The Picture of Dorian Gray meets Pride and Prejudice, with a dash of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde. New York City, 1880. Seventeen-year-old Natalie Stewart's latest obsession is a painting of the handsome British Lord Denbury. Something in his striking blue eyes calls to her. As his incredibly life-like gaze seems to follow her, Natalie gets the uneasy feeling that details of the painting keep changing... Jonathan Denbury's soul is trapped in the gilded painting by dark magic while his possessed body commits unspeakable crimes in the city slums. He must lure Natalie into the painting, for only together can they reverse the curse and free his damaged soul. Tomorrow I get to go and see Leanna Renee Hieber at Books and Company in Ohio. I am so excited!! Hardly any authors I read make it to my part of Ohio. They either make appearances in Cincinnati or Columbus, and while I don't mind the drive, it's nice not to have to drive an hour or so to see a favorite author. Leanna was the first author to do a giveaway on my site and was one of the first authors to send me an ARC of their books. Her Strangely Beautiful Series is on my keeper shelf!
On twitter a few weeks ago I was talking with Leanna and a few other people about Lord Denbury, the hero in Darker Still. I suggested a blog badge so we could all show our love of all things Denburylicious (his nickname on twitter) This is what they came up with:
Don't you love it? :) I am so excited to see Leanna Renee Hieber tomorrow-she was one of the authors I got to meet at Lori Fosters Reader/Author Get Together last May.
