Read the Magic, Wear the Magic: The #RiteToReign Authors T-Shirt Sale!

2018-10-21T16:51:00.001-04:00

I have a confession to make: I am a sucker for collectible t-shirts.

It started when I bought my first concert shirt. I was 15 and went to see Guns N Roses open for Aerosmith on their Permanent Vacation tour. When I saw the shirt back with the cities listing the venues, and saw *my show* listed, I knew I'd keep it forever. Today, I have two big totes full of concert tees and other commemorative shirts in the closet. (And, when I went to see GNR last year, 29 years TO THE MONTH of my first concert, you know I dug out the same shirt I'd worn to the first show. That's how serious I am about t-shirts!)

That's why my author group is holding a t-shirt drive to earn ad money for our upcoming boxed set. I'm not the only one who uses their closet space as a scrapbook :)

The Rite To Reign T-Shirt Drive

We are trying so hard to hit the 7000 mark in book sales to be in the running for the USA Today Bestseller list. At 99c a copy, you'd think it would be a piece of cake...but the trouble lies in reaching new eyes and ears to tell about our book release. The only way to reach those new readers lies in advertising...on places like Facebook, BookBub, Amazon, and various promotional websites.

When you buy a Witch, Please tee, not only will you get a fun, snarky t-shirt--you'll also help us afford to purchase more ads. (Not to mention, you'll be promoting us every time you step out in this cute tee!) All proceeds go to the ad fund.

Why are we doing a t-shirt drive?

Making a national bestsellers list is the dream shared by every author when they release their book. Big-name authors who are published by big-name publishers often have little difficulty doing just that. That's because they have built-in audiences and huge platforms including TV spots, in-store hype-up, and all the marketing power a big-name publisher possesses.

For the indie author, who lacks all the power and resources of a big-name anything, achieving this dream can seem like an impossibility.

The Rite to Reign authors are using the power of collective work to try and break through the indie ceiling. They've joined forces to compile a collection of 24 urban fantasy and paranormal romance novels with a wickedly fun theme...royal witches! Now, these authors are joining hands and using every spell up their sleeve to make magic happen...

Now, these authors call upon the most powerful people of all...readers! We need readers who love magical stories and we need readers who love magical threads. While we are fresh out of invisibility cloaks and wizard robes, we have the next best thing: sassy witch T-shirts that are fun to look at and comfortable to wear.

What do the shirts look like?

Here's what the shirt looks like...it's a v neck black tee with front and back printing.

Each shirt is 25$ plus shipping.

All proceeds go towards on-line advertising of

RITE TO REIGN: Urban Fantasy Limited Edition Boxed Set

Who would wear one of the shirts?

1) readers

2) writers

3) family

Think there's nothing worse than becoming like your mother? Try being possessed by her spirit. #TakinItBack by @ashkrafton

2018-08-22T08:21:00.000-04:00

USA Today Bestselling Author Ash Krafton is bringing a new twist to the old swish-and-flick...magic is all in the way you cast it in TAKIN' IT BACK, her newest urban fantasy novel!

Think there's nothing worse than becoming like your mother? Try being possessed by her spirit.

Twenty-year-old Aerie hates running collateral recovery for her father’s magical supply shop. Repossession is a nasty business, even when you’re good at it. Her dream job? The store’s new Acquisitioner…but Pop says that job’s for someone who finds things, not loses them. When a mysterious amulet must be found, Aerie sees an opportunity to prove her worth to him.

That’s when a spirit trapped inside the amulet possesses her, instead. Demonic powers are handy on a door-knock or when facing down one’s nemesis, but mages can’t use the demonic ley without becoming tainted. Worse yet, the spirit may be Aerie's difficult, dead-beat, long-gone mother.

The possession will destroy Aerie if she doesn’t get the amulet off—but the only person who can do that is the guy she repo’d it from. Mr. Probable Ulterior Motive says if she finds some crummy old book she’d lost years ago, she may discover the spirit’s true identity and prevent its damnation. Aerie must entrust her fate to a complete stranger or let the demon get what it wants—and it wants Pop dead.

Gonna be one Hell of a family reunion.

Lara Croft meets "The Magicians" in this tale of magic, adventure, and hidden truths...

Hear ye, hear ye! #Audiobook collection of my #Demimonde trilogy is complete!

2018-04-17T16:32:00.001-04:00

Are you an audiobook fan? Keep reading to see how to get copies of my urban fantasy trilogy through Audiobook Boom!

Narrator Kelly Pruner and I are celebrating the completion of the Demimonde in audiobook format!

WOLF’S BANE joins BLEEDING HEARTS and BLOOD RUSH in this series about an advice columnist-turned-oracle who must save her Demivampire lover from the fate that threatens each of his race: evolution and the destruction of his soul.

Like tall, dark, and brooding heroes? Like bad vampires and rock-star werewolves? Like supernatural problems and watching a snarky, good-hearted heroine trying to muddle her way through the messes those problems fling at her?

The Demimonde series is a set of emotional, exciting, addicting reads now available on audio book…so I get to listen to WOLF’S BANE whenever I’m in the car because I LOVE THAT STORY. It’s why I wrote it 😊

To help launch the set, I’m looking for reliable audiobook reviewers to help give these titles some legs. You can sign up to receive a copy of the first book, BLEEDING HEARTS through this promo link HERE (and scroll waaaaaaay down...)

Listeners who review this book and want to hear more are also eligible to receive free promotional copies of the second and third books in the series. That way, you too can listen to WOLF'S BANE whenever you're in the car because I REALLY LOVE THAT STORY!

This promo is open to both US and UK audiobook readers. The number of copies is limited so if you’re interested in urban fantasy audiobooks, don’t delay!

If you’ve read and enjoyed the books, I’d love it if you gave the audio versions a try. Kelly becomes my Sophie *hearts* so let her become yours, too.

HEROINES & HELLIONS: Author Ash Krafton!

2017-12-01T10:28:00.000-05:00

Wrapping up our series of HEROINES & HELLIONS author spotlights, I thought I'd take my own shot at answering the all-important question: Who is the most badass woman I know?

I'll also give you a peek at my book, TAKIN' IT BACK, which will appear in the HH boxed set. Hope you enjoy!

I'm a rocker at heart so I'm totally going to say Cristina Scabbia of the gothic metal band Lacuna Coil. She's wicked beautiful and absolutely fierce on stage. If she can fight the way she can sing, she'd be the gal I'll stand behind.

Now, if I have to pick someone I actually know, then it's my daughter. The newly-minted college freshman is absolutely kick-ass without even trying. When she was in grade school, we nick-named her "Enyo" and wow, did she live up to the name. :)

She's trained in mixed martial arts, loves weaponry (she got a collapsible baton for her 17th birthday and came home from Europe with a knife collection. The rest of us got t-shirts), and can handle herself in the front stage crowd of a raucous concert.

Through it all, she deals with the challenges of having bipolar II disorder. The overwhelming mood swings often threaten to derail her plans and ambitions but she manages to conquer and persevere. She puts her passion into social justice and the protection of those who can't protect themselves. She never lets her symptoms make bad choices for her and she doesn't let her chemistry beat her down.

I admire her strength and her beauty and her ability to use her super powers for good, not destruction--and that's a kick-ass heroine anymore can admire.

USA Today bestselling author Ash Krafton writes urban fantasy for upper-YA+ audiences. At the moment, she's working on snagging another stint as the Ultimate Sinner on SiriusXM Radio's "Ozzy's Boneyard". Find out more at ashkrafton.com.

Takin' It Back

Twenty-year-old Aerie works for her father's magical supply shop, but itís a job she hates: sheís the repo man. Sheíd much rather be the storeís new Aquisitioner but Dad says itís a job for someone who finds things, not loses them. Totally unfair, since the only thing she ever really lost was some crummy old book when she was a kid. Even more unfair is that heís considering her worst enemy for the job. When she finds a file on a mysterious amulet, she sees the perfect opportunity to prove her worth to her dadóand takes off after it.

Collateral recovery is a nasty business. What makes repossession even nastier is when the collateral possesses you. Sure, demonic possession comes in handy when getting out of speeding tickets or facing off with oneís nemesis, but no one flirts with damnation without being tainted. And if that doesn't suck enough, it turns out the spirit in the amulet belongs to your mother. Your nagging, dissatisfied, know-it-all, thank-God-sheís-gone mother.

