Release Day is HERE!

It's always so exciting when a new book goes live. This one is no exception...I'm thrilled to be part of this indible collection of authors, sharing my latest paranormal romance, Of Royal Blood. It is beyond worth the 99 cent deal! But this set is especially exciting because Of Royal Blood is the second book series I've written that's being considered for a film/tv series!! I'll keep you posted on that one ;) But for now I'd be thrilled and honored if you'd grab a copy and let me know what you think. Click here: https://books2read.com/u/4AJgrJ

I sort of really love these covers. What do you think of them?

Here's the premise:

OF ROYAL BLOOD

Some rules are meant to be broken.

In a world where magik means death, Katriana Stark will risk everything to save her royal charge—even when it means revealing herself as a witch and losing the love of the forbidden prince.

As tutor to the princess, Kat’s place at court means she’s close to death every day—one misstep, one mistake, one magik mishap away from the wrath of the dark queen. And one unveiled look away from disclosing her feelings for Prince Ethan as well.

Kat’s not much better at hiding her magik than hiding her feelings. But when demonic forces strike the Royal Palace, and bodies start disappearing into thin air, Kat’s uncontrollable powers are all that can save the lives at stake.

And as Kat is forced to pay the ultimate price for her deception, she must decide if saving another’s life is worth sacrificing her own. And worth giving up a once in a lifetime love…

*****

OF ROYAL BLOOD Part One is included in the SOULS & SHADOWS limited edition boxset. And Part Two will be up for pre-order this week. And Part Three will release this fall. I cannot wait to hear your thoughts!

Now that all the technical stuff is out of the way, I’ll introduce the fabulous author I am hosting on this hunt... Katie French!

I am super excited to be hosting…

KATIE FRENCH

Katie French is an Amazon best-selling author in Young Adult dystopian romance. Her book, The Breeders, has had nearly 100,000 downloads and counting and was a semi-finalist in the 2014 Kindle Book Awards. Find out more at www.katiefrenchbooks.com.

ABOUT THE BOOK:

"Riley is one of the world's last free girls. When Riley was born, her mother escaped the Breeders, the group of doctors using cruel experiments to bolster the dwindling human race. Her parents do everything possible to keep her from their clutches, but the Breeders control everything.

And they're hunting Riley.

When the local Sheriff abducts the other members of her family, Riley and her brother Ethan are left to starve. Then Clay arrives, the handsome gunslinger who seems determined to make up for past sins. But Clay can't know she's female, or he might sell her to the very people she's trying to avoid.

As Riley's affection for Clay grows she wonders can she trust him with her secret? She's worth a lifetime's wages. How could anyone, even someone she's growing to love, give up an opportunity like that?"

____________________________________________________

BONUS MATERIAL!!!

Here's an exclusive a new chapter from her upcoming book, The Night Road!

The Night Road

A Breeders Universe Series

Katie French

CHAPTER ONE

Once, long ago, the world nearly died. Or, rather, the human race nearly died, snuffed out by the very innovations they were using to bolster it. Poisons infect the water and soil and then humans’ bodies. Female babies weren’t born, only males or gender-neutral people called benders. Women grew scarce. Men grew desperate.

So, a group of doctors was formed to try to bring back the female population. The Breeders were ruthless, collecting women like trinkets to use in their evil experiments. Freedom died. Women languished in tall, gilded cages while, outside, lawlessness reigned.

Then, our founders took the Breeders on and brought them to their knees. Riley and Clay, with others by their side, claimed Shiprock, our mountain fortress for their home. They fought off marauders, thieves, and thugs. They reclaimed the land and brought order back.

And, slowly, girls were born again. The Earth began to heal.

Four generations later, our town is thriving. Despite the desert heat and ruthless conditions. Despite the lack of water and technology. We keep it safe with the laws of the gunslinger’s creed.

The good guys have guns. And we know how to use them.

Which is where I come in. My name is Meg and I’m an apprentice gunslinger. Tonight, I keep watch while the city sleeps. And right now, I’ve found something pretty interesting creeping up our mountainside.

The intruder’s approach is easy to mark with my goggles, despite how dark the night is. There isn’t much movement on the walls, so any draws my attention and this fool is doing his climbing out in the open like he thinks we don’t pay attention. Fool.

