The title of Faith Hunter’s 14th Jane Yellowrock urban fantasy novel has been confirmed! Yesterday, in an exclusive interview for Monster Complex, author Faith Hunter shared with me that she had gotten confirmation from her publisher for the book title of the next book in her urban fantasy series starring Cherokee shape-shifter and vampire-killer-for-hire Jane Yellowrock.
“I offered my editor several choices,” she told me, “and she came back with some other suggestions, and marketing just approved the title for book fourteen.”
The title of next Jane Yellowrock novel will be True Dead. The book is still being written, and is not currently on the publishing scheduled. Faith introduced Jane Yellowrock in 2009’s Skinwalker. The most recent book in the series is Shattered Bonds. Find the entire list to date of Jane Yellowrock urban fantasy book here.

Faith tells me:
“Jane started out as a sort of ‘paranormal biker chick-meets-Lee Child’s Jack Reacher.’ She was this socially insecure, awkward woman who, when she was five years old, accidentally did some black magic and absorbed the soul of a mountain lion. Coming to terms with that cat is a part of what helps Jane to grow through the entire series…
“That’s the internal conflict. Then you’ve got the external conflict that Jane, who kills insane vampires who are killing humans—that’s what she does, she tracks them and kills them—by the time we’re in book fourteen, she has not only been working for the vampires to keep peace in the vampire community because that keeps her friends, the witches, and humans safe, but she also has found a position of power among them. She goes from hating them to working with her worst enemy.”