And wait, it gets better. She wants your father--the only family you have left--dead.

There's gonna be one Hell of a family reunion.

So...kick back and kick it with us. Hello, Maria Monroe!

So, saying that a nun is "badass" might seem strange or even irreverent. But one of the women I consider really badass is Mother Teresa. While she didn't run around with a bow and arrow taking down vicious criminals, she was hard core in a different way. To dedicate one's entire life to other people, to literally and physically picking them up off the street and helping them, is so different from what most people do that it is a form of rebelliousness. A beautiful, gritty, painful, glorious existence. And that? That's really badass.

So...kick back and kick it with us. Hello, Heather Marie Adkins!

My mother. She was a police officer all my life - so you're talking 30 years in a male-dominated career. And she excelled at it. She spent the last seven years of her career as a Major - the highest rank you can reach without being elected into position. She's used her weapon in the line of duty. She's been injured so many times I've lost count. Then, three years ago, her husband (my stepfather of 15 years) committed suicide, and she survived. No other person in my life has the strength and fortitude to match the woman who raised me. I'm infinitely proud to call her my mother. She retired just a couple weeks ago. I hope her next adventure is just as great as the first.

HEATHER MARIE ADKINS writes too much but still too little. She also has too many cats, not enough tequila, and a torrid love affair with procrastination. She is the USA Today bestselling author of over twenty novels. Find out more at heathermarieadkins.com.

Demons Are a Girl's Best Friend

Hell has spilled over into the real world. But thatís okay. Nobody's dead. Yet.

An uneasy truce has been found: Demons donít screw the world up; humans don't kill them. Itís a pretty simple set-up, kept in check by the immigration and selection process.

Kahri O'Reilly has a nice, quiet life teaching martial arts by day and sleeping with her cat by night, until a 200-year old demigod sexier-than-sin shows up to drag her to hell. Turns out, Kahri's polite, cross-stitch obsessed mother is actually a demon who married the wrong man and fled to earth the minute the portals began to open. She just neglected to share that with Kahri.

Below the unknowing surface world, civil war is brewing. Kahri's dad is dead, and blood bonds dictate she has to take his place. Only, the legacy he left her is a bloody one. His problems-and his enemies-have suddenly become hers, and she has no idea what she's doing.

Kahri is poised between the worlds, the perfect ambassador to prevent the apocalypse-as long as she doesn't die first.

I love the determination and the fight my mother gives in the face of her health and I would kill to be like her.

A character from my favorite urban fantasy series, the Dresden Files by Jim Butcher. Her name is Karrin Murphy, a Chicago cop in the department that deals with anything weird. She's five feet tall (which I automatically love because I'm short too), wins awards for her martial arts skills, and isn't afraid to go up against anything -- werewolves, demons, you name it. She's tough enough to stand up to the main character, a powerful wizard, when she thinks he's wrong, and strong enough to put herself back together after some awful things happen to her.

October Frights Annual Blog Hop!

2017-10-10T02:00:00.000-04:00

Ever since I was a kid, I got a really weird kick out of scaring myself silly.

It started long before I discovered Stephen King (that didn't happen until sixth grade). I was a relentless pursuer of the Bloody Mary legend at day camp--when I was eight years old. To this day, I still can't look into a mirror in a dark room.

In high school, I'd sit in my perfectly peaceful bedroom late at night, imagining all the horrific things that weren't but possibly could be hiding in the shadows downstairs...then have to work up the nerve to go down to the bathroom, all the while straining to hear the things that weren't there (but quite possibly could have been). And then I'd run from them.

On family vacations, I'd drag the husband along on ghost tours--and then go back to the hotel, disappointed that no one ended up possessed. Fifteen dollar for a few stories and the chance to fool around with a K2 meter used to seem like a legit spend of money.

Now, if I don't capture compelling EVPs or end up with demon scratches on my leg, I'm bummed, and I keep the rest of the family up saying things like, "Now, what *would* have been cool is if we got chased by a vengeful spirit and had to run for our lives." Everyone else would put in earplugs and go to sleep, and I'd start to worry I ended up with a spirit attachment who was just biding its time before it made my life a living hell.

