One Day Sale: Eternally Enchanted, The Heartbeat Thief Returns

 Usually, my Victorian fantasy The Heartbeat Thief only goes on sale twice a year.
However, it  got picked up for a huge one-day international promo.
So I decided...why not make it worldwide?

"A talented writer can convince a reader that fantasy is real; a gifted author makes it look easy from the opening scene. Such is Krafton's brilliance in The Heartbeat Thief."
USA TODAY Bestselling Author Rachel McClellan

"This is a book that addresses not only the fear of dying, but also the consequences of living. It is beautiful, thought-provoking, heart-ripping, and is so visceral it will stay within your own heartbeats for many years to come."
Michelle S. Willms ★★★★★

"Her writing is sophisticated and tight, just right for the odd but wonderful story she weaves...We have a new heroine of YA spec fic. Welcome to AJ Krafton. Fine writing, this."
Grady Harp, Amazon Top 100 Reviewer, Vine Voice ★★★★★

"...a nice twist to the tired old trope of the vampire... If you are looking for a captivating read that will draw you in and leave you breathless, look no further than The Heartbeat Thief."
Readers' Favorite ★★★★★

"A beautifully enchanting story that will steal your heart one beat at a time."
Cesya MaRae Cuono, author of Elemental Reality (Book One in the Elemental Series)
                
"Krafton not only tells you a story, she makes you experience it with your senses. You can feel the fog moistening your skin as Senza wanders around London. You can smell the city's decay. You can hear the clatter of horses against the cobblestones. And your own heart will anguish along with Senza as she despairs about life--and death--in an era when a woman's beauty guaranteed her a well-matched marriage, even more than her wealth...."

Ronesa Aveela, author of the Mystical Emona series

One of the great horrors of my life:

Children's birthday parties.

I know, it sounds mean, but I'm a veteran mom. I've survived a fair share of kids parties. At-home parties with a billion tiny humans running around chasing the terrified dog. The dreaded McDonald's Playland party with the questionable ball pit. The indoor jungle gym thingie. We even rented a blow-up bounce house one year (and the moms hung out at the cotton candy machine and got blasted on sugar floss. Good times.)

And I survived them all.

But my kids are in high school now. I shouldn't have to live in fear of these things--I'm dealing with drivers permits and impending Social Security insurance options. I should be free and clear. I should be safely in the realm of The End Of The Horror Movie where all the living heave a sigh of relief and run free in the sunlight.

But nah.

My nephews are having a roller skating party. And I am a good aunt. Even though I'm definitely going to end up with a case of PTSD because this place is going to trigger memories of my own 11th birthday party when I thought terry cloth outfits and bandanas were cool and they played J Geils Band and Journey and oh my god makeitstop--

Thank heavens I brought my computer.

Anyway, thanks to everyone who participated in the #October Frights blog hop. In case you missed a post, you can go back and still enter:


I'll be picking winners and posting the list on Monday so be sure to stop back. In the meantime, hop a few of the other sites while you can.

Oh, yeah. Blind Alleys is still free today so if speculative fiction is your thing, help yourself. :) I've got to go scrape my husband off the carpet-covered wall on the skate floor. He's too old for this nonsense and when he can't get out of bed tomorrow there will be NO SYMPATHY.

Got your free book? Get back to the hop...pick your next lucky stop:
