Thank you to everyone who entered our Midnight Breed swag contest! I hope that you’ve all had the opportunity to pick up a copy of EDGE OF DAWN, the latest book in Lara Adrian’s fabulous Midnight Breed series, and have had the chance to rediscover Kellan with Mira. Their mating has been several years in the making and it makes me very happy to know that Mira finally got her male. After everything they’ve both suffered their happiness is well deserved.
And speaking of happiness, the following people were chosen via Random.org to receive a Breed drink cozy, a Breed pen, and a set of nine Midnight Breed bookmarks:

Observant readers may notice that originally 11 prizes were advertised but there are a total of 13 winners listed. The number of entries were limited and it didn’t feel right to give a prize to everyone except two so I decided that everyone who entered wins! I’m even going to through in some additional swag that I happen to have on hand. Winners are asked to watch their email for a request from me for your mailing address.
Oh – I guess that I should share which ability I’d like to have, after all it’s only fair! Personally, I’d love to be omnilingual. The ability to understand, speak, read, and write any language would be amazing. My second choice, if I had one, would be the same one that many of you chose – the ability to heal. Either of these abilities would be so valuable to have but I’d keep them a closely guarded secret in case someone evil wanted to use me for my abilities. I’d probably need my own Breed male to guard me and keep me safe…

Kelley is beginning the new year with the release of a couple new eBooks – Forbidden, a Clay and Elena story, and Amityville Horrible, a Jamie Vegas story. Forbidden is also available in print, while Amityville will be available later this month.
Forbidden
The team-spirit sign by the side of the highway seems a good omen to loner Morgan Walsh, as he drives to what could be the most important visit of his life—a chance to join the North American Pack. Then he wakes naked in the woods, surrounded by wolf tracks and a ring of suspicious cops. The situation only gets worse when he’s bailed out by Alpha-elect Elena Michaels and Clayton Danvers, her terrifying enforcer and mate.
Disappointed that such a promising young werewolf risked exposing them, Elena isn’t expecting anything from the pesky retrieval job except some much-needed alone time with Clay. Instead, she finds a different kind of evil stalking the streets and forests of Westwood, New York. Trapped in town by a snowstorm and sabotage, Elena, Clay and Morgan must find the mysterious threat before it sets its sights on them.
Amityville Horrible
Jaime Vegas—spiritualist, entertainer and, unbeknownst to her audience, real-life necromancer—swore she’d never do another reality ghost show after the last fiasco. But when she’s railroaded into a charity gig, she finds herself back on the set, this time with a cast of photogenic college kids, an up-and-coming Russian spiritualist, and a tale of missing girls and murder in New England. It’s cheesy, but that’s show business. With her werewolf Alpha lover, Jeremy Danvers, along to keep her nights interesting, it’s not so bad really. Until the bloody ghosts show up. Jaime has never faced spirits like these, and no matter how hard she tries, they won’t be ignored.
In other Kelley news, the Bitten television show will begin filming in Toronto this spring and casting begins soon.
Shards & Ashes, a new dystopian anthology that Kelley co-edited with Melissa Marr, releases next month. Kelley is giving away ARCs of Shards & Ashes, along with ARCs of Loki’s Wolves and The Rising. To enter please e-mail contest@kelleyarmstrong.com and let Kelley know which contest you want to enter. Giveaways close January 15th so enter today!

I’m so excited, Peeps… I have the day off today so I took advantage and got a little late Christmas shopping done. When I came home I found a package from the wonderful Lara Adrian in my mail box, containing a review copy of her latest Midnight Breed novel, Edge of Dawn, along with a package of Midnight Breed pens & bookmarks to give away! She also included a lovely Christmas card, ’cause she’s thoughtful like that.
Would you like to order your own signed copy of Edge of Dawn? Just head on over to Lara’s site, where the pre-sale Edge of Dawn Virtual Signing is currently underway.
I’m just finishing the final chapters of Darker After Midnight so I’ll be reading Edge within the next couple of days. Stay tuned for my review and an upcoming contest to win packages of Midnight Breed bookmarks & pens!
Twenty years after the terror of First Dawn—when mankind learned that vampires lived secretly among them—the threat of violence reigns as the two species struggle to coexist. The only group preserving the fragile harmony is the Order, an elite cadre of Breed warriors dedicated to protecting humans and vampires alike. And in this precarious world of torn loyalties and shattered trust, Mira, a fiery squad captain, finds that every fight bears an intensely personal cost.
Raised among the Order, Mira has always believed in the warrior’s code of swift—and even lethal—justice. But the one thing she desires more than the Order’s hard-won acceptance is Kellan Archer, a sexy but troubled Breed fighter. In love with him since childhood, Mira once broke through his tough exterior during an unexpected night of rapture, but the next day he mysteriously disappeared, never to return.
Kellan didn’t think he would ever see Mira again—or have to confront the truth of why he left. After abandoning the Order years ago, he now leads a band of human rebels intent on carrying out their own vigilante rule of law. Yet a high-profile kidnapping assignment brings him face-to-face with the past he sought to avoid, and the striking woman he has tried desperately to forget. And as tensions mount and the risk of bloodshed grows, Kellan and Mira must take sides—between the competing missions that dominate their lives, and the electrifying passion that claims their hearts.

All of the previously announced prizes have been claimed, Peeps, so now it’s time for the random prize draw. We had a total of 170 unique participants who registered their predictions way back in April when the contest first launched. These names were all entered into a master spread sheet and sorted from highest score to lowest. I then went to to Random.org and used the Random Integer Set Generator to generate 19 random integers between 2 and 171 (line one of the spread sheet contains the header). Here are the results:
