NEW book release of ReAwakened by Ada Adams!

Wednesday, November 28, 2012





Check it out! Just in time for Christmas, my friend Ada Adams released the sequel to ReVamped. (I love the cover, don't you?) I can't wait to read this!!!

Synopsis:
Becoming a vampire guardian was Dawn Fairchild’s ticket out of the Scarlet House. Fresh off a successful mission, life in Angel Creek should have been great. But when her sort-of-maybe-boyfriend, Sebastian, disappears on a quest to help a beautiful vampire from his past, Dawn finds herself amidst a web of danger, lies, and deceit.

Joining forces with Razor, an enigmatic rebel lacking both a verbal and a physical filter, and her band of Misfits—Brooke, Sophie, Hunter, and Seth—Dawn is thrust into a race against the clock to solve the mystery surrounding brutal Born kidnappings and come to terms with the sudden discovery of her own unique powers. With time ticking away and Born vampires’ lives in jeopardy, it quickly becomes evident that someone—or something—desperately wants Dawn and is willing to shed any amount of blood to get her.

Dawn has only one chance to face her demons and overcome all obstacles standing in her way as she embarks on the biggest mission of her life—one that threatens a deadly outcome for all involved.



About, my writer friend Ada:


“Many people sing in the shower. I write scenes in my head and act them out.”

At the age of five, Ada read her first chapter book—Pippi Longstocking by Astrid Lindgren. Ever since that moment, she developed an intense passion for stories and characters found within the pages of literature.

In her career as an actress and a writer, Ada currently spends most of her days immersed in imaginary worlds. Much like the characters she enjoys playing and writing about, Ada is a martial artist with a Black Belt in Shotokan Karate. She is also a big proponent of lifelong learning, and has attained a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology (it aids in creating characters with unique quirks!) as well as a Master’s of Science in Education.

Ada strives to bring a fresh voice and perspective to fiction. She has been writing creatively for many years, and is an editor of a global fashion/literary magazine called VEUX. ReVamped is her debut novel.

She lives in Toronto, Canada, and enjoys adventurous nature hikes with her adorable puppies Cara and Oreo. 

(I love the part about her writing scenes in the shower, maybe because I do the same thing! But then I have to rush to my notepad to write it down, usually dripping, before I forget. LOL That part is annoying...)

As November wraps up, I must say Thank You!!!


Sorry I haven't been around much, but as you may know, I've been busy working on my NaNoWriMo project for November. Sadly, because of the holiday and other interruptions, I haven't reached my goal just yet. Never fear, though, I'm still cranking away at Max and Nadia's story as fast as I can! They've shared a great deal of their story with me, so I'm very eager to share it with you!!!


Anyhow...

As I work on this project, book reviews mean a great deal to me...to any writer, really. Your generous support is what motivates me to keep writing. I will say it's a difficult and scary thing for me to keep sharing what's going on  inside my head, so without your support, I'm not sure I could keep going. Because of this, I'm truly grateful to you.

To thank you, my valued readers, for this, please check out my exclusive Facebook Fan Page giveaway! These awesome prizes are ONLY available through the Facebook giveaway.

And...this giveaway is the only one I have open to my international readers! The ones posted here are for USA only, and only my eBooks are available via my blog.

The Order of Curse-Bound Knights, my NaNoWriMo project for November!

Thursday, November 1, 2012

This is the first time I have ever joined NaNoWriMo so I'm not sure how it's going to work. I also don't know if The Order of Curse-Bound Knights is going to be a novella or a full-length novel...we shall see. (To read an excerpt of this book, please scroll down a couple of posts.)

Because of this writing goal, I probably won't be posting much in the month of November.  Between writing and family holiday stuff, I just won't have time.

If you're interested in winning signed copies of my books or book-themed swag while I work on Max and Nadia's story, then visit my Facebook Fan Pages... ;)

Before I sign off to the past and my world of vampires, here are a couple of announcements. My husband is working on formatting the update of Fair Maiden and Sophia's Cookbook for Mortals for print! I'm trying to get the Cookbook spiral-bound so it lays flat nicely. I'm still trying to find the perfect printer for that option.

Enjoy this preview of the new look for Fair Maiden and the front and back of the Cookbook. Plus, I'll be contacting everyone I know as I search for my Max and Nadia cover models...
