Custom Order of Courtlight Bracelet

Hi All,

I posted a gift I received from a lovely friend to my Facebook page last week and to my surprise the interest in the bracelet was overwhelming. As you can see each book on the bracelet is individually crafted and all of them are 3D representations. I’m in love with it. People have asked me how they could receive one and I spoke to the designer of the bracelet to see what could be done.

I’m very excited to tentatively announce that I can do a limited run of these bracelets. Each one will be $27 including shipping + a special gift & note from me. I will only be ordering 30 of these – fifteen in silver and fifteen in gold. Fill out this form if you’d like one. For the time being this is U.S. Only. I can’t do international shipping at the moment as it will get really pricey for the readers involved.

This is on a first-come, first-serve basis but is not a commitment! When I receive them, I’ll go down the list in order line-by-line, that person will be given the opportunity to pay by paypal then I’ll move on to the next.

Seeking Beta Readers for Sworn To Vengeance: Courtlight #7!

New call out for beta readers for Book Seven! If you’re interested in becoming a beta reader for me, read on!

I’m getting started on SWORN TO VENGEANCE and I would love reader feedback on the plot arc and character development. You can be any age, any experience level – all I ask is that you be enthusiastic about fantasy books. If you haven’t done this before – don’t worry about it. I’m looking for feedback as detailed as you want (i.e. Terah you missed a semicolon in the second line of paragraph four on page 87) or as broad as you want (i.e. I really didn’t like that Steve character – he’s too angry – change him ASAP).

If you’ve read Books One – Six in the Courtlight series, you’ll have a much easier time beta reading for me as well. You can download free copies of the first three books here.

What would be expected of you as a beta reader?

You would be emailed the manuscript/Word doc on Mon, March 23rd, and you’ll have approximately five days to provide feedback (I’d need it back by Fri, Mar. 27th).  Please only enter if you’re available during this timeframe.


You would be expected to give me your honest opinion about what you didn’t like, what you’d prefer to see changed (if anything), and basically just your overall thoughts. I’m not looking for unwarranted praise. Only your complete honesty can help me improve the story. Don’t worry about hurting my feelings.


Please agree to not share the story with anyone else.

If you are interested in reading Sworn to Vengeance and providing feedback which will help me revise, please answer the following questions in the comment section of this blog post (people reading this on Goodreads will need to visit my actual blog to comment – comments made on Goodreads will not be considered):

 

1) Your first name
2) Your email address
3) Is this your first time doing a beta read or book critique?
4) Favorite authors (just so I can get a feel for your general likes)
5) Have you read all six Courtlight series books?

 

I will post my list of beta readers on Sunday, March 22nd, so check back then!!!  Thanks so much!!!

What do you think? Tell me in the comments section! One random commenter will get automatic access to the first draft of Sworn To Vengeance as a BETA READER!

Now for the BLURB

Ciardis Weathervane is nothing if not resourceful but she and her friends are running out of time and options. They stand at the westernmost edge of the Algardis Empire with a mission from their emperor – bring home the collar that will stop a god in its tracks or die trying.

But nothing is ever that simple. In their way stands thousands of people trapped inside a walled city for half a century. With the souls of the living and the corpses of the damned, the denizens of Kifar have become the living undead.

What’s worse than confronting the undead? Learning that those poor souls blame the imperial family for their predicament. Now the city and its people want retribution and the only thing they will accept is the sacrifice of the empire’s most famous son – Sebastian Athanos Algardis.

He will stand trial for the crimes of his bloodline and it will take more than diplomacy for Ciardis to win his freedom, before a reign of fire comes down from the wyvern and the dragon to burn them all.

A BIG THANK YOU AND SOME NEWS

I want to thank you all for your patience and being supportive readers. I received dozens of a messages a week asking me where the next book is. I didn’t answer all of them immediately but I did read every one and now that Sworn To Ascension: Courtlight #6 has released I’ve taken the time to personally respond to everyone who emailed or Facebook messaged me or commented. I knew you wanted the next book and wanted it now. That’s my goal in 2015. To keep producing what you want and do it timely.

