Cover Reveal: Black Arts (Jane Yellowrock #7) by Faith Hunter

Faith Hunter’s Jane Yellowrock dark urban fantasy 
series continues with the release of 
BLACK ARTS, book #7, on January 7, 2014.

Jane Yellowrock is a shape-shifting skinwalker who always takes care of her own—no matter the cost....

When Evan Trueblood blows into town looking for his wife, Molly, he’s convinced that she came to see her best friend, Jane. But it seems like the witch made it to New Orleans and then disappeared without a trace.

Jane is ready to do whatever it takes to find her friend. Her desperate search leads her deep into a web of black magic and betrayal and into the dark history between vampires and witches. But the closer she draws to Molly, the closer she draws to a new enemy—one who is stranger and more powerful than any she has ever faced.

Jane Yellowrock (Faith Hunter) visits I Smell Sheep + giveaway

{Katie and Sharon are silently quaking under the bed, whispering}
Katie: Who the hell invited the Beast to guest post!? Is this some kind of April Fool's Day joke?"
Sharon: I might have, sort of, kind of...
Katie: WHY!?
Sharon: I invited Faith Hunter and her character Jane Yellowrock. No one said anything about a sheep eating beast. The 6th book in the Jane Yellowrock series, Blood Trade, comes out tomorrow and I thought-
*Katie bops Sharon on the head*
Sharon: OW!
{Sharon and Katie freeze}

After a NAP
(See Jane Run) 
Sheep. I smell sheep. Beast lifted nose into the air and sniffed slowly, then quickly. Hacked. Opened mouth. Drew air in over tongue and roof of mouth. Flehmen behavior, word learned from Jane. Smell sheep. Easy prey. Unless big dog is near.

Beast rose from heated rock in sun and padded to ground, drawing air deep. Sheep only. No stupid dog smell. Easy prey. Hunched shoulders up and dropped head down. Pawpawpaw along rabbit path through forest. Past den. Good place to have kits, deep cave in rocks, narrow entrance. But big enough to pull sheep/prey/food.


No, Beast! Jane woke from sleep and thought fast. These are special sheep. Sheep that might cast a spell on you, like a net and haul you up into the trees to dangle like a pendulum.

Beast paused. What is pen-du-lum? Is it good to eat? Does it have hot blood and much meat like sheep?

No. It’s— Never mind. Leave the sheep alone.

Want sheep. Want to eat sheep. Lifted lips to show killing teeth.
These are people, not sheep. And you can’t eat people.

People who smell like sheep? Jane is stupid.

No. I’m not stupid. It’s a blog that smells like sheep, written by people who smell like people. Probably.

Jane is stupid kit. People smell like ugly man-smells. Purrr-fumes, and soap and breath of car—exhaust. Sheep smell like sheep. Sheep smell like food and dinner.

It’s a blog. And we are supposed to be guests here, but if you eat the bloggers that will spoil everything.

All meat spoils. Must eat fast to keep meat fresh.

That’s not what I meant. Besides the people don’t smell like sheep. They smell sheep. (Jane made quotation marks in air.)

Jane is confusing. Why are fingers in air like hooking claws? Jane wants Beast to eat bloggers-who-smell-sheep slow? To use claws like hooks to hunt and hurt bloggers?

Jane grabbed her braids and yanked. Arrrrg!

Beast chuffed with laughter and lay down in path. April Fools Day, Jane.


From the writer, Faith Hunter: For more Jane and Beast, Blood Trade will be out April 2, from Penguin/ROC. Like, tomorrow, Y’all! 


Jane Yellowrock is a shapeshifting skinwalker you don’t want to cross—especially if you’re one of the undead…

The Master of Natchez, Mississippi has a nasty problem on his hands. Rogue vampires—those who follow the Naturaleza and believe that humans should be nothing more than prey to be hunted—are terrorizing his city. Luckily, he knows the perfect skinwalker to call in to take back the streets.

But what he doesn’t tell Jane is that there’s something different about these vamps. Something that makes them harder to kill—even for a pro like Jane. Now, her simple job has turned into a fight to stay alive…and to protect the desperately ill child left in her care.
