Unhinged Release!!!

Hey everyone! So my new Teen Paranormal book, Unhinged, is finally out!!! So sorry for the long wait! I've never fallen more in love with a project before; these characters have really grown on me, and I hope that you all end up loving it just as much! This book is a story all about a girl trying to cope with the loss of a loved one, who ends up doing the unthinkable and finding a way into the Underworld of Greek myth in order to try and get him back. Of course, she runs into Hades while there, ends up making a deal with him, and in the process puts her and a million other lives in harms way. Below is the cover, a blurb, and links to where you can purchase this book as well as the goodreads page:

Spencer Perry lost everything the day her boyfriend died. Even when he came back as a ghost, she was never able to return to her old self. Determined to find a way to bring both of them back--him from the dead and her from her depression--Spencer hops a ride with a Reaper across the river to the Underworld where she meets the god of the dead. Hadrian isn't what she expected Hades to be like, but when he agrees to a deal that can get her Micah back, she puts all caution aside and accepts. Too bad she didn't realize that she'd also just accepted a lot more than one gorgeous yet frustrating god. Bad things are happening all around her, and now she not only has to worry about keeping Micah's ghost status a secret from their friends, but also figure out who's behind all of the accidents. All signs point towards Hadrian, but something about that just doesn't feel right to her. Something that she hopes has nothing to do with her growing attraction towards him.

Unhinged Cover Release + Giveaway

My new book, Unhinged, is finished! It still needs to go through my editor so won't be available for at least a few weeks, but I'm so excited I figured I'd do something to celebrate! :) So, along with this cover release, I'm offering up a giveaway for three ebook copies of the book! Join below through rafflecopter and possibly be one of the first who gets to read it! For some reason, I loved writing this book more then I have many of my others. I just fell in love with the characters and I hope that you all do as well. This started out as just a single project, a story that I've needed to tell for a while but just kept brushing aside. That might be why the characters refused to keep it to a single books length. This is now going to be the first book in a series called The Underworld Saga. Also, for those of you who don't already know via past posts, this is a teen paranormal book loosely based off of the Persephone Greek myth. Without further ado, here's the blurb, cover, and the giveaway! Let me know what you guys think!

Too bad she didn't realize that she'd also just accepted a lot more then one gorgeous yet frustrating god.

News News News! (Including info on new book)!

So I have a ton to share with all of you (including ways you can win free books)! There are also going to be a LOOOT of links, so prepare to be bombarded!!! I'd like to start off by just mentioning that I'm a featured author in the Goodreads group, Fantasy and Vampire Book Club!

I'd just like to thank Adele for conducting the interview and giving me the chance to share some information about me :)

In other news, my book review blog, The Window Seat, recently got a goodreads group page, so if you haven't already you should go and join! Here's the link to that: http://www.goodreads.com/group/show/92987-paranormal-and-fantasy-in-the-window-seat and even better is the fact that we're also hosting a Cover Contest! Enter and you can possibly win book prizes!!! Here's a link straight to that: http://readinginthewindowseat.blogspot.com/2013/01/cover-contest-prize-givaway.html . This contest lasts all through February!

Turn Me On has so far received so pretty good reviews so I just wanted to take a moment to thank all of you who've read and reviewed it so far! I really appreciate all the great feedback I've been getting as well as the time you've all taken to leave reviews so that others will see what you've thought.

Now for my last bit of news, those of you who also follow The Window Seat Blog have already heard about this new book I've been working on but I have yet to mention anything about it here. I've been waiting until I was sure I was fully invested in it before saying anything, but now that I'm over one hundred pages in...well, clearly I am. Unhinged is a book separate from any of my series which is sort of a retelling of the Persephone myth. I've always loved Greek mythology and always told myself I would eventually get around to writing a book revolving around it. I don't have a blurb yet, but do have a cover. Sorry to say, I won't show you that until a little closer to release date which I haven't quite figured out yet. I'm not even half way done with writing it, and then it's got to go through my editor and what not so...It won't be AT LEAST till March. I'll keep you posted on that. I'll also be adding a page here for my editor so any of you looking for someone to edit your work can check her out! She's very good and great to work with! I'll have more on that later. Like I said, I don't have an official blurb, however, I will tell you a little bit more about it so below I've placed a temporary "blurb". ;)

Spencer Perry lost everything the day her boyfriend died. Even when he came back as a ghost, she was never able to return to her old self. Determined to find a way to bring both of them back--him from the dead and her from her depression--Spencer inadvertently hops a ride with a grim reaper to the Underworld where she meets the god of the dead. Hadrian isn't what she expected Hades to be like, but when he agrees to a deal that can get her Micah back, she puts all caution aside and accepts. Too bad she didn't realize that she'd also just accepted a lot more then one gorgeous yet frustrating god. Bad things are happening all around her, and now she not only has to worry about keeping Micah's ghost status a secret from their friends, but also figure out who's behind all of the accidents. All signs point towards Hadrian, but something about that just doesn't feel right to her. Something that she hopes has nothing to do with her growing attraction towards him.

