Here is a fun sneak-peek from ‘Keys to the Repository’ :

From Schuyler’s story:
Three stolen kisses—what did it matter, really? Jack was never going to be her boyfriend, she thought, as she turned right onto 96th street. He was never going to sling his arm around her as they walked down the hall, never take her to Winter Ball, never declare his love over the PA system by mangling the lyrics to “Come on Eileen” as Jamie Kip did so charmingly last week when he serenaded Ally Elly before the Head Girl had cut him off. But Schuyler didn’t want any of that—did she? She had never yearned for popularity. It struck her as absurd anyway, to want popularity. Popularity was fickle and elusive, like trying to catch fireflies in a jar. You were either born with it or relegated to wallflower status according to the mysterious and unknowable workings of the universe.

You can pre-order on Amazon, B&N, and from your local indie bookstore.

Misguided Angel (The 5th book in the Blue Bloods series), will be out October 5, 2010! And here is a sneak-peek from the book:

There were seven of us at the inception of the order. A conclave was called to address the growing threat posed by the Paths of the Dead. Along with myself, present at the gathering were the Emperor’s cousin Gemellus, a weakling; Octilla and Halcyon from the vestal virgins; the head of the Imperial Army, General Alexandrus; Pantaelum, a trusted senator and Onbasius, a healer.
In my prodigious research, I have determined that Halcyon was most likely the keeper of the Gate of Promise, the third known Gate of Hell. I have come to the conclusion that this gate is instrumental in uncovering the truth behind the continued existence of our supposedly vanquished enemies. This is the gate we must focus on, the most important one in the lot.

Finally!!! The ‘Misguided Angel Cover has been released!!! I love it….absoultely gorgeous!!!This might actually be my favorite cover in the series! Doesn’t this make you more excited for the book to come out! Can’t wait!

So, what do you think about the cover? Did you have any say in it?

I had a huge say in it. I really wanted it to be otherworldly, very beautiful. I like it because the girl’s face — to me she could look Asian, or Latino, or Italian. I just thought it was kind of nice that she had this universal look where you couldn’t really tell what race she was. It’s great for an angel to look like that.

This is the fifth book in the series – how many do you plan on releasing? Did you think it would last this long?

I had a very ambitious program when I first outlined this; I definitely planned a big series. From the beginning five years ago, I said I had a plan for nine or 10 books and they said, ‘Whoa! OK! We’ll buy two and see how it does!’ And then they kind of took off. I had a plan if it didn’t work out how to end it on book three, but if it did work I definitely had this big overreaching arc that I wanted to explore. I dream big! (laughs)

Melissa did a new interview with Fangtastic Books!  The interview is amazing! We learn more about Misguided Angel, Wolf Pact, AND Keys to the Repository! Be sure to check it out!

Q: Could you tell us about your current work in progress?

A: Misguided Angel is the fifth book in the Blue Bloods series. It follows Jack and Schuyler’s journey in Europe to continue the Van Alen Legacy. Meanwhile, back in New York, Oliver and Mimi discover a new threat. A new character, Ming Chen arrives in NYC to help them with it. Part of the book also tells Allegra’s background story in fifteenth-century Florence.
 
I’m also working on Wolf Pact, the first book in the Blue Bloods spin off starring Bliss Llewellyn and a new cast of characters. And Witches on East End, which is my new adult series, about a family of witches in the Hamptons.

After inheriting the dark Van Alen Legacy, Schuyler fled to Florence–with her forbidden love, Jack. Now the two of them must embark on the mission Schuyler was destined to complete: to find and protect the seven gates that guard earth from Lucifer, lord of the Silverbloods.

As the Blue Blood enclave weakens yet further, fate leads Schuyler closer to a terrifying crossroads–and a choice that will determine the destiny of all vampires.

Mel says it’s still very vague because she’s still writing the book! But doesn’t that little bit already get you super excited???
