And from Skyler White, "my debut dark urban fantasy novel,and Falling, Fly, will be released by Berkley on March 2, 2010. As an edgy, feminist work,and Falling, Fly re-appropriates vampires for a more mature audience. The book's counterculture settings (tattoo parlors, goth-metal bars, absinthe dens), undercurrents of literary and classical mythology, neuroscience and on-the-ground research in rural Ireland, as well as its heroine's inner journey toward claiming her own desire, could provide interesting angles for an interview, chat session or other feature."
Set in the lush, Irish steampunk Hotel of the Damned,and Falling, Fly pits the fallen angel of desire, now a vampire, against a self-medicating neuroscientist to explore the nature of feminine desire. The result of extensive academic research in mythology and neuroscience and personal exploration of remote Irish locations,and Falling, Fly has garnered advance praise from Anya Bast and Julie Kenner.