Well, there you have it. It's very rough, but it gives you all an idea of what to look forward to in Unhinged! :)

Echo Island R2R (Chance to read for FREE)

I figured I'd let you all know that my book, Echo Island is currently being offered up in a Read 2 Review on one of the goodreads groups! It's a paranormal romance novel, and part of my Mirror Warrior series. However, it does not need to be read in any certain order, so if you haven't read the first book before, don't worry. This one has a completly different story line with different characters that happen to live in the same world. :) Here's a blurb, and at the very bottom a link where you can go sign up and get your free copy! Thanks in advanced to anyone who checks it out!

Blurb:

Having been alive for seven hundred years, Cassandra Anders has made giving into her carnal needs a dirty habit. She's been using men since the day she was turned, and loving every second of it. Known by most Mirror Warriors, or supernatural beings, as a bit of a party girl, it's no surprise to anyone when she instantly starts up a new fling with a shapeshifter during this century's Fundur, a meeting including members of all supernatural sects.

Harper Donnelly might just be in the market for a little pleasure himself, and he's never been with a vampire before. But just as things are starting to heat up between the two of them, other Fundur attendees start disappearing, or worse. Now not only does he have to figure out his feelings, keep out of the way of a jealous demon, but also figure out whose attacking them all before he or Cass end up being next.

Can these two survive their trip to the island long enough to see if what's between them is real? Or will they die before they ever get the chance?

Turn Me On Release!!!

Hi all! My NaNoWriMo novel, Turn Me On is now available for purchase!!! I exceeded the 50,000 word mark (you can see by how much in the top left corner)! For those of you who don't know what this book is about I've included a blurb below. Also included is a link to where the book can be purchased for any e-reading device. Go get your copy now while it's only $0.99!!!! :) This is a paranormal romance book, and a stand alone novel which does not connect with any of my other series. This is the perfect chance to check out my work for a low price! Those of you who do, please try and leave an honest review on goodreads after you're done reading! Goodreads reviews really do matter and they really help to spread the word.

Blurb:

Some people have the ability to walk through the minds of others. While this is happening, the assaulted mind processes the events as actually occurring, which means they can get hurt. Or even killed. Telepathy is well known throughout the world, but no one knows who has it, and who doesn't, not even a telepath themselves. The only way to find out is by being Turned On, an event that only happens when an active T.P has entered the mind of an inactive one. Troy Lexin has been Turned On since he was eight. Stolen from his family in the middle of the night and forced to become a Switch--deadly assassin--Troy's secret goal is to get revenge on the man who did this to him. The plan is going smoothly when he accidentally activates a girl he meets at strip club, who then tells him about a secret weapon the resistance is holding that can somehow block out T.Ps. If the Switches get their hands on the tech, they would become unstoppable, which is why she suggests they take it first. No matter how badly his instincts tell him not to trust her, Troy's attraction to Rayna Kinner is starting to block everything else out. But does is she who she says she is? Or is there a darker secret she's keeping from Troy? One that could not only destroy his plan for revenge, but also the world as he knows it.

I have started working on the second book in the Coven trilogy as well, for those of you who've been patiently waiting!

Happy New Years!

Hey everyone! So it's been a while since I posted anything so I figured why not start the New Years off with something, right?! :) Anywho, hope everyone is well (and for those of you who are in areas with snow, keeping warm)! Just a quick reminder, the third book in the Dreamer trilogy is out now and available for only $2.99! You can get your copy by clicking on the cover image for Amid the Roar on the right sidebar. Also, my NaNoWriMo novel for this year will be available soon! It's currently going through the editing process so...I'll keep you posted so keep coming back to check.

In other news, I'm working on the first stand alone book in the Three Realm Series, which revolves around Flynn and a mortal girl named Emma. Those of you who loved the characters from the Dreamer trilogy won't want to miss this one! ;) That's all I'm willing to divulge at this point. I've decided that I'm going to be holding a contest pretty soon. Maybe even two. We'll see. The first will last a few months and involve giving away some goodies, while the second...who knows. For those of you who don't know, I run a book review blog with my best friend called, The Window Seat Blog (the link of which can be found at the bottom left). We're thinking about holding a cover contest where we present you all with a cover (probably created by us) and you give us a cool/funky/awesome/unique title. There will be prizes, we just haven't decided what yet. Again, keep checking back for news about that one. :) I'll have details about the other contest probably by the end of this week or tonight...depends on how I feel and what I can come up with. I know for a fact that one of the prizes will be a necklace just like the main characters' in the Dreamer trilogy, Lily.

Let me know if you're interested (that'll speed up the whole putting everything together process because it'll motivate me) by leaving a comment. Thanks to everyone who's been following and for everyone who's checked out the trilogy or any of my other works!
