Releases: Prince of Spies releases in ebook formats on February 6th from Samhain Publishing. We'll be celebrating all day on my Yahoo group with a multi-author chat party, so drop by for a chance to win prizes and read excerpts from a lot of your favorite authors. Over 28 authors from a multitude of publishers have promised to stop by, so it promises to be a big party!

New Sales: FireDrake, Book 5 in my ongoing Dragon Knights series, has been sold to Samhain Publishing.

Other Items of Interest: The D'Arc Side website has undergone a radical re-design. Check out the new, easier to read format. It's also much easier to navigate now, with graphical links to each of the four sister sites -- the ones devoted to the Dragon Knights series, all my Paranormal Tales, my different sci fi series under the FutureWorlds heading and my beloved Military Men. It also features a more coherent grouping of pages on the main site, separated into pages about my Books, a section about me as an Author, and a whole slew of pages designed with the Readers in mind.

Check out the new site design at www.biancadarc.com. Click on "Readers" and there you will find pages of Puzzles, desktop Wallpaper, a link to my Blog, a whole page of Links to some of my favorite people and places, plus a schedule of upcoming Events, and the Contest listing for the month. Click on "Books" and now you'll find a separate page for those books Available Now -- separated by Print or Ebook, as well as a printable (text-only) Bibliography of all my books with pertinent information, and a printable list of just the Print books. There's also a Coming Soon page that lists what's up next and a completely new page that lists each book in its proper Series.

4.5 Blue Ribbons From Romance Junkies! Contessa said: "FOREVER VALENTINE is a wonderfully romantic story that will set your soul on fire and leave you breathless with yearning passion...The chemistry between the couple is sizzling and erotic in nature. Bianca D’Arc has done an outstanding job of creating a world that is perfectly balanced with compelling characters, a bit of mystery, and some mega hot love scenes. I loved reading this book!"

4 Red Tattoos from Erotic Escapades! Megan said: "Soul shattering emotions and edgy drama combine in the colorful world created by Ms. D'Arc, along with the fascinating journey that will hold you enthralled to the last page of Forever Valentine. I was surprised the immense heat created when the pair came together didn't cause the pages to spontaneously combust however, it will certainly cause some fogged up glasses and squirming in your seat. With more of Jena's friends still single and many vampire males seeking their “One and Only” I can't wait to see what Ms. D'Arc comes up with next."

4 Kisses from Two Lips Reviews! Cat said: "This is a spicy and sexy Valentine’s Day surprise. Ian and Jena are characters I immediately identified with and the story seems very full given the fact that it is a novella. Bianca D’Arc may be a new author, but she is rapidly becoming one of my favorites!"

4 Stars from Just Erotic Romance Reviews! Claire Skyesaid: "With an interesting premise and intriguing characters, Lords of the Were has all the makings of a wonderful paranormal erotic romance...Filled with myriad ethereal fantasy beings and magical connections between the characters, Lords of the Were offers a look at a paranormal world. This beautifully executed novel offers plenty of steamy potential for the installments to come."

Trang Black at The Road To Romance said: "...the plot will keep your interest right up until the end. Lords of the Were has fabulous characters and a twisting, turning, engaging plot, making this is one tale you don’t want to miss!"

5 Angels from Fallen Angel Reviews! Tammy said: "Rare Vintage by Bianca D’Arc is a compelling, sensual story that will leave readers needing a good cooling off. The characters in this story are incredibly developed for such a short story and extremely appealing. This is one book you won’t want to put down until you have read every last word, which is just what I did."

6 of 6 Magical Wands from Enchanted Ramblings! Tralana said: "All I can say is this book makes me want to go find the rest of Ms. D’arc’s writing and devour it. It is a well written, wonderful story that fits very well in a series, or stands on its own. There are plots and subplots that all get worked through to a satisfying conclusion, but still leave plenty room for further exploration in future books. I will definitely be looking for the first book, and all succeeding ones."

5 Magical Wands from Enchanted Ramblings! Tralana said: "This was a quick, fun, hot read. The sex was long and frequent, and did I mention hot? Don’t get me wrong, there was a story and plot here, too, and it was definitely an enjoyable read. Ms. D’Arc never fails to meet my expectations of her, and this short story was no exception."