King. Poe. Kruger. Halloween. Ghost hunting. Thrill rides. Disturbing movies. Haunted houses. Scary books. All of these glorious things fed an over-active imagination and resulted in a kid who was convinced she really ought to be afraid of the dark.

Ought to be afraid. Never quite made it, but I'm trying.

In fact, I keep digging and prying into the shadows, waiting for the big payoff. It'll come one day, I'm sure, and I will totally lose my poo.

Until then...I run, hoping something will chase.

Giveaway:

Comment below and tell me: what's your favorite way to be scared? I'm looking for new ways to scare myself silly, so tell me what sends you into an adrenaline coma. One commenter will win Frights (a black cat Beanie Boo) and a signed copy of M is for Monster, an A to Z collection of things that belong in the dark.

Nobody's Hero

First rule of surviving the Wastelands: don't get caught outside after the sun sets...

After her father was killed in a warg attack, Riley Kincaid was forced to stand on her own two feet in the brutal Wastelands she calls home. She knows how to survive, but when a lapse in judgment leaves her out after dark, Riley realizes she's in trouble. The sun has set, the monsters are out to play, and there's a band of reivers heading straight for her settlement. Riley needs to warn her people, but that's before she runs a handsome stranger down in her jeep. A stranger who might not be a man after all...

Kidnapping her was the worst mistake he ever made.

Dangerous outlaw, Lucius Wade, lives only for revenge. But when he kidnaps Riley in order to lure an old friend into a trap, suddenly the tables are turned. Riley has no intentions of being bait, and she tempts him in ways he hasn't felt for a long time. He's never played the hero, but suddenly a part of him wants to.

When dangerous secrets are revealed, and Luc realizes an old enemy is on his trail, he's forced to change his plans. The hunter is suddenly the hunted, and the only allies he has... is a stubborn blonde who thinks there should be more to live for than revenge, and the ex-friend who shoved a knife in his back ten years ago.

Imagine a world that is fueled by girl power. Strong women. Unbreakable heroines. Fierce femininity.

Now, imagine 22 worlds, just like that. That's what you'll see in the HEROINES & HELLIONS urban fantasy boxed set.

To kick off the prelaunch of HEROINES & HELLIONS, we wanted to show you the badass writers behind the set. Over the next few weeks, we will be introducing each of the HEROINES authors and asking them: Who is the biggest badass woman you know?

So...kick back and kick it with us. Hello, Alex Owens!

I think in some form or fashion, ALL women have the capacity bad-asses. We get up every day and show up, looking that fickle witch called Life straight in the eyes, unblinking. We wear our hearts on our sleeves, even after it's been shattered time and time again. But that doesn't stop us - we love and nurture and wear everyone else's hurts and sorrows upon our own souls like a cloak.

We're fiercely loyal, to a fault, not caring about the toll on ourselves. We'll give and give every part of ourselves, often pouring from an empty cup. And we won't stop. Ever. No matter what.

We relinquish control over our own bodies for nine months to an alien invader, then enjoy the feeling of a tiny T-rex rip outwards to freedom. A few hours later, we'd do it all again. Why? Because we are tough, we are brave, we are resilient. We're all bad-asses, don't you see?

USA Today bestselling author Alex Owens lives in coastal Virginia with her family, a cranky horse, seven cats and a bull-headed chocolate Lab. She exists solely on caffeine, books and cuss words-- but not always in that order. Find out more at authoralexowens.com.

Trick of Shadows

When I was eleven, I killed my nanny with one blast of magic to the chest. I'd been trying to save her, not that it matters. She's still dead and I still did it.

That guilt drives me to eliminate wicked wizards, track werewolves through snowstorms (while freezing my coconuts off) and stomping through graveyards, blessed sword in one hand and a fifth of Fireball in the other, doing my own version of zombie whack-a-mole. It's why I'll hunt the monsters and why they'll fear the hell out of me, because I've got nothing to lose and everything to atone for.

But a girl's got to start somewhere and my first job isn't exactly off to a blazing start. I've already lost the thing I was sent to retrieve, there's a nerdy-hot guy who's all up in my business, and my fanged employer is threatening to call my vampire Mother if I don't get my act together and finish the job. Atonement sucks harder than my Mom.

