    Spider and Frost set for Sept. 26 . . .

    Spider and Frost, an Elemental Assassin and Mythos Academy crossover novella, will be released Sept. 26. Woot!

    Spider and Frost is a 28,000-word crossover novella that features the first-person points of view of Gin Blanco and Gwen Frost. Readers have been asking me for crossover stories for years, and this was a lot of fun for me to write. 😎

    ABOUT THE PRINT BOOK:

    There will not be an individual print book for Spider and Frost, given its short length. However, the novella will be included in the print books of Stings and Stones, the Elemental Assassin short story collection that will be out on Nov. 28:

    ABOUT THE AUDIOBOOKS:

    At this point, I do not think that Spider and Frost will be available as an audiobook, so if you want to read the novella as soon as it comes out, you will have to get the ebook. If an audiobook becomes available, I will let everyone know. Thanks for reading!

    SPIDER AND FROST DESCRIPTION:

    New York Times bestselling author Jennifer Estep delivers an epic team-up featuring beloved characters from her Elemental Assassin urban fantasy series and her Mythos Academy young adult series. This crossover novella, Spider and Frost, mixes magic and mythology in an action-packed adventure. Perfect for fans of Ilona Andrews, Jennifer L. Armentrout, and Rick Riordan.

    WHEN AN ASSASSIN . . .
    My name is Gin Blanco, and I’m on vacation. Sort of. As the assassin the Spider, it’s hard for me to completely relax, but I’m determined to enjoy a scenic train ride and a nice, quiet lunch before heading back home to Ashland.

    My plans change when Gwen Frost boards the train. The girl says she’s heading back to Mythos Academy, the fancy private boarding school, but I can’t shake the feeling that Gwen is hiding something—and is in far more trouble than she realizes.

    . . . MEETS A CHAMPION
    My name is Gwen Frost. I might have saved the world from Loki, the evil Norse god of chaos, but I’m still chasing down Reaper villains. It’s all part of being the Champion of Nike, the Greek goddess of victory.

    I’ve been assigned to protect some mythological artifacts that are being transported via train to Mythos Academy, but some Reapers are hot on my trail, and they’ll do anything to recover the artifacts—and kill me.

    Also on the train is Gin Blanco, who claims to be the owner of the Pork Pit barbecue restaurant. My psychometry magic keeps whispering that there’s more to her than meets the eye, although I can’t tell if Gin is a friend, an enemy, or something else entirely.

    Note: Spider and Frostis a 28,000-word crossover novella between the Elemental Assassin urban fantasy series and the Mythos Academy young adult series. It is told from the points of view of Gin Blanco and Gwen Frost.

    Spider and Frost takes place after the events of Last Strand, book 19 in the Elemental Assassin series.

    Question: What is your book release schedule for 2023?

    Answer: Here is my projected 2023 release schedule. Note that some of these projects/dates could change due to various publishing and life/schedule whims:

    March 7 – Conquer the Kingdom, Gargoyle Queen #3 – This will be the finale to Gemma’s story, and there is an epic fight scene in the book.

    May 9 – Heart Stings, Elemental Assassin novella #19.5 – Heart Stings takes place after the events of Last Strand and is from the point of view of Lorelei Parker.

    July 18 – Only Good Enemies, Galactic Bonds #2 – This book will feature the points of view of Vesper Quill and Kyrion Caldaren, just like Only Bad Options.

    September – Elemental Assassin/Mythos Academy crossover novella – This will feature Gin Blanco and Gwen Frost.

    November – Elemental Assassin short story collection – This will feature stories from my website, various anthologies, etc.

    December – Galactic Bonds novella – This might feature Zane Zimmer’s point of view.

    Section 47 series – I am planning to continue my Section 47 urban fantasy, spies-with-magic series, and I hope to start writing book #3 later this year.

    That’s what I have in the works for 2023, although some of this might change, as I get further along in the production process on each project. Thank you for reading.

    What books are you looking forward to reading this year?

    SPARTAN DESTINY DESCRIPTION:

    This Spartan makes her own destiny . . .

    Most kids at the Colorado branch of Mythos Academy know me as Rory Forseti, the daughter of Reaper assassins. Secretly, I’m a member of Team Midgard, a group of students and adults tasked with stopping Covington, the evil leader of the Reapers of Chaos. For me, the mission is a deeply personal one, since Covington is also the man who murdered my parents.

    When my friends and I get a lead on a powerful artifact that Covington wants to steal, we think we finally have a chance to thwart the Reapers and stop them for good. Team Midgard comes up with a plan, but everything goes sideways, and I’m suddenly in the fight of my life.

    My worst fears might have come true, but I know what my Spartan destiny is—to save my friends, or die trying . . .

    Note: This series is set in my Mythos Academy young adult urban fantasy world. 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.
