A CIRCLE OF FLAMES is here!

Hi everyone!

Just wanted to let you know that A Circle of Flames (the Kingmakers' War #4) is finally available in the Amazon store!

You can grab a copy here: A Circle of Flames (The Kingmakers' War Book 4)

Friday, January 12, 2018

And the title (and cover!) of the Kingmakers' War book #4 is...

Hi everyone!

Lots of news today.

First things first. I have slightly reworked the covers of the Kingmakers' War series. And I love them! I kept the same images but went with a "swashier" font, which is what I wanted originally. I enjoy tweaking my covers when I have multiple books to play with--it gives me the ability to built a cohesion among the covers that I can only guess at when designing the first book in the series (since the covers are somewhat informed by their contents).

So, first... the new covers!


And now, the new title and cover of book #4!


Second piece of news! A Circle of Flames is coming out THIS MONTH! :) :) :) I told you guys you wouldn't have to wait as long this time.

Stay tuned for a summary and, of course, for the book release itself!

Frost is now a game! And you can play it for FREE!

Hi everyone,

Lots going on.

First, I have some exciting news! Back in the summer, I was approached by Delight Games about the company acquiring the text game rights to Frost.

Now, I'm happy to tell you that the app "choices game" version of Frost is available for play!


Are you an Android user? Get it on Google Play.

Are you an Apple user? Coming soon!!

(You can also get it on Amazon.)

To celebrate the game's release, Frost is on sale this week at 99 cents. So if you haven't read it yet, now is a great time to grab a copy at:

Amazon
Nook
Kobo
Google Play
iBooks
Goodreads



In the frozen world of the Frost, only mysterious blue flowers that bloom in the snow keep the monsters at bay. The air is icy cold. It's easy to get lost. One wrong move and a person could end up dead.

Lia Weaver knows this better than anyone.

After monsters kill her parents, Lia must keep the family farm running in their place. She follows the rules of the village: Don't talk to outsiders. Don't go into the Frost at night. Don't ask too many questions. Rules keep her family alive in this harsh and unforgiving world.

But when her sister finds a handsome fugitive bleeding to death in the forest at dusk, Lia surprises herself and does the unthinkable.

She saves his life.
 
Other news!



I promised you guys I would not take as long to release the next book as I did the last. I'm happy to announce that I am roughly halfway through book #4 in the Kingmakers' War. Be on the lookout for a title, cover, and some teaser quotes in the near future. I'm hoping for a January release. :)

And lastly, my fellow author Lea Doue is having a giveaway through Dec 15th!


The Firethorn Chronicles Prize Pack Giveaway:

New Book Coming Soon!

Wow, it's been a long time since I've posted. I've been sequestered away, hiding from the summer heat like a vampire and writing books and bargaining with my creative muse. (She mostly responds to chocolate doughnuts.)

Lots of things in the works for fall and winter... Some I'll get to another day, but I wanted to announce that I've been writing a new YA thriller, ALL HER SECRETS, and you can pre-order it now!

Here's the cover.






And here's the book blurb:



Nothing is as it seems in this psychological YA thriller set in a not-too-distant future.

A GIRL WITH SECRETS

Eighteen-year-old Victoria, the daughter of robotics genius Bill Faraday, is home from college for the weekend to confront her father about a secret he’s been keeping when she’s kidnapped out of her parents’ luxury mountain home.

A GUY FROM THE WRONG SIDE OF THE TRACKS

Eighteen-year-old Sam is just a poor kid from Valley City, but he knows who Victoria is as soon as his cousin Craig drags her from the trees. He doesn’t want anything to do with what appears to be a revenge kidnapping, but Craig has a gun and needs someone to take the fall if things go wrong.

A DESPERATE PLAN TO SURVIVE

Craig and his buddies imprison Sam and Victoria in an abandoned mountain cabin with the assurance that they’ll be ransomed soon. But weeks pass, and Sam and Victoria worry they’ve been left for dead. Putting aside mistrust for tentative friendship, Victoria and Sam conspire to escape together, and the close quarters and forced teamwork ignite a startling attraction between them. Then they discover strange cave tunnels beneath the cabin. And what they find inside the tunnels gets more and more bizarre.

With a plan in place to escape, freedom seems within reach. But unrevealed secrets from Victoria’s past are coming back to haunt her.

New Frost Book!

Hi everyone,

I've got a fun announcement!

So for a while now I've wanted to write Ann's side of the story from the Frost Chronicles. A LOT of things happen behind the scenes for her, and I think it's pretty interesting. So those of you who loved the Frost, it's coming back!


Storm and Glass will follow both Ann and Korr, and it is super spoilery for the other books in the series, so... while it can be read alone, I think you'd probably want to read the others first.

I'm not entirely sure right now when the book will release, so you can sign up for the New Releases Newsletter to be notified, or check with the blog as I will post more information as I know. Everything is a little slower than I'd like, but mostly that is due to my teething, crawling baby. I

In other news, I have a cover for the sequel to A Gift of Poison. Stay tuned for that to be revealed along with a summary and title soon.

PS ~ How is it already November?

The Season of Lightning is Available!

Hi everyone!

Well, The Season of Lightning beat my (human) baby out into the world. It's now available for purchase on Amazon, for Nook, and coming very soon in print on Amazon (available now in print here).


This is my favorite book I've written. I hope you all enjoy it very much. Meanwhile, I'll be lying on the couch waiting to go into labor.

Here's a quick refresher on the summary:

Emma meets Robin Hood in an antebellum-esque fantasy set in the same world as A Gift of Poison.
Verity Elysius is the only daughter of a famous retired general and rich plantation owner. She lives in an insulated world of wealth and privilege, where she spends her time riding her horse, sassing her lady's companion, and being tormented by the family's handsome but irritating nobleman friend, Lord Roth. But when a mysterious, masked vigilante called the Hawk begins stirring up trouble and freeing silvras, the oppressed lower class, Verity's world is turned upside down as she is challenged about everything she knows about her world and her place in it.

Hi readers!


I juuuuuust released a new novel in between working on my latest in the Secrets of Itlantis series.

It's pretty simple: enter to win by doing one of the requirements, and you could be mentioned in the dedication of my next book.

NEW RELEASE A Gift of Poison available now!

A Gift of Poison is here!!



As the orphaned niece of a cruel lord, Briand is the scapegoat of the castle. She has few friends and even fewer options, and every day is a struggle to stay ahead of trouble caused by malicious guards and irritable castle servants.

Briand is set to be banished to the wildlands, a death sentence, when she when she accidentally unlocks a hidden power and involves herself in a rebel plot and her life abruptly changes.

Imprisoned in the company of a band of rebels, Briand must do what seems impossible: call up sleeping dragons in the north. But the fearsome Prince's assassins called Seekers are looking for her, Briand doesn't know if she can trust the mysterious, enigmatic rebel leader Kael, and there might be a traitor in the rebels' midst.


I truly love this book, you guys. I wrote it a few years ago and decided to revisit it this summer and revise it for release. I have a crush on Kael, and a deep and abiding love for a couple of the other characters that makes them some of my favorites I've ever written. This book a bit of a love letter to my teen reader self, who loved girl-power fantasy books like The Blue Sword and Crown Duel.

Also, I've enrolled it (for now) in Kindle Unlimited/Lending Library, so if you're a prime member you can read it for FREE.

Cover reveal and synopsis for BY SUN AND SALTWATER!

Hi everyone!

Today I have the cover for book #2 in the Secrets of Itlantis series, By Sun and Saltwater. (UPDATE: it's available now!!)



...


...


...



And the synopsis:



Aemi has a new life beneath the sea in the world of Itlantis, but all is hardly idyllic—her assimilation into Itlantean society is fraught with accusations and rumors, those closest to her are keeping deadly secrets, and most frightening of all, someone is trying to kill her.

Desperate for answers, Aemi and her friends set off to find answers in Arctus, the Ice City, but they might uncover more than they bargained for in the process.

A TITLE for Secrets of Itlantis #2 + some announcements!

Hey everyone!

Couple of updates on book series old and new:


Due to part of an arrangement I've made with Amazon, the Frost series is now available in the Kindle Lending Library! This means that if you have Amazon Prime, you can borrow them for free! The downside, Nook readers, is that they are going to be unavailable for a short while at Barnes and Noble. They should be back by the summer, though.

Also, new release in the Frost world. Or an old release, rather. SURVIVAL LESSONS, a short story that originally appeared in the anthology DARKEST WORLDS, is now available on Amazon. You can get it here.

In other news, I am now in revisions for the sequel to Of Sea and Stone. Annnnd I have a title to announce.

And I'm also going to be releasing a bundle of the Frost novellas and this short story, so if you buy all three together you can save some $$$.




In other news, regarding the new series SECRETS OF ITLANTIS:

The second book in the Secrets of Itlantis series will be called:

BY SUN AND SALTWATER.

The cover should be available in a few weeks, so stay tuned for that. I have some other cool deals and news coming down the pipe this month, so be sure to check back. In the meantime, happy reading!
