Among the Departed - First chapter and pre-ordering

I've put the prologue to Among the Departed up on the web page (www.vickidelany.com) along with pre-order information. The book will be released on May 3rd. Poisoned Pen Press has made the ARC available to bloggers, reviewers, bookstore owners, librarians etc at Net Galley. So if you are in that exhaulted company and would like to review Among the Departed, please go click here. Kirkus has reviewed it, and this is what they have to say.

Delany (Negative Image, 2010, etc.) invigorates the cozy genre with an unsparing look at love in all its variations, including coming to terms with it the second time around.

Can I have your vote?

I was thrilled to discover that Negative Image is one of the five finalists for a CBC bookies award for excellence in genre fiction. You might have heard of some of the other finalists, The Girl WHo Kicked the Hornets's Nest anyone? Well the final voting is open to the public, and if you liked Negative Image I'd just love it if you could give me a vote. You don't have to be Canadian. You don't even have to watch or listen to the CBC. Here's the link where you can see the other finalists and vote. Click Here
