Congrats, winners! You have until midnight, EST, Sunday Feb. 24 to e-mail me your mailing address so I can send the ARCs out to you. After that, I will pick other winners.

And thanks to everyone who left a comment. I appreciate all the nice words about my books, and I’m that glad you guys are looking forward to more of Gin’s adventures (and Gwen’s too). Plus, you guys gave me a bunch more books to add to my own TBR pile.

Anyway, thanks again, and happy reading!

My editor was nice enough to send me three print ARCs (advanced reading copies) of Deadly Sting, the eighth book in my Elemental Assassin urban fantasy series that will be out on March 26.

I haven’t done a giveaway here on the blog in a while, so I thought that I would offer up the three ARCs for giveaway. To enter, just leave a comment on this post talking about a book that you are looking forward to in 2013.

The giveaway will run through midnight, EST, Wednesday, February 20, and is open to U.S. residents only. The winners will be randomly selected and announced here on the blog on Friday, Feb. 22. You must be 18 years or older to enter.

Also, if you do win an ARC, I hope that you will consider reading and reviewing the book for your blog, Goodreads account, etc.

Here is the description for Deadly Sting. As always, if you don’t want to be spoiled, you may want to avoid reading the description.

Red is definitely my color. Good thing, because in my line of work, I end up wearing it a lot.

Most people shy away from blood, but for an assassin like me — Gin Blanco, aka the Spider — it’s just part of the job. Still, it would be nice to get a night off, especially when I’m attending the biggest gala event of the summer at Briartop, Ashland’s fanciest art museum. But it’s just not meant to be. For this exhibition of my late nemesis’ priceless possessions is not only the place to be seen, but the place to be robbed and taken hostage at gunpoint as well. No sooner did I get my champagne than a bunch of the unluckiest thieves ever burst into the museum and started looting the place.

Unlucky why? Because I brought along a couple of knives in addition to my killer dress. Add these to my Ice and Stone magic, and nothing makes me happier than showing the bad guys why red really is my color.

Hope everyone enjoys the book when it comes out.
