Unhinged + Unleashed Exclusive Cover Reveals!!!

I thought about releasing these separately, but decided against it. For one, the book boxes that include these exclusive covers are already on sale, so the longer I waited to show you, the less of a chance you had of actually getting to purchase one! Besides, I'm also not that cruel, to dangle one in front of you and without the other...


via GIPHY

So, hopefully by now we've all already seen the original covers, but, if you haven't you can take a look over on the left sidebar. The covers, as well as links to where both books can be purchased, are there! BUT if you haven't yet gotten your copy of Unhinged, you might want to consider getting the Polyethnic VIP book box instead, because it comes with copies of BOTH the first and second books in this series, AND it comes with the exclusive covers I will be showing you in a moment!

Before I do that however, I'd like to mention the current giveaway going on! You can either check the previous post below after you're done reading this one, click the page on the right sidebar that says Current Giveaways, or just let me give you a quick recap! This giveaway is for (4) paperback books published/soon to be published by the Polyethnic Publishing! One winner will receive all four, as well as bookmarks and signed bookplates by all of the authors whose books are included! This is a one time box offer, and there can only be one winner! There are a ton of different ways to enter, and there's also a FREE entry! So be sure to check it out, because everyone loves giveaways and getting free stuff, right?!


via GIPHY

Speaking of free stuff, I still have a few bookplates available! If you're interested in receiving one from me, for free, please leave a comment either here or on the original post! Quick tip: All of my previous posts can be easily accessed by clicking on the past posts section on the lower right side bar! This will help if your just curious to check out past posts, or if you're looking for something in particular--like the original post about free bookplates and how to get one! Again, I've only got a few of these left so if interested act fast!

And now for the moment you've all been waiting for (well, at least if you didn't cheat by scrolling down already...)! Let me just say, that I absolutely LOVE these covers! They're very different from the original covers, which I think only adds to the appeal because they are exclusives! There's only one way to get them, and once they're gone, they're gone! I'll do them one at a time. Here is the new exclusive cover for Unhinged:



Holy Crap, right?! Hadrian is HOT! I absolutely love this cover, every single thing about it! Fun fact, I helped Melissa (who created these two covers herself) pick the stock photo for this one! I loved this image of the guy covered in what looked like Underworld Ash, and I think the hands are such a spooky nice touch. Plus, his blue eyes, am I right? Everything else Melissa did herself, and she did such a fantastic job! I can't wait to get my hands on a physical copy of this!!!

And here is the big Unleashed cover reveal...


AH! Look at Spencer! I didn't have any hand in this one, which Melissa created first. Isn't it beautiful? I love that it has this somewhat eerie feel to it, perfect for this series! I also love the colors and the font! I think these two make such a beautiful set, and I am so excited to have them showcased on my bookshelf and on my instagram!

So, to recap, these two gorgeous covers will ONLY BE AVAILABLE if you purchase one of the Polyethnic's VIP March "Be Our Guest" boxes! Frustrating? Maybe. But it's the only way! After all, that's what makes them exclusive, right?


via GIPHY

You can find a link to the purchase page these in a previous post, or by clicking on the original cover image for Unleashed on the left sidebar. There is also a regular box, which is a little cheaper than the VIP, but that will only come with a paperback version of Unleashed. It will have the exclusive cover, but the ebook copy of Unhinged, which comes with it, will probably be the original cover. So, if you really want both of these (and, come on, who doesn't want that Hadrian cover, honestly?) purchasing a VIP box is the only way to do so! These boxes don't just come with books either, there's also a ton of other really fun and great items included! A few examples are bookmarks, prints, and chocolate! To make it easier for you, here's the link again to the VIP box purchase page:

http://store.thepolyethnic.com/product/vip-box/

The original covers will be available in stores (the first book, Unhinged, already is), so you'll be able to pick up a copy in either hardcover or paperback at Barnes and Noble, or even on Amazon! You did read that right, by the way. The original covers can be purchased in hardcover! If you haven't yet seen pictures of the first book in hardcover, go check out my instagram (or even previous posts)! It's so pretty! I'm crazy excited to add the hardcover copy of Unleashed to it. That's the best part, is that both of these different cover sets are so beautiful and unique! Personally, I'm definitely glad that I'll be getting both!

