Hot Paranormal Nights Blog Hop

 

Welcome to my stop on the

Hot Paranormal Nights Blog Hop!

I'm thrilled to join my good friend Tricia Schneider on a fun and sexy summer reading venture. Who better to accompany on a blog hop like this than the author of the Merriweather Witches series, herself?
 

 

In fact, it was Tricia and her books who inspired me to approach The Wild Rose Press with a story of my own. Lucky for me, senior editor Callie Lynn Wolfe loved the story as much as I did. "Strangers at the Hell Gate" is a Wild Rose Press July 2013 release.

 

About Stranger at the Hell Gate: When a charming Seraph knocks on half-demon Jagger’s door, he doesn’t expect her to be anything more than a vulnerable woman in need of shelter. Sonya, however, isn’t just another pretty angel. She’s an unexpected ally in his war against Hell, his brother…and himself.

Find it at The Wild Rose Press!

Stranger at the Hell Gate: Wild Rose Press Full Release

When a charming Seraph knocks on half-demon Jagger’s door, he doesn’t expect her to be anything more than a vulnerable woman in need of shelter. Sonya, however, isn’t just another pretty angel. She’s an unexpected ally in his war against Hell, his brother…and himself.

Today, my urban fantasy novella “Stranger at the Hell Gate” is celebrating its full release from The Wild Rose Press!

It was previously available only through the Kindle Select program, where it did very well…along with Bewitching Book Tours, we promoted the hell out of our free Kindle days and the story shot up the charts.

In May, Hell Gate reached #245 in the overall Free Kindle Store, #6 in Fantasy/Paranormal & Urban, and #1 in Genre/Demons & Devils. I’d say that’s pretty hawt stuff. J  

Now, Stranger at the Hell Gate is fully available on its proper release day. Let’s celebrate!

Stop by The Black Rose Blog where I stop by for a little chat with senior editor Callie Lynn Wolfe. You'll find an excerpt of the story. (You can also meet the ghosts who live in my yard.) Leave a comment to win a Wild Rose Press gift certificate so you can pick up your own copy of Hell Gate (as well as other great stories, such as The Merriweather Witches series by my good friend Tricia Schneider.)

Stranger at the Hell Gate       
by Ash Krafton

Genre: urban fantasy

Publisher: The Wild Rose Press

Date of Publication: July 2013

Word Count: 20000

Cover Artist: Debbie Taylor

Book Description: 

Jagger Sintallon, a half-demon warrior, has dedicated his existence to fighting demons who enter the world through Hell gates. A loner of conflicting ideals, he offers shelter to a troubled woman but knows he is too rough, too dangerous, and too cocky for her delicate nature.

Dedicated to Divine Will, Sonya Camael, a Seraph, is determined to discover why she is drawn to Jagger's doorstep and the reason behind her mission. She needs the demon's help but fears he may get himself killed before she can figure it out and the world slips into Hell's dominion.

Sonya faces grave danger with evil stalking her every move, and Jagger shouldn't care but realizes he cares more than he'd likely admit. Sonya knows Jagger cannot win this war alone, but will her divine intervention mean his imminent end? Or will just the right combination of Heaven and Hell set the world right once again?

Waking Up With A Stranger...

Or, to put it less salaciously, waking up to find my story STRANGER AT THE HELL GATE (The Wild Rose Press, 2013) available on Amazon. J

Last week, I finally got the news I'd been eagerly anticipating: STRANGER AT THE HELL GATE was set for release on July 10, 2013. After working with Callie Lynn Wolfe for several months, we finally had the date as well as the approved galley. It was a great achievement and I couldn't wait to share the announcement.

A heavy work schedule put me off several days from hitting the Internet, though. When I finally had a moment to do it, though, there was another email waiting for me.

STRANGER would go up on KDP Select first. And it would be up in a few days.

All my plans were tossed up into the air. So much for my leisurely announcement--now it was a completely crazy situation. What's an author to do? 

Practical as I occasionally am, I wrote my post for the Query Tracker blog (aptly focusing on the KDP and my emergent situation). Then, it was a matter of sit and wait. 

Well, the wait wasn't much of a wait after all. 

My STRANGER has arrived.

STRANGER AT THE HELL GATE

Jagger Sintallon, a half-demon warrior, has dedicated his existence to fighting demons who enter the world through Hell gates. A loner of conflicting ideals, he offers shelter to a troubled woman but knows he is too rough, too dangerous, and too cocky for her delicate nature.

Dedicated to Divine Will, Sonya Camael, a Seraph, is determined to discover why she is drawn to Jagger's doorstep and the reason behind her mission. She needs the demon's help but fears he may get himself killed before she can figure it out and the world slips into Hell's dominion.

Sonya knows Jagger cannot win this war alone, but will her divine intervention mean his imminent end? Or will just the right combination of Heaven and Hell set the world right once again?

This is my first release with The Wild Rose Press. I'm thrilled to be a part of their garden--and proud to be included in their Black Rose line. Thank you, Editor Callie and thank you to all the readers who take my STRANGER home with them.
