Everyone who is signed up for my Release News, will get the email tomorrow with the free Smashwords Coupon for The Binding of the Wolf. You can download it in any format from that site.
I was actually shocked that Amazon pushed the book out already. But you guys should try to wait till the end of the party to get it, if you haven't, as the winner of the games will get a free Kindle copy.
Hey Everyone! I have a teaser for you. 7 lines from my prologue. I hope you enjoy. :)* * * * * * * * * * * * * * *
Darkness falls, and the moon hangs high and bright atop a shield of mist. The glowing orb is ambivalent to my worry about being easier to track, but at least it gives light to walk by. The fog thickens with each passing hour as I move steadily toward the sea. Serpent-like, it twists and writhes, then billows up in alarming gusts, enveloping us in its pearly, biting embrace. Despite my chattering teeth, I take solace in the icy wind because it means we must be getting closer.
I see a nearly imperceptible movement from the corner of my eye. A dark shadow hovers on a tree limb high above, out of place in the misty forest. Then the fog shifts, and the shadow disappears in a smear of white like the rest of the world. But I know what it is.
So this is it, then. I have come so far, but the beast will get me before I reach safety. The fear and panic that have been building within me for days have finally driven me to my wit’s end. I will stop this now.
“Show yourself!” I shout. “Let me look upon the face that will end my life and the life of this innocent child.”
The shadow leaps from the trees above me, and the man—no, the beast who used to be a man—stands before me now. Tall and powerful with long fangs cutting into his lip. Dirty and ragged, the tattered remnants of clothes hanging off him. Then he speaks, and his voice is that of a man. “I have no wish to harm you. I’ve seen what happens to those who kill to ease their craving.”
His sharp eyes pierce me.
I don’t believe him, and though I tremble in fear, I bite back. “Then why do you stand over me while I sleep and gaze at my neck with longing? Why, even now, do your eyes flit to the lifeblood pulsing there?”
I'm reading Meljean Brooks "Guardian" series and her Vampires think with extra proficiency and speed as well. So in her world, this would be true. But sadly you are correct in the Bluebell Kildare series. :)
I am not yet in my cackling and rubbing my hands together in glee phase yet, but I can't manage to wipe the grin from my face and I'm laughing an awful lot. :)
Ohh, I'm all happy about quoting, as long as you proof it first. :) I cannot be trusted on my own. Haha!
Carol, You are quoting me! I hope you are proofing me before you quote though. :) You know how bad I am.

I checked in with the Narrator and she is able to start the audio toward the end of August, so we are planning for production to start them. So, roughly, I project the end of September.
