Immune Cover Reveal, Release Date & W!N Stuff!

The moment you, and I, have all been waiting for is finally here!  IMMUNE has a cover and a release date! I'm so excited about this second book that I have TWO amazing giveaways for you!  

First thing is first....here is IMMUNE!

GENRE: Urban Fantasy

AGE GROUP: Adult

RELEASE DATE:  March 6th 2013

 

 

BOOK DESCRIPTION 

*Warning* I’m so sorry Mom, this one will be no good for you to read either. There is a full on sex scene (nipples and everything), violence and well, lots of bad words. You know— the ones you used to wash my mouth out with soap for? Consider yourself warned.

Underestimating demons is a bad idea, and it’s a mistake Rylee may pay for with not only her life, but the life of a child who has gone missing. 

That is, unless she allows O’Shea to help her; trusting the man who once sought for a way to bring her down. 

If only life were that simple. And in Rylee’s world, it rarely is.

 

 

DON'T FORGET WHERE IT ALL BEGAN...

PRICELESS (BOOK 1)

GENRE: Urban Fantasy

AGE GROUP: Adult men and women  

RELEASE DATE:  November 11th 2012

BOOK DESCRIPTION 

*Warning* If you are my mother, do not read this book. There are things like "F" bombs, sexual tension, and naughty, sexy supernatural creatures. Please don't say I didn't warn you.

When children go missing without a trace, there is only one person who can find them.

Welcome to the world of Rylee Adamson, a woman with unique abilities, some wild friends and a unstoppable drive to save those who can't save themselves.

But when the details of a missing child duplicate that of her worst case, things start to get freaky. And not in a good way.

"Thought the plot was interesting and the characters well developed"

Keeping up with Demand #amwriting

So, you might have noticed I all but disappeared off the blog circuit. Hmm. No? Here’s what I’ve been up to since the middle of December when my last blog went out, for those of you who are interested . . .

Writing, writing, writing, interrupted for holidays, writing, writing, writing. Obviously though, no blog writing.

Right now, “Immune” the sequel to “Priceless” (and the one that I’ve been focusing on) is off to the editors. For the moment, the release date is March 2013 (early if all continues to go well). Then, it’s off to book #3, #4, #5 etc . . . .The plan is to have at least 4 more books out by the end of 2013.

For now, what this means is that my blog may suffer a little, and for that I apologize. I will do my best to keep up at least here and there, and for sure, I will have announcements when new releases, cover art etc are coming down the pike. But, for now, to keep my readers happy, I’m focusing on my writing. You know, the kind that turns into books . ;-)

W!N a copy of Priceless, a sexy Urban fantasy Mystery

For anyone who hasn't yet picked up "Priceless" there is a contest running over at FREEBOOKSY where you can enter to win 1 of 10 kindle copies. Get over there while the getting is good, there is a time limit on how long you have to enter.

And if you are reading this, there is a good chance you already have qualified (which makes entering the contest even easier!)

Okay, that's it for today. I'm off to get some writing done now. I promise to write a full on blog post in the near future. ;p

Need Amazing Cover Art? #amwriting



I've introduced you before, but I want you to all say hi to Ryan Bibby, cover artist extrordinaire! Ryan lives in New Zealand with his wife and kids and is building up his clientele list as a cover artist. Not only his he an AMAZING artist that SERIOUSLY will knock your socks off. He produces high quality work that stands alongside some of the BEST covers in the industry. There is no doubt in my mind that without his amazing covers, my books wouldn't sell even half as well as they do. People judge books by their covers, plain and simple.

Its a funny story how I met Ryan. You remember the cover art polls I was doing late last year? Ryan contacted me and offered his services as a prize for the cover art that recieved the lowest number of votes. Aww, what a sweetie! I did point out that might not go over so well with the "winner" of the new cover art, so instead we did a draw off another posting all about Ryan. If you want to check that out, click HERE.

After that, it was all downhill! Just kidding!

 Ryan put together my Zombie-ish Apopcalypse cover art, Ingredients of a Cauldron and my most recent title, Priceless. He works across the board with different genres, and honestly is FABULOUSLY easy to work with.
Ryan is still building his clientele list, so if you are looking for cover art, I can recommend Ryan without reservation as a talented artist, great guy and all around workhorse when it comes to making sure your cover art is spot on.

So take a minute and check out just a few of Ryan's cover art in a variety of genres.

To contact Ryan email him at ryan.a.bibby@gmail.com OR you can check out his new website

Do you read excerpts?

That's the question of the day. I see people (I should say authors) putting up excerpts of their books, quite often as #SampleSundays but not only. With the KDP program, authors cannot put excerpts up on their blogs, (which seems odd seeing as it is a form of advertising) but that's a post for another day.

What I want to know is, do you read excerpts? Ever? A little? Leave a comment, let's get a discussion going because I'd really like to know.

Because I don't read excerpts. Ever. Not even my favorite authors. I read the blurb, maybe a few reviews and then decide. But maybe I'm missing the boat here. Of course, part of my reason for questioning is this . . .

Before I put up my next books, before they go into the KDP select program and I can no longer share like this, would you like to see excerpts?

Like from "The Chronicles of Sin: Gluttony" or my new Urban Fantasy "Priceless" or maybe even from my contemporary romance I've just started, "High Risk Love."

Again, this is because I don't read excerpts, but maybe you do, and maybe you want to see more from me . . . (or less, I suppose that's possible too!)