He must think everyone is inside, getting ready for bed. And most are. Behind me, candlelight and gas lamps begin to flicker to life, warming the carved stone landmass. Shiprock angles up out of the ground like an eagle’s wing, a beacon of hope and light in the otherwise barren wasteland. Sitting in the North West corner of what used to be called New Mexico, it’s one of the only cities for miles and miles. It’s also one of the only things you can spot from a far off distance, like a lighthouse in a sea of sand.

And it’s also a homing signal for any crazy bastard that wants to take advantage of what we have.

But most people around know about our security force. They know we’re the best trained, most supplied gunslingers in history. Only someone profoundly ignorant would try to sneak in.

And, lucky me, it seems I have one of those in my sights.

Heartbeat starting to flutter, I mark his progress as I check my weapon. As an apprentice, I have one gun, a boring silver revolver manufactured by our friends at Merrick Guns and Ammo. Our partnership with them is what allows us to defend what’s ours. Weapons, you see, are the world’s most sought after commodity. We get ours at a discount and the people at Merrick enjoy our livestock and free lodging at our secure facility for their shipments to other colonies.

At my hip, my gun is ready and loaded with their stock. Hopefully, it won’t come to that.

Gunslinger Rule #5 – Don’t shoot unless you damn well have to.

When he starts to scale the sheer rock wall, I gotta hand it to the guy. He’s got guts. A fall from that height will mean severe injury and death. The problem is we don’t allow unlawful entry, but we do have a process to enter legally. And if someone is deciding the illegal route is better than the legal one, their intentions are likely not healthy for our community.

I tuck my goggles into my jacket pocket and take off at a run to intercept him before he makes it to a ledge and disappears.

The spot where I perch for watch leads to a path of smooth stone, curving around the south side of the mountain. I take the path around, skimming past apartments that throw out delicious smells of cooked dinner and sounds of family gatherings. The apartments aren’t much, usually two rooms of stone, with hand-hewn furniture, cramped but clean. Chiseled out of rock, everything is the same hue of desert brown, but our architecture is what gives my home its charm. Some owners have chiseled sayings above their door. Some have painted archways or carved vines wrapping around windows. The artistry is something I should pay better attention to if I weren’t chasing down a criminal.

Through the tunnels and down the stairs, flickering with torchlight, I hike It across to the other side of the landform.

When I get to the other side, I’m out of breath, but invigorated. It’s been a long time since I’ve had a good chase. As I draw my pistol, pure excitement tingles down to my fingers. Then I drop low and slip quietly to the edge of the overhang.

The drop is sheer. At least a hundred feet down, the rocks below wait to claim anyone who gets too cocky. Luckily, we’re born up here and used to the heights, but my climbing friend is not. He clings to the rock’s face as the wind buffets him. Even in the moonlight, I can see the terror on his face as he realizes his arms are too tired to go up and too weak to go down. He’s stuck. Only gravity will help change his position now. And gravity is a bitch.

“How’s it hanging?” I call down, amusing myself with the joke.

He isn’t amused. He nearly falls off the ledge before spotting me above him. “Help! I’m about to fall.” His arms strain, fingers clinging to rock like his life depended on it.

I regard him, making no move to help. “I see you’re having trouble. It makes me wonder, what in the world were you thinking coming up that way, friend?”

“I… uh… I seek sanctuary.” His watery eyes plead with me.

“Oh, yeah, that,” I lean back on my elbow, examining my nails. “That only applies to fools who do not try to break in first. Any crime automatically negates sanctuary and breaking into my town at night is a crime, amigo.”

He grumbles, shifting as rocks clatter down the wall. “Please,” he begs. “I’m going to fall.”

“A fall is likely. Maybe you should’ve thought of that before climbing up.”

He groans.

But I’m not heartless. I pull the rope off of my belt, and, using the anchor screw set, I start to drill the bit into the rock. It chews in slowly, spiraling down deeper into soft rock. No way I’m just using my body and letting some fool pull me into the void.

“Hurry!” He shifts, arms trembling as more rocks cascade to the ground.

“Hey, guy, I’m doing my best, but really your mother should’ve taught you better manners than to rush someone who’s clearly doing her best.” I crank the handle of the screw, turning it slowly as it grinds downward. Finally, when it’s secure, I hook the carabiner through my rope loop and the anchor’s handle and give it a tug.

