You’d like these books, wouldn’t you? But my fluffy kitty butt shall guard them until release day.
NONE SHALL PASS.

Wow, that release date just gets closer and closer, doesn’t it? Weird. Just one more week now!

Some fun stuff to keep everyone entertained until then:

Another advance review in, this time Mogsy from The Bibliosanctum:

I’m practically bursting with questions and anticipation for the next book. I know I’ve said it before but I’ll happily say it again and again: M.L. Brennan’s Generation V series is simply wonderful, featuring a unique world filled the most incredible and unique paranormal beings you’ll ever meet. Without a doubt, this is one of the most fun, refreshing and addictive urban fantasy series you can find on the shelves right now, with each book bringing a new adventure and plenty of surprises. If you haven’t started yet, run—don’t walk—to your nearest bookstore and pick up the first book. I really can’t wait to see what Fort and Suze will be up to next.

Also, I did a podcast on Sunday with the Oatmeal Raisin Conspiracy — basically they brought me and Stephen Blackmoore on, then just sat back and watched the stream-of-consciousness-insanity fly. The whole thing is two hours, and we do each talk about our own series and approaches to writing a bit, but of course we also discuss the really important stuff, which gave the episode its name: “Botanist Erotica.” Good times!

In other news, the signed copy giveaway at Goodreads ends on August 3, and the really big giveaway on Reddit (remember, on that one I ship ANYWHERE) ends on August 11.

We’re in the single-digit countdown now, dear readers, so if you can, please do pre-order your copies of Dark Ascension wherever you prefer to purchase your books! Or, if you can’t afford to buy it, please pester your local library to get a copy! Thanks so much!
