The Sundering's Blog Tour!!!!

Just a couple of short weeks ago, I released The Sundering out into the world!!!! Now she's about to take a little trip around the blogosphere. You should join her, too, because it helps you get more chances to win some pretty awesome prizes!

Prizes are:

A medieval prize pack:

• A hand-stitched pillow made from a tapestry fragment. I actually watched the owner of RavenStone Castle put it together!
• A handmade pouch from Idiorhythmic Designs. The owner, Raechel, lives in my town so I was able to select the perfect bag (and if you read The Sundering, you know why this bag is important).
• A set of postcards and a bookmark from Mystic Moon Media.

A copy of the entire Song of Eloh Saga in your choice of ebook format (contains: The Initiate, Anathema, Oubliette, Severed, Sleepers, Afterlife, The Sundering)

A $25 gift card to Amazon

Introducing Isobel Lucas!!!

What's a girl to do when she has another epic storyline in her brain, but it's totally different than the series she already released?

Give birth to a new pen name, of course!!!!

I want everyone to meet Isobel Lucas, my evil twin sister. ;)

Isobel's books are modern paranormal. They feature 18-year-old high school seniors who are caught up in something no one expects. The end of the world is coming in December, right? Well, for these kids, it's not a myth, it's reality.

Would I recommend Isobel's books to my current readers? Only if you like horny teens, bad language, and a touch of religious satire as they're hurtled toward Armageddon.

If it sounds like something you'd like, then check out Isobel. You'll find her on Facebook and on her blog.

Want to help me spread the word and enter to win something in the meantime? Check out the Rafflecopter widget below.

Thanks, and I look forward to seeing you in Isobel's world!

Don't Buy My Books on iTunes

***UPDATE***

...just hours after I wrote this post, iTunes took down the offending Smashwords ebooks. lol. Coincidence? Maybe.... Anyway, if you were one of the customers who received a faulty ebook of Severed from iTunes, read on...

Soooo....something's totally screwy with Smashwords and iTunes. My books aren't even supposed to be on iTunes right now and I've struggled for weeks to get them down. Smashwords isn't responding to my queries, which doesn't help at all.

Somehow Severed got messed up on iTunes (which I can't figure out how it happened, but something's not right the with the interior files). People are asking for refunds in the review section, which I would happily authorize - if anyone in power would respond to my pleas for help.

So, for now, don't buy my books on iTunes. I'm trying to sever my iTunes distribution through Smashwords. Once that happens, I will be able to control everything on my own as a qualified distributor directly through iTunes.

No one ever said self-publishing wasn't filled with minefields. But hey, I'm working my butt off to get the problems fixed.

Anyone buy a copy of Severed on iTunes and receive the wrong product?

Drop me an email: meggjensen@gmail.com - I'll work with you to solve it.

Feed Your Reader Blog Hop!

If you're new to my blog, WELCOME! :D

If you're not, WELCOME BACK! :D

Thanks for stopping by my blog during I Am a Reader, Not a Writer's "Feed Your Reader" Blog Hop!

In case you're not familiar with me, I'm a young adult fantasy author. I have this wicked series - The Song of Eloh Saga. It's comprised of a novelette (The Initiate) and two trilogies (Cloud Prophet Trilogy - Anathema, Oubliette, Severed & The Swarm Trilogy - Sleepers, Afterlife, The Sundering).

The Sundering will be available everywhere as an ebook after Labor Day, so if you're new to my series, you could start with The Initiate and Anathema as your prizes, or if you're not new, you can ask for whichever two ebooks (single ebooks - trilogy bundles and saga bundle not eligible) you need to read next - including The Sundering!!!!

Let's say you've already read the first six ebooks - no problem, you can request The Sundering for you and a friend. I'm cool with that. Just enter below in the Rafflecopter form. Good luck!!!

Wait a sec...there's MORE! Let's say you're really interested in my series, Hell Bent/Heaven Sent, under my new pen name, Isobel Lucas. Yes, you can even ask for two of those books. The first one releases in October.

...and if you DON'T win, all of my novels are on sale for 99 cents through Labor Day. Check it out...

What's Coming Next?

I think everyone knows that my next release is The Sundering. It's not the only new ebook, though.






 





For people new to Sleepers, Afterlife, and The Sundering (The Swarm Trilogy), I'll have an ebook combo edition. Check out the cover (and send some love to my amazing cover artist Steven Novak).

For readers who've come to my books recently, there will be one ebook to rule them all. I mean, haha, one epic ebook that contains all seven of my ebooks: The Initiate, Anathema, Oubliette, Severed, Sleepers, Afterlife, The Sundering. As those of you who've read carefully know, all the books are connected! I've  named the entire set The Song of Eloh Saga. The trilogies still remain as they are. They can still be read independently, but I've said many times that reading all seven in order makes for a more satisfying experience. Once again, a new cover by my new best friend Steven Novak.


....and after these three hits the e-stores? Well, I have something really interesting on my mind. I'm not sure when it will be out, but I do have a cover made up already. I'll release it ... not sure when ... but it will be sooner, rather than later. ;)

My kids are going back to school in just a few weeks, which means my productivity will increase exponentially. It will be the first year both of them are in school all day, every day. I have big expectations for my writing output and I can't wait to share more of my stories with you!!!! :D

Name a Character & Win!!!

Yep, it's that time again! I'm almost done with The Sundering, but I have one character who still doesn't have a name. This is becoming a bad habit for me, but a good thing for you. Why?

Because it means prizes! ;)

The Character:

A young girl, around the age of 8. She's blonde and sweet, but doesn't speak. She's a bit of mystery.

Rules:

Comment below with your picks for the character's name. Only three (3) suggestions per person!

If you don't have a registered Blogger account, please leave a way for me to contact you!!!!

Remember - I write epic fantasy. A name like Jane isn't likely to make the cut. Jayne, however, might.

What You Win:

(1) My undying thanks in the form of a mention in the acknowledgements in The Sundering.
(2) Ten bookmarks of The Swarm Trilogy to do with as you please.
(3) An eARC of The Sundering...to be delivered sometime before September 25th. Most likely, much earlier.

I will choose the name I like best by August 3rd and notify the winner!

Thanks and GOOD LUCK!!!!

Want to be one of the first to know The Sundering has released? Then sign up for my newsletter here.

The contest will run now through August 3rd, midnight CST. Please leave a way for me to contact you!!!! Must be older than 15 to enter, must have parent's permission to accept prize if you are younger than 18.

Megg's Big Freebie Bash!!!!

I want to give you a bunch of free stuff to celebrate my new covers. Is that okay? ;)

<cue cheering>


First, I'm running a contest on Wattpad. You should totally go there and enter it. Like, right now. Just don't forget to come back here.

Okay. Did you go to Wattpad? DID YOU?!

Good.

So you know you can win one of five ebook cards there, which is awesome. You've also got my address if you want some signed bookmarks. Even more awesome.

What can you get here? Well, first I'm going to list a whole bunch of free ebooks from me and my friends. YAY! All of these links will go to Amazon. It's possible the books are free on other venues (Barnes & Noble, Smashwords, Kobo, etc), so if you don't have a Kindle, please check the other websites!!!!! I would list them all but then this blog post would be a million miles long.

Then I'm going to give away three (3) $10 Amazon.com gift cards. This part is only open to the US, I'm sorry to say. I can't give gift cards to someone in another country, which totally sucks. :(

You can enter to win the gift cards in the Rafflecopter do-dah below.