“Ready?” I call down, peering at him.

Terrified eyes stare up at me. Veins stand out on his neck as he holds on with his last ounce of strength. “Please.”

I toss the rope over. It pools on his shoulder before cascading down his back. One of his grimy hands grabs and clings.

“Tie it around yourself,” I say, hoping he knows how to knot rope. If not, heaven help him.

He lashes the rope around his waist with trembling fingers. When I give it a tug, he oomps, but the knot holds.

Then I spend an hour of my evening hauling his marauding ass up the mountain. Sweating, straining, I stop and wipe my brow. This is not exactly what I pictured security detail to be when I was a kid.

Hand over hand, I inch him upwards.

When he finally breaches the top and falls to his face on the ledge, we’re both sweaty and exhausted. He lies face down, panting.

“Ah, God. I thought I was done for.” He glances up at me, a crooked smile on his face. He’s thin and lean, with all appearances of a man just barely surviving on whatever they can scrounge up. And, from what I understand, it’s rough out there. Not that I’d know what it’s like outside of Shiprock. Not that anyone will let me find out.

“Next time try the front door,” I say, slowing my breathing down and letting the night air dry the sweat on my brow. I’d remove my hat, but then my hair is a dead giveaway. Most people assume I’m male in this job and I don’t really want to go tipping them off.

Even though females aren’t bought and sold anymore, they’re still considered the weaker sex which is so ridiculous. I’ve seen Kace, my brother-in-law cry more times than I can count and Shannon, my sister, has never once shed a tear. Weaker sex, my left butt cheek.

But when I lean back and my jacket falls open, his eyebrows raise. “A girl? Huh. Never woulda taken you for female.”

“Thanks,” I say dryly.

He sits up. “You know, you and me could scoot outta here. I got a car on the road a mile back. Real nice.”

I watch him carefully, noting the greedy gleam in his eyes. He doesn’t have a car. And he isn’t trying to be my friend. When he looks at me, he sees dollar signs. He’d have me hogtied, gagged, and shipped out to some sex slave farm in a hot second.

“Well, now, doesn’t that sound like a nice offer,” I respond dryly.

When his hand goes for his knife, I’m not surprised.

Springing up, I’ve pinned him with my boot before he can get the blade out of his pocket. I press down hard as his face grinds into the gravel. “And just when I thought you and me were getting along.”

“Gerroff,” he mumbles, struggling.

Dropping to my knees, I sit on him as I wrestle his arms behind his back and cuff them. The click of the metal handcuffs is satisfying.

“Ow,” he moans.

Yeah, I may have made the cuffs too tight. Sue me.

“Let’s go.” I haul him to his feet.

“You bitch.” He spits as I lead him to the stairs.

“The name’s Meg, buddy,” I say, tweaking his arm a little harder than I have to. “And be sure to tell your friends it was a bitch who saved your life.”

At Last, Some Book Release News!

noreply@blogger.com (Michele) — Thu, 22 Feb 2018 17:32:00 +0000

BOOK RELEASE NEWS

It's been a long year...and while my blog posts have been few and far between, my writing has kept me exceptionally busy. Between attending the Toronto International Film Festival again last fall, meeting with movie bigwigs, directors and producers, to discuss the Fire And Ice film...

...Plus releasing my first illustrated children's book (Fairy Wishes 1-2-3)

...AND the next installment of the Faerie Song Saga, (Melt) well let's just say it was a very hectic year.

But I'm very excited to announce that MELT is finally up for pre-order on Amazon. (Nook and Kobo fans, sit tight) You can grab a copy HERE. And to wet your appetite a little, here's a SNEAK PEEK at Chapter One:

BEFORE

I was there that day. The day the queen of Mythlandria died. I saw what my mother did to her, the poison she used to stain her heart. And I saw the way she manipulated the queen’s young son, Adrius Thanduir of the Elyssium Court, into swearing an oath to her. A boy only a few years older than I was at the time, sworn into an allegiance he couldn’t possibly have understood in the face of such grief.

I didn’t understand it myself. I only knew I hated and feared my mother for it. For making the small boy weep so silently. So uncontrollably. For days on end, until they found him sobbing half-frozen tears, cold and covered with snow, curled up next to his dead mother.

