    Dark Frost on NetGalley …

    6 Comments

    I wanted to let all the book reviewers, bloggers, etc. know that Dark Frost, the third book in my Mythos Academy young adult urban fantasy series, is available through NetGalley. You can see and request the book here.

    I believe this is the first time that a book of mine has been available through the site. Also, please note that I do not approve requests on NetGalley — that is something my publisher does.

    Here’s a little more information about the site, according to the NetGalley home page:

    NetGalley delivers secure, digital galleys to professional readers. If you are a reviewer, blogger, journalist, librarian, bookseller, educator, or in the media, you can use NetGalley for FREE to read and request titles before they are published.

    So if you fit into one of those categories, you might want to check out the site.

    Website updates …

    2 Comments

    Just a note to let everyone know that I (and my website guru) have updated the site with all the information and book covers that I have available right now.

    So if you haven’t seen the back cover copy or read the excerpts for Thread of Death, By a Thread, Dark Frost, or Widow’s Web, you may want to check out the Books at a Glance or Excerpts and More pages. Beware of spoilers, though, because some of the descriptions and excerpt do contain them.

    As the year goes along, I’ll start posting about my 2013 releases, which will include Crimson Frost, Mythos Academy #4, in January 2013. So stay tuned for more.

    Dark Frost bookmarks available …

    4 Comments

    I now have bookmarks available for Dark Frost, the third book in my Mythos Academy young adult urban fantasy series. Bookmarks for Touch of Frost and Kiss of Frost are also still available.

    As always, the bookmarks are free to readers, librarians, booksellers, reading groups, schools, and anyone else who wants them. However, I do ask that folks send me a SASE (self-addressed stamped envelope) with two U.S. stamps on it in order to get the bookmarks. This helps me cover postage costs. If you don’t put stamps on or include them with your SASE, I will not be able to send the bookmarks to you.

    Also, if you are overseas, I ask that you include $2 worth of U.S. stamps or that much in international postage coupons with your SASE. Again, this helps me cover postage costs.

    If you want more information about how to get the bookmarks, you can e-mail me.

    Dark Frost will be out on May 29. Here is the back cover copy. There are a few spoilers for Kiss of Frost in this, so if you haven’t read that book yet, you may want to skip reading the description:

    I’ve seen so many freaky things since I started attending Mythos Academy last fall.  I know I’m supposed to be a fearless warrior, but most of the time, I feel like I’m just waiting for the next Bad, Bad Thing to happen. Like someone trying to kill me — again.

    Everyone at Mythos Academy knows me as Gwen Frost, the Gypsy girl who uses her psychometry magic to find lost objects — and who just may be dating Logan Quinn, the hottest guy in school.  But I’m also the girl the Reapers of Chaos want dead in the worst way.  The Reapers are the baddest of the bad, the people who murdered my mom.  So why do they have it in for me?  It turns out my mom hid a powerful artifact called the Helheim Dagger before she died. Now, the Reapers will do anything to get it back. They think I know where the dagger is hidden, but this is one thing I can’t use my magic to find. All I do know is that the Reapers are coming for me — and I’m in for the fight of my life.

    You can also read the first chapter of the book. Dark Frost is also up for pre-order at Amazon and Barnes & Noble.

    Release schedule for 2012 …

    8 Comments

    We are moving right along in 2012, so I thought I would share my release schedule for the year:

    Jan 31: Thread of Death, an Elemental Assassin e-novella. Gin goes to Mab’s funeral, and trouble ensues.

    Feb. 28: By a Thread, Elemental Assassin #6. Gin goes on vacation, and trouble ensues (again).

    May 29: Dark Frost, Mythos Academy #3. Gwen has to find a powerful artifact before the Reapers of Chaos do.

    Aug. 21: Widow’s Web, Elemental Assassin #7. This book will fill in some of Owen’s past and backstory.

    To be determined: Haints and Hobwebs: An Elemental Assassin short story in The Mammoth Book of Ghost Romance. I’m not sure when this book is being released yet, but the story focuses on Gin helping out a ghost, or haint.

    I’m also hoping to e-publish a fourth Bigtime book this year, but I don’t know if it will happen or not. My writing schedule is already full for this year (and next year too).

    Anyway, stay tuned to the blog for updates as they become available.