Side note: Some of you may have noticed that the original cover for Unleashed was altered yesterday. This is because we realized I had been given a slightly duller version, which unfortunately, was the one that was posted here and on goodreads.com. Now that it's corrected, you'll find that the colors are a lot brighter, and therefore, in my opinion, a lot better! I just think it's all around prettier.

Okay, so that should be it for now. I really hope you guys love and enjoy these exclusive covers as much as I do! And if you like both these and the original, why not buy both? A cheap way to do it is by getting the VIP box now, and then purchasing copies of the original covers later! There's no exact release date for Unleashed yet, but it will be coming out sometime in March, right after book boxes go out! We're still working at the design and actual book, so we don't want to give a set date just yet. But it will definitely be March, obviously, seeing as how this is the book for the months box!

All right, suggestion? Let's all scroll back up and stare some more at that Hadrian cover. Sigh. Thanks for reading guys! As always, questions and comments welcome! Let me know what you all think of the covers!!! Especially that Hadrian one. Damn. Am I right? Lol. ;)

Exclusive Polyethnic Giveaway!!!

I'm going to have some more news later this week (I've finally seen the first draft of the exclusive cover for Unleashed and can't wait to share!), but for now let's talk about Giveaways!!! It's been a while since I've hosted one here and not just one over on the Review Blog (a link to that can be found on the bottom right) so I figured it was far past time! For those of you who don't know already, I'm also giving away a few FREE bookplates! All you have to do is request one and look for my comment back! A few of you have already done so, so I only have about 5 left available! If you want one, you can leave a comment on this post AND gain an entry into the giveaway by doing so!

Anyway, without further ado, here is info on the giveaway:
via GIPHY

The Polyethnic, the publisher for my Underworld Series, has agreed to partake in a huge exclusive giveaway! There are a ton of different ways to enter, and a bunch of really awesome prizes, such as:

-(1) Paperback copy of Threatening Souls, by Nicole Lambert.
-(1) Paperback copy of Unleashed, by Chani Lynn Feener.
-(1) Paperback copy of Kinda, Sort Of by Kat Luke and Rachel Rozet.
-(1) ARC copy of Ryan & Julie by Melissa Futrell.
-Multiple Bookmarks.
-Other items to be added!

We'll be adding as the weeks progress, so be sure to check back here so you can get a look at what other items will be included! Again, this is a one time, exclusive box, similar to the Polyethnic Fandom Book Box that they sell. If you don't know about that, it's a monthly book box subscription that always comes with a book and a bunch of cool book related (and chocolate) items! If you're interested in checking that out, there are links in the post below! The theme for March is "Be Our Guest" in honor of the upcoming Beauty and the Beast movie, and will contain an exclusive covered version of my book, Unleashed!!!


via GIPHY

If you haven't yet read the first book, you can buy the VIP box and get paperback copies of both that and the second! AND they're both going to have exclusive covers that you can only get by purchasing this box! Or signing up for this giveaway and winning! :) BUT if you buy the box and win this giveaway and decide you don't want duplicate covers, let me know and I'll be happy to supply the original cover for you!

THAT MEANS that you can win an extra copy of this book and end up with both versions! Isn't that cool? I think it is. So, to recap:

One winner will receive an exclusive Polyethnic Book Box, which includes not (1), not (2), but at least (4) paperback books FOR FREE, as well as a couple other goodies like bookmarks, etc. There are ton of different ways you can enter for a chance to be that lucky winner, and even a couple that you can do daily to increase your chances! Excited?! We are!!!

The giveaway starts tomorrow, the 2nd, and lasts until the end of March, so don't waste any time! Also, remember to check back to get a glimpse of the exclusive cover for Unleashed, which I'm hoping to be able to reveal within the next couple of days!!!!!