She was responsible. My mother. Queen of the Witches. Only she wasn’t queen, not really. We were not granted any such powers in their realm. In a realm that was governed by the Elves, Witches were considered too dangerous and unpredictable by those in power. They forced us to exist on a small parcel of barren land.

My mother took their meager offerings and created a dynasty. In time, I grew to understand the many reasons why she did what she did. The oppression we were forced to live under. The animosity between our lands. The violence it sparked time and time again. I’d heard it enough to regurgitate every sour word in my sleep. And yet, standing there, almost the same age as that poor little boy, all I could do was weep for him. For his broken heart. For his incredible loss. And for the life he had inadvertently, through no fault of his own, chained himself to.

Mother only slapped me once that day. The slap was for questioning her actions when she boasted about her feat to the others in the coven. If she’d known I’d been there, beyond the icy walls of Noctria, so far from the safety of our home, there would have been several more slaps. Followed by a season’s worth of punishment. I shudder to think what that might have entailed. But I was careful not to get caught. Always was.

I was cautious as a child. And I am even more so now that I’ve turned an age where love potions and wishing spells have suddenly become of interest. The first day I went into the woods alone to seek the boy was no different. I knew he hunted there. I’d been watching him for years. Ever since that day he lost his mother.

Bad description. He didn’t lose her, she was taken from him. My mother killed her. That was the truth, and truth was sorely lacking in my world.

****

This day I feel brave, and I step out of the shadows. After a few awkward exchanges, he stops looking away and holds my gaze, fixing his olive eyes on my emerald ones. His gaze flickers down to my lips, which are widening into a grin.

“Have I seen you before?”

I angle my head to get a better look at him. All tall, lean-muscled, dark-tousled hair of him. He is Elfkind, from Mythlandria. That much is evident by his clothing. And he is a very long way from home. These forests are well guarded by his people, but this far north isn't the sort of place someone of his stature should wander. I glance around. Alone, no less. Curiosity fills me as he bows his head.

“I’m sorry. I hope I didn’t frighten you.”

My smile stretches wider. “Frighten me?” Magic courses through my veins, and he is worried he'll frightened me. If only he knew so very little did anymore. I shake my head. “No, it’s fine. I just thought I was alone.” Well, that’s a lie.

“No one is ever truly alone in the wild. There are eyes everywhere. Even the trees will whisper your secrets if you tell them.”

“I'm not telling any. Not to you or the trees.”

He laughs. “Fair enough then. I am Adrius.” He clears his throat, looking uncomfortable for a moment before adding, “Prince Adrius.”

“A prince. Without his guards? This far from his home? Perhaps it is you who should be frightened.”

Another laugh. I am immediately struck by how incredible his laugh is. For hours that follow, I drown in his laughter and his gaze as we spend time together, talking and exploring the forest around us.

At the end of our time together, he says, “I would very much like to see you again, Isobel. Can I? Can I see you again?”

I twist a lock of hair around my finger and nibble my lip. This will not go over well with Mother. She hates the Elves. Detests everything they are. Just as Elves hate Witches. A relationship with this boy has no chance of survival.

Moments of silence tick by and I’m still unsure. Saying yes isn’t wise. And yet, as I untwine my finger from my hair and let it fall, I say, “I’ll meet you here tomorrow, at sunset.” The words fly out so quickly I have no time to reconsider them.

“Sunset,” he repeats, watching my lips.

I cannot help but purse them for effect. Adrius lowers his head to hide a smile. Turning, I walk calmly back toward my home. I can feel him watching me, and although it gives me a shiver, for the first time in a long time, I feel . . . warm.

It is in that very moment I fall in love with Adrius, Prince of Mythlandria.

****

Home alone, common sense washes over me. I shouldn’t have gone, not ever, but he fascinates me. Everything from the way his dark hair falls across his hazel eyes when he adjusts his arrow, to the flex of his arm muscles when he draws the arrow tight in the bow.

Those arrows would sail at light speed across the wind, striking their intended target with deathly precision. If only he’d honed that skill as a young boy. Perhaps . . . No. Those are not thoughts worth entertaining. I would not wish my mother’s life away to save his mother’s. I did not even know them. I don’t know any Elves. It has always been strictly forbidden. And I love my mother. In a way. She’s taught me everything I now know. Everything I now plan to use to get him to notice me.

