So Touch of Frost has been released today, July 26. Happy release day to me! Huzzah! Huzzah! Huzzah!

Okay, okay, I’ll quit huzzahing now. 😉

Touch of Frost is the first book in my Mythos Academy young adult urban fantasy series. Here’s the description:

My name is Gwen Frost, and I go to Mythos Academy — a school of myths, magic and warrior whiz kids, where even the lowliest geek knows how to chop off somebody’s head with a sword and Logan Quinn, the hottest Spartan guy in school, also happens to be the deadliest.

But lately, things have been weird, even for Mythos. First, mean girl Jasmine Ashton was murdered in the Library of Antiquities. Then, someone stole the Bowl of Tears, a magical artifact that can be used to bring about the second Chaos War. You know, death, destruction and lots of other bad, bad things. Freaky stuff like this goes on all the time at Mythos, but I’m determined to find out who killed Jasmine and why — especially since I should have been the one who died …

Basically, the book features myths, magic, monsters, and mean girls. Also, First Frost, a prequel e-story to the series, is available as a 99-cent download from Amazon, Barnes & Noble, and other online booksellers.

I just want to say thanks to everyone who’s e-mailed me to say that they are looking forward to the book. I know some folks may be hesitant about trying a YA book, but Touch of Frost has a lot of the same elements as my Elemental Assassin series does — a strong, sassy heroine, magic, lots of fight scenes, and a little romance. So I think folks who like the Elemental Assassin books will find a lot to like in Touch of Frost as well. Fingers crossed, anyway.

I hope folks have as much fun reading the book as I did writing it, and that everyone enjoys the Mythos Academy series just as much as they do the Elemental Assassin series. Happy reading, everyone! 😉
