Release Day! WOLF'S BANE (Demimonde #3)

Happy Release Day, Wolf's Bane!
 

Let the countdown to full moon begin...
 

Join us for a month-long blog tour and don't forget to enter the giveaways.
Lots of excerpts, guest posts, and reviews!
Howl with me...

Haven't joined the Demimonde yet?
Now's your chance to pick up the first in the series--BLEEDING HEARTS--at a great price!
Amazon   Barnes & Noble

 

Don't miss this post about Demimonde Companion stories on Wattpad...
Team Marek will want to head right over!



 

Full moon approaches...and, with it, WOLF'S BANE

A full moon... on Friday the 13th? Such propitious alignment can only mean one thing... some terrifying cosmic event is readying to manifest itself.

Or, it could be that WOLF'S BANE--the third book in the Demimonde series--will celebrate its official release on Sunday.

To spread the word about the conclusion to this urban fantasy trilogy, we'll be embarking on a month-long tour until July 15.

Just as Sophie is compelled to count each day until the full moon in this latest Book of the Demimonde...so shall we.

Question is: when July's full moon arrives,

which of us will Turn?

Join us Sunday as we kick off the release of WOLF'S BANE (Demimonde #3). Don't forget to watch Facebook and Twitter for flash giveaways, too. (I'm heavily influenced by the push and pull of the moon, so who knows what lunacy that might occur.)

 

So, sit back, breathe deeply, and once we're safely through Friday's full moon, we'll journey onto the next one together. Just remember...

 

The sky turns, the wheel turns, and eventually, we turn with it.

 

 

 

 

Dark World Books: Boutique Services for Authors

Today, I wanted to give the Demimonde Bump to Dark World Books. This growing company is actively seeking author clients and provide an array of literary/promotional services. If you are an author of dark or sexy (or dark AND sexy) stories, read on! You may find your books best friends below...

Having problems with your author business? Our job is to guide you through this sometimes overwhelming process and take care of manuscript edits, covers & marketing material creation, trailers and book tours. Also, you can now hire us to be your virtual personal assistants! Is your life taking too much time away from your author duties?

Management of your social media accounts, marketing consultation, review/ARCs distribution are only some of the tasks we take care of by being your PAs.

Don’t wait any longer, get in touch! We hope to have the pleasure of working with you very soon!

Franny & Silvia

Dark World Books

Facebook – Twitter – Google+ - LinkedIn – Pinterest – Youtube

I first met Franny when I was promoting my first novel. She confided that she and Sil were going to be starting up boutique services for authors and I remember how excited I was for them--I got to be their first tour when I released the cover for Blood Rush (Demimonde #2) . Loved their work!

They've also handled the editing and cover art for Deliverance, a fantasy short (all proceeds benefit a young man's medical fund... please consider supporting this project!) I've done other tours, as well. Franny is very detail-oriented when it comes to tours--no missed stops, no dropped posts (I can attest to that--I'm an occasional host for DWB-- when one of my posts went live before I added an element *shame* but she caught it and righted it, much to the other author's relief).

Recently they've added author management services to their repertoire . If you have an upcoming project or just need author support, I do recommend their services and encourage you to stop by Dark World Books and have a look around!

Guest Post: Greek Mythology Behind PANDORA by Joanna Parypinski

I am a mythology junkie.

Always have been. Since junior high, I've been fascinated by the mythology of the ancient world...Roman, Nordic, Persian, Egyptian...and Greek. Definitely Greek. They had the coolest legends. When the rest of my friends were reading Judy Blume, I had my nose stuck in an encyclopedia.

(It may be hereditary, too, as my eleven-year-old son has a real thing for Greek mythology. Or...maybe it's Rick Riordan's fault. *shrug* He's even trying to learn how to read Greek. Good luck, kiddo.)

I'm not the only one fascinated by the realms of the gods and their cursed minions. One of my author friends, Joanna Parypinski, is just as much of a Greek geek as I am. She's proud to announce the release of her novel PANDORA.

Yep...that Pandora.

Joanna is gracious enough to stop by and share a guest post on the wonderful world of gorgons and gods...specifically, on the myth of Pandora and her infamous box. Read on...

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Long ago, in an ancient and magical world of gods and demons, Zeus ordered Hephaestus to create the first woman. The gods gifted her with clothes, beauty, and speech, and they called her Pandora. She was given a beautiful container and told not to open it, but naturally, her curiosity overwhelmed her. When she opened the box, all the evil trapped within it escaped and spread across the Earth.

The legend of Pandora is an iconic one used time and again in books, movies, television, and music—mainly as a cautionary tale. The idea of opening Pandora’s Box is now synonymous with creating some sort of evil that cannot be stopped. But what if there was an actual box, passed down through the ages, that contained all the evils of mankind? That’s the idea behind PANDORA.

Since the book centers around this legend, I decided to delve deeper into the bowels of Greek mythology to create the eerie, supernatural world hovering beneath the surface of the town.

I researched the genealogy of daemons, which are personifications of otherwise lifeless entities like night, sleep, madness, and even death. Nyx, born of Chaos, is the mother of all manner of dark creatures. You might find some of them lurking in the corners of the pages as you read PANDORA. In fact, all the elements of Greek mythology you’ll find in the book are rather sinister.