Forbidden or not, there is something about him that won’t let me stay away. Every day, I sneak back into my room after sundown and vow it’s my last foray into his woods. And every day come sunrise, I trade that vow for just one more look. Just one more peek. Just one more chance.

I shake my head. Chance at what exactly? That he’ll notice me. Desire me? Court me? None of those are likely. Especially if he knew who I am. Who my mother is. He would want nothing to do with me at all, and who could blame him?

But those eyes. They saw so much and held such sadness and pain. I want to help him. I have to help him. And so, in my search for juniper berries for the love tonic, I stray down the long path that will lead me to his usual haunt.

Only when I arrive he isn’t there. No. The tall, swaggering being, cloaked all in black with long, flowing, shockingly silver hair, a steely gaze and angled cheekbones is not the boy I was seeking. He is something else entirely. Equally as handsome, but in a totally different way. In a dangerous way. He oozes something that makes my insides feel strange. Good strange.

I inch closer. A twig snaps, and I freeze.

He pauses, but doesn’t turn to look in my direction. Instead, he lifts his sword. Massively long and inscribed with all sorts of glowing markings, blue smoke swirls from the gleaming blade, and the air strangles in my lungs.

What to do? Turn and run? Try to hide? I have no chance to make a choice. His sword points toward where I’m crouched in the shrubs.

“I see you there, so you might as well come out,” he says.

His voice. Oh, that voice. Like the chill of ice water running down my spine.

I rise, slowly, still uncertain what this new being might or might not do.

“Hello,” I say, lifting my hands to show I’m not a threat, though I could become one if needed. He is the one armed to the hilt. All I carry are a few spells and incantations that would at best freeze him for a moment and buy me time to run away.

When he turns to face me directly, two massive, black-feathered wings open behind him. They flap twice and then fold behind him, disappearing from sight. As he stands watching me watch him, his silver hair darkens to nightshade.

I suck in a slow breath. Wow. A Shadow Faerie. He has to be. Only they lay claim to such wings and the ability to change their looks with powerful glamour.

He’s impressive. Dark and brooding in an entirely different way than Adrius is. Adrius’s aura is warm, buttery, and it makes me want to melt. This Faerie’s aura is cold, penetrating, turning my blood to ice in my veins.

He doesn’t answer me, but he does lower his sword. His cold eyes travel over me, beginning with my hair, sliding downward, and then slowly back up again. I want to hide, to shield myself from what feels like an invasion of my body and soul.

“And you are?” He speaks with a cool, slightly accented voice.

“Isobel,” I reply. But when his lips curl in a wicked half-grin, I regret it. Names are power to the Fey. Or so I’ve heard. It is difficult to even remember what I know of them, when he is standing there watching me with those eyes of stardust.

“Do you mind?” I finally say, partially shielding my eyes. “You’re being a little invasive, considering we don’t even know one another.”

His brows arch. He seems surprised. I suppose he’s not accustomed to being told what to do. They just do as they please. Must be nice, not to have to be accountable for your actions. I did not share that same luxury. Quite the opposite really. I was held accountable for every action, big or small, intended or not.

His smile grows as his full body scan eases off.

“Thank you,” I say, lowering my hand. “Are you going to tell me who you are, or am I meant to guess?”

He studies me for a moment then takes a few steps closer. “Why not come out into the clear, where we can have a civilized conversation?”

“Said the fox to the hen.” I pause, uncertain. It seems like a poor choice. The better one would be to run home and never return. But I’d tried that before, to no avail. My curiosity will inevitably be the death of me. So I step out of the shrubs, shoving back the thorny branches as they nip at my skin.

Again, he looks me over, but this time there’s a different feel to it. I gesture for him to go ahead. “Your name?”

“You may call me Zanthiel. Knight of the Shadow court.” He dips his head slightly.

I inhale sharply. So, he IS a Shadow Faerie. I knew he had to be dangerous, but a Shadow Fey— This is another level of danger entirely. My very first encounter with a Fey and he’s from the darkest part of Faery. He’s trouble. I was taught to run from trouble. Certainly not to invite it. Yet somehow, I find him . . . extremely inviting.

“And I find you captivating,” he says, his eyes boring into mine.

