“As the title implies, Inferno is utterly hot! It is a steamy story, well-told and masterfully peopled with Vivi Anna’s complex characters. Although I haven’t read Hell Kat, I had no problem at all following the plot of this one. Vivi Anna does a great job of weaving the threads of the original story and of Kat and Hades’ history into this tale, still, I can’t stand not knowing all the sultry little details, so I am picking up a copy of the original story and waiting with baited breath for the next installment. This is simply a great book. I am definitely looking forward to Kat’s further dark adventures.” - Beverly

I’m extremely pleased with this review, as AAR doesn’t give out many DIK. Actually they give out very few. And even less to erotic romance.

So needless to say…I’m walking on air!

Also, they conduct an annual reader’s poll there every year. It’s going on right now. So you want to submit a ballot for your favorite romances of 2006, go on over there and do so. Make your voice heard.

They have the interim results up and Inferno has made the list in several categories. Best Erotic Romance, best kick-ass heroine, best heroine, best couple, and best alternate romance. Very cool indeed!!

Check it out at AAR.

I’m so excited about this trailer. My web goddess Frauke created it for me, and I couldn’t be more pleased. It captures the essence of the book completely.

You can see it here.

INFERNO is released November 28th.

This is what RT had to say:

Combine two star-crossed lovers, a deadly virus, a passel of Dark Dwellers, and an underground nemesis bent on destruction and you get one heck of an adventure. This follow-up to Hell Kat will have you cheering for the good guys all over again — and laughing out loud while you do it! A fun, sexy romp that leaves you crying out for more. - Lisa Kelly

I’m getting excited about the release. The official date is November 28, but I’m betting it gets to stores earlier than that. So, if you see INFERNO out there, give me a shout out!

I’ve gotten a replacement cover for INFERNO. What do you think?

I’m having a discussion about it over on my blog, check it out here!

“Ms. Anna has written a stirring love story with a courageous heroine and a determined hero. Their obvious passion for each other fuels the indomitable spirit they show in the dire circumstances that they find themselves in. Hardheaded, sexy and always thinking describes Kat as she finally admits her admiration and trust for the giant muscle bound man called Hades. Hades façade hides the gentle man with the tender and sensitive heart that sings for Kat alone. I became spellbound with Ms. Anna’s prose as she weaves an alien post apocalyptic world with strange and mutant life forms both human and animal. Her characters will ensnare you with their depth of feeling. I am thoroughly enchanted with Hell Kat and cannot wait for another installment.” - Kathy, Reviewer for Coffee Time Romance

“WOW!! The continuing adventure of Hell Kat and Hades in this post-apocalyptic world makes for great reading…Ms. Anna has a deft touch and knows her characters well enough to introduce them to her readers. This is by no means a joyous book-it is very dark and scary, but the plot and the characters kept me reading. I was quite eager to see how Ms. Anna was going to resolve the variety of threads she was dangling and I wasn’t disappointed. Inferno left me with a strong desire to read more of Vivi Anna’s work. In addition, I hope that this is not the last that we see of Kat and Hades.” -

Thank you Marcy!! Inferno is due out end of November. You can pre-order it now for Amazon or Barnes and Noble!

This is in homage to that cute Asian businessman four doors down from my room at Nationals in Atlanta. OMG, he was cute! And he had a drop-dead smile. And he reminded me of this HAWT man, Jet Li!

My regret is that we didn’t get to hook up…mmmm, that would have made my conference experience one hell of a wild ride!!

Isn’t it freakin’ awesome!!!

I LOVE LOVE it!

Here’s the blurb:

The sexiest, smartest, leather-clad hell-raiser ever to walk the post-Apocalyptic Earth is always on the prowl for enemies and sexual conquests. But now Kat is chasing something very different–and far more dangerous. She’s caught a killer virus and only one man has the cure–a scientist called Onyx who dwells in the deadly city of Inferno. If she’s going to make there alive, she’ll need the help of Hades, her favorite lover–a man who’s big, mean, and hotter than hell. But he won’t help her for free–he wants her body and her heart, and he’s not going to settle for anything less than a lifetime of pleasure. Because once they enter the Inferno, they may never come out again…

Coming DECEMBER 2006!