To keep in touch, I’ve joined forces with another fantasy author, K.J. Colt of kjcolt.com,  to put together an awesome private group for readers. I will share with you there updates on my manuscripts, new cover art, my publishing process and answer questions as I can. My lovely assistant, Rachel, will also be there to share exclusive teasers from in-progress manuscripts before release day.

Sounds good? Then join here -> THE GUILD

Now for the NEWS:

I’m super elated to announce that I have signed with Nancy Yost Literary Agency. I’m really excited about this partnership.
I also want you to know that I have a collaboration project releasing in March 2015 that will BLOW your mind. The cover will be revealed VERY SOON, so check back and take a peek. You won’t be disappointed!
I should have the cover for Sworn To Vengeance up on the website within the next week but I won’t be announcing a release date just yet. However in order to prepare the book for release I will be asking for beta readers in THE GUILD. So if you want to join my team, get ready.
I’m going to be convening a special X-group of readers for the re-writes for Blades Of Illusion. Instead of sending them the full finished book as I do my betas, we’ll be working with every five chapters to completely re-write Crown Service #2 and make it better than before. Applications for the X-group will be announced soon.

That’s about all.

Quick Update: New Bundle, Sworn To Ascension, & NY Times

Hi All,

I thought this could wait until Wednesday when I was fairly sure I’d be done but I’ll update you now since I’m getting tons of questions.

FIRST! I’m participating in a new book bundle with fourteen other AMAZING epic fantasy authors. EPIC: Fourteen Books of Fantasy has fourteen books and over 1,000,000 words to keep you busy. So I suggest you check it out. It releases on 12/10/2014 and is already complete. :D

Here’s the blurb:

For a limited time only!

The freshest voices in fantasy bring you fifteen New York Times, USA Today, and Amazon bestselling authors. With fourteen stories and over one million words of captivating fiction, this epic fantasy set will keep you entranced.

Delve into worlds where adventurers discover forgotten lands of wonder and fight ancient evil. Worlds where dragons soar, where heroes and heroines wield sword and magic to answer adventure’s call.

Get one of the largest bundles of page-turning epic fantasy today…before it’s gone!

Amazon | Barnes & Noble | Kobo | iTunes | Goodreads | ThunderClaptIt

SECOND! I temporarily delayed the release of Sworn To Ascension: Courtlight #6. I thought I would be done and edited by the 26th but I wasn’t!

My family and I were already scheduled to go away for the Thanksgiving (American) holiday weekend and that’s something I couldn’t cancel. So I made the choice to hold back Ascension and give it the editing love it deserved when I returned (today). I’ve already gotten back Part One of the final edits back from my amazing editor. Now I’m just working on the final 40,000 words. I know that you were expecting the story over the holiday weekend and I’m deeply sorry for disappointing you. But I also want to give you the story you deserve. To the two dozen people who already contacted me, I hope this explains things.

But again, I hope you find it worth the wait. See look -> I’ve got the corrections and everything. It’s coming.

Here’s the blurb to remind you of the awesome and there will be plenty of adventure, magic, Thanar, Sebastian and Ciardis coming! I’ll be releasing this week straight to the retailers and posting on all of my social media forums when I do.

Signed, a deeply sorry Terah.

THIRD! I have some amazing/fantastic/awesome news!

As of 11/23/2014, I’m a New York Times & USA Today Bestselling Author. I can’t thank my readers and my awesome author friends enough. :) You bought and shared the last fall set I was in so much that we sold a bajillion copies. I realized I announced this everywhere including facebook and tumblr but NOT on my website before and now I’m correcting that because I know a lot of you prefer reading it here.

In case you weren’t aware, the New York Times and the USA Today Bestsellers lists are the two most coveted lists an author can get on and reflect total book sales across various retailers nationwide.

With the powers of an amazing group of authors combined, Kiss of Christmas Magic was #11 on the New York Times and #31 on USA Today! But without you it wouldn’t have happened and I’ve begun to update my book covers as swiftly as I can while still staying on schedule.

But I HAVEN’T updated my website. Why is that you ask? Well, that’s because I have a BRAND-NEW website launching in January 2015. As soon as I have some schematics/designs I’ll be sure to share. But I promise you it will be awesome and I’m so giddy about it!
