Broken Release
Broken is officially done. The cover is still in the works and my Beta readers are hard at work making sure it is up to par. The official release date is coming soon (mid October). SAVE will be available on Kobo, Barnes and Noble, and other venues after October 16, 2013. Please encourage your reader friends to read it first.
I apologize for being MIA. I wanted to devote my time to writing.
Start checking for updates on Twitter and Facebook beginning next week for release dates, giveaways, and information.
Also, if you would like to review Broken, please send me a request by email: col.ella@yahoo.com. Please only make the request if you are interested in this genre.
Thank you for all of your support.

J.A Howell is an office drone by day, and a writer by ...
J.A Howell is an office drone by day, and a writer by night. Her love of writing took off when she was eleven years old and decided to fill a composition notebook with stories to read to her friends. Many years (and notebooks) later, not much has changed. She still loves writing and sharing her works with others. When she isn’t writing, she can often be found trying her hand at whatever artistic pursuit strikes her fancy. J.A. Howell resides in Apopka, FL with her husband and their menagerie of animal children.
Trying to piece together the events surrounding Brody’s death proves to be a daunting task, but Harley can’t give up. Brody won’t let her. He is still in the apartment with her, trapped in limbo until she finds his killer.
But he’s not waiting for revenge.
Harley’s next.

New Adult Author: Dawn Pendleton
Dawn Pendleton is a new adult author currently residing in New England with her husband and their pup, though she has immediate plans to move to Georgia and promptly become a Southern Belle. When she isn’t staring at a blank page, willing the words to jump from her head to the screen, she’s usually playing on her iPhone, reading a book, or taking pictures with her fancy camera (which she has no idea how to use).
Her newest release, the first novella in the Best Friends Forever Series, was an idea that occurred to her back in February, when she first started writing. She wasn’t at a place where she could write them, though, so she started her Broken Series, instead. Through this past Summer, the BFF series emerged in her head, taking more space until she finally had to let them out. Liar, Liar, the first episode in the series, released this past Tuesday and is free on all retailers except Amazon
Liar, Liar
Hazel is a freshman at Coastal Carolina and looking forward to making new friends. When she meets Roman, she’s head over heels for him. There’s one problem, though: he’s still hung up on Hazel’s roommate, Cheyanne. But Cheyanne has a secret, one that has the potential to ruin her life in college. When Hazel learns the secret, she’s determined to use it against Cheyanne to win over Roman. She never imagines her plan could backfire, leaving her as a pariah among her new circle of friends.
The BFF series follows the lives of new adults, Hazel, Miranda, Cheyanne, Destiny, Audric, Nolan, Andre, and Roman. Follow their stories as the first season of novellas are released once a week from September to March.

As she struggles to pick up the pieces, a vision of a man with haunting tourmaline-blue eyes begs her for help, and she is transported into a Magykal battle-forever changing her life.
Arik Morgaine - Demigod bad boy and outcast of the Magykal Realm – tried to avoid contact with Princess Quinn for eighteen years, not wanting to make good on an old threat. But the fates have other plans. Arik can no longer deny his growing desire for Quinn, or the need to protect her from those wanting to control her burgeoning powers.
Can the two of them come together and save the Magykal Realm from being destroyed by the Darkest of Magyks?

Pimp Me Out
Hi y’all. Just a short and sweet love note asking you to share and review. I love doing this with my friends as well. Believe it or not, I turned a non-reader into a READER over the past few months while pimping out my favorite authors. Introducing authors like Melanie Walker, Jessica Sorensen, Tabatha Vargo, and Jasinda Wilder has created a bond between us and she is just as addicted as I am! Now, she has plenty of book boyfriends to love! Most of my favorite authors are Indie and I wouldn’t have it any other way! So, if you liked SAVE and you can’t wait until BROKEN…SHARE! Spread the love!

New Adult Author Promo Thursday
Once upon a time, there was a little girl who fell in love with books. Then she grew up to write her own.
Jade has participated in National Novel Writing Month (NaNoWriMo) six times and enjoys copious amounts of coffee. When she’s not writing, she enjoys trashy reality T.V. and reading everything she can get her hands on.
Mommy to two dogs and two naughty kitties, she feels like she might be on her way to having a zoo. You can find her on almost every social networking site that aids in her procrastination.
The Right Kind of Wrong:
Nothing stays hidden forever.
Kara Pierce has held onto the same dream since she was a little girl: to be the next Katie Couric.
Vince Gage, a budding filmmaker whose I-don’t-give-a-shit attitude cancels out his char,. almost ruined it for her once, and now he’s back, threatening to do it again.
When the two of them are paired together for a college competition with a $20,000 prize, the only thing they agree on is winning.
They return to Iowa where Kara grew up to research her grandfather’s service in World War II, instead they find themselves in the middle of a family scandal kept quiet for far too long.
As Kara and Vince investigate the scandal deeper, they realize the price of uncovering the truth is so much more than they bargained for.

I’m Back….
Hello:
I’m back from vacation. I have hunkered down and given up all my free time to devote to BROKEN.
I’m so excited to have Mae I Design working on the Ebook cover. I have admired her work for a very long time. I know whatever she comes up with, it will be beautiful.
Also, I have a few awesome BETAs helping me with the revisions of SAVE and editing of BROKEN. My work will still be self-published without professional editing. These lovely chicks have given up their free time to help me. I am eternally grateful for their help!
Later tonight, I will have the playlist for BROKEN published. I hope you have the opportunity to check out the music.
I am hoping to have SAVE in print very soon. I will keep everyone updated and will hopefully have a giveaway in the near future.
~Ella