Thanks for reading, guys!!! :)

Get Unleashed + Signed Bookplates!



Get 15% off your Polyethnic box with code: BeOurGuest, good until March 7th!

Hopefully most of you stopped by for the cover reveal at the beginning of the week! If not, here it is again! Isn't it great?! I love it, and can't wait for all of you to be able to hold a physical copy of it in your hands! One of the cool features about the Polyethnic Book Box is that they also offer up exclusive covers for their book selections. Unfortunately, at the moment I don't know what that exclusive cover looks like, but I'm sure it'll be just as brilliant as this one! I'm also very excited by your guys response about this book, more aptly, your response about Thayer. My best friend would be pleased (she called Thayer almost upon his creation years ago) but I'm really happy that you're all looking forward to seeing the God of Death in this book! For those of you who keep asking about him, here's a little spoiler, given in the form of, yup, you guessed it! A Kai Parker gif! Drum roll please....


via GIPHY

Anyway, like the post title says, there's already a way you can ensure you get a copy of this book ASIP (as soon as it's published, because it's not yet) and that's by purchasing one of the Polyethnic Book Boxes! I mentioned this already in previous posts, as well as supplied a link, but I think the easiest way to do it is to break it down by box choices. These are a great and fun way to not only get the book, and a copy of the first book as well, but also a ton of other really cool items! I'm supplying the links and better descriptions of both, here:

http://store.thepolyethnic.com/product/vip-box/

VIP Box: Includes One Paperback copy of Unhinged (book #1).
                               One Paperback copy of Unleashed (book #2).
                               Bookmarks, candy, jewelry, etc. (VIP has two to three more of these items).

http://store.thepolyethnic.com/product/1-month/

Reg. Box: Includes One eBook copy of Unhinged (book #1).
                                One Paperback copy of Unleashed (book #2).
                                Bookmarks, candy, jewelry, etc.

If you're interested in checking out the first book, and want to purchase it directly from the publisher, you can do so here:

http://store.thepolyethnic.com/product-category/bookstore/

Otherwise, it can be purchased through Barnes and Noble, and Amazon. It is also available in eBook!


via GIPHY

Now for the other part of the title! I have 10 bookplates available, which I'll be shipping out, FOR FREE, sometime in March (around the time boxes go out). I'll even ship these internationally, so, for any of you interested in getting one all you have to do is leave a comment below! That's it! Just leave me a comment and check back for my reply! :)


via GIPHY

I've got some more possible news to share in the upcoming week, so please pop back in to check it out and stay up to date!!! Thanks everyone who took the time to read this entire post (and put up with my gif obsession)! Someone pointed out that Chris Wood could be Hadrian/Thayer, and I guess it just stuck with me! Lmao. Anywho, like always, questions or comments welcome! Later, guys!

Unleashed Cover Reveal!!!

 
Isn't it beautiful? Don't you love it?! I love it. I think I might even love it more than I did the first one for Unhinged! Thanks to the cover artist and the Polyethnic for gracing my book with yet another spectacular cover upgrade! I cannot wait for you guys to be able to get your hands on these (I can't wait to get my hands on a hardcover copy myself) and I'm excited that they're coming out NEXT MONTH! In case you missed my previous post, go check that out below! It's worth it. At least, I think it is because it's riddled with Chris Wood gifs and tons of info on how you can already purchase your copy of Unleashed! That's right! You can already purchase it by buying yourself one of the Polyethnic's fandom book boxes! There's a link below in that post I mentioned, go on, run and read it, I'll wait.


via GIPHY

I've recently decided I'm going to be using gifs more. Why? Because they're fun. I did however decide not to let them all be Chris Wood gifs, sigh, because that would be weird. And all gifs are equal. Did I just get weird? Do you want me to change my mind about the gif usage from now on?


via GIPHY

ANYWHO: The blurb has also gotten an upgrade, so if you don't know what book two is about, here it is:

A few months ago, Spencer Perry made a deal with the devil. Or, more aptly, Hades. With her boyfriend back from the dead, honoring those promised nightly trips to the Underworld has gotten more complicated. Torn between loyalty towards Micah and duty towards Hadrian, Spencer has enough to deal with without having to worry about Persephone. Unfortunately, the original Gravewalker is hell bent on unleashing malicious spirits on the world, and she thinks Spencer is standing in her way. Attempting to stop Persephone means learning how to use her new abilities, and more time in the Underworld with Hadrian, a fact Micah strongly dislikes. With the clock already ticking down, Spencer needs to accept this new role she's been given, and maybe accept that some feelings, and some loves, don't actually last forever.

The Goodreads.com page has also been updated with the new cover and blurb. As soon as they become available, the ISBN numbers will be added so you guys can see where it can be purchased. As of right now, the only way to preorder is to, again, buy the Polyethnic March "Be Our Guest" box! This is a Beauty and the Beast themed book box, and VIP boxes come with paperback copies of BOTH Unhinged and Unleashed! Reg. boxes will still come with an ebook version of Unhinged, as well as paperback copy of Unleashed, so if you don't want to spend too much money but want this book quick that's the way to go! These boxes also come with a ton of other goodies like bookmarks and items featuring the themes Beauty and the Beast and the Underworld (because of the books, obviously)!

Anyway, here is the link to the Goodreads.com page, in case you wanted to add it to your TBR shelf and check out a few past reviews:

Okay, I lied about the C.W thing. But come on, Kai is back! I love you if you know what I'm talking about. Though, to be honest, I wasn't a fan of Season 7....Wow. I am getting WAY off track now! But I'm not deleting anything. Lol. I don't have the time to rewrite this and make it prim and seem more professional! This is what you're getting, people! On account of all the Bob and Chris, you're welcome. ;)

FINALLY, ending this on a note that actually matters, if you also happen to follow me on instagram, or/and follow the publisher for these, the Polyethnic, than you've already seen this side by side photo, but if you haven't, here it is! I love it because you get to see both the Unhinged cover and the Unleashed cover together. I think they make a beautiful set, and I can't wait until I can take photos of my two hard copies together!!!



And for those of you who actually stuck it out this far and reached the end of this post, thanks! Here's a little extra info: Unleashed will be available in hardcover, paperback, and ebook form. You'll be able to buy it at Barnes and Noble, one Amazon, and at a few other bookstores! The first book, Unhinged, is currently already out, so if you haven't yet and want to read it, go grab yourself a copy! I do have a few signed bookplates available for anyone who is interested. If so, just leave me a comment and I'll mail you one for free! :)

Unleashed is the second installment of the Underworld saga. There's still two more books to go!

Unleashed Release Date + MORE (Cover reveal to come!)

Hey all (fair warning, I am killing this post with gifs)

This is a long one, but please bear with me, especially so you can find out when the cover reveal is! I've been away for a while, super busy working on the first draft of the second book of Amid Stars and Darkness (which now has a tentative working title!!!) and doing edits for the final copy of the second book in my Underworld saga, Unleashed! If you would like a visual representation of what the editing process does to me, here you go:

Start:

via GIPHY


Finish:

via GIPHY


Lol. Don't ask me why I went with Chris Wood for this, I just did. ANYWHO, I spent all of December plus January working on one book, took a week break at the beginning of Feb. and started working on edits for another book, which most of you already know about. This new version on Unleashed will be (hopefully) a little better, and much easier to acquire considering it's being published by a company and not self published by little ol' me. So, I've been spending all my time twiddling away on these edits and then last night I have a conversation with my publisher. Ready to know what it was about?

Originally, the book wasn't even supposed to come out until April, BUT...


via GIPHY


It's now coming out a month early!!! Yup, it'll be released in MARCH!!!


via GIPHY

Because I feel excited!!! And nervous, because I was not prepared to speed up my editing process. But I'm confidant that I can do it, and I trust that my publisher will be able to handle everything else. Side note: anyone sick of me using Chris Wood gifs yet? No. Great. Because...

