Win ALL of My Novels in Paperback

2014 is shaping up to be a very exciting year!!!

Not only is HIDDEN getting great reviews, but I've also embarked on a project that's really exciting!

As you may know, ANATHEMA, OUBLIETTE, SEVERED, and SLEEPERS have all been available in paperback at one time or another. I designed the interiors myself and, well, they were just okay. Graphic design isn't my thing.

Win with Rafflecopter #1
Now that I'm making a bit more, I can afford to spend some decent money on crafting my paperbacks by using interior designer, Ali Cross from Novel Ninjutsu. The covers will be created by Steven Novak of Novak Illustration.

I plan on releasing all of my novels in paperback form in 2014 - and one of you will win a signed set. In fact, I'll send you a new paperback probably every month as they become available!

If you want a chance to win, enter below. The only required entry is joining my newsletter list. If you're already on the list, no problem - you can still use that as an entry. It's not just for new subscribers, it's for ALL subscribers. :)

This will include HIDDEN, SHUCKED, ANATHEMA, OUBLIETTE, SEVERED, SLEEPERS, AFTERLIFE, THE SUNDERING. Hopefully HUNTED (the in-progress sequel to Hidden). Possibly THE INITIATE (it's just a short story). Perhaps HELL BENT HEAVEN SENT (I haven't decided on that one yet). This prize package is valued at well over $100!!!!

If you want to buy signed paperbacks, I'll give more info on that after the contest is over. <3

Win with Rafflecopter #2
Unfortunately, due to the cost of shipping, I can't extend this giveaway to my international friends. It breaks my heart, but....I do have an alternative contest for the UK fans!

My amazing friend over the pond, Charlie Finn, has this company called 3 Little Owls. She makes these adorable little custom key charms and she's made 5 Hidden key charms! And those can be won by anyone in the UK.

How cute is this? Hidden's cover along with stars, a dagger, an owl, and a dragon?!

I know some of you US people might really want one of these key charms, so feel free to contact Charlie about this. Shipping from the UK to the US can be costly, just like it can from the US to UK. :)

Enter to win the paperbacks through the first Rafflecopter and enter to win one of the key charms through the second Rafflecopter.

Ever Feel Like You've Been Totally SHUCKED?

I've been working on SHUCKED  on and off for more than four years. I held off on finishing it because it didn't fit my author profile. It's always been my goal to be recognized as a fantasy author - and SHUCKED is the farthest thing from that.

But in January my hubby re-injured his back and our lives took a very difficult turn. Due to the medications he was on, he could no longer drive. Nor could he lift. And walking was a struggle. The pain was constant.

I tried to continue working on my fantasy novel, but my heart wasn't in it. Yet there was Tabitha, calling to me from the sidelines. I told her to go away. Her story wasn't part of my life right now. She wouldn't stop.

I gave in, throwing myself into Tabitha's world, one I'm very familiar with since I grew up on a farm. Walking with her through this story of self-discovery and learning to deal with circumstances beyond her control was very healing for me. In SHUCKED, Tabitha struggles through her environment just as I was doing with my hubby's injury. After major surgery, we're entering the brighter side of our experience. If you read SHUCKED, I think you'll find Tabitha does a great job of working her way through unexpected disaster too.

Suburgatory meets Indiana Jones...on a farm

 Fifteen-year-old Tabitha has had the kind of life that would impress even the greatest adventurers. She's escaped a croc attack in the Amazon, walked the length of the Great Wall of China, and earned a black belt in taekwondo in Korea. She owes her worldly experience to her mother's career in

archaeology, but when her mother takes on a dangerous new assignment, Tabitha is devastated to learn she can't tag along.

Instead, she's forced to live on a midwestern farm with her grandparents where she'll have to attend a full year of public school. It's Tabitha's greatest nightmare, because despite all her adventures, she has no practical experience with the one thing that frightens her the most - other teenagers.

Her math teacher is her mom's old high school boyfriend, she can't tell the friendly girls from the mean ones, and she develops a major crush on a boy she knows she can't trust. And just when she thinks she'll never get the hang of this normal teenager thing, an attack brings the danger of her previous life right up to her midwestern porch. Who could have ever guessed getting totally shucked would bring her face-to-face with her most exciting adventure yet?

Now for the fun stuff!
