THE ARRANGEMENT Series by HM Ward is Now Part of Kindle Unlimited

Posted on September 6, 2014 by admin

The NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLING THE ARRANGEMENT series that you know and love is now part of Kindle Unlimited!

This is a new program that is offered by Amazon to allow readers to get as many books as they like for a flat monthly fee of $9.99. Think of it as one of the world’s largest libraries. You can go in and grab a book, read it, return it, and get another–all without leaving your comfy couch. Middle of the night and payday’s a week away, no problem. Kindle Unlimited is perfect for people who are reading and spending more than $10 a month on books. Let’s face it, if you have one reader in your house, you’re spending more than that. Me & Mike already signed up for it.

There are some older titles that we KUpic grabbed, plus some newer works. And you get a FREE 30 day trial, so check it out. As a reader with a family of readers, it’s a great place to grab something and with over half a million titles to choose from, there’s something for every member of your family. One membership and every kindle that’s attached to your account can use it to read books for free.

After a lot of talking with Amazon we were able to include the entire ARRANGEMENT series. This is the first of the HM WARD titles to appear in Kindle Unlimited. The plan is that as the weeks go on, my other series will be added.

For people who don’t have a Kindle, don’t worry-you do NOT need one. Just grab the FREE kindle app and read on your tablet, smart phone, or even on your computer. You’ll finally get to see why the FERRO series has sold over 4 MILLION copies. No more waiting until payday to buy a book. Yes!

THE ARRANGEMENT 1-16 were all listed today and should appear shortly. The listing above has already been added to the program. See how it says Kindle Unlimited: FREE – that means it’s registered in the program. You also see the KU logo under it with a link for more info and to sign up.

FYI: I don’t get a bounty or a reward if you sign up. Just saying, because some people like to know. We do have this in my house. Between us, we have seven Kindles, most are for reading. Up to ten books can be out at a time, from what I understand. We’ve not checked out that many books at once. It’s awesome though, because you can have out multiple books on multiple devices at a time. And with my series alone, it pays for the 1st month.

Share this news with your friends and family as it’s a limited time offer and can change without notice. The is a beta program, so it could change at any time.

Then, AFTER you read all about Sean, check out Club Ferro on Facebook. You can compare notes and talk to nearly 6,000 other Ferro fans. It’s fun! To get the latest info on releases and upcoming events text AWESOMEBOOKS to 22828 or click here.

I’ll let you know when more series have been added. For everyone waiting for a sale on my serials, here you go!

PS – THE ARRANGEMENT series is still available on all other sites, as before. This program is via Amazon, so I can’t change that part. But if you have a Nook and you want to buy the NookBook, it’s still there too.

Ferro, Fan Fiction, and Kindle Worlds!

Posted on June 27, 2014 by admin

I discoveredfan fiction after I released my Demon Kissed series. There were people that loved the world so much that they wanted to contribute to it! Sometimes they’d bring their own characters to life in it, and sometimes they’d play with the characters that I created. That’s totally awesome. And, as a writer, really weird. Those are my characters! And when other people play with them, it’s like they’ve rented a condo in some small part of my brain — and it can be crowded enough in here at times. :o)

But, fan fiction has been around forever! The problem has always been, what do writers do with those stories after they write them? No matter how great their stories are, they can’t distribute them – after all, it isn’t entirely their story (remember, they’re borrowing space in my brain, so there are usually copyright issues.) So, some great stuff has ended up locked away on somebody’s hard drive, or tucked away in some dark corner of the internet.

Kindle Worlds is a great solution! I’m inviting the awesome Ferro fan fiction writers that are out there to share their stuff with the world. I’m cool with it! Will Ferro fans want to read it? I have no idea. Like anything creative, there’s going to be stuff that misses the mark. But, there will also be some incredible stuff that never would have seen the light of day without Kindle Worlds. And even I want to read that stuff!

I’m planning on writing for a long time to come. So, fans aren’t in trouble of running out of HM Ward books or Ferro hotness. This move just brings out a lot of great stories that were being written anyway and lets everyone have a chance to decide if they’re worth reading.

If you caught my announcement earlier in the month, about HM Ward Press, you already know that I think some of my fans are amazing writers. Enough so that I’m writing some (stand-alone) novels with them and putting both our names on the cover. The talent is out there – and a lot of readers are always looking for great books. This is really exciting and a new step that hasn’t been taken before, and the cool part is that it allows new writers to explore parts of the Ferro story that I’ll never have time to write. For the love of all things Ferro, let’s see what we can do! Head over and check it out.

New Release: SECRETS & LIES by HM Ward

Posted on June 23, 2014 by admin

SECRETSandLIESnewcover1200

SECRETS & LIES is out today!

