This, That, & a Giveaway
This:
I turned in the revisions for HOUSE IMMORTAL a week ago! Yay! Even though it was a pretty massive revision (I axed over 43,000 words, removed two characters, inserted a new character, shifted the side plots and re-wrote scenes from scratch…while also keeping all the cool stuff from the first version) I think the revision packed the book with even more fun, action, and daring-do!
Right now I am so very pleased with how this book turned out. Which is pretty normal for me at this stage of a book’s life. By the time it hits the shelves in September, I’ll be neurotically worried that it sucks, but right now, I know it’s a strong, good book with strong, good characters in a new, exciting world.
Oh, and HOUSE IMMORTAL is now available for pre-order.
Next up in my writing queue is to get cracking on book #2 in the House Immortal series. That’s due in a little over a month, which means I’ll be writing like a crazy writing-thing to hit the deadline.
That:
A couple questions from readers:
1. When is HELL BENT, book #1 in the Broken Magic (Shame and Terric) spin off from the Allie Beckstrom books going to be available in ebook in the UK?
Right now! Here’s an Amazon link.
2. When is STONE COLD, book #2 in the Broken Magic (Shame and Terric) spin off from the Allie Beckstrom books coming out?
April 1, 2014. Yes! So soon!
3. Are you going to give away any advance reader copies of Stone Cold?
Funny you should ask……
Giveaway:
(Book Bloggers—I have three (3) ARCs I would like to offer up for your reading/possible reviewing. Please contact me via the email button on my blog, and the first three book bloggers/reviewers who contact me will receive an ARC. I understand that winning an ARC does not obligate the blogger/reviewer to blog or review the book. )
Readers!!
I have five (5)! Advanced reading copies of STONE COLD to giveaway! These have the non-pretty cover and are pre-proofs, which means they probably include a few bonus typos for your reading amusement.
To win one, all you have to do is leave a comment here on my blog and I will choose winners Saturday, February 22, before midnight PST.
I will mail internationally.
If winners do not contact me by Friday, February 28th, I will offer up the remaining ARCs in an exciting first-comments-first-wins speed giveaway on Saturday, March 1st.
Good luck, lovely people!

My husband turned me on to the Allie Beckstrom novels. Now we fight over who gets to read the new books first. I finally won with Hell Bent. I’d like to win Stone Cold, read it first and then give it to him for his birthday.

I LOVED Hell Bent. Like, the book arrived at my house and I did a goofy dance through the dining room, my family thought I was nuts. I can’t wait to see what Shame and Terric are up to next. Shame is one of those characters you love but want to slap!

*gasp* I WANT!!! 🙂 Shame is a brilliant character and I love the interaction between him and Terric. Especially the tension they have at times.

ENTER ME TOO PLEASE! x
In my dopey state this morning, I entered the competition using the book blogger one. Doh! Although… I’m seriously thinking of doing that too!
In my defence I’ve only had 5 hours sleep!

Well, as you know I’m in love with Shame. He can even pull me away from my knitting while watching the Olympics.
Mitchell Parker
House Immortal is on pre-order but I would love to have an ARC of Stone Cold.
Mitchell Parker
On second thought don’t pick me. Pick my friend Davida Dean. She is a wife, mother, executive assistant, knitter AND aspiring writer who LOVES your books and could use a little something nice to brighten her day. I’m attaching her email address instead of mine.
Carlye Dupart
I have enjoyed your books — read them all and really looking forward to your next in the series of “Broken Magic”.

Well since I obviously missed the call for bloggers, I’ll shoot for the readers one! After all I was a reader before I was a blogger! Cannot wait to dive into this one!

Can’t wait to see how Shame’s spin-off story unfolds – an advance ARC would definitely ease the impatience!
