http://www.swoonreads.com/a/Chani.L.Feener.Tempest.C.Avery/8Vy2x4

Speaking of the Underworld, book two in the saga, Unleashed, should be rereleased sometime by the end of this week!!!! Fingers crossed! Keep checking back for more info as well as the actual release! That also means that book 3, which has never been published before, Unbound, is also coming out soon!!!! If you're super excited for this one, let me know either below or on Goodreads.com!

I'm currently seeking beta readers for Unbound, as well as a couple other books that I have in the works, so if interested please PM on goodreads.com!!! For those of you who already have, I've been in touch and will let you know as soon as Bone Deep and this book is available!

Curious about Bone Deep? Check out the first eight chapters (unedited mind you) for FREE! Not sure how long I'll be leaving them up, as the book will be released soon, so read them while you can! This book is written a little differently than the rest of my work has been, so keep that in mind if you're a first time reader!

Here's the link:

http://www.wattpad.com/myworks/25762977-bone-deep-nano-2014

In final news, I've been thinking about posting chapters of a new book I'm working on, just for the fun of it. Other than on Wattpad, I've never really done that before, but feel it might be a good way for readers to interact. Let me know if you think this might be a good idea. If so, where should I do it? Stick with Wattpad, post chapters here on the blog, or Goodreads.com? Or maybe even all three. :) Would love to hear your thoughts on this, guys!

Finally, as always, if anyone has any questions or comments please feel free to ask! I love hearing from you guys! Most of you already know, speedier responses come from my Goodreads. Just putting that out there again! But feel free to comment here as well! ;)

*Also, if you know of anyone, maybe yourself, interested in helping run the book review blog I have with my best friend, as well as the Goodreads.com group for it, please let me know!!!!*

The whole point of this site is so that authors can get possible publishing contracts, but I need you guys in order to do it so please go leave a comment and rating!

http://www.swoonreads.com/a/Chani.L.Feener.Tempest.C.Avery/8Vy2x4

Currently there's a R2R of Beguiling Trickery on one of the Goodread groups, Lovers of Paranormal! Here's the link: https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/12017767-r2r-684-beguiling-trickery-open

https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/25099925-within-a-dream

For those of you waiting on the second installment of the Underworld sage to be rereleased, you won't have to wait much longer! I'm hoping to have that out within the next week so keep checking for a link! Also Unbound the third book will FINALLY BE RELEASED very soon!!!!!!!! Gotta run through that and do some editing/plot corrections but I'm hopeful I can get it out to you guys within the next month or so! If you're excited feel free to let me know! I'm always looking for reviewers! ;)

Finally the point of this post, Bone Deep is being run through the final editing stages right now and will be released soon as well. I'm currently looking for reviewers for this one, so if interested please let me know ASAP! This book is a bit different from my other works, and I'm a bit nervous about it, so while I'm not opposed to giving out lots of advanced review copies, I still want to keep it manageable.

If interested, let me know via Goodreads.com. Just private message me your email, and whether you'd like epub, mobi, or PDF. I'll send you the book for free under the agreement that in exchange you leave an honest review upon reading.

Again, please PM me on goodreads, as I don't often respond to people here on time, and I don't want anyone having to post their emails here. If you have any questions or anything, feel free to comment below however, as I will see them! Or you can go to my Goodreads and ask me a question there! There's an entire space for it and again my responses will be more speedy.

