    Reminder: Five Elemental Assassin e-books on sale through Jan. 21 …

    Spider's RevengeJust a reminder that the e-books for the first five Elemental Assassin urban fantasy booksSpider’s Bite, Web of Lies, Venom, Tangled Threads, and Spider’s Revenge— are currently on sale for $2.99 each.

    The sale is in effect at all the major e-book retailers — Amazon, Barnes & Noble, Books-A-Million, Kobo, iTunes, etc. The e-book sale will run through Monday, Jan. 21.

    Again, I think this is really cool, since folks who buy the e-books can get a complete story arc of my heroine, Gin Blanco, aka the assassin the Spider, taking on her nemesis. The story arc spans the first five books in the series.

    You can find the descriptions and covers for the various books on my Books at a Glance page (although please note that some of the descriptions do contain spoilers). Also, folks can check out the first chapter of each book on the Excerpts page of my website, along with several free short stories.

    Hope folks get a chance to check out the e-books. Happy reading!

    Nightingale, Bigtime book #4, e-published …

    NightingaleI’m happy to announce that I have e-published Nightingale, the fourth book in my Bigtime superhero paranormal romance series. Huzzah!

    Here’s the book description:

    Anxious brides. Drunken businessmen. Panicked partygoers. As Bigtime, New York’s premiere event planner, Abby Appleby is capable of handling almost any crisis, but even she’s not prepared when she finds herself in the middle of a fight between superhero Talon and his ubervillain nemesis Bandit. Abby manages to save Talon, but the superhero is temporarily blinded, so she takes him back to her loft, where the two wait out a snowstorm. During a blizzard that shuts down the city, Abby and Talon grow close, and he starts calling her Nightingale because of her love of music and singing.

    But Abby is afraid of what Talon will think when he can see the real her, so she conceals her identity from the sexy superhero, and they go their separate ways. However, Abby discovers that Talon is looking for Nightingale, looking for her — and so is Bandit. The mercenary ubervillain thinks that Abby has information that belongs to his boss, the mysterious Tycoon. Abby knows that she’s in serious trouble and that not even Talon — or the Fearless Five — may be able to save her …

    So this book is a little different than the others in the Bigtime series in that Abby and Talon are front and center, instead of the members of the Fearless Five, as in the previous books. In this story, the Fearless Five are more minor characters, although they, along with Lulu Lo, do appear.

    For those of you who remember, Abby was an event planner who helped Bella Bulluci with the museum benefit in Jinx. I thought writing about Abby and a new hero would let me expand the Bigtime world a little bit and bring in some new characters and places in the city for folks to read about.

    Nightingale is available for $3.99 at the following sites:

    Amazon

    Barnes & Noble

    iTunes (you will have to open iTunes on your computer)

    Kobo

    All Romance Ebooks

    Sony

    Smashwords

    I figure posting the e-book on these sites would let me hit most of the e-readers and e-book formats out there.

    Nightingale is around 94,000 words. You can read the first chapter here.

    I don’t have any plans to do a print version of Nightingale at this point. I just don’t have the time in my writing schedule to do that right now. However, if there is enough interest in the book, I may write some more e-books or e-stories in the Bigtime series. Again, we’ll see what happens.

    Anyway, I hope folks enjoy this return trip to Bigtime. Happy reading!

    Mythos Academy e-bundle available …

    Mythos Academy e-bundleI’ve been meaning to mention this for a while now, but my publisher has released an e-bundle for my Mythos Academy young adult urban fantasy series.

    What’s an e-bundle? Basically, it’s just when a publisher decides to package several books in a series together for one price. In this case, the Mythos Academy e-bundle includes the First Frost prequel e-story, along with the first three books in the series, Touch of Frost, Kiss of Frost, and Dark Frost.

    The e-bundle retails for $22.99, but it looks like Amazon and Barnes & Noble have been offering some pretty good discounts on that price. So you may want to check around and see who has the best price if you’re interested in the e-bundle.

    The e-bundle is available at Amazon, Barnes & Noble, and other online e-booksellers. It is a worldwide release and is available on all the common e-book formats (Kindle, Nook, etc.)

    Anyway, hope everyone enjoys the e-bundle. Happy reading!

    Reading e-books on your computer …

    I’ve gotten several e-mails recently asking if there will ever be any print versions of any of my e-books or stories.

    The answer? Not at this time. Right now, there are no plans to produce print versions of any of my e-books or e-stories. This includes Thread of Death, First Frost, and the Bigtime e-books (although you can still find used copies of the mass market versions of those books on various bookseller websites).

    Another comment I’ve gotten a lot recently is that folks can’t read my e-books since they don’t have an e-reader. So today, I thought I would mention that you don’t have to have an e-reader to read e-books. I believe that Amazon and Barnes & Noble both offer free apps that you can download onto your computer so you can read Kindle and Nook books on your computer. I believe there are also apps that you can download so you can read e-books on your phone too.

    So if you want to read e-books but don’t want to buy an e-reader, I would search and see what apps are available. You should be able to find some free ones that might help. Happy reading!
