Look what's out! (Updated)
Well, it looks like I published this post too early. So, here are a couple of pieces of news I left out, and below is the main post/release announcement:
News the first: My Soul To Keep has been shortlisted for The People’s Book Prize. The finalists were chosen by committee, but the finalists are now up for public vote. If you liked My Soul to Keep and would like to vote, click here for details.
News the second: The internet is a very powerful tool. And a very fast tool. Evidence? I got scooped. Again. We were waiting for a better time to announce this, but since Goodreads beat us to the punch… In December, Harlequin Teen will release a Soul Screamers omnibus including “My Soul to Lose” (the ebook prequel in print for the first time!!!), My Soul To Take, and My Soul To Save.
I’m very, very excited about this. Not only is this your chance to read MSTLose in print for the first time, you can get it and the first two novels all together for around ten dollars (US). (Don’t quote me on the price, but I believe that’s what I heard.) So if you’ve been thinking about starting the series, this is a very convenient, cost-effective way to do that.
I haven’t seen a cover yet, but I’m sure it’ll be awesome. When I have a preorder
(In case you didn’t see it yesterday, I’m giving away an ARC of Enthralled here.)
I spent all day yesterday at Six Flags (It was 99 degrees. What was I thinking?) and completely forgot to announce that yesterday was the official release for Chicks Kick Butt!
I’m so thrilled to be a part of this urban fantasy anthology along with an amazing list of contributors, including two of my fellow Deadline Dames. And I’m extra thrilled because this anthology gave me a chance to write what is so far the only Shifters-world short story I’ve written. Thanks so much to Kerrie Hughes and Rachel Caine (the editors) for including me!
My story is called “Hunt” and it features Abby (Faythe’s cousin from Stray) a couple of years after Alpha/the end of the series. In the story, Abby goes on a camping trip with some of her college roommates and things go horribly wrong. Naturally. This story is my take on the out-in-the-woods slasher category, but with a Shifters twist. It was fun to write, and it was great to see Abby come into her own.
Here’s the official blurb:
About the Chicks Kick ButtChicks are awesome–and never more so than when they are kicking some serious vampire/werewolf/demon/monster butt.
