Too cool not to share

This is called drive-by posting. An alert just appeared in my inbox alerting me to new content mentioning me on goodreads. Well, considering I haven't announced anything new in the past couple weeks, I thought that was pretty interesting, so I clicked on it to check out what it was referring to. And discovered . . .

Trivia Questions about the Haven Novels!

Okay, maybe this is a total geek-out moment, but I think it is absolutely awesome that someone took the time to make trivia questions about ...

Giving away other people's books

If you would like a chance to win (or just want to talk about which guy in Brigg's world is your favorite) best you head over and comment!

Happy Friday everyone!-Kalayna Price

Revision Funnies

I'm currently polishing the second Alex Craft novel in preparation of turning it over to my editor in the coming weeks. That means I'm revising. A lot. Most of the time, the line edit type revision that needs to be done is tightening, clarification, or expounding on an idea. Or, because I tend to write so fast my fingers don't always keep up with my brain, this includes adding in the words that somehow got dropped between my head and the keyboard--typically articles and preposition (I don't ...

GRAVE WITCH Blurb

Grave witch Alex Craft can speak to the dead, but that doesn't mean she likes what they have to say…
As a private investigator and consultant for the police, Alex Craft has seen a lot of dark magic. But even though she's on good terms with Death himself—who happens to look fantastic in a pair of jeans—nothing has prepared her for her latest case. Alex is investigating a high profile murder when she's attacked by the 'shade' she's raising, which should be impossible. To top off her day...

News and Links

So I just found out the artist for Grave Witch's (absolutely awesome) cover is Aleta Rafton. Her website with more of her art can be found here.

GRAVE WITCH Cover Art!

Also, have you joined the mailing list yet? Once I have permission to release an excerpt, I intend to make it a...

It was a great birthday

Thanks everyone who sent me birthday wishes! I was traveling day of, but they made the day after feel like a second birthday. I had an absolutely wonderful birthday. Writers tend to be the biggest fans, and I was in total fan girl mode on Tuesday.

As well as being my birthday, Tuesday was the release day for Black Magic Sanction by Kim Harrison. I am a huge fan of the Hollows series, so I decided to spend a chunk of my birthday at Kim's release party. I had a great time, snagged a personalize...
