I'm back!

Hello all - you may have noticed, or rather not noticed, my absence for the past two months or so. Either I have been pushed away from my writing by personal issues, or, like Alice, I had to plunge into the depths of Hell to rescue my beloved. Pick which explanation you want, but either way: I'm back!

Wandering Stars up in ratings!

Hello all -

Hopefully, everyone received word on the free weekend that ran on Amazon January 21st and 22nd. A notice was scheduled to go live during the thing itself, but there seems to have been an error.

For those who didn't utilize the free download, or for those who did but would like to show their enjoyment by making a purchase, you can still buy Wandering Stars for $3.99 (down from $5.99) as an ebook or $11.99 in trade paperback. Helena's Empire, the short prequel, is also available for 99 cents. (Amazon Prime members may still borrow Wandering Stars for free.)

During the free weekend, Wandering Stars peaked at third place in Kindle Free's Children/Teen Fiction's Love & Romance category! Thanks to all my new readers for making this possible and I hope you all are having as much fun reading the story as I had crafting it!

With the free weekend & The Wandering Experience blog tour now over, Wandering Stars is steadily climbing the Amazon ratings - either people are enjoying the story or that pact I made with Lucifer is starting to pay off!

The Wandering Experience: Week One Wrap Up!

We're halfway through the Wandering Experience! It's been a lot of fun so far.

At The Bookshelves, I wrote a guest post: A Romance Writer's Thoughts on Breaking Dawn Part One.

Persephone's Winged Reviews provided a review of Wandering Stars. While she may not be a fan of Alice, she certainly appreciated the symbolism of Hell and Lucifer's inner turmoil.

Book Breather hosts both a giveaway (ends January 18th, hurry up and enter!) as well as a guest post on five things I'd like to do before I die.

Imaginary Reads provides both a giveaway (ends January 31st) as well as an interview revealing aspects of my writing past and which character from Wandering Stars I most identify with.

In Between Writing and Reading gave a lovely review and also hosts an eBook giveaway.

Don't miss my tour stop at Letters Inside Out where I talk about Love and Destiny in Wandering Stars. Try and find some Silvernight spoilers there!

While humorous, an interview and guest post at Books & Beyond is one of the most revealing (and interesting!) I've ever done.

Here's the schedule for the remaining tour stops:
Jan. 16: Review @ Books Like Breathing 
Jan. 17: Giveaway & Character Interview @ BookSpark
Jan. 18: Review @ Rachel's Book Reviews
Jan. 19: Giveaway & Character Interview @ I'm A Book Shark
Jan. 20: Giveaway @ Books, Biscuits, and Tea
Jan. 21: Guest Post & Giveaway @ Mad Moose Mama


Remember, you can now purchase Wandering Stars as an eBook from the Kindle store for just $3.99, or read it for free if you're an Amazon Prime member. For those of you who want more devilish romance and just can't wait for the next book, the short story-length prequel Helena's Empire can be purchased for 99 cents.