If you haven't yet read it, below is a blurb of the book, Bone Deep, and a link to my goodreads.com page so you can message me!

https://www.goodreads.com/author/show/5171960.Tempest_C_Avery

Mila's lived her whole life with one goal: destroying the upir, and sometimes their lesser evil cousins, vampires. She's fought and trained for almost all of her eighteen years so that she'd be ready to lead the Ouroboros order, a society of hunters that has been around since Dracula was known simply as Vlad the Impaler. She's successfully executed many kills, led hundreds of hunting parties, and honed her abilities as a runemaster. But something's coming, something that even a life like Mila's couldn't prepare someone for. Hunters are dropping all around her, and monsters are doing the unheard of. Working together.
Rogen's second life has been about one thing: protecting his people. He's long since accepted his role in the vast supernatural world, and what's more, he's learned to relish in the power. Which is why it pisses him off so much when something shows up announced, screwing with the order of things. With only one option left to him, Rogen undergoes the unthinkable, guising himself as a moroi hunter in the Ouroboros order. There was a time when he respected their services, but having been corrupted some centuries back, his opinion of them has altered since. He's going to have to convince them to join forces if they're ever going to stop whatever's coming. The only problem is, doing so might actually be more impossible than stopping the biggest evil the world's ever seen.

Giveaways/Free reads!

There are currently two giveaways up on Goodreads.com for paperback copies of my books: Within a Dream, and Beguiling Trickery! For those of you who sign up and don't win, or if you're just interested in reading, both of these books can be read for FREE on Swoonreads.com! The links to both of these books and where they can be read are at the bottom of this post! :) Here's the cover art, blurbs, and links' to the giveaways!


Within a Dream:

Lily likes being a witch. Sure, aside from floating pencils and telepathically communicating with her three best friends, there aren’t many real perks. Until it brings two of the hottest guys she’s ever seen into her life. Of course, there are always strings, and this one comes in the form of a prophecy foretelling her saving, and eventually ruling, a realm she’s never heard about in this lifetime. With dark fey suddenly hunting them down, Lily and her friends are forced to make a decision, complete the prophecy or turn their backs. If that isn’t enough stress, Lily also has a choice to make of her own. Trust in their brooding dark haired guide, Larkin? Or the golden dream stalker Ronan? One claims he’s her soul mate. Both want her back in a realm she can’t recall. What’s a girl to do?

Beguiling Trickery:

Two all powerful beings want her. One is a literal nightmare, the other is a god straight out of mythology.

Kenna Erikson knows absolutely nothing about Norse mythology. Which is daunting, considering she’s a volur, a type of seer the Vikings believed garnered favor with the gods. For the most part, she ignores her gifts, and the useless ability to foresee thirty or so seconds into the future. For as long as she can remember, she’s had only herself to rely on, and she likes that just fine. However, when shadows suddenly come alive and attack her, she’s forced to seek outside help in the form of tall, blonde, and infinitely annoying, Luka. Somehow, Luka knows all about her attackers, and the mythology they spring from. He’s also eager to help out, despite the fact they’ve only just met. But what secret is he keeping? Who is he really? And why does her heart flip every time he’s around?

Beguiling Trickery Release!!!!! FREE read!

Alright everyone, my book, Beguiling Trickery, is finally out and available as a FREE read on the site Swoonreads.com! Please go and check it out! Again, for those of you who don't know about it, Swoonreads.com is a place where anyone can post up their completed teen novel in hopes of getting picked for a possible publishing deal! This is based a lot off of reviews, and comments, so go read and leave some!

If you're just checking in and don't know anything about this book, it's based in the same universe as my Underworld series. However, unlike with that series, which revolves around Greek mythology, most notably that of Hades and Persephone, this trilogy focuses on Norse myth instead. If Hadrian is Hades, I wonder who Luka is? ;)

Below I've placed a blurb, and a link to the book! Again, please go and check this out! If anyone has any troubles reading (I've gotten PMs from people about this in regards to my other book on there, Within a Dream) please let me know! I'm thinking about getting a few PDF copies out there to people who can't read on the site, with understanding that in return they'll post their honest review and comments to the site once they'd read it. Want to know more about Luka before you check it out? I've recently added a new section to the right called, Ask Away, where characters are "interviewed". You don't have to PM questions, just post them in the comments there! :)

And without further ado, Beguiling Trickery:

http://www.swoonreads.com/m/beguiling-trickery

Blurb:

Two beings want her. One is a literal nightmare, and the other is a god.

