I recently came across the original cover letter from Lili’s agent in 2004. That’s when I still had @twbg as part of my email!!  I remember looking at this letter — on letterhead, back before all manuscripts were emailed – and putting a note on it for my Editorial Director at the time. I remember I drew little stars on it (What? I was an Assistant Editor! I thought that’s what you did when you wanted to buy something!)  and I wrote something to the effect of “I love this. Give it to me!” Hm. Perhaps not in those exact words… but that was the gist.

In her letter, Lii’s agent wrote, “A dark urban fantasy that feels like it could have come from the pen of Laurell Hamilton or Kim Harrison, this novel conjures up a dark, sexy magical world, and a heroine tough enough to survive in it.” It is now seven years later and we’ve compiled the Dante Valentine series into one sexy omnibus for those fans who haven’t yet read Lili — or who want to read her again in one go.

Included in this omnibus edition are: Working for the Devil, Dead Man Rising, The Devil’s Right Hand, Saint City Sinners, and To Hell and Back.

Necromancer. Bounty hunter. Killer.

Dante Valentine has been all three in her life.  But in the beginning, she was a Necromancer for hire. And while she was choosy about her jobs, there were just some she couldn’t turn down.  Like when the Devil showed up at the door and offered her a deal.  Her life — in exchange for the capture and elimination of a renegade demon.  But how do you kill something that can’t die?

Dante Valentine (US/UK) is available now in the US and next month in the UK. The last book in the Jill Kismet series, Angel Town, will be published this Fall 2011 (US).
