Existence/Predestined/Ceaseless

I've got another Existence fan-made book trailer I love and wanted to share with everyone. Check this one out

I also keep getting emails asking where the link to listen to "Yet You Stay" is located. I'll make this easy for you:

FYI: It can also be purchased on iTunes for .99



If by some chance you haven't seen the cover of book #3 - Ceaseless- hidden away in the back of the ebook edition of Predestined here it is:
He defied Heaven to keep her, he defeated evil to save her, but if her soul wants another... will he be able to let her go?


A little info on Leif for curious minds: I've had emails and tweets from readers worried about Leif, or they've heard a "rumor" Leif may be getting his own trilogy. 
In 2013, The Voodoo Prince will be getting his own trilogy. So do not fret for Leif because his story isn't over. 
AND once the Existence Trilogy Facebook page hits 1,000 likes I will be posting a Leif POV from Predestined. 

Predestined is NOW available

You can buy it in ebook format here: Amazon     Barnes & Noble     Smashwords


You can buy it in print copy here: Amazon   Createspace


Pssst here's a secret: At the end of the ebook copy is the cover, title and blurb for book #3 in the Existence Trilogy. It isn't posted anywhere else….

                      For the Spring Hunt, I have the pleasure of  hosting Lisa T. Bergren 


She's the best-selling author of over 35 books, most recently the River of Time Series (Waterfall, Cascade, Torrent). She lives in Colorado Springs, Colorado (even though she's constantly dreaming of her next trip to Italy) with her husband, three kids, and A little, fluffy, white dog named Talisker Beatrice (don't ask).
The River of Time Series is about two American teen girls, in Italy with their archeologist mother. When they happen upon a time tunnel, they're catapulted back to medieval Tuscany, and arrive in the middle of a battle. What ensues is a flurry of romance and adventure, and a tale of two girls finding out what it means to live life to the fullest. Over 20 YA bloggers named the series as one of their top 10 of 2011 picks! (And readers kept asking for more, so Lisa's continuing the story through the e-novellas, Bourne and the upcoming Tributary.)
Lisa's here today to ask for help. She needs to narrow down her model choices for Luca Forelli, the next character to be featured on the cover of Tributary. She had chosen Model D, but she's seen it on another e-book, so you can understand her dilemma. She's kind of leaning away from D, but will keep him in the running if he's one of your three favs.
So check out her description and vote for the three who "speak to you" first--she's looking forward to your input! (Don't worry about the clothing--they'll modify it to something that would work.) All photos are borrowed from istockphoto.com (thus, the watermarks). When the final is chosen, Lisa will purchase it for the cover (without the watermark, obviously!). So...take a look at the covers already published (above), squint your eyes, and vote for your top 3!
Which 3 models are your favorites? (choose 3)ABCDEFG

Yet You Stay- Fan Creations

Yet You Stay - Dank's song to Pagan in Existence - has many readers sending me unique things they've made due to the inspiration of the song. I love getting mail and seeing artwork, book trailers, playlist, and more from readers who were inspired by one of my books or in this case… a song from one of my books. Today I picked two of my favorite things I've seen so far from readers that center around - "Yet You Stay" and Existence.

Yesterday I received this from an Existence fan who while listening to "Yet You Stay" got inspired to draw. LOVE this in a major big way.



And then this is a book trailer that a reader made. It is an entry into the signed books giveaway I am holding for the best fan made Existence book trailer. You can find out more about it on the Existence trilogy Facebook page.
 

The Vincent Brothers exclusive excerpt

         


       Sitting my cup down on the tailgate, I took a step toward Beau. This was a fight I needed. Holding my aggression in was so damn hard at times. Ashton, however, wasn't going to standby and watch. 
        She grabbed Beau's shoulders and jumped up wrapping her legs firmly around his waist. If seeing her wrapped around him didn't piss me off so bad I'd laugh at her determination to keep us from fighting. She'd been dealing with us since we were kids and she knew exactly how to keep us from coming to blows. Throwing herself in the line of fire was the only way.
       Amusement lit Beau's eyes as his angry snarl turned into an amused grin and his eyes shifted from me to Ashton. "What ya doin' baby?" He asked in that slow drawl I hated. He'd been using it on girls since we hit puberty.
      "That's the way to distract him Ash," Kayla Jenkins hooted from Toby's lap.
More catcalls and whistles started. Beau was smiling at Ashton like she was the most fascinating person in the world.

Cover Reveal

Coming 7/31/12
Maybe driving home after a few (or more) shots of tequila had been a bad idea, but hell, he did it all the time. The cops had to have been freaking bored to have pulled him over. He wasn't even swerving! That's Cage York's story and he's sticking to it.Unfortunately, his baseball coach isn't buying it. Cage has a free ride to the local junior college for baseball -- or he did, until he'd gotten a DUI. Now, Cage has to decide: does he drop out and give up his dream of getting noticed by a college in the SEC, and possibly making it into the Major Leagues -- or does he give in to his coach's demands and spend his summer bailing hay?Eva Brooks planned out her life step by step when she was eight years old. Not once over the years had she lost sight of her goals. Josh Beasley, her next door neighbor, had been the center of those goals. He'd been her first boyfriend at seven, her first kiss at ten, her first date at fifteen, and her first tragedy at eighteen. The moment she'd received the phone call from Josh's mother saying he'd been killed along with four other soldiers just north of Baghdad, Eva's carefully planned life imploded in the worst way possible.Cage isn't real happy with his closet-sized bedroom in the back of a foul smelling barn, or his daily interactions with cows, but he knows that if he doesn't make his coach happy then he can kiss his scholarship goodbye. Only a sick and twisted man would decide his punishment was to be working on a farm all summer. No hot babes in bikinis waiting to meet a Southern boy to make her vacation complete. Just him and the damned cows.Oh -- and an uptight, snarky brunette with the biggest blue eyes he's every seen. But she doesn't count, because as hard as he's tried to charm her out of her panties - he's pretty sure she'd rather see him hung from the rafters than let him get a taste of her pretty little lips.

Pick a Cage

Alright you've all seen the guy I picked for Cage in my Because of Low dreamcast. He isn't an actor just a model but he was perfect.

                                                     If you haven't seen my pick here he is

Here are some other options:
                       Do y'all agree with me on #1 or do you think Cage looks more like #2 #3 or #4?
                     OR do you have someone else in your head you see when you are picturing Cage?
