Cover Reveal: SECRETS 2 Gets a New Cover and Description

Posted on October 29, 2012 by admin

Okay, so some of you might be like why are you redoing the covers and descriptions? In short, because they sucked. These books are sexy. They are packed with lots of sexual tension, steamy kisses, and witty banter, with a feisty heroine and a to-die-for-hottie hero. The new covers and descriptions are a better reflection of the smoldering content.

Here is the new cover for SECRETS 2. Ooooh! Aaaah!

New description: “Sexy thoughts about Cole fill Anna’s dreams. Every detail burns brightly in her mind; the way his hands feel on her bare skin, the soft brush of his lips against hers, and the way their bodies fit perfectly together. Anna awakes breathless, tingling as if it really happened. What caused her to think about Cole like that? It was completely forbidden.

And Anna didn’t feel that way about him, at least she didn’t think she did. Cole was fun to flirt with, that’s all, and the sexual tension between them was normal, right? Everyone has that from time to time with some super-hot guy. It made sense. Her mind was just telling her that she needs a boyfriend.

But what if Cole’s the right guy? What if he’s right there and Anna lets him slip through her fingers? Cole’s more than she bargained for, with enough sex appeal to make Anna realize everything she’s been missing.”

You can purchase SECRETS 2 at these retailers:

SECRETS 3 will also get a face lift and description make-over shortly. If you haven’t read these yet, give the 1st book a try. SECRETS series books are about 100 pages on a Kindle, or about 250 pages mass paperback, so you can try it and see what you think without investing a ton of time. I’m a time snob. I want to try new stuff, but am hesitant to jump into a 700 page book from a new author. This series is a great way to get your feet wet and see if we jive. Fans have also told me that these are perfect for traveling, the gym, etc. because of the length.

After the cover is redone for Volume 3, then it’s onto the cover reveal for SECRETS 4. I might have to post a teaser, too.The tentative release date for Vol 4 is November 20, 2012, so right before Thanksgiving.

CATALYST – Vampire Apocalypse #2 Released!

Posted on October 20, 2012 by admin

CATALYST – Vampire Apocalypse #2 was released!

Description: Blood is power. Since the world froze and the humans died off, blood has become scarce. There’s barely enough to sustain the vampire population, even though their masses have dwindled. Many vampires are reduced to the measly few drops of blood rationed to them by the Regent, which is enough to keep them alive, barely. It’s survival; an undesirable existence.

Before the world froze, before the humans slaughtered each other in their wars, blood was ample and rich. The odds of feeding from an infected human, one with weakened blood, was rare, but now it is normal. Every human within the palace walls is anemic. Though they tried, the Regent was not able to curb the severity of the disease. Their humans became sickly, growing weaker and weaker until they were so fragile that a single scrape could kill them.

The weakened blood means an unstable source of food, but there have been other repercussions—things no one saw coming. As time passed, fangs retreated, reflections appeared, and light was no longer destructive. Vampires can now walk in the full sunlight without turning to ash. Too many generations have passed. Many vampires cannot remember a time when blood flowed richly, when vampires did not have to abstain and endure a slow starvation.

One human can change everything. One human can restore the old ways and return vampires to their former glory—Kahli—but the girl escaped. Blood is power, and the vampire who finds Kahli first will have all the power.

“My favorite vampire series of the year! If you are looking for a different kind of vampire book with a twist then this is it.” – Brittany @ Sparetime Books

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.

Want to get an email reminder on release day? Text AWESOMEBOOKS to 22828. Have a great weekend!

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!

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!

SECRETS Vol. 3 by Ella Steele is Out Today!

Posted on September 9, 2012 by admin

SECRETS VOL. 3 by Ella Steele was released today!

Description:

“When Anna admits she’s falling for Cole she can’t believe his response. He pushes her away with an excuse that seems too flimsy to be real. Crushed, Anna continues working at Cole’s Long Island studio, but she can’t stop thinking about him. It isn’t until Anna is called into the dean’s office that the real trouble starts. To make matters worse, Edward keeps popping up at the worst times reminding her of everything she wants to forget.”

Genre: Mature YA/ New Adult

SECRETS VOL. 4 will be released Fall 2012.

Dude, what the heck is Mature YA/ New Adult? It means that it’s more mature than YA (like 12-yr-olds shouldn’t read it) but not in the general adult mass of books. The heroine in the SECRETS series is a 22 year old college student named Anna Lamore. It’s a coming of age love story for people who like the pacing of YA books, but want hotter romance than YA typically offers. So to sum up, this is a steamy read not for little kids.

Get this title via:

Nook & Kobo links coming soon. Paperback to follow.

Thank you to everyone who encouraged me to write this series! I love seeing what you guys think in your reviews. Yes, I read those! Tell me what you liked, what you wish there was more of, and what you totally gotta have in the next book. It’s the best way to get your voice heard, and I’m totally listening! This installment of SECRETS is HOT. You’ve been warned.
