suzannemcleod@spellcrackers.com BioI am the author of the Spellcrackers.com urban fantasy series set in present-day London with dangerous faeries, seductive vampires, bureaucratic witches, eccentric goblins, rock-solid trolls, copious bloodletting [umm ... probably not suitable for children] magic, mayhem and murder!
The Sweet Scent of Blood [1] is out now, The Cold Kiss of Death [2] comes out 16th July 2009 and The Bitter Seed of Magic [3] is out 2010, in the UK [published by Gollancz]. All three books will be published in the US [Berkley Ace] starting Spring 2010. Books 1 and 2 will be published in Germany [Goldmann] Sept, 2009 and April, 2010; and Russia [Azbooka] in the next eighteen months.

The Sweet Scent of Blood - from the back cover
'My name is Genny Taylor. I work for Spellcrackers.com. It’s a great job, pays the rent, lets me do the thing I’m good at – finding magic and cracking it – and the bonus is it’s run by witches, which stops the vamps from taking a bite out of me.
Not that vampires are the big bad any more, not since they launched a slick PR campaign – oh, and they brought the goblins on board. Now the vamps are sought-after celebrities, and Getting Fanged and taking the Gift are the new height of all things cool.
But only if you’re human.
And I’m not.
I’m Sidhe fae.
And I know firsthand just how deadly a vampire can be.’
When Mr October, a sexy calendar pin-up vamp, is accused of murdering his girlfriend, an old debt is called in and Genny is forced to help prove his innocence, risking her job and the protection it offers – and threatening to expose her own dark secrets. Searching for the killer plunges Genny deep into the hidden heart of vampire society. It’s not long before she realises that she and Mr October are both unwitting pawns in a centuries-old power struggle between London’s non-human communities . . . and it’s not just her own neck that’s at stake, but the lives of all London’s supernaturals.
The Cold Kiss of Death - July 2009
Genny’s got a whole heap of problems to deal with; she’s being haunted by an abused ghost, her witch neighbour wants her evicted, and her sort-of-Ex – and now her new boss – can’t decide whether he wants their relationship to be business or pleasure, not to mention the queue of vamps all inviting her to paint the town red! But then her problems take an even worse turn when one of her human friends is murdered using sidhe magic. Not only is she determined to hunt down the killer before they kill again, but she ends being hunted herself, and not just by the police, but from some of London’s most dangerous and powerful supernaturals.

I live in the UK about a mile from the sea with my husband and two rescue dogs and we all share our garden with a colony of pipistrelle [we think] bats.
I love meeting new friends on LJ, so feel free to add me, or un-add me as you wish. If I friended you, it may be we have friends or interests in common or I just love your posts.
