Lots to get to in this post, so let’s dive right in! First, a reminder that you can join me, author Ilona Andrews, and author Scarlett St. Clair in a Zoom panel tomorrow, Saturday December 18th, at 1 pm Central Time (2pm Eastern). We’re going to cover topics like Vlad Dracula, the origins of vampire myth, the transformation of vampire from monster to hero, the heroines of vampire genre, and so on.
It shows registration closed, but typically, about 30% of people who register don’t show up, so go HERE tomorrow and you’ll probably get in.
Signed Books
We’ve partnered with Bank Square Books for this event. NOTE: because of the pandemic, “signed book” in this case means a book with a signed bookplate in it. Bookplate is a fancy sticker with the author’s signature. If you would like a signed book by one of the three panelists, you can order it through THIS LINK ONLY.

*Please Note: Orders will NOT arrive in time for Christmas delivery.*
Next up is the winner of last week’s contest giving away a $50 Amazon egift card. Winner was chosen at random because I can’t be expected to pick between you. For privacy reasons, only the winners first name, last initial, and state will be publicly displayed. Winner will also be contacted via email. Without further ado, the winner is…
Sarah W from California
Congrats, Sarah W! You’ll get an email from me shortly with instructions on how to get your prize.
To everyone else, I’m sorry that you didn’t win, but as promised, you have another chance. At the bottom of this post is ANOTHER contest. This time, there are two prizes, and yes, part of this contest is open to international readers*.
Now, to the new chapter. If you missed my prior post, I originally published the beginning of THE OTHER HALF OF THE GRAVE as free, partial serial back in 2019, intending it as only a fun glimpse of some early chapters from Bones’s point of view. I never intended to turn it into an entire book, but reader response, plus my own enjoyment, convinced me to finish it.
ETA: The previous unrevised, unedited chapters have been taken down. You can read an extended excerpt from THE OTHER HALF OF THE GRAVE here. (link: https://www.jeanienefrost.com/books/the-other-half-of-the-grave/)
THE OTHER HALF OF THE GRAVE releases April 26th, 2022 in ebook, audio, and print. Order yours at #Ad Amazon, B&N, Apple Books, Kobo, or your favorite retailer.

Good luck, everyone!
Yay April 26th!! Gives me something good to hold on to while getting through the winter season!! Have fun with the Zoom event tomorrow!! 📚💖📚
The suspense!! I can’t wait for what comes next 😈 I’ve been loving reading Bones’s point of view since the first chapter came out. Bones is my favorite of all time! Vlad and Ian are tied at second 🥰
This is my favorite book of the series and it is great to read the story from Bones’view. April please come soon!
Is it too much to ask that you do the whole series from his POV? I love him too much.
Uuh, that’s mean. I want to read the rest of the scene!! Can‘t wait till the book comes out!
Please never stop writing in the night huntress world 🥰
I can’t wait until the release! I really hope you consider doing the entire series from Bones’s POV. I can only imagine Bones’s activities in One Foot In The Grave before he found Cat again.
Can’t believe I missed the updates until now! Excited to hear all the new updates and get to read more chapters!
