I’m very happy to have the husband and wife writing team of Ilona Andrews at Smexy today talking about their newest release and one of my favorite books of the year, Bayou Moon.

Not exactly the obvious choice to sell the Conglomerate to the Ithtorians, a people whose opinions of humans are as hard as their exoskeletons.And Ithiss-Tor council meetings aren’t the only place where Ambassador Jax needs to maneuver carefully. Her Continue Reading
