New Book Announcement

Yesterday I posted a tweet that I would be making an announcement about another possible upcoming book release for later this year. However, I don't want to go getting too far ahead of myself since I AM still in all the workings of ACROSS THE STARS AND ASHES (The Guardians of the Night #3) and that title is on a definite deadline as of right now.

With that being said, there is a (very) tentative release date for a new title:

CHASING DIRT ROADS

Expected December 17, 2013 (if it doesn't make that release date, a definitive release of late winter 2014 will be set in place)

What is this title?

CHASING DIRT ROADS is a Contemporary, Romance/NA.

 

When Kenley Brooks moved to Lovely Heights, Mississippi, she didn't expect much. It was just another move added to her list of countless others. Tired of running and tired of taking care of her alcoholic mother, Kenley just wants to start her new life at eighteen. She wants to become the photographer she dreams of being and settle down in a permanent residence without any fear. But already she's feeling stifled by the tiny southern town her mom has moved them to...until she meets Cooper Reed.

(There are mature themes and language, and *some* sexually graphic scenes--though not to be seen as romantic during these instances--involving flashbacks. This title does not focus on sex despite the NA category and would probably be safe to read for ages 16+ depending on the reader.)

I've been working on this manuscript for over a year now between others, and I'm excited to share it. It's actually outside of my normal writing area, but I've had a lot of fun with it, and a long back-story that I won't get into that involves a lot of the plotting to it. Anyways, I hope you enjoy when it comes around. :)

Thanks so much, everyone!


With Love,
Pixie

And the title of book three is...

First off, I want to thank everyone for the continued support and encouragement during the past year. I know I'm not some amazing potential best-seller or anything like that--but I love writing and will always continue doing what I love. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for everything. You all have helped me grow and learn.

With that, I'm happy to announce the expected release date for the final installment of the last book of The Guardians of the Night trilogy and the title!


*drumroll*

ACROSS THE STARS AND ASHES

 

Expected Release: October 22, 2013

Book Two--- Now Available!

Amazon released just a tad earlier than I expected. Normally, I have to wait a period of time once I press that button (somewhere around 3-4 days) and instead they went all Speedy on me and was done in less than twelve hours. Ha! That's alright, though. :)

So, without further ado:

Through These Wicked Nights, book two of The Guardians of the Night trilogy, is now available!

Unfortunately, for the time being, it's only available through Amazon. Nook will come later when the exclusivity is up. Sorry Nook people. I had to go through the same thing last year with the first book. Luckily, it won't take as long this time around.

Also, I'm here to announce some special offers!

For Sunday and Monday, you can get Through These Wicked Nights absolutely free! Haven't read/Don't have the first book? Darkness Comes This Way is a fixed low price of only $0.99. So, you can technically get two books for just $0.99. Not a bad deal, right?


Are you a book blogger?!

If you're a book blogger interested at all in reading and reviewing The Guardians of the Night for your blog, Amazon, and Goodreads, I will always provide free e-copies to you in PDF, Mobi, or ePub (ePub is only available for Darkness Comes This Way at the moment). I love bloggers, since I'm one myself, and appreciate all the hard work they put into everything.

So, if you're a book blogger and you're interested, don't hesitate to contact me at miss.pixie08@gmail.com

Also-- understand there's absolutely no obligation for a positive review when you receive a copy. I'm happy with any review I get, even the negatives. REALLY. <3

Thank you everyone for the continued support and don't forget about the free promotion Sunday and Monday for Through These Wicked Nights!


More announcements coming soon!


With Love,
Pixie

Nook Book!

I've had so many requests these past few months to get Darkness Comes This Way available for Nook. And it was difficult for some time because I had to wait until my exclusive contract with Amazon was up and I could make it available for other e-retailers. That took a bit longer than expected, but I'm happy to announce that it's finally officially available for Nook! *streamers and confetti*



See it at Barnes & Noble for Nook










Thank you for the patience--and a big thank you for the continued support!

Some Updates & Announcements

Well, it's been some time since I've blogged here I know. I do most of my blogging over at my actual book blog, and like I've said before, I try to keep all of my things organized and separate. I haven't really had anything to say here as of recently so it's been on the quiet side. Haha.

But now I do have some updates to give.

First, if you head over to the Through These Wicked Nights GR page, you'll notice a different cover than before. There's been some changes there due to some minor conflicts and so I'm announcing a new cover--and as far as I can tell, this is officially the final cover that will be going on the published editions come January. Hope you like it!

Another quick thing I wanted to note is that I'm going to have ARC e-copies of TTWN very soon (and when I say soon, I mean within the next few days). Oooohhh....exciting! I will be interested soon in any readers perhaps, that have read/reviewed the first book, and would like a chance to get one of these ARC e-books in exchange for an early review.

With that out of the way, I have my last and final announcement. It's a little harder to get into this one. I've decided after thinking a long time that after The Guardians of the Night finishes publishing next year with its final installment, I will not be publishing anymore. Well, not self-publishing. The thing is, and this is of course no offense to my fellow indie and self-pub authors, I'd never wanted to self-pub in the first place. I decided to in the end to gain experience, learn new things, and build myself as well. I'm not perfect and I realize that. I've worked a lot through the last few years, and in the last year alone after self-publishing my first book, I feel like I've grown more than I would have if I'd just sat around doing much of nothing.

However, after this trilogy is over, I've decided to take a step back away from it and try my hand at a more traditional route again like I'd once really wanted. I have two new manuscripts being worked on outside of the trilogy--both stand-alones. One is a New Adult Contemporary and the other a YA Dystopian Horror.

It's always about the love of writing first and foremost for me. I'm not in a rush on time. I don't have to have my books on shelves everywhere or be some big bestseller by the time I reach a certain age--or ever for that matter. I just want to share my words and characters and someone to enjoy them somewhere. That's all. But after the trilogy is over, I'm going to go try the slow way for awhile and see how that goes. Who knows? And if it doesn't work out after so many years, at least I've had some experience in self-publishing and I can go back to that one day.

Cover Reveal!

First, I want to thank the group of wonderful bloggers for participating in the cover reveal. You're all so awesome for taking part and I appreciate it so much! ^^

I also want to give a big shout-out to Taylor at Thoughts of an Endless Dreamer. If you didn't know, she's the cover designer and I think she did a fantastic job!

Credits also go to model Lynn West and photographer Julia Starr at Night Fate Photography for the permissions and awesome photo!

Without further ado, check out the cover for book two in The Guardians of the Night trilogy, Through These Wicked Nights:

The world isn’t the same anymore. Not since humans discovered vampires are real. Zarah and her new team of Guardians barely escaped and are in hiding. What once was her job of protecting them, now she is stuck cowering away as a new threat emerges from the humans: Hunters. War is approaching. To add to her list of growing problems, a group of Fallen have been living in The Compound. Seth is one she can't seem to resist. He teaches her a lot about the side of her she's never known about until recently. Draven has grown cold and distant again since the battle with Nathanial, and she is left feeling conflicted. These are the least of her worries though. Something else is up. A video is discovered with a shocking revelation, and Zarah has a feeling things are about to go haywire.

Everything is crashing down around her. If she doesn't do something soon, they all will suffer the consequences. Even if it means destroying her beliefs and extinguishing what little compassion she has left. --Goodreads

Another quick announcement I'd like to make: September 7th until September 8th, if you're interested, you can get the first book, Darkness Comes This Way, for free on Amazon. It's my own way of celebrating both the cover reveal of book two and my birthday with everyone. Hope you enjoy!

Have a fantastic rest of the week, everyone!

With Love,
