slayers being the bad guys in this!) The Brotherhood is a secret band of six vampire warriors who are defenders of their race, and each gets to star in their own book.

The new novel in this series, Lover Revealed, will also be published in April next year.

Great news about J.R Ward ~ these books are fabulous.

Will you be publishing the first three - Dark Lover, Lover Eternal & Lover Awakened or just starting with Lover Revealed?

Hi Carla, the publication schedule is always subject to change, but we always try to publish new American novels as close as possible to the US publication date. We will have our own covers for the UK versions of these titles.
