    Black Widow, Elemental Assassin #12, up for pre-order …

    Book #12Just a reminder that Black Widow, Elemental Assassin #12, is up for pre-order. The book will be released in print, e-book, and audio editions on Nov. 25.

    Black Widow is up for pre-order at the following sites:

    Amazon / Barnes & Noble / Books-A-Million / IndieBound / iTunes / Kobo

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

    Spoiler warning: Here is the back cover copy for Black Widow. Please note that this does contain some spoilers, so if you absolutely do not want to be spoiled, you may want to skip reading the next few paragraphs.

    There’s nothing worse than a cruel, cunning enemy with time to kill—and my murder to plan.

    With wicked Fire elemental Mab Monroe long gone, you’d think I could finally catch a break. But someone’s always trying to take me down, either as Gin Blanco or my assassin alter-ago. Now along comes the Spider’s new arch-nemesis, the mysteriously named M. M. Monroe, who is gleefully working overtime to trap me in a sticky web of deceit.

    The thing is, I’m not the only target. I can see through the tangled threads enough to know that every bit of bad luck my friends have been having lately is no accident—and that each unfortunate “coincidence” is just one more arrow drawing ever closer to hitting the real bulls-eye. Though new to Ashland, this M. M. Monroe is no stranger to irony, trying to get me, an assassin, framed for murder. Yet, as my enemy’s master plan is slowly revealed, I have a sinking feeling that it will take more than my powerful Ice and Stone magic to stop my whole life from going up in flames.

    In other words: This book will feature the Gin and M.M. Monroe smackdown that you guys have been waiting for. 😉

    Bring on next week!

    Halloween book signing at Mountain Empire Comics …

    I will be signing books on Saturday, Oct. 25, at Mountain Empire Comics in Bristol, Tenn. as part of the store’s annual Halloween event.

    I will be signing books from noon-2 p.m. (or maybe even 3 p.m.), depending on the crowd. The street outside the store will be closed off so vendors can set up, and some other Halloween events will be going on in downtown Bristol as well that day. So come on out, and join in the fun.

    I will have print copies of all three of my current series to sign — Elemental Assassin; Mythos Academy; and Bigtime. Since I have 20-plus books out now, I only bring a few copies of each one to signings. So if you know you’re going to be at the signing and want a specific book, please leave a comment on this blog post, and let me know which book you want so I can (hopefully) have enough copies of each title.

    It should be a fun event. Hope to see you there!
