A New Ella Steele Novel and Mini Romance

Just taking a second to let you know that a new Ella Steele romance novel and mini romance will be coming out this month!  Wahoo!

Working title for the novel is DECEPTION (although I expect it to change).

The mini romance is called TRYST.  Keep your eyes peeled for cover reveals and release dates.

***BOTH romance books will be released in July***  

People have asked if either carry on with the SCANDALOUS story line between Jack and Abby.  The answer is no, but for those of you who can’t get enough, there will be a Jack & Abby mini released later this year.  These new romance titles have similar characters, so if you liked SCANDALOUS, you’ll like these.

Want to make sure you don’t miss it?  Sign up for the newsletter and get the info sent directly to you on release day!

Thank you so much to everyone who read SCANDALOUS and gave me feedback via reviews!  You guys are awesome.  Keep a look out for more summer giveaways.  It’s gonna be a hot July!

VAMPIRE APOCALYPSE #1 is today for only $3.99

 

Description:

The world as we know it is gone. The ice caps have melted and shifted south, devastating the northern territories and eradicating major cities such as New York and London, which are now under water and frozen. Humans died off during an epidemic prior to the ice disaster, and many more died during the floods at the start of this new ice age.

These events have forced vampires out of hiding. In order to ensure that their food source wouldn’t completely die off, the vampires have sequestered the remaining humans into farms and taken control of all that remains of civilization. Over time, the humans breeding on these farms became anemic. Their blood no longer sustains the master race. But not all of the humans were captured and sent to the farms. Some of the humans evaded the hunters, hiding in safe houses across the frozen tundra. As decades passed, the free humans disappeared, died, or were captured, until all that remains is one. Kahli is the last wild human. BANE is her story.

Valefar Vol. 2 (A Paranormal Romance Novella: Collin Smith #2 in the Demon Kissed Series) is waiting for you!

ya paranormal romance, best teen books, vampires, demons, fallen angels

VALEFAR VOL. 2 (A Paranormal Romance Novella: Collin Smith #2 in the Demon Kissed Series) by H.M. Ward was released!

As many of you already realize, the Demon Kissed series is broken up into three parts.  Part 1 is Ivy’s story (Demon Kissed books #1-5) and a great place to start, but there are two other entry points into this series.

Eric’s story is told in Fall of the Golden Valefar (yet to be released).  Chronologically, Eric’s stories take place after the last Ivy Taylor book, in a post-apocalyptic world.  This is another entry point into the series.  You can read Eric’s stories alone, or read it in conjunction with the others, which will give them a lot more depth.  Fall of the Golden Valefar Book #1 will be released April 30, 2012.

Collin’s story is told in the Valefar Volumes and takes place about a year prior to Demon Kissed #1 (Ivy’s 1st book).  The Valefar Volumes reveal more twists and turns, and a lot more back story about the inner workings of the Valefar, and lots more of Collin!  This is another entry point into the series.  Valefar Volumes can stand alone, or add more depth to the rest of the series.  All three of the major characters are woven in and out of Valefar.  If you read Demon Kissed first, you can see what’s happening and it creates even more tension that makes reading these little books extra enjoyable.  Valefar Volumes are also a lot lighter, like the first Demon Kissed books, which younger readers will enjoy.

Feeling confused?  Think of it this way: The Valefar Volumes are to Demon Kissed what Episode 1 is to Star Wars.  Get it?  They stand alone, but the stories are woven together.

Valefar Vol. 2 description:

“The dangerous and beautiful Collin Smith just made the biggest mistake of his life, and there is no way to fix it. In his quest to restore his soul, he destroyed the only person he truly cared about, Ivy Taylor. Collin tries to deny his love for her, but his desire to protect Ivy drives him to do things Valefar shouldn’t do. If Collin exposes his weakness—his affection for Ivy—he endangers them both and risks the wrath of Kreturus.”

The VALEFAR volumes are meant to read in one sitting, and generally takes about an hour. VALEFAR VOL. 2 is a YA Paranormal Romance and has 13,223 words (90 pages). VALEFAR VOL. 3 will be released Summer 2012.

Grab Valefar Vol. 2 now on Amazon!  Nook and paperback to follow!
