Book Launch Day: Committed, Episode 6 is now available!

 

When Ella Mikowski decided to plan her dream wedding, she had no idea what she was getting herself into. As if juggling her career and the millions of wedding planning details isn’t enough, it seems that anything that can go wrong does go wrong. Will Ella manage to make it down the aisle with her sanity intact?

Episode 6:Two days before the wedding, Masato gets into a fight with his Best Man, and Ella has an argument with her brother, the Man of Honor.

Committed, Episode 6 is now available on Amazon, Barnes & Noble, and Kobo!

Today marks my tenth release day, and I'm pretty excited about that. I've now been publishing for a year, and I'm very optimistic about what the future holds. This is a great time to be a writer, and I want to thank all of you who have read, reviewed, and/or contacted me to tell me how much you enjoyed one of my books. There aren't words to describe how exciting it is to hear from a reader. Whether it's a Tweet, a post on my FB page, or an e-mail, your kind words make my day every time.

I've been hard at work on Asleep, my next book under my Elizabeth Darcy pen name. It's inspired by the Sleeping Beauty tale, but with a twist.

This book has been rather challenging for me. I started it during NaNoWriMo 2012, and writing has gone well, but the timeline got away from me a bit. I've been wrestling with it for the last few days and had a breakthrough yesterday. If you're a fan of The Eye of the Beholder, I think you may enjoy this love story even more. Is it wrong of me to admit I have a mad crush on Prince Devaran, even if he is my own creation? ;)

I have a few other big things coming up. On Monday, May 13th, I'll be doing a cover reveal for Asleep, and I can hardly wait to share it as I think it's gorgeous! 

For the second year, I'll be participating in author Elle Casey's absolutely ginormous giveaway. Seriously, it's huge. I don't have all the details yet, but LOTS of books will be up for grabs from a broad spectrum of YA/NA authors, including yours truly. Stay tuned for more details about that one because you definitely don't want to miss it.

I have another exciting piece of news that I'll be sharing in the upcoming weeks, along with some more info about my post-Asleep release schedule plans and another cover reveal (hint: There just may be an NA romance coming your way!).

Lastly, once Asleep is ready to go, I'll be doing a LibraryThing giveaway for it, and I'm planning on doing some more Free Book Fridays, probably once a month. What are Free Book Fridays? Well, that's when the Free Book fairy waves her wand and gives free copies of my books to readers. I hear she's especially fond of finding people who have my books shelved on Goodreads, and she also like to drop in on my mailing list and my FB page.  And the best part? You don't even have to leave anything under your pillow for her!

Book Launch Day: Committed, Episode 5 is now available!

When Ella Mikowski decided to plan her dream wedding, she had no idea what she was getting herself into. As if juggling her career and the millions of wedding planning details isn’t enough, it seems that anything that can go wrong does go wrong. Will Ella manage to make it down the aisle with her sanity intact?

Episode 5: Masato makes a deal with Ella: one date, no talking about the wedding. But some bad sushi turns their relaxing evening into an unmitigated disaster.

Committed, Episode 5 is now available on Amazon, Barnes & Noble, and Kobo.

Psst: My book, The Eye of the Beholder, is currently on sale for 99c on Amazon, Barnes & Noble, and Kobo! It'll be back to regular price soon, so get your copy now!

If you're a fan of my Elizabeth Darcy novel, stay tuned. I'm hard at work on Asleep, which was inspired by Sleeping Beauty, and I plan on having it out by June!

Book Launch Day: Committed, Episode 3 is now available!

It's book launch day--in more ways than one! First, the new episode of Committed, my serial, is now available. Second, my exclusivity with Amazon has lapsed on all my books, and they are now all available in Kindle, Nook, and Kobo formats!

 When Ella Mikowski decided to plan her dream wedding, she had no idea what she was getting herself into. As if juggling her career and the millions of wedding planning details isn’t enough, it seems that anything that can go wrong does go wrong. Will Ella manage to make it down the aisle with her sanity intact?

Episode 3: When storm damage leaves a supplier incapable of delivering the flowers Ella had ordered, she’s left with only five days to figure out what to substitute for the arrangements.

Committed is available in the Kindle, Nook, and Kobo stores. 

 I'm also pleased to announce that Phoning It In is now available in Kindle, Nook, and Kobo formats, and The Eye of the Beholder is also available for Kindle, Nook, and Kobo. 

Going forward, I will no longer be exclusive to Amazon. I have five more episodes of Committed to release, and then I'll be releasing a new book under my Elizabeth Darcy pen name, this time a retelling of the Sleeping Beauty tale--with a twist. Stay tuned for a cover reveal.

And, lastly, I have a new cover for Contributor! I'll be revealing it next week.

Psst: If you haven't signed up for my mailing list yet, you may want to. I'm planning a spring giveaway for mailing list members, and members get exclusives like free books and announcements of new releases. Sign up below!

When Ella Mikowski decided to plan her dream wedding, she had no idea what she was getting herself into.

Episode 2: Six days before the wedding, Ella learns just how contentious the seating arrangements can be when her mother and Masato clash over the seating chart.

Have you signed up for my mailing list yet? I love my subscribers and have all kinds of plans in store for you.

Personally, I hate spam, so I promise never to inflict it on you.

Announcement: Expanded distribution and my leg woes

As some of you may have noticed, I haven't been doing much blogging lately. This is due to my having torn a leg muscle in a very stupid way while exercising. Today will be my first session of physical therapy to help me recover from the injury, and I'll need physical therapy twice a week for four weeks.

The good news is that, while the injury will take a while to heal, I should eventually get back to normal, and it's not stopping me from working. The bad news is sitting in my desk chair results in a lot of pain when I have to get up and move around. Because of this, I've been limiting my desk time to concentrating on my writing, so I've been neglecting everything but that.

However, because I've been intensely focused on my books, I've been working hard to start extending my distribution now that my exclusivity clause is expiring, and I'm very happy to announce that Contributor is now available on Kobo and Barnes & Noble, in addition to Amazon. My exclusivity clauses on every book expire at various times throughout the month, so Phoning It In and The Eye of the Beholder will also be available at multiple vendors by the end of this month; I'll keep you posted as the books go live at the other stores.

Along with expanding the distribution for Contributor, I've also got a new cover design in the works. I absolutely love the original cover, but I think it may not make it clear that the book is a young adult book, so I'm going to try different cover art to see if that helps better convey its genre.

One last tip: last week I kicked off something fun that I'm calling Free Book Fridays. It means exactly what it sounds like it means: I give some of my readers free books. Tomorrow will be another Free Book Friday, so keep your eyes peeled. How do I decide who to give books to, you may wonder? Well, rumor has it that being on my mailing list could have something to do with it. Sign up here if you haven't yet joined--I've also got some member-exclusive promotions coming up down the line. I've also been known to drop in on Goodreads and take a look at those who have my books shelved. (And a note about Goodreads: as I expand my books into other markets, I'm also updating Goodreads to reflect this, so that the following editions are listed: Kindle, Nook, and Kobo.)
