    Cover art revealed for Winter’s Web — Elemental Assassin #17.5 novella — March 12 …

    I’m pleased to share the cover art for Winter’s Web, Elemental Assassin #17.5. Woot!

    Winter’s Web is $2.99 and will be released on March 12.

    WINTER’S WEB EBOOK:

    Amazon Kindle B&N Nook Apple Books Google Play Kobo Smashwords

    The cover art was once again done by the awesome Tony Mauro, the artist for the books in the series.

    Winter’s Web is a 27,000-word novella that takes place after the events of Venom in the Veins, book 17 in the Elemental Assassin urban fantasy series. Winter’s Web first appeared in the Seasons of Sorcery anthology in 2018.

    WINTER’S WEB NOVELLA DESCRIPTION:

    An assassin at a renaissance faire. What could possibly go wrong? Everything, if you’re the Spider . . .

    I might be Gin Blanco, aka the assassin the Spider, but even I need a break from the bad guys every now and then. So when Owen Grayson, my significant other, suggests a trip to the Winter’s Web Renaissance Faire, it sounds like a perfect distraction from all my problems.

    The faire starts off innocently enough, but something seems slightly off about the cheery atmosphere and costumed characters. Maybe I’m being paranoid, but I can’t help but feel like I’m trapped in someone else’s icy web—and that they don’t want me to leave the faire alive . . .

    Note: Winter’s Web is a 27,000-word novella that takes place after the events of Venom in the Veins, book 17 in the Elemental Assassin urban fantasy series. Winter’s Web first appeared in the Seasons of Sorcery anthology in 2018.

    MORE ABOUT WINTER’S WEB

    Note #1: There will NOT be a print or audiobook version of the novella.

    Note #2: The Seasons of Sorcery fantasy anthology also features novellas by Amanda Bouchet, Grace Draven, and Jeffe Kennedy.

    I hope everyone enjoys the look at the cover art. Thanks!

    2 Comments

    Greetings! I hope everyone had a good holiday season. Here is my book release schedule for 2019. Please note that some of these dates could change, due to various publishing whims.

    JENNIFER’S TENTATIVE 2019 BOOK RELEASE SCHEDULE

    Spartan Promise — Jan. 15 — Mythos Academy spinoff #2

    Winter’s Web — March 12 — Elemental Assassin #17.5

    Protect the Prince — July 2 — Crown of Shards #2

    I’m also hoping to release Spartan Destiny, Mythos Academy spinoff #3, in late fall 2019, along with Elemental Assassin book #18, but it just depends on my writing deadlines. Those books might get bumped to 2020. We’ll see what happens.

    In case you missed it, here is the cover art for Spartan Promise, Mythos Academy spinoff #2.

    GET THE  EBOOK:

    Amazon Kindle B&N Nook Apple Books Google Play Kobo Smashwords

    GET THE PRINT BOOK:

    Amazon print B&N print

    Note: Booksellers and librarians can order print copies of Spartan Promise through IngramSpark.

    ABOUT THE AUDIOBOOK:

    There will be an audiobook for Spartan Promise. Unfortunately, I have no idea when it — or the audiobook for Spartan Heart, book #1 — will be released. So if you want to read the book on release day, you will have to get the ebook or print book.

    SPARTAN PROMISE DESCRIPTION:

    Hunting for the bad guys has never been so dangerous . . .

    My name is Rory Forseti, and I attend the Colorado branch of Mythos Academy, a school of warrior kids, powerful artifacts, and mythological monsters.

    I’m a student, a fierce Spartan warrior, and a member of Team Midgard, a group of kids and adults tasked with stopping the evil Reapers of Chaos. There is one Reaper I’m determined to hunt down above all others: Covington, the man who murdered my parents.

    So when the Midgard gets a tip that Covington is going to try to steal a dangerous artifact, I’m ready to fight. But the situation is far more complicated than it seems, and the Reapers aren’t my only enemies.

    I’ll have to use all my Spartan strength and skills to survive this. And even then, it might be my blood that gets spilled . . .

    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. 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.

    SPARTAN HEART DESCRIPTION:

    New school year, same old problems . . .

    At Mythos Academy, everyone knows exactly who I am: Rory Forseti, Spartan girl and the daughter of Reapers.

    Even though I fought alongside my cousin Gwen Frost to save the mythological world from Loki and his evil Reapers of Chaos, I’m still the most hated girl at the academy because of all the horrible things my parents did. I had hoped that this school year would be different, but the other kids just won’t let me forget about my parents.

    But something strange is going on at the Colorado academy. First, I run into a Viking guy who dislikes me more than most. Then I notice some odd artifacts in the Library of Antiquities. And worst of all, I start hearing rumors about a new group of Reapers who can summon mythological monsters.

    I might be the most hated girl at Mythos Academy, but I’m also the only one who can save it . . .

    I hope that everyone enjoys getting caught up on Rory’s story. Happy reading!