IT'S OFFICIAL!!!

My newest novel TAKIN' IT BACK will be released in the Heroines & Hellions Boxed set in March 2018!!! Here's a peep at the cover...

TAKIN' IT BACK

by Ash Krafton

Think there's nothing worse than becoming like your mother?
Try being possessed by her spirit.

Twenty-year-old Aerie hates running collateral recovery for her father’s magical supply shop. Repossession is a nasty business, even when you’re good at it. She’d rather be the store’s new Acquisitioner but Pop says that job’s for someone who finds things, not loses them. When a mysterious amulet must be found, Aerie sees an opportunity to prove her worth to him.

That’s when a spirit trapped inside the amulet possesses her, instead. Demonic powers are handy on a door-knock or when facing down one’s nemesis, but mages can’t use the demonic ley without becoming tainted. Worse yet, the spirit may be Aerie's difficult, dead-beat, long-gone mother.

The possession will destroy Aerie if she doesn’t get the amulet off—but the only person who can do that is the guy she repo’d it from. Mr. Probable Ulterior Motive believes if she finds some crummy old book she’d lost years ago, she may discover the spirit’s true identity and prevent its damnation. Aerie must entrust her fate to a complete stranger or let the demon get what it wants—and it wants Pop dead.

Gonna be one Hell of a family reunion...

Summer vacation? Me? Bah.

2017-06-08T11:46:00.003-04:00

Last month, my husband and I had a conversation regarding my recent workload. I'd just helped to launch the SPELLBOUND boxed set after five long months of intense effort.

"Think you're ready for a break?" he asked.

"Sure am!" was my immediate reply. And really, I was ready for a break. Any working writer--heck, any working anyone--will agree that all work and no play (no sleep/no rest) makes for a cranky kid.

So no one was more surprised than I was when I said..."Surprise! I'm not taking a break."

In fact, I'm taking the opposite of a break. I decided that it would be a good idea if I got back to work on releasing ANOTHER BOXED SET.

With a book I haven't written yet.

So...all the same work plus create a novel before mid-October.

Am I crazy? It's a possibility. But my crazy has always been what I like most about myself. My crazy brought about every other book I'd released. So, crazy isn't a bad thing, necessarily.

Am I driven? You bet! I've been percolating this story for YEARS. It's opening pages won a first place prize in a novel writing contest first in 2009, then again in 2012 (when it was judged by Hank Phillippi Ryan herself!) I pulled it out and got its bones lined up a few years ago at a Modern Baseball concert (because apparently I thought pop punk and writing went well together). I've loved this story for a long time. I can't wait to finally meet it!

Am I setting a lofty goal? Heck YES. This is, by far, the biggest challenge I've ever given myself. I usually spend a year or more on a book (which is why I usually have more than one project going at all times.) With this project, I have to put aside the novel I was working on as well as an accompanying shortish story, both in The Demon Whisperer series, to focus solely on TAKIN' IT BACK. I've never had a one-track mind.

Am I scared? A little, but in a good way. I can't fail. Contract signed. Twenty other authors counting on me to do my share, and a few who already know I can bust my hump to do my share well.

So, I guess a question...are you with me?

I hope you are. :) Send me your good thoughts and supportive karma because...vacation's over. The Summer Writing Challenge has begun.

PS Any writer who are interested in doing Twitter-based writing sprints, hmu at @Ashkrafton. I remember the summer a group of us did #fastdraft and can really use the team support again!

Come Hell or High Heels...New Release in The Demon Whisperer Series

2017-05-21T16:35:00.000-04:00

Simon Alliant will find his abducted partner, come Hell or high heels. He just doesn't realize he's in for a bit of both. The newest book in The Demon Whisperer series and follow-up to CHARM CITY...

MURDER THE LIGHT (The Demon Whisperer #2)

Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned-especially the woman scorned by the King of Hell himself.

Chiara has been abducted by her own mother: an Enochian defector who has taken up arms against the Light. Luminea will use Chiara to ensure the future of her empire and to burn away her painful past with the man who'd stolen everything from her, so long ago.

Unknowingly, that's exactly the guy to who Simon turns for help. He makes the ultimate deal with Chiara's father to get her back...but he'll have the Devil to pay.
