    Jennifer’s new newsletter — and new books coming soon …

    2 Comments

    I have updated my newsletter. With the new format, I’ll be sharing my latest book news/releases, recommendations for books and more, and a recipe.

    SIGN UP FOR MY NEWSLETTER HERE.

    Check out the October newsletter.

    I usually send the newsletter out once a month, as well as on book release days. Here is some news that I shared in the October newsletter:

    New Mythos Academy and Elemental Assassin books coming soon

    I am writing more Mythos Academy books. Woot! This is a spinoff series, and the new books star Rory Forseti, Gwen’s cousin from Midnight Frost and Killer Frost, books #5 and #6 in the original series. Gwen is NOT the heroine in these books, although she and some of the other characters from the original series make cameo appearances in the spinoff books.

    The first spinoff book is called Spartan Heart, and I am hoping to self-publish it before the end of the year.

    In Elemental Assassin news, Gin and the gang will be back with a new adventure called Venom in Her Veins. From this point on, I will be self-publishing the series. I am hoping to release Venom in Her Veins in spring 2018, but we’ll see what happens.

    I’ll be sharing cover art, excerpts, and more for both book series as they become available, so stay tuned for more.

    I hope that everyone enjoys the new newsletter format, as well as the book news. I’m excited to be writing more Mythos Academy and Elemental Assassin books. Cheers! 🙂

    Kill the Queen epic fantasy series …

    2 Comments

    I’m thrilled to announce that I will be writing an epic fantasy series. Woot! Woot!

    The first book in the series is called Kill the Queen, and I believe that the series name will also be Kill the Queen.

    As of right now, there will be three books in the series, which will be published by HarperVoyager. Kill the Queen is tentatively scheduled to be published in September 2018, but that is subject to change.

    Here’s my pitch for Kill the Queen — Gladiator meets Game of Thrones with a kick-ass heroine.

    Kill the Queen will be similar in some ways to my Elemental Assassin and other series. The books will be written in first-person from the heroine’s point of view. There will also be lots of action, magic, and fight scenes. The first book will also have some flashback scenes. But everything will be on a bit of a grander scale, since, you know, it’s epic fantasy.

    I’m really excited about the new series. I’ve always loved reading epic fantasy, and the very first book that I ever wrote was an epic fantasy. So writing an epic fantasy series myself is a dream come true for me. 🙂

    I’ve set up a Kill the Queen page for the series on my website, and I’ll share more information — cover art, blurbs, excerpts, etc. — as it becomes available.

    So this means that I am currently juggling three series — Kill the Queen, Elemental Assassin, and Mythos Academy spinoff. Three series is a lot to keep track of and work on, so you guys might have to wait a little longer in between books, depending on which series you like/follow. I will not be writing any more Bigtime books in the foreseeable future. I just have too many other books/series to work on. I’ll be sharing release dates, cover art, and more for these three series as well, as they become available.

    So be patient. I am writing/working on all three series as fast as I can. Thanks!

    Snared, Elemental Assassin #16, released today …

    2 Comments

    Book #16 Snared, book #16 in my Elemental Assassin urban fantasy series, has been released today, April 25. Woot!

    Snared is available in print, e-book, and audiobook formats at all the usual book retailers:

    Amazon Kindle / Amazon paperback / Barnes & Noble e-book / Barnes & Noble print book / Books-A-Million / Google Play / iBooks / IndieBound / Kobo

    Audible / Amazon audiobook

    The audiobook will be available through Audible and Amazon, and the awesome Lauren Fortgang will once again be the narrator.

    Here is the description for Snared. Note: This contains some spoilers from previous books in the series, starting with Bitter Bite, book #14. So if you haven’t read that far in the series yet, you may want to avoid reading the description below:

    The sixteenth book in the New York Times bestselling Elemental Assassin urban fantasy series that RT Book Reviews calls, “An extraordinary series…[containing] one of the most intriguing heroines in the genre.”

    If you don’t know Gin “the Spider” Blanco, you don’t know dangerous female heroines.

    Irony 101—The Spider herself snared in someone else’s web …

    Another week, another few clues trickling in about the Circle, the mysterious group that supposedly runs the city’s underworld. Gathering intel on my hidden enemies is a painstaking process, but a more immediate mystery has popped up on my radar: a missing girl.

    My search for the girl begins on the mean streets of Ashland, but with all the killers and crooks in this city, I’m not holding out much hope that she’s still alive.

    A series of clues leads me down an increasingly dark, dangerous path, and I realize that the missing girl is really just the first thread in this web of evil. As an assassin, I’m used to facing down the worst of the worst, but nothing prepares me for this new, terrifying enemy—one who strikes from the shadows and is determined to make me the next victim.

    You can read the first chapter of Snared by going here. Scroll down, and click on the Read Excerpt tab.

    I had a lot of fun writing this book, and I hope that everyone enjoys Gin’s latest adventure in Snared.

    Note: Some folks have been asking about future books in the series. As of right now, I’m planning to write three more books after Snared. I’m hoping to publish book #17 in the series in the fall of 2017. So stay tuned for more information.
