CATALYST (Vampire Apocalypse #2) Release Date

Posted on October 12, 2012 by admin

The 2nd book in the bestselling Vampire Apocalypse series will be released on October 20, 2012!

I can’t tell you how many emails and messages I’ve gotten from fans asking when this book will be out. It got delayed a little bit. What can I say? I’m a bit of a control freak and wanted to hold onto it a little longer.

Vampire Apocalypse is the major novel series I’m working on right now, meaning they are ~ 300 page novels (trade paperback size) similar to the length of the books in the DEMON KISSED series. I expect book #3 in the Vampire Apocalypse series, DIVERGENT, to be released in December.

The giveaway for signed copies of CATALYST is still going on. Want to enter to win a copy? Simply post your review of BANE on Amazon after reading the 1st book. That’s it! I’ll pick a couple of awesome people when the time comes. Winners will be announced on the blog. US only.

I can’t wait to share the next part of Kahli’s adventure with you! If you haven’t read BANE, make sure you grab it while it’s on sale for 99 cents! It’ll go back to regular price soon.

Trystan Scott #2 Gets Reviewed! 5 Stars!

Posted on October 2, 2012 by admin

BACKDRAFT: THE SECRET LIFE OF TRYSTAN SCOTT #2

Check out the 1st review for BACKDRAFT!

“There are books that you read that you really like or love. Then there are books that really touch your heart. I have only read a few that sincerely touch something deep inside. They are the ones that stay with you after reading them. This is one of those books. I relate a lot to Mari. Pressure to be perfect, whether it’s in school or something else. I think we have all been there. I was. Mari and Trystan appear to be more alike then they think. Both with trouble at home and both head over heals for each other. Right when they were going to tell one another something would happen and neither of them would. Seriously, I was ready to burst!!! I just wanted them to tell each other already!!! The comment about hooking up with someone was the best catalyst you could ask for. I also loved the Kiss Assassin! Brilliant!

Trystan is pretty much the ideal guy. Slightly damaged but, I think Mari can rescue him. I felt bad for Trystan in book 1 and that continued through Backdraft. I wanted to wrap him in a warm blanket and give him hot chocolate or something. The poor guy needs a break from real life and go somewhere else. Hopefully with Mari!! Actually, they could both use a break from their lives.

I need book 3….like yesterday. If you haven’t read this series yet YOU REALLY SHOULD! It is a series of novellas that are worth reading! Will true love win? I’m honestly not sure yet. There are so many different ways this story could go. I will be anxiously waiting for the next one!”

Haven’t grabbed it yet? Go get BACKDRAFT now at these retailers.

Thank you to everyone who ran out and bought BACKDRAFT as soon as it came out! I love all your emails, facebook, and twitter posts! Keep them coming! Remember to leave a review when you are done and spread the love!

PS – I have no idea what’s up with B&N. So many of you have been asking, chomping off your fingers and yelling at your computer for them to hurry up. B&N is taking longer than usual to post the book, but it will be there soon! Don’t freak. If you totally can’t wait, get it for Nook via SW. Several people have done that and you can have it now without waiting.

BACKDRAFT: THE SECRET LIFE OF TRYSTAN SCOTT #2 by H.M. Ward was released today!

Posted on October 1, 2012 by admin

BACKDRAFT: THE SECRET LIFE OF TRYSTAN SCOTT #2

DESCRIPTION: “When Mari realizes that Trystan is the internet megastar, Day Jones, she can’t speak. Every time she listens to his song, it leaves her feeling so much. That song is bewitching. Everyone she knows heard it. As soon as it appeared on YouTube, it went viral, and then the guy who wrote it disappeared. Despite agents and record labels trying to lure Day5705 out, he remains anonymous. No one knows who Day Jones really is—except Mari.

To Trystan’s relief, Mari agrees to keep his secret. Part of him regrets uploading the song, but when he sings to Mari the song that once brought him solace, it fills him joy. In a life like his, joy is fleeting and Trystan plans on grabbing hold whenever a shot at happiness appears. To his surprise, Mari doesn’t realize the song is about her. When Trystan tries to push her to see, he jeopardizes losing her entirely.

One misplaced kiss topples the fragile relationship, leaving Trystan reeling, trying to assemble the pieces and convincing Mari that she’s not just another conquest, even though everything he did—everything he said—makes it seem like she is. It isn’t until Mari decides that being the good girl isn’t working that things steam up. Trystan knows she wants to hook up with someone, and he doesn’t know if he should stop her. Every attempt he makes to win her over goes bad and pushes her further away.

As the world gets one day closer to tracking down Day Jones, Trystan is one day closer to graduation and leaving this life forever. If Mari doesn’t realize he loves her by then, she never will.”

