Exalted is out + updates
Exalted is out - finally! It's been out for a while, but I've been neglecting my blog and my Twitter and updating only my Facebook pages. I spend most of my time on Facebook, so if you want to join me, you can friend me at www.facebook.com/ellajamesbooks, or you can follow me on my official author page at www.facebook.com/ellajamesauthorpage. The friendable page was created first, but I'm gradually moving to the official author page. For now, I maintain both of them, so you can take your pick. Oh, and did I mention I give free stuff away ALL THE TIME?
Okay. I give free stuff away all the time! :) Kindles, gift cards, jewelry, books... I've even given away two pairs of Julia's super cool Converse All-Stars. One of my future giveaways will include tickets to utopYAcon 2013. If you're here at the blog today, Saturday, November 10 (American time), be sure to go by my Facebook pages, because I'm giving away a Kindle!
Exalted is available right now at BN.com (for Nook), and at Amazon.com. You can find some of the links on the sidebar to the right of here. Exalted will soon be available at Smashwords.com and Kobo.com. I can post it to Kobo soon, but I have to have someone format it for me, for Smashwords. Still, I hope to have it for sale at both places very soon. It's distributed to the iBookstore via Smashwords, so as soon as I submit it there, it'll be on its way to the iBookstore.
Now that the Stained Series is finished, I've shifted my attention to the Here Trilogy. If you haven't already started Milo and Nick's story, you can find it at Amazon, and also at BN.com. It's YA paranormal romance, just like the Stained Series. The second book in the Here Trilogy is called Trapped, and I'm having a great time with it. Writing in first-person (from the "I" perspective, as if I am the character) is a lot easier for me than third-person (in Stained, I refer to everyone as "he" and "she", like I'm a narrator). It's been a refreshing change, after so many Stained books in third-person.
I'm hoping to have Trapped ready by the first week of December, but as always, I can't be sure. I'm not giving an official release date until my editor has done his first read-through of the story. Still, I'm super excited about this release, and I have a good feeling about the timeline.
Regina from Mae I Design is doing the Trapped cover, as well as a cover for my next release: January's Wilderness. I'm hoping to put that book out before the new year. It's different than what I've published so far, and I really think you'll like it. It's new adult/adult contemporary romance with a pretty big thrill/suspense-factor and a really hot hero. January is such a fascinating character with so many secrets. One day she just started talking in my head, so I've had to rearrange my writing schedule to accommodate her. I can't tell you much about her story without spilling some of her secrets, but I'll try to post a blurb sometime soon.
After that, it's Obsession's turn. That one is what I call a 'hometown love story', kind of like Jessica Sorensen's The Secret of Ella and Micah or My Heart for Yours, by Steph Campbell and Jolene Perry. The guy and girl go way back, and their obsession takes them all the way to Hollywood, where he's a musician and she becomes a celebrity photographer. I'll try to give you more info about that one soon, too, but it's classic contemporary romance, spanning about ten years. The way I plan to 'follow' the heroine, Paisley Gray, reminds me a little of author Lisa Kleypas's treatment of Liberty Jones in her contemporary romance, Sugar Daddy. Which is to say, Obsession is really Paisley's story, and there just so happens to be a whole lot of recurring Trent (the hero).
The Obsession cover can be found further down on this page (it's gray and white - a couple making out behind a car window). I'm excited to share the January's Wilderness cover with you, when Regina finishes it.
Oh, and in case you're a Here fan, don't worry - I'm going to finish that trilogy pretty soon: probably in February.

More soon,
Ella
