ECHO in Stores Tomorrow, Tues., Nov. 13!!!

Hi everyone,

The release of ECHO is almost here and I'm SO excited to share this book with you! 

She inherited a magical destiny—and a mission to stop a powerful family of dark sorcerers. She never expected to fall in love with one of them.

 

There's still so much Daire Santos has to learn about being the last Soul Seeker....and about herself. As her magical training becomes more intense, so does her relationship with Dace. But when she learns that his connection to the evil Richter family goes far deeper than she ever imagined, she begins to question if love really can conquer all. 

Dace is painfully aware that he wouldn't exist if it wasn't for the Richters' dark magic—and now his brother Cade is determined to use his love for Daire against him. Dace is willing to sacrifice anything to protect the girl he loves—including his own life. But will Daire allow it? And what if defeating Cade costs not only his life, but his soul too?

In case you haven't seen it yet, here's a glimpse at the next installment in the SOUL SEEKERS series...




Read an excerpt from ECHO HERE.

The reviews for ECHO are starting to come in and I'm happy to share that Night Owl Reviews gave it 4.5 stars and named it a Top Pick!

"Daire and her boyfriend Dace are back to restore the balance of good and evil after saving her grandmother and her soul. Dace is deliciously yummy, and if I say so myself, so is his evil brother Cade. It's a bit more  fast paced than Fated was, and it's setting up the series to have longevity. If only it wasn't so long again until the next installment!" 

ECHO will be available in paperback, hardcover, e-reader, and audiobook tomorrow! Check out www.soulseekersseries.com for all the latest details and a complete list of retailers!  

I had such a blast writing this book and I hope you enjoy reading it! 

More news coming soon!

A Special Announcement About ECHO!!

In just one week from today, book 2 in THE SOUL SEEKERSseries, ECHO, will be in stores, and I couldn’t be more excited!

Partly because it’s always exciting when a new book is dropped into the world, but mostly because this time around we’re giving you choices!

That’s right—choices!

Which means, right from the start, you get to choose your preferred reading format.

No longer will you have to wait an entire year for the paperback version, because we’ve decided to release it the same day as the hardcover, e-reader, and audio versions!

Oh, and just to sweeten the pot, we’ve also decided to release the FATED trade paperback version on the same day as well!

It’s like having 5 books dropped into the world simultaneously!

Or at least 5 versions, anyway.

You can pre-order the books in your preferred format, here, here, here  and here! Visit www.soulseekersseries.com for a complete list of retailers.

Or, if you prefer to pick up your copy in an up close and personal way, and your preferred format is not immediately available, simply ask the bookseller to order you a copy in the format of choice.

Yep, it’s truly that easy!

I really hope you’ll enjoy reading ECHO (in the format of your choice!) as much as I  enjoyed writing it!

Get to Know Me & Win Cool Prizes!

Hey everyone,

Join in the fun and learn more about me and my books and you could win cool prizes!

Each week I'll be running a quiz on Facebook and Twitter--and anyone who participates and answers any of the questions correctly will be eligible to win a signed book.

·     Each month I'll be posting some fun trivia about me or my books. If you collect at least four pieces of this information throughout the month and send it to me in a message on my SOUL SEEKERS Facebook Page HERE, you’ll be eligible to win a grand prize—which could be a piece of jewelry or a tarot card reading. Check in each month to find out the prize!
Over the course of three months (October through December), if you collect at least 8 bits of trivia that I've posted, you’ll be eligible to win a Skype or phone chat for you and a few friends with me!
I'm getting really excited about the release of ECHO next month and to prepare for it I’m going to revisit FATED. During the next three weeks I’ll post some fun facts about the first SOUL SEEKERS novel as well as run a weekly quiz to spark some fun conversations about the novel and its characters. Hope you can join me to chat about the book! Those who participate will have the chance to win a signed copy of ECHO or a pair of feather earrings like the ones Daire is wearing on the cover of FATED.
Look for the first bit of trivia today! 

Peace. Joy. Love.