THERE'S MORE (I don't mean Chris Wood gifs. Though, there might be. We'll see)!!!

A major reason for speeding up the release date is so that it can fit the theme for The Polyethnic's March book box! Yes! It's going to be in a BOOK BOX!!! If you didn't already know, The Polyethnic does a monthly subscription book fandom box. This box always includes a new book, as well as a bunch of other bookish items! There are two versions of the box, a VIP box which comes with a few extra goodies, and then a regular box which is a bit cheaper. Either way, both of these boxes comes with a book, and for March, it'll be mine!

For those of you wondering how including the second book is going to work, let me tell you! VIP subscribers will also receive a paperback copy of book 1, Unhinged!


via GIPHY

(Haha, nope. Definitely wasn't done with these). You read that right though! VIP boxes will come with TWO BOOKS! So, if you still haven't picked up your copy of Unhinged, or you bought the ebook, loved it, and now want to find a cheaper way to add the paperback to your collection, purchase this box! People who do will also be the first ones to get their hands on the second book! And if you miss out on the VIP, don't fret. Regular boxes still come with an ebook copy of Unhinged, so you still won't have to worry about not having book 1, because you will!

So, to recap:

VIP Box comes with BOTH a paperback copy of Unhinged, and Unleashed!
Reg. Box comes with an ebook copy of Unhinged, and paperback copy of Unleashed!

You can even go purchase your box now, here: http://store.thepolyethnic.com/

The theme of this box is Beauty and the Beast, in honor of the upcoming movie (who's excited for that?! I know I am!) and is titled, Be Our Guest! It'll include some awesome items for both the Beauty and the Beast theme, and the theme of the books, the Underworld!

I have seen the cover and it is AMAZING! Seriously. I am so crazy in love with it and I can't wait to show you all! In fact...

COVER REVEAL WILL BE TOMORROW!!!!!!!

So make sure you stop back and check it out! If you want a faster way to stay up to date, follow me on instagram! Information always gets posted there first because it's easier for me. My handle is @TempestChani !

All right, I think I'll call it. That's a pretty massive info dump I just gave, and now I have to go do some more edits. Yay (I say sarcastically). In case you couldn't already tell, edits make me go a little insane. Hence all the gifs. Speaking of... One more!

Hello!


Not a very interesting post today, I'm afraid. Just figured I'd do an update seeing as how it's been since the 6th since I've last posted.

I was in VT from last Friday to this Tuesday visiting friends! It was a lot of fun, and because my friends understand this is what I do, I also got a lot of writing done, so yay! My deadline for the first rough draft of the second book (the book after Amid Stars and Darkness, currently untitled) is fast approaching and I'm quickly winding to the end. Of course though, the second I get back I get a head cold, so I currently feel sick and miserable. :( Hopefully it clears up soon so I can get back to finishing the book!!! :)

There's still one R2R copy (I believe) of Unhinged left on the Goodreads.com group, and you can sign up by clicking the link offered in the previous post! Remember, the book is also available for purchase now in hardcover, paperback, and ebook, links of which can be found in previous posts, and on the sidebar!

Unhinged was written years ago, and my written voice has changed so much since. I'm really happy that it's out there for people to read, but I'm also very excited for people to see the difference (and how much I've improved) when my book Amid Stars and Darkness is released in July. I am crazy excited to share this story with you, and that it'll also be available in hardcover! These two books are also very different. Unhinged in a teen paranormal loosely based on the Greek myth of Persephone and Hades, while Amid Stars and Darkness is a YA Sci-fi about a girl who gets mistaken for an alien and kidnapped.

For more information on either of these two books, please click on their cover images on the sidebar, or check out the Books page! :)

Sorry guys, like I said before, nothing super spectacular, mostly just rehashing some info. I can tell you that the second book in the Underworld saga, Unleashed, is looking at an April publication date though! So if you've read the first book and have been waiting, you don't have much longer to go!
