GUARDED CROWN RELEASE!
Woo-hoo! GUARDED CROWN, the final book in the Guarded Trilogy has officially released today!
I can't believe this series has come to a close. It was a blast to write and live vicariously through. I hope you had as much fun reading it, as I did writing it.
Thank you readers and reviewers alike for your love and support. Without you, it would just be another story on my dusty shelf.
Love you all!

New Book / New Website!
Hi everyone,
Lots and lots happening lately!
First, GUARDED CROWN, the final installment of the Guarded Trilogy, is at last out for pre-order discount, and will be released on schedule October 1st. Yay! Please don't forget to leave a rating.
Next, two exciting things. If you have tried to check out my website, you'll see that it's currently under construction. With just a few minor kinks that need to be worked out, it is ready to roll out on Launch Party Week, October 15th!
At that time, I'm going to have a special door prize for everyone who visits and signs the guestbook (okay, it's just the contact form, but you get the idea). A FREE copy of BEAUTY AND HER BEAST, a short story prequel to my upcoming Paranormal Shifters Romance series "Sons of the Alpha-KNIGHT", will be sent to you upon request, along with a printable bookmark.
More on that later. I'm so excited! Hope you all come and visit my new digs.

LAST DAY - Summer Heat Contest!!
Today is the LAST DAY to enter the SUMMER HEAT CONTEST!! You still have an opportunity to win either a $25 Amazon Gift Card or a Surprise Gift Bag by entering on my website at www.addisoncarmichael.com. I will be posting an additional blog post tomorrow to announce the winners!
Well, at long last GUARDED CROWN, the final book in the Guarded Trilogy is finalized! I will be sending out ARC's (Advanced Reader Copies) September 1st. I would like to give my reader/followers here the opportunity to be one of them. If you're interested, please complete the contact form on my website with the subject as "ARC reader/reviewer". All reviewers will receive a signed copy of Guarded Crown at its release October 1st.
ALL HAIL CORNER:
This week's shout-out goes to my faithful friend, beta reader, & editor Tamara Gillespie. Even in the midst of her crazy, chaotic life she manages to squeeze in time to aid me in my writing. It was due to her that I picked up my quill again after a long, sad drought when I parted ways with a well-known trad house. If any of my stories have any merit, you can thank her first. Most likely, she told me the first round it wasn't good, forcing me to rewrite it.
"All Hail to--TAMARA GILLESPIE!"