Kenna Erikson knows absolutely nothing about Norse mythology. Which is daunting, considering she’s a volur, a type of seer the Vikings believed garnered favor with the gods. For the most part, she ignores her gifts, and the useless ability to foresee thirty or so seconds into the future.

Up Coming Books/Intersted in Reviewing?/FREE reads! ;)

Ok, so admittedly that title is a mouthful, however, I figured it'd be easier to squish everything into one post! So, lots of news, please hang in there. :) Firstly, my teen paranormal, Within a Dream, is still available on Swoonreads.com! PLEASE go and check it out! The more comments there the better, and it's a great way to interact with me! There are also a TON of other great books on there, so when you sign up you don't just get to read my book for FREE but loads of others! The link is below, and the cover is to the side. If you haven't yet read the blurb, feel free to do so in the previous post, or check out an excerpt to the left! <-----------

http://www.swoonreads.com/m/within-a-dream

On my review blog, there is currently a giveaway for an awesome trilogy that I just finished reading! The author is Nenia Campbell, and she's willing to give away TEN copies of an omnibus version of her Horrorscape series! Check that out, because it ends in a few days! My reviews for each book are also up on the blog, if you're curious to see what I thought. Be aware, however, that there might be a few spoilers mixed in! Here's a link to that:

http://www.readinginthewindowseat.blogspot.com/

Ok, now onto new news! The book I've been talking about for a little over a month now is finally (almost) ready to be published! Just have to do one final read through/edit and then it'll be available! The book, Beguiling Trickery, is based loosely off of Norse Mythology, and takes place in the same universe as my Underworld series!!!! That means that you might get a look at a familiar character or two throughout this trilogy! The plan as of now is to post this book up onto Swoonreads.com like I have with Within a Dream, however, I am looking for reviewers as well to help spread the word and get a few reviews up on goodreads.com! If interested, please let me know as soon as possible as I am making a list and will only be giving out limited e-copies of this! This is mostly because, as I've stated, it will be posted up on Swoonreads.com, where it can be read by everyone for FREE! However, some people don't like the format there, and that is why I'm also giving a few away. Of course, this will be a R2R sort of situation, and I require that not only do you post a review on Goodreads.com, but also on Swoon once you've read it. :) Anyway, for the first time EVER, here is a blurb for the book:


Two all powerful beings want her, one's a literal nightmare, and the other is a god.

Kenna Erikson knows absolutely nothing about Norse mythology. Which is daunting, considering she's a volur, a type of seer the Vikings believed garnered favor with the gods. For the most part, she ignores her gifts, and the useless ability to foresee thirty or so seconds into the future. For as long as she can remember, she's had only herself to rely on, and she likes that just fine. However, when shadows suddenly come alive and attack her, she's forced to seek outside help in the form of tall, blonde, and infinitely annoying, Luka. Somehow, Luka knows all about her attackers, and the mythology they spring from. He's also eager to help out, despite the fact they've only just met. Trusting doesn't come easily for Kenna, and putting her faith in someone as mysterious and confusing as Luka is takes its toll. Why is he constantly making the moves on her when it's obvious he dislikes her? What secret is he keeping? And why does he keep insisting she learn her Norse myths?
 
And I'm still not done! Some of you might recall mention of another book started for 2014's NaNoWriMo! I'm pleased to announce that Bone Deep will also be released soon. That will published on Smashwords.com. I will also be in search for reviewers for that book as well, so please, again, let me know as soon as possible! This is a little different from the rest of my work, and I can't wait to get feedback on it! Here's the blurb if you didn't catch it earlier:
 
