Andy Duncan's novella, The Night Cache, was published in late 2009 by PS Publishing. The Night Cache is a World Fantasy Award nominee.
Here's some information about Andy Duncan:
Andy Duncan is the author of Beluthahatchie and Other Stories (Golden Gryphon Press, 2000) and The Night Cache (PS Publishing, 2009). He has also edited Crossroads: Tales of the Southern Literary Fantastic (with F. Brett Cox, Tor Books, 2004).
Andy Duncan's website can be found here and his blog can be found here.
Here's the official description of The Night Cache from the publisher's website:
From Andy Duncan, master of the Southern tall tale, author of the acclaimed Beluthahatchie, a new novelette about lesbian love, cryptography, and signals from beyond the grave...
When Jenny, lowly cashier for a certain major book store chain, flirts with female customers, it is not in the expectation of lasting romance. But at last one of them reciprocates sincerely, and a deep love is born, as if predestined, and indeed Jenny's new lover is called Destiny, Destiny Creech, initiate in an eccentric subculture that hunts carefully concealed caches by means of GPS readings, coded co-ordinates, and oddball intuition. The happiness of the two persists for a time, but when death sunders the partnership, the living and the departed must find one another again, and now the clues are cryptic indeed...
The Night Cache is Andy Duncan at his witty best, and a fine foretaste of his upcoming collection from PS Publishing, The Pottawatomie Giant and other Stories.

Helen Lowe's The Heir of Night will be published September 28, 2010 by Eos (an imprint of HarperCollins Publishers). The Heir of Night is the first book of The Wall of Night series.
Helen Lowe's official website can be found here.
Here's the description of The Heir of Night from the back cover of the Advance Readers Edition:
IF NIGHT FALLS, ALL FALL...
In the far north of the world of Haarth lies the bitter mountain range known as the Wall of Night. Garrisoned by the Nine Houses of the Derai, the Wall is the final bastion between the peoples of Haarth and the Swarm of Dark – which the Derai have been fighting across worlds and time.
Malian, Heir to the House of Night, knows the history of her people: the unending war with the Darkswarm; the legendary heroes, blazing with long-lost power; the internal strife that has fractured the Derai's former strength. But now the Darkswarm is rising again, and Malian's destiny as Heir of Night is bound inextricably to both ancient legend and any future the Derai – or Haarth – may have.