Description:

A new serial by New York Times Bestselling author H.M. Ward

They say the best way to get over a broken heart is a random hook-up. So my new BFF is dragging me to a bar. All I have to do is wear a slutty dress, choose a dude, and do the deed, right? The thing is, this isn’t me. I’m the good girl — the one who has sex for love. But, since the love of my life is shacked up with someone else, I guess it’s time to move on.

One night, one time. That’s all. I’ll have a clean slate.

A guy with a sketch pad, sitting alone, catches my eye. I’m a sucker for the artistic type with dark hair and bright blue eyes. Soon we’re in his hotel room doing things I’ve never done. His smoldering body, perfectly toned with hot skin and a firm touch, has my mind reeling with the things to come. We’re both naked and glistening with sweat, breathless.

And then he darts, right before doing the deed, abandoning me in his room. He doesn’t return.

A week later I see him again, and realize that he wasn’t just a random guy. My heart clenches at the massive mistake, and I still don’t grasp the extent of it. I should have run and never looked back.

Genre: New Adult Romance
This story unfolds over multiple volumes, approx 115 pgs ea, this is 1 of 7

10 Completed Series by HM Ward

Posted on November 29, 2013 by admin

secretsnewcoverBN

“Does she ever finish a series?!” That sentiment, or something like it, has been popping up more and more lately. I’d like to say Psh, to that. Psht! As if! Over the course of two short years I have started and finished the series below.

That’s NINE NOVELS, just for the series below, that were written and completed in 2 years. Plus the novellas!

THIS blog and my facebook page are the only places to get real answers about things. Authors aren’t allowed to comment on the Kindle forums, so please know that I’m not ignoring you when you ask questions. Come over to the FB page and any thing you ask will be answered pretty quick.

Here is a list of completed series.

COMPLETED SERIES: (9 NOVELS + the novellas written since 2011)

DAMAGED (novel, 340pgs, cliffhanger, 1 of 2 book series)
DAMAGED 2 (novel, 325 pgs, no cliffhanger, 2 of 2 book series)
SCANDALOUS (novel, 324 pgs no cliffhanger, was originally a stand alone)
SCANDALOUS 2 (novel, 338 pgs, no cliffhanger, was added b/c of fan demand)
SECRETS 1-5 (serials, cliff hangers, ea vol is ~20K-35K words or 130-190 pgs ea at trade paperback size)
CHRISTMAS KISSES (stand alone novella – 132 pgs)
A LITTLE CHRISTMAS ROMANCE (stand alone novella – 96 pgs)
DEMON KISSED 1-5 (novels, length: 242-496 pgs each, 5 novel series, cliffhangers)
STONE PRISON (novella, 78pgs, stand alone)
THE SECRET LIFE OF TRYSTAN SCOTT 1-5 (serials, cliffhangers, approx 130 trade paperback pages ea)
THE WEDDING CONTRACT (stand alone novel, Ferro world – 306 pgs)
SECOND CHANCES (stand alone novel, 316 pgs)

Many readers will enjoy a book, and go looking for another by the same author while waiting for the next release in the first series they picked up. I often have a couple of active series going at a time, which can make it feel like everything that’s picked up leaves the readers waiting for something more. That’s why I try to indicate completed series in the listings. Having multiple active series lets me continue writing while ideas still develop for another title. A traditional author may spend a year thinking and writing on a book. Instead of leaving that as dead time, I use it to write another book.

I know there are people who like to read series ONLY after everything is released, and that is wonderful. That is also the reason why the listings indicate if the book is part of a series, and how many there are. e.g. STRIPPED is 1 of 2.

As a general rule of thumb, H.M. Ward romance novels have 2 books per series, and 5 books per serial unless otherwise stated.

The exception to the rule is THE ARRANGEMENT. It does not have a firm number of books in the series because it is fan driven. That means the fans are dictating what happens to the story line (e.g. Should I leave in the dark sex scene in book 5?, Should Avery and Marty’s relationship change?, Should Sean propose?, What should happen to Mel?, etc.) Every decision the fans make alters the story and adds to it.

For people who like to know how many books the series will have, I can’t tell you yet. I do know that it’s winding down, but that’s all I know. It depends on what the fans ask for at this point. I strongly suggest NOT reading this series if you hate cliffhangers. The Arrangement series is the only series that I have that’s like this. It’s sold over a million copies and has at least half a million fans who LOVE the story and are dying for more.

Another common question is about release dates. Novels typically have a firm release dates, while serials do not. Why is that? It’s so that the serials get into your hands faster. If I set a publication date, I have to stall the release for as long as several weeks, which would suck. So I don’t do that. I release serials as soon as they’re finished, which is generally every 3-4 weeks.

On average, I’ve released a new book every 2.5 weeks this year.

RELEASE INFO! Last Monday A LITTLE CHRISTMAS ROMANCE was released. This upcoming Monday THE PROPOSITION 1 will come out. The following Monday will be THE ARRANGEMENT 12. Then, I’ll drop.

That’ll be 45 books written and published in 2 years.
