Contest! Calling All Artists! Enter to Win Books w Your Awesome Art!

Okay, you all gotta know how much I love art by now. Whether its music, painting, or the preforming arts – I LOVE THEM! And with so many talented fans, we gotta have an art contest.

Here’s the deal. Make your art (picture, painting, drawing, song, video, etc) of your favorite character/ part from DEMON KISSED, BANE or COLLIDE. Show us what Trystan looks like and how much he loves Mari in COLLIDE. Paint a picture of Ivy’s flaming purple hair at the end of DEMON KISSED when she goes all kick ass and slays the Valefar. Write a song or poem like Trystan’s love song for Mari. Make a manga style drawing of Kahli and Will fighting the wolves in BANE. Go nuts!

After you finish your creation, there are two ways to submit your art: 1. via facebook – just post it on the Demon Kissed wall. or 2. via email. attach your entry and send to hmward AT demonkissed DOT com. Dude, facebook is really easy. I’d opt for that one. You can post pics, video, etc directly onto the wall at www.facebooks.com/demonkissed

I’ll choose my favorite piece of art at the end of the month. Select entries may be posted on the facebook wall or the official DemonKissed.com website for fans to admire. Please include your 1st name and age with your entry. The winner will get to choose a signed copy of DEMON KISSED, COLLIDE, or BANE.

Here are some examples of art work that fans posted in the past. Fans range from age 10 and up. The artwork posted is my fans of all ages.

 

These are all from DEMON KISSED. I can’t wait to see what you do with COLLIDE and BANE! Everyone is encouraged to enter. Artists rock! Let’s show you off to 50,000 fans! Whaoo!

Details: US only please. If you’re under 18, make sure you have your parent’s permission. No cash value. This contest is for fun, and to encourage artists to show off their skills.

CATALYST is 2nd on the Hot New Releases List!

So, I had no idea it was there. I just clicked around last night on Amazon, looking for another book to buy (ran out of stuff to read again) and I saw my book in the sidebar. Look! That’s me! Hooray! Just thought it was cool and wanted to share.

vampire ya book, new release teen, hot new teen series, bestselling teen vampire

I’m surrounded by traditionally published, kickass books. I mean, two are House of Night! It’s so exciting!

If you haven’t read BANE yet, go grab it. It’s on sale for 99 cents right now. If you’re wondering how a vampire book could possibly be different, read the first chapter of BANE and see for yourself. The reviews on Amazon alone floored me. BANE has only been out a few months and really had no following when I launched it. It climbed up the sales charts and has been hanging neck and neck with DEMON KISSED.

BANE pulled in it’s own audience. You guys rock! Thanks for trying something new!

CATALYST is on sale for $3.99 right now. You can get it at these retailers:

             
If you want to be notified via email on release day, text AWESOMEBOOKS to 22828. You’ll get a reminder email with the book cover, description, and links to book. I’ve gotten a lot of thank you letters for offering this. I’m glad it works and you guys like it!

CATALYST (Vampire Apocalypse #2) Release Date

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!

Valefar Vol. 1 by H.M. Ward is FREE March 24, 25, 26, & 27

paranormal romance, ya paranormal, ya romance, fallen angel

VALEFAR VOL. 1 by H.M. Ward is FREE today via Amazon!  Go get it!

Today’s the day!  Valefar Vol. 1 is free on March 24-27th on Amazon!  That’s right, it’s totally free!  Just click the link and grab the ebook!

This is the story of what happened to the beautiful and dangerous Collin Smith prior to Demon Kissed #1.  Find out more about the blood bargain that imprisoned him.  Watch his infatuation with Ivy turn to something more.  This paranormal romance is in the same flavor as Demon Kissed, and told from Collin’s point-of-view.

If you’ve already read the Demon Kissed series, this will shed some more light on the Valefar and the undercurrents of evil that surround the creatures of the Underworld.

A note to peeps who don’t own a Kindle and still want the free book: Yes, you can still get it and read VALEFAR VOL. 1 on your kindle, phone, or computer.  No additional software is required.  In fact, you don’t have to do anything.  Just ‘buy’ it and open.  Amazon will use Cloud on your computer, so it looks just like the printed edition.  And you don’t have to wait!  It’s there as soon as you click!

Valefar Vol. 1 is Free on March 24th on Kindle!

VALEFAR VOL. 1 WILL BE FREE ON MARCH 24th, 26th, & 27th!valefar, demon kissed, hm ward, ya paranormal romance, vampires

Grab Valefar Vol. 1 about the dangerous Valefar Collin Smith on March 24-27th for free!

This novella is part of the Young Adult Paranormal Romance series, Demon Kissed by H.M. Ward.

Description:

“It’s 369 days before Ivy loses her soul to a demon kiss. And, Collin Smith, the most powerful Valefar this side of Hell, wants his soul back. He thinks he’ll get it too, until a bargain with a powerful demon proves to be more costly than he hoped.

As his world shifts, Collin tries to protect Ivy, but he knows he can’t be with her. Torn between his affection for the girl and his loyalty, Collin is forced to be the evil creature he tries so hard to deny – a Valefar.”

The Demon Kissed series is split into 3 parts according the character:

  1. Collin (Valefar Volumes 1-5): These novellas take place BEFORE Ivy is sucked into his world.  Collin fans can see lots of Collin, more of the Valefar world, and get more back-story on Collin and Ivy.  There are glimpses of Eric, too.
  2. Ivy (Demon Kissed 1-5):  These novels follow Ivy’s dark destiny from the time she gets marked.
  3. Eric (Fall of the Golden Valefar 1-4): Unofficially, these are Demon Kissed novels 6-10, but they can be read prior to Demon Kissed.  Fall of the Golden Valefar shifts into Paranormal Romance for an older crowd, meaning more bad boy behavior from Eric and saucy sex scenes from this unpredictable character.

So, remember MARCH 24th — grab Valefar Vol. 1 for free!

Gotta Nook and want the freebie?  Use Cloudreader and read it on your computer.  Free is free.  Grab it while you can!  And if you totally gotta read it on your Nook, don’t fret.  Valefar Vol. 1 will be available for Nook again on March 29th.