Mila's lived her whole life with one goal: destroying the upir, and sometimes their lesser evil cousins, vampires. She's fought and trained for almost all of her eighteen years so that she'd be ready to lead the Ouroboros order, a society of hunters that has been around since Dracula was known simply as Vlas the Impaler. She's successfully executed many kills, led hundreds of hunting parties, and honed her abilities as a runemaster. But something's coming, something that even a life like Mila's couldn't prepare someone for. Hunters are dropping all around her, and monsters are doing the unheard of. Working together.
Rogen's second life has been about one thing: protecting his people. He's long since accepted his role in the vast supernatural world, and what's more, he's learned to relish in the power. Which is why it pisses him off so much when something shows up announced, screwing with the order of things. With only one option left to him, Rogen undergoes the unthinkable, guising himself as a moroi hunter in the Ouroboros order. There was a time when he respected their services, but having been corrupted some centuries back, his opinion of them has altered since. He's going to have to convince them to join forces if they're ever going to stop whatever's coming. The only problem is, doing so might actually be more impossible than stopping the biggest evil the world's ever seen.

Lastly, I've started a new page! A lot of you have questions pertaining to specific characters of mine, (like the always absent Bane from the Coven series that is taking a million years to finish, *cough*). I've decided to start something new, where you can ask characters questions instead of "me". The page is to the left, with all the rest, and aptly (lol) titled, Ask Away. To give you guys a good idea of what this will be like, I've started it off by having Luka (the main lead from Beguiling Trickery) and Thayer (from the Underworld series) answer a few! This way you can better get to know the first, and possibly reacquaint yourself with the latter!

For those of you curious, I'm thinking of rereleasing the second book, Unleashed, soon. :)

Have any questions, feel free to ask! For those of you hoping to review, please contact me through my Goodreads.com account, as I am usually there more often than here....because I suck. Sorta like Rogen, my character from Bone Deep. ;)

Unhinged is Back!!! Plus FREE read!!!

Alright everyone, if you've read my latest post (if you haven't you should!) you know that while I'm still actively seeking a publisher, I'm re releasing Unhinged! There has been a lot of questions about this, and a lot of people have shown interest so I've decided to just go back to self publishing it in the meantime. That being said, I'll be posting the link that leads you to where you can buy it on Smashwords.com! I'm also fixing the button on the side, so that from now on, clicking on the cover picture to the right will also immediately bring you to the correct page! For the next few weeks the book will be on sale for only $0.99!!!

Thank you so much again to everyone who's stuck around this past year waiting on me to either release it again or to give news on the third book (again view below at earlier post). I really appreciate it.  If you read below you'll also see info another book coming soon set in the same universe as Unhinged! And in other news...

One of the new books I promised is now up and ready to be read for FREE on Swoonreads.com! This is a site that works sort of like Wattpad, in the sense that readers get to vote and comment on their favorite/or not so favorite books! They choose books to then actually publish later on, so I'd really appreciate it if all of you could swing by (link below) and check this book out! Comment, rate, and hopefully enjoy! Again, this is your way to read one of my books, free, so if you liked Unhinged, please go read Within a Dream. And in case you didn't read my earlier post, and don't plan on doing so now, let me just reiterate that this book, while containing some of the same characters and a similar main plot, is NOT the first book of the original Dreamer trilogy, All That We See or Seem. This book, Within a Dream, has NEVER been published anywhere before, and has never been read by anyone (except my best friend). It's a rule of Swoonreads.com that this be the case, which is why I keep stressing it to you guys. It's also because All That We See or Seem was written years ago when I'd had little technical training and was just starting my hand at writing. Since then, my skills have vastly improved, and I no longer want to be associated with the poor quality that was that book. ;)

For those of you who read All That We See or Seem before, or even the entire trilogy, please check this one out! I assure you it'll be better than the first book, so if you hated it, you should hopefully like this one more, and same goes if you actually liked it! You'll find it's a completely new, fresh read.

As a side note, when you check out Swoonreads you'll see that I've included me actual name along with my penname. Just giving a heads up so no one thinks anything was stolen from me or anything like that :).

Those interested in reviewing any of my books, please feel free to message me via my goodreads.com account (I will also leave that link below).
