I'm so happy to announce that Rogue Rider is on the shelves! It, and the entire Lords of Deliverance series, was also featured on Good Morning Texas as a suggested series for Twilight fans. Adult Twilight fans. *g* I'm also excited to let everyone know that for a limited time, the first book in the series, Eternal Rider, is available in ebook format for $2.99. So if you've been waiting to try the series, now's the time!

Updates
Well, in the last year or so it's become very apparent that my time is becoming more and more limited for anything outside of writing. Family time has suffered, my health has suffered, and I've really felt crushed under the weight of all my responsibilities. So I decided that some things have to go. My blog is one of them.
So….as you can see, my website has been updated, and the blog has been removed. I now have only a "news" page that I'll update when something important happens. I will also use it to host the occasional contest as well.
I sincerely hope you all understand. I have to put my family and my writing before anything else, so the cutting back is necessary. I'll keep up on sending newsletters a couple of times a year for updates, and I tend to post fairly frequently on Facebook since it's so simple and fast.
Anyway, that's the latest news until Rogue Rider releases next month! Happy Halloween, everyone!

Forever Yours Winners and Announcement
Okay, finally getting my act together to announce winners for the contest that went up at the beginning of the month…and to make an announcement.
First, the winners:
Totebag, swag, and book winner: Deborah Mistry #86
Ebook winner: Margo McCaul #37
Winners, please email me at larissaione AT gmail DOT com. Congrats!
Now for the announcement.
I've had a blog since before I was published. Like, long before I was published. I've loved blogging, but recently I have let my blog fall into this desert-like habitat where words go to die. I've been so busy with deadlines and life that I've fallen behind on email, Facebook, Twitter, and blogging, and all the while, I've given up time with my family as I try to keep up and meet my deadlines. Something has to go before what goes is my sanity.
So…sometime in the next month I'll be shutting down my blog. This page will be replaced by a news page, and I'll be adding a contest page so that I can still offer up giveaways now and then. I'll be posting a few more posts between now and then (I'm hoping to be able to show off Rogue Rider's cover!) and will be sure to post ways you can keep up with me if you want.
So anyway, that's it for now! Happy reading!!!!

Celebrating Forever Yours!
Happy April, everyone!
This month my publisher, Grand Central Publishing, is launching a new digital imprint, Forever Yours, (which is who my Lords of Deliverance Compendium will be published through,) and to celebrate, I'm going to do a giveaway!
* First place winner will get a tote bag and swag, plus a copy of Supernatural (since Lethal Rider will be releasing in just a month and a half, and the story in Supernatural ties in with Than's book, now is the perfect time to read it if you haven't already!) NOTE: Tote and contents shown in the picture are not the exact prize. Contents will vary.
* Second place winner will get a Kindle copy of one of the Forever Yours books (winner's choice based on your comment below.)
To enter to win, just visit the Forever Yours website and click on "Forever Yours". Then just tell me here in the comments below (on this blog post) which of those books looks like something you'd like to read. Easy peasy!
International entries welcome!

Lords of Deliverance Compendium!
Yay! The Lords of Deliverance Compendium is finally done, turned in, edited, and cover-ed! :) I'll provide links once it's up at ebook retailers, but for now, here's the cover and blurb:
New York Times bestselling author Larissa Ione brings readers behind the scenes with this definitive guide to her latest imaginative, epic series featuring the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse. With character descriptions, key player background information, a handy glossary of terms and special abilities, and an all new, original short story, this is a must-read for every Larissa Ione fan. As an added bonus, this compendium includes an extended sneak peek at the next book in the Lords of Deliverance series, Lethal Rider.
This will release May 1st in ebook format only (you don't need an ebook reader to read it, though — there are several free apps available.)
Also, this has nothing to do with the compendium, but I wanted to post a picture of Hexe, since it's been forever since I've done that. This is her looking all pretty in the snow. She's about 90-95 pounds now!
