Welcome to Biting-Edge, a blog shared by authors and vampire experts, Mario Acevedo and Jeanne Stein. We’ll cover urban fantasy, vampires, pop culture, and all things Joss Whedon. Unlike other fantasy blogs, we don’t insist on body cavity searches (unless you ask politely). Snarkiness is most welcome...though we won't promise not to bite back!

Jim Butcher, New Star Trek, Much Ado About Nothing, and other good stuff
For you Jim Butcher fans from mediabistro:
The Dresden Files novelist Jim Butcher has inked a seven figure deal for three books in a new steampunk series.
The Cinder Spires series will begin with The Aeronaut’s Windlass. Publishers Weekly broke the news, reporting that Donald Maass Literary agent Jennifer Jackson negotiated the deal with Anne Sowards.
Here’s more from Butcher’s official site: At the Reddit AMA a few months ago, Jim said, “It’s kinda League of Extraordinary Gentlemen meets Sherlock meets Hornblower. There are goggles and airships and steam power and bizarre crystal technology and talking cats, who are horrid little bullies.” Jim is still writing the first book, The Aeronaut’s Windlass, so we don’t have a release date yet. We’ll let you know as soon as there’s something to announce!
In case you ever wondered...video below from galleycat:

I screwed up and thought I was publishing this THIS week and instead it got tacked on to last week's blog so I'm repeating it here:
This week: a new book deal for Jim Butcher and some vidya's (homage to Aaron Ritchey) for you to enjoy.
