New Mortal Heart Cover!

Tuesday, July 10

And at last, the final redesigned cover is revealed! I present you with Mortal Heart’s newest cover!

MORTAL_HEART_CVR_F

I love this new cover SO MUCH. It captures the ferocity of the book and evokes so many elements of the followers of Arduinna as well as Mortain. The extra material in the new paperback edition includes some fun Q and A that I had a lot of fun answering.

Here’s a link if you’d like to add it on GOODREADS.

As well as preorder links for those who want them.

Also! I had forgotten I had a couple of Pinterest boards I made while writing Mortal Heart that I never got around to making public. There’s one for Mortal Heart and one for Hellequin!

Also, also! I neglected to put up a GOODREADS button for COURTING DARKNESS. (Picture my publicist giving me a HARD side-eye!) If you’d like to add it now, feel free. 🙂 Maybe if we get enough adds, I can share something fun.

D’oh! And COURTING DARKNESS pre-order buttons! (Can you picture said publicist banging her head on the wall? Because yeah, I’m SO BAD at this.)  But save receipts because there WILL be a pre-order campaign–with cool stuff!

I meant to reveal it last week, but we were slammed with record breaking heat–107 degrees with no air conditions and a power outage. So yeah. Best laid plans evaporated.

New Dark Triumph Cover!

Wednesday, June 27

I’m so excited to share with you yet ANOTHER aMaZiNG cover created by the uber talented billellis! To be honest, the original Dark Triumph cover went through many trials and tribulations (maybe I’ll detail them for you all in an upcoming newsletter!) but this one makes up for that tenfold!

I love the richness of it, the beauty of the jeweled dagger feels like such a corollary for Sybella. Then of course the vipers swirling in the shadows pretty much sums up Sybella’s life. And really, it feels like we could all use a little of Sybella in our life right now, no?

The paperback reprint will also have extra content in the form of a new epilogue. A lot of you wanted just a teensy bit more at the end of the book, so we are happy to accommodate that wish. (I will put up a pre-order link as soon as the book goes live on bookseller sights!) And if you haven’t signed up for my newsletter–do! I have lots of deleted scenes from DARK TRIUMPH that I will be sharing in the coming months!)

Also, in case you missed it, there is more Dark Triumph content on the website, with an article on the charbonnerie, and the strong influences of some of my favorite fairy tales. If you haven’t seen them already, you might want to take a look.

Can’t wait to show you Mortal Heart’s new cover SOON! (Again, subscribers to my newsletter will see it in all its glory later this week, along with a deleted scene with Annith and Balthazaar.)

Newsletter Coming!

Tuesday, June 19

It’s something I’ve been meaning to do for YEARS, but am only now (with COURTING DARKNESS finally put to bed!) getting to: a newsletter!

I know, I know. Does the world really need another newsletter? Maybe not. But if you are hungry to know more about the His Fair Assassin world, the mythology, the history, occasional outtakes, insights to the writing process, and occasional author thoughts on writing and Life In General, then this is the place for you. Oh! And did I mention that newsletter subscribers will be THE VERY FIRST to see the new paperback reprint covers? As well as have access to exclusive content, writing workshops/worksheets, deleted scenes, and sneak previews?

And if all of that doesn’t tempt you, all subscribers will be entered in TWO drawings. One for a  COURTING DARKNESS advanced reading copy and the second one for a set of the new paperback reprints when they publish in October. Everyone who subscribes before June 30 will be entered. (Yes–even those of you who signed up YEARS ago when the subscription form first appeared.)

The newsletter is tentatively titled The Inner Sanctum, although if you have any title ideas, let me know in the comments! If I use your idea, I will thank you with an ARC of COURTING DARKNESS. You can sign up HERE or in the sidebar.

And to whet your appetites just a little bit, here is a teaser preview of the new DARK TRIUMPH cover:

Also, feel free to mention what topics you’d like to read about in a newsletter. It’s for you, after all.

New Grave Mercy Cover!

Wednesday, May 9

Hard to believe its been SIX YEARS since Grave Mercy first came out! And in honor of the release of Courting Darkness, my publisher is issuing new paperback reprints of the entire His Fair Assassin trilogy! Like the Courting Darkness cover, they were designed by Billelis. They are wildly different from the original covers, and I think this new one for Grave Mercy is stunning!

The paperback reprint will also include Extra Material–an unused scene from when the girls were at the convent together and a new epilogue. They’ll be available in October. I hope you love it as much as I do! (And this is probably a good time for me to point out that if you currently own a partial set of the original trilogy, and you want them all to match, now would be the time to complete that set while the original covers are still available.)

Stay tuned for the Dark Triumph cover next month!

(p.s. I am finally, finally going to be starting my newsletter. If you’re interested in some of the history behind the books or deleted scenes, more info about the HFA world, or general news/info/goodies about the books, the sign up link is in the sidebar.)

At long last I can share with you the stunning cover for COURTING DARKNESS!

 

 

I couldn’t be happier with it! It SO captures the mood of the book! You can read the first chapter and meet the newest of Death’s daughters, Genevieve, on USAToday’s HappilyEverAfter. A little teaser:

I was born in the upstairs room of an ancient roadside tavern, a group of common whores acting as midwives. My mother, too, was a whore, although perhaps not so very common. Would an ordinary woman invite Death to her bed on a dare?

You can read the rest of the chapter here!