For instance, somewhere in the Greek underworld are two gates: one made of ivory, and the other of horn. The Gate of Horn produces true dreams, while the Gate of Ivory generates false ones. My interpretation of “false dreams” includes nightmares, which play a significant role in the book—especially with the character of Ben, who has been plagued by nightmares throughout his life. The Ivory Gate becomes important as we trace the ancient history of the box back to its distant origin.

The final bit of Greek mythology in PANDORA involves the creature that appears again and again: the fanged, blank-eyed woman graces the cover of the book, but you’ll have to read it to find out just who, or what, she is…

If you want to read it, why not get yourself a free e-book copy right now? First person to correctly answer this trivia question can get either a PDF or ePub version:

After Pandora opened the box in the Greek myth, what one thing was left inside?

Comment below with your answer, e-mail, and preferred e-book format. First person with the correct answer wins! And don’t forget to check out the big contest where you can win the Pandora prize pack over at axelhowerton.com.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~


Stop by Joanna's page at http://joannaparypinski.com/  to read more about her latest book, PANDORA, and be sure to enter her contests. Good luck!

PANDORA by Joanna Parypinski

There’s something in the basement of Maria’s new house—something dark and primeval that made the previous owner commit suicide. It has infected the town of Sickle Falls, giving its inhabitants nightmares of a dark, fanged spirit that thirsts for blood. When Maria finds a mysterious ivory box buried in the bowels of her house, she must unearth its secrets before whatever is inside escapes and destroys them all.

Hey, Rafflecopter...Pick me a winner!

So, my kids are driving me batty today...becasuse they keep me DRIVING.

To school. From school. To band. To volleyball. To Scouts. To play practice. To home again.

And it's not always that simple because from time to time, they like to mix it up. The combinations are endless--to play practice, from play practice to the pizza shop for a slice, to band, then home.

Today, it's to the bus stop, back home because bus went early (FML), to school, then back home--and, when I turned into our lane, I got a text saying "I frgt gym clothes bring them pleeeeeeeeeeez" so it'll be back up to town.

Driving. Me. Batty.

So, between Mom-Bus runs, I popped into the blog and saw...the Bleeding Hearts Blog Tour Really Really Big Prize drawing has stopped accepting entries.

Know what that means?

It means...stay posted to find out who my big winner is! Someone is going to be very happy soon. Will it be you? Fingers, toes, eyes crossed!

I just have one request...please don't ask me to deliver it. :) I'm tired of driving.

Bleeding Hearts Blog Tour Stops At Sapphyria's Book Reviews!

We're wrapping up another week of the Bleeding Hearts Blog Tour...

So many great stops on this leg! If you're just joing the tour you can look at this past week's schedule and the entire tour so far.

This week, I was interviewed via phone for the first time by my hometown newspaper. If you've never been interviewed over the phone before, I can now offer advice: if the reporter stops typing, you're talking too much. :D

It was a fun and terrifying experience and I can only hope on Easter Sunday when the piece is printed I find a golden egg and not a rotten one.
Today I'll be at Sapphyria's Book Reviews! She'll be reviewing Bleeding Hearts  as well as letting me share a guest post.

Be sure to check out thes other fantastic writers and bloggers who are so generous in their support of my first novel launch. Don't forget to enter the mini-contests on each day's blog stop and, of course,THE END-OF-TOUR GIVEAWAY!

Reminder: I joined Kindlegraph so that I can scribble my name on even MORE books. Hit me up anytime!

Bleeding Hearts Blog Tour: Query Tracker Blog and Robin Badillo!

We're starting this week off right with a Two-Fer.

Shouldn't we start more things off with a Two Fer? Like, Starbucks would taste so much better if they handed you two cups instead of one. And what about BOGO sales? I say buy one, get TWO free. And payday? I wouldn't mind two paychecks. (Shoot, sometimes I feel like I wouldn't mind ONE. :) Always overworked and underappreciated.)

This Zen of Two-Fer has been proven long ago when they started selling awesome shoes in PAIRS. The rest is history. Let's learn from it, people.

Today's blog tour is a Super Two-Fer:

First, an interview with Carolyn Kaufman on the Query Tracker blog...

 ...then I'll share an excerpt with Robin Badillo on her smexy blog!

Carolyn is my good friend from Query Tracker. She indulges my need to ramble and allows me to vandalize the Query Tracker blog a few times a month. I love being part of the QT team because I'm really excited about helping other newbie writers find their way. After all, it was the folks at QT who helped me get to where I am today...and I believe in paying it forward. Without QueryTracker, I may never have found the means--or the courage--to get my book out on submission.

I met Robin when I won her book in a TBR contest earlier this year. Later, I saw she was one of my Triberr mates...and contacted her about a guest spot on my tour. She was absolutely wonderful! (And I LOVE her cheesey sense of humor.) My relationship with Robin is a great example of how new writers can network with others...and how they can develop new friendships, too.

Thanks to both these great ladies for being today's hosts on my tour. Please stop by the blogs and show a little comment luv!

Don't forget...enter the Bleeding Hearts Blog Tour Giveaway. Wanna get lucky? You gotta get your karma in...
