BY NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLING AUTHOR H.M. WARD

BOOK #1 IN THE BESTSELLING DEMON KISSED SERIES

Seventeenth birthdays aren’t supposed to suck, but mine does. Literally. Before I know what’s happened a guy knocks me to the ground and tries to suck out my soul. With a kiss. That’s all it takes with his kind. This next part is embarrassing–I thought this guy was my boyfriend. Screw that, I thought he was human, but those creepy, blood red eyes suggest I was mistaken.

This is it, the end of my sucktacularly short life–killed by a creature that’s half vampire, half demon, and smokin’ hot. Killed by a kiss. It sounds poetic until it happens to you.

The world fades to black, but just as I accept my fate, someone saves me. At least I think he saved me, because I’m still alive. It isn’t until much later that I learn what really happened and exactly what it cost me.

GIVEAWAY! Win All 6 *Signed* DEMON KISSED Books!

Enter to win ALL 6 books in the bestselling DEMON KISSED series by H.M. Ward! This series is mature YA Paranormal Romance.

What’s this series about? It starts with a soul-sucking kiss.

“The Valefar boy tricked Ivy Taylor into kissing him, but he took much more than a kiss – he stole her soul and left her within inches of death. By surviving, Ivy is drawn into the conflict between the Martis and the Valefar. The war between these two immortal forces has raged for millennia without distraction. Until now. Ivy is an anomaly–she is the only person who has ever walked away from a demon kiss alive. Her survival gives her unique and deadly abilities. Too powerful to ignore, Ivy is a threat to both armies. These two ancient enemies will stop at nothing to kill the seventeen-year-old.

Surviving is nothing new for headstrong Ivy, but her survival has never depended on another person before. This time it does. And if she misplaces her trust, she’s dead. To her horror, she starts falling in love at the worst possible time–with the enemy. He appears to be protecting her. But she can’t be certain if he is trying to help her, or help himself to her power. For Ivy, trusting the right person is the difference between love and survival, or a deadly demon kiss.”
“Demon kissed was incredible. It has been a really long time since I read something that had me so engrossed in the story. I have not been this enraptured by a novel since I read Karen Marie Moning’s Fever Series. It’s that good.” -Kris via Amazon
Enter to WIN ALL 6 BOOKS NOW!
THE WINNER IS:
Carey Sabala
Congrats!

Models With McDonalds – Cover Models, Back Before They Were Ivy & Kahli

I found these pictures from an old shoot we did way back when.

I thought you guys might like to see what the cover models for BANE and DEMON KISSED were doing back in the day.

Check it out.

This was the first time they met. These were taking during lunch time during a photography workshop. Guess what they were waiting for? McDonalds. Yup, it’s true. lol.

The red-head is Kahli on the cover of BANE, and the brunette is Ivy on the cover of DEMON KISSED.

This is before they learned how to pose all kick-assery. lol.

Just thought I’d share!  It’s so funny to see how much stuff has changed over a few years. Pst! Both these books are on sale for 99 cents. If you haven’t grabbed them yet, go do it!

Hope you have a great weekend!

COVER REVEAL! RIPTIDE (The Secret Life of Trystan Scott #3) by H.M. Ward

Cover reveal for THE SECRET LIFE OF TRYSTAN SCOTT #3! The title is RIPTIDE and here is the cover. Ooooooh!  Aaaaaaah!

I LOVE writing about Trystan and Mari. There’s just something about them that makes them seem super-real to me. This series is YA Romance. Do you like YA Romance? If you liked the relationship with Collin and Ivy in DEMON KISSED, the answer is yes.  This is like that with all the tension, times 100. It’s like YA Romance crack, super addicting.

A lot of people are asking me how many books there are going to be in this series, and my honest answer is that I have no clue. I have a clear story line in my head, and the volumes will progress until I reach that point.  I am working to make sure each volume is also out in mass paperback as well.  The paperbacks for the 1st two are already up on Amazon and are available worldwide.

If you haven’t read these yet, go grab them!

COLLIDE (THE SECRET LIFE OF TRYSTAN SCOTT #1):

         

RIPTIDE: THE SECRET LIFE OF TRYSTAN SCOTT #3 will be released in Nov. 2012. Want to get a reminder via email so you don’t miss it? Text AWESOMEBOOKS to 22828 or click here. Hope you had a great weekend!

New Description for SCANDALOUS by Ella Steele HM Ward

So, the first description kind of sucked. I swear, it’s harder to write a good short description than it is to write the book. Anyway, here’s the redo. Hopefully it feels more like SCANDALOUS. Remember, this is for mature readers, meaning it has hawt steamy steam going on under that pretty cover.

NEW DESCRIPTION:

“I see it, Jack. Your muse is back. The thing that gave you passion, tormented you, and haunted you is back. You’re reeling in ecstasy and dread. It’s something you want, but can’t ever have. And the one that brings the pain is pure, white as snow… and standing in front of you.”

One kiss could have changed Abby’s life, but when it didn’t happen, she ran. Jack was everything to her and when he didn’t respond, Abby couldn’t bear it. Everything about that night–leaning in close to his face, feeling the night breeze teasing her hair, the way his scent filled her head—was burned vividly into her mind, including the moment when Jack pulled away. There was no kiss. Abby was wrong. She was wrong about him, wrong about them.

Maybe she didn’t have to go to college two thousand miles away, but she did. She had to forget about him. Abby threw herself off the grid, disappearing completely from the life she knew.  After completing her undergraduate degree, she enrolled in seminary. All contact with her old life was severed and she never looked back, until she was forced to.

When Abby puts idealism into practice, her congregation throws her out. If she can survive a year on her own, they’ll take her back, and continue to pay off her student loans—but if she fails, Abby is on her own with enough debt to fund a small town. Seminary wasn’t cheap. With no place left to go, Abby returns to New York and her best friend takes her in.

Desperate to make it on her own and prove she was right, Abby follows a job lead to an art studio on Long Island. It isn’t until she hears Jack’s voice that she freezes. The hairs on the back of her neck prickle as she turns to see Jack, ten years later, looking even more tempting than before.

Fate is cruel. Abby left this life behind, but she’s thrown back into it, head first. It’s like someone hit rewind on her life and its ten years earlier. She’s the cotton-mouthed girl that she always was around Jack, and now her future relies on the man who rejected her.”

SCANDALOUS is on sale now at these retailers:

         

This book has such amazing reviews. It really chokes me up. People ask what made me write SCANDALOUS, because it’s so different than my other books. It’s pretty simple really, this simple question prompted it: What would have my life been like if that kiss never connected? Can one kiss change your life?

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!