This is the second book in THE SECRET LIFE OF TRYSTAN SCOTT series. These books are available in mass paperback and are about 240 pgs. They are condensed, steamy YA romances pivoting around Trystan and Mari. If you loved the Ivy/ Collin relationship in the first DEMON KISSED book, this is like that, but MORE!

“I have read all of H.M. Ward books n I’m n love with them all. This book Collide is another great book. It’s short, but I still love it. I read it n a day, but I wish I could find a man like Trysten for me…lol I hope Mari gives Trysten a chance because he seems very sweet, special. Great job Ward, keep writing cause u make my day a better day when I can sit down n read great books by great artist.” -Deda via Amazon

“I am a huge fan of H. M Ward. After reading Collide i can say it is my favorite work of hers. it took me only a few hours to read it but i was addicted after the first page. I love the way Ward writes. Throughout Collide I has this feeling of anticipation and nervousness. In a way I felt the way the characters felt, and i love when an author can write like that. It makes me love the book even more. Collide is an amazing book and I was addicted. Collide is just and addicting and agonizing book to read. I could not read fast enough. I would find myself jumping lines so that i could know what would happen faster. Ward definitely worte an amazing book. The emotions, actions, and thoughts that the main charaters where having are exactly how people my age (i am 16 years old) would feel and think and act. Collide is definitely a must read! 5 stars!” -Xena0128 via Amazon

I’m so glad you guys like it! I haven’t written anything like it before and it’s so nice to read your comments and reviews! The fact that you all love it blows me away. I can’t wait to put out the second volume and see what you think!

COLLIDE: THE SECRET LIFE OF TRYSTAN SCOTT (Vol. 1)

Posted on September 2, 2012 by admin

Description: When Mari accidentally overhears that Trystan is in love, she can’t believe it. He’s pining over some girl that doesn’t know he’s alive. The confident swagger and endless stream of girls is a facade. It conceals his loneliness and hides how messed up he’s really become trying to flee from a life that’s battered him to his core.

Trystan tries to figure out how to make it clear how much he loves her. But every insincere kiss, every broken promise haunts him because she knows them all. Now Trystan has to prove to the one girl who thinks true love is real that she’s not just another conquest.

Mari keeps his secret, but quickly learns about an even bigger secret about Trystan Scott—one that is impossible to keep.

Genre: Mature YA

REVIEW from Brittany @ STBB- the awesome book reviewer: 5 STARS

“I was so surprised by Collide. I read this novella in about three hours. I was sucked in quickly and devoured it. It isn’t your typical young hot man meets girl and they are instantly infatuated and sex crazed. Mari and Trystan have been friends for a couple years. Mari helping Trystan run lines for a play. Trystan seems like your typical hot guy but, he has a few big secrets.

The novella switches back and forth between Mari and Trystan’s point of view, which I love. You really get to see what each of them is thinking in the situations. Mari and Trystan both put up a strong front but, inside are broken. They have had a rough past. Trystan especially, I felt so bad for him. My heart ached for him. Mari was a lot like me in high school. A shy girl who believes in love. I completely agree on her point of view about kissing. They both have secrets and issues in their lives. Can they be over come? Will love win?

I really enjoyed Trystan and Mari. Their best friends I wanted to just slap. I was like, “don’t listen to them!!!” Seth seems to me like the more typical version of high school senior. A hormone crazed guy if you will. In his own twisted way he was looking out for his friend the same way Katie did for Mari. In more of a guy way.

H.M. Ward keeps knocking them out of the park. The way Collide ends will leave you begging for more! I have to know what’s going to happen with these two. It was so well written. You will enjoy this if you are a fan of H.M. Ward and I would highly recommend it. Collide will be out in paperback later this week. The next volume is due out around October 1st.” -Brittany at Spare Time Book Blog

Cover Reveal: COLLIDE (The Secret Life of Trystan Scott) by H.M. Ward (YA Romance)

Posted on August 19, 2012 by admin

YA Romance, Mature YA book, contemporary romance, secret life, hannah montanna

Cover reveal! And series reveal!

Okay, I didn’t really say anything about this series. It’s something I was working on along with NEVERLAND LOST.

COLLIDE turned into one of those stories that I can’t stop thinking about, even though it was supposed to be something on the side to play with while writing CATALYST (Vampire Apocalypse #2).

COLLIDE is about the secret life of Trystan Scott. It’s told in 1st person, from his friend Mari’s point-of-view.

Mari was assigned to run lines with Trystan after school–it’s a job any other girl would have died to get–but Mari doesn’t want to be like everyone else. She’s thinks a kiss should mean something and Trystan gives them away like jellybeans. When Mari accidentally overhears that Trystan is in love, she can’t believe it. He’s pining over some girl that doesn’t know he’s alive. The confident swagger and endless stream of girls is a facade. Mari keeps his secret, but she learns quickly about an even bigger secret to keep.

This story will be part of a series. It’s about music, acting, art and a hot bad boy that finally meets his match. Anticipated release: November 2012.
