    This is the beginning of my blog tour for Tangled Threads, which comes out on April 26 (only a week to go now!). For the next three weeks or so, I’ll be doing guest blogs at a variety of sites. I’ll link to the sites here on the blog every morning, as well as on my Facebook and Twitter pages, although some of the posts won’t go up until later in the day, depending on the other blogs’ schedules.

    In the posts, I’ll be talking about everything from writing to food to my favorite books to doing some Q&As. There will also be lots of giveaways of Tangled Threads. I hope everyone enjoys the posts. Happy reading! 😉

  • Touch of Frost bookmarks …

    10 Comments

    I’ve finally gotten bookmarks made for Touch of Frost, the first book in my Mythos Academy young adult urban fantasy series that’s coming out on July 26. Huzzah! Here’s a look at the front of the bookmark. Pretty cool, huh? 😉

    As always, the bookmarks are free to readers, librarians, bookstores, or whoever wants one. However, I do ask that folks send me a self-addressed stamped envelope (SASE) with two first-class U.S. stamps on it in order to get the bookmarks. This helps me out with postage costs. If you’re interested in getting some bookmarks, e-mail me.

    Here’s the back cover copy for the book:

    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 …

    Touch of Frost will be out on July 26. First Frost, a prequel e-story to the series, will also be out in July as a download, although I don’t have the exact release date on that one yet. I’ll keep you posted.

    Kiss of Frost back cover copy …

    8 Comments

    Okay, I’ve gotten the back cover copy for Kiss of Frost, the second book in my Mythos Academy young adult urban fantasy series:

    Logan Quinn was try­ing to kill me. My Spar­tan class­mate relent­lessly pur­sued me, swing­ing his sword at me over and over again, the shin­ing sil­ver blade inch­ing closer to my throat every time. A smile tugged up his lips, and his ice-blue eyes prac­ti­cally glowed with the thrill of battle …

    I’m Gwen Frost, a second-year warrior-in-training at Mythos Acad­emy, and I have no idea how I’m going to sur­vive the rest of the semes­ter. One day, I’m get­ting schooled in sword­play by the guy who broke my heart — the drop-dead gor­geous Logan who slays me every time. Then, an invis­i­ble archer in the Library of Antiq­ui­ties decides to use me for tar­get prac­tice. And now, I find out that some­one at the acad­emy is really a Reaper bad guy who wants me dead. I’m afraid if I don’t learn how to live by the sword — with Logan’s help — I just might die by the sword …

    Sounds pretty cool, huh? Or maybe I’m just a little biased. 😉

    By the way, I let Wheezley, my significant other read this one, and he called it my girly angsty book. LOL. So make of that what you will.

    Anyway, Kiss of Frost is out on Nov. 29. I’ll be posting the cover art when it becomes available.

    Tangled Threads short stories …

    12 Comments

    I’ve finally posted the two short stories that go along with Tangled Threads. Here’s a description of the two stories:

    Tangled Dreams: This short story takes place in between the events of Venom and Tangled Threads. It’s told from the points of view of Jo-Jo Deveraux and her sister, Sophia Deveraux. When a carjacker follows an injured Gin back to Jo-Jo’s beauty salon, Jo-Jo and Sophia join forced to eliminate the threat. Click here to read it.

    Tangled Schemes: This short story spans a period of time starting from the last chapter of Spider’s Bite and ending right before the beginning of Tangled Threads. It’s told from Detective Bria Coolidge’s point of view and shows her search for her long-lost sister Genevieve Snow. What Bria doesn’t know is what she’s going to do about the fact that Genevieve also happens to be the assassin the Spider. Click here to read it.

    You can find these stories as well as all the others that I’ve written for the Elemental Assassin series on the Excerpts page. I hope everyone enjoys the stories. And just think, it’s only two weeks now until Tangled Threads comes out on April 26.

    Happy reading! 😉
