Immortal: Love Stories with Bite, edited by P. C. Cast (BenBella, 2008) will be available exclusively at Borders as of this August.

This vampire-themed YA anthology will include short stories by P. C. Cast, L. J. Smith, Cynthia Leitich Smith, Kristin Cast, Rachel Caine (author interview), Tanith Lee, Nancy Holder, Richelle Mead, and Claudia Gray.

My short story, “Haunted Love,” is set in a fictional, small Texas town, which exists in the same fantasy universe as Tantalize (Candlewick, 2007, 2008) and Eternal (Candlewick, 2009).

Cynsational Notes

Authors in the Corner: Cynthia Leitich Smith: a new interview from From the Corners of Megan’s Mind. Peek: “‘I don’t think I’d be writing Gothics today if it weren’t for Joss Whedon‘s ‘Buffy the Vampire Slayer’ and Annette Curtis Klause‘s Blood and Chocolate (Delacorte, 1997).”

Check out the new play list for Tantalize (Candlewick, 2007, 2008) on my MySpace page. Thanks to members of Tantalize Fans Unite! at MySpace for their song suggestions.
