Sentinel and Seth news!

I had such a wonderful time at the Sentinel and Frigid release date in Philly this weekend. I wanted to do a few thank yous first. Thanks to Damaris from Good Choice Reading for picking me up and hanging with me most of the weekend. I thanked her by showing her the “Bad Lip Reading of Walking Dead” and so I think it was a win for both of us.

Also, thank you Damaris and Good Choice Reading for taking online orders. That is awesome of you guys to take on that extra work for the love of books.

Another huge thank you for Kate and the team at Spencer Hill and Cindy Thomas for setting up the signing and doing all the leg work. I kind of just showed up, ran my mouth and signed books. You guys did the hard work.

And thank you Danielle for driving my ass back home because there were a lot of people running in the streets of Philly and across the bridge, giving me visions of Cloverfield, and I ended up missing my train and then some.

Thank you to Jen and Hannah for being there, and for bringing cupcakes.

Jen made “Cuddle Bunny” cupcakes for Seth! Aha! I want to eat the ears.

Also thank you for the tub of peanut butter icing. Tee hee.

Another thank you to Vi and her ENTIRE family for coming out and being awesome as usual. She made a cake that looked like the Sentinel book. I mean, it really looked like a book.

Seriously. That’s a cake, people.  I got to eat my name. Something that doesn’t happen a lot.

And of course, thank you to Barnes and Noble and everyone who came out to the signing! I was so happy to see so many excited people. You guys blow me away. For real. I heart you. When you guys squealed at the one moment, it made my heart go all fuzzy. This was definitely one event I’ll remember for a very long time.

Now onto the news that was announced at the signing.

 

Meep! You guys have no idea how hard it was to keep this quiet with everyone asking about Seth and if he’ll have his own book or novella or bonus scene.  Seth won’t have a novella or a bonus scene.

He’ll have his own series.

Here are the details that I can share with you now.  Let’s LEARN about it. Giggle. Get it? Look at the picture.

Seth’s book, called THE RETURN is a TITAN NOVEL. It is NOT a part of the Covenant series, meaning this series can actually standalone from the previous books.

Quick facts:

1. The Return will be in dual POV (Seth and our main protagonist)

2. You have NOT met the female lead yet.

3. The female lead has absolutely no knowledge of gods and any of that

4. Since it’s a Titan novel, you can expect… the Titans.

5. Apollo will be all up in the book, because well, it’s Apollo and I sort of like him.

6. Deacon and Luke will make appearances, but other main characters will not be featured in this series. (Not giving details to avoid as much spoilers as possible)

7. The biggest difference is that the Titan series will be New Adult paranormal. And here’s the reason why. I never gave Seth’s birthday, but he’s always been well over the age of 18 years old, and I really have no real reason bringing him into a high school environment without making him look like a creeper. And he already has enough creeper tendencies as is, so he really is too old for YA. Does that mean the book will be inappropriate for younger readers? Absolutely not.  Will it have more adult content? Probably. I mean, Seth was always borderline inappropriate, but my YA books have that, so….

8. And it will be releasing in early 2015, tentatively February 2015 in both print and digital.

That’s all I can share right now, but I’m super excited about this and I hope you guys are too!

Here is the actual picture, all pretty and what not. A big thank you to Okay Creations for knocking this cover placement art out of the ballpark.

He soooooo looks like Seth to me.

Keep in mind, this is not the final cover. It may be tweaked a little. It may be completely redone. But I like it nonetheless. I also like the ‘single, perfect tear’ thing Seth’s got going on.

You know. Like this.

Jen really wants some Seth.