Clever trick, reading minds. “Is that so, or is that just something you say to strange girls in the woods?”

“I cannot lie, so it has to be true.” He shrugs with his body, leaning casually against the tree.

My nose wrinkles. “It must be awful to not be able to lie. The truth is always better with a handful of glitter thrown over it. Dress it up a little. Make it shine. I adore lying. In fact, fabricating fiction is what’s kept me alive this long.” I shake my head and laugh, noticing the way he’s looking at me. Noticing it and liking it. “Truly. If I couldn't think fast and come up with a plausible story, just fantastical enough, but not too outlandish to be believable, then my mother’s punishments would be far more severe.”

“So, then, Isobel, I assume you are the trustworthy sort.” He smirks.

I like him from that moment on. Like him far more than I ought to. But there is something so poetic about a pathological liar connecting with someone who is genetically unable to tell a lie. That is Zanthiel. He baffles and thrills and frightens and dares, seduces and soothes with the stroke of a word. And no matter its outcome, you know without question that word is pure truth. With me, it is more likely to be pure fiction. In the moments together with him, I see a reason to be honest. A reason to want to tell the truth, to myself and to him.

“Isobel. I see you’ve met my friend.”

I spin around to face Adrius. My face flushes with heat. Embarrassed by how much I’ve enjoyed meeting his friend.

****

My heart belongs to Adrius. And so I wish I understood why, when Zanthiel offered to escort me home that night, I agreed to it. I wonder why I agreed to so many opportunities to be alone with him. Alone with both of them.

Before long, I found myself unable to give up either one of them. When the three of us are together, we have the time of our lives. And when I’m alone with either of them, they complete a different broken part of me.

I was whole with them both. It was foolish and selfish and utterly unrealistic to think that my actions would not have consequences. Dire ones.

In the months that would follow, I ought to have known…the battle, my death, even my reincarnation into pure evil , , , it all boiled down to the same single weakness, the same fatal mistake.

My inability to choose between them.

FREEZE Releases September 1st!!!

noreply@blogger.com (Michele) — Thu, 01 Sep 2016 01:07:00 +0000

WOW, it's not until I write another blog post that I realize how much time has gone past, or how fast time flies by. Summer went past in a whoosh, filled with lots of fun and exhilarating and relaxing moments. And now here we are, ready for the release of FREEZE. The novella/novel that gives you Zanthiel's point of view. ;) I'm hoping this will be popular with his fans (and there are so many of you now!) becuase it gives a little more insight into who he is, and what makes this Shadow Faerie tick. Plus it continues the story from where BITTERSWEET leaves off.

And to launch things, we're touring the book with Bewitching Tours and making lots of fabulous stops along the way.

Here's the schedule, so make sure to stop by & say hello!!

Ali - The Dragon Slayer

http://cancersuckscouk.ipage.com/

Synopsis:

In a twisted game of following impossible clues to ceaseless dead ends, The Shadow Faerie Zanthiel is forced to search for the girl he'd let go. Lorelei may be out of his life, but she’s never far from his mind with the prophecy pulling them together. They both feel it, yet they both have reason to fight it. He might not be able to have her, but no force in this world, or any other will stop him from saving her. Time is running out, and Zanthiel has only a fraction of it left to find her, before those hunting her find either one of them.

Cannes Film Festival, Book Clubs and Chocolate

noreply@blogger.com (Michele) — Mon, 30 May 2016 16:20:00 +0000

I had to share this video with you in case you haven't had the chance to see it yet. Why? Because it was the single most exciting thing to happen so far this month. I mean, when the producer who's optioned your book to be made into a motion picture, gives you a shout-out during the Cannes festival...that's bound to elevate the heart rate a little, right?!

Was it the most exciting thing to happen with my writing career to date, you ask? Not really. "But it's a MOVIE DEAL," I hear you shouting and madly waving your arms. "What could be more exciting than that?" It's a hard one to top, I'll give you that.

My favorite moment of being an author so far? Wow, tough question. There have been a million heart-stopping fabulous moments in this journey so far from my first book contract to seeing the cover art, to selling the film rights. And I know there will be a ton more to come. But nothing quite compares to sitting at a table in the back of my favourite bookstore, with a group of amazing young women who chose Fire & Ice for their book club selection.

Listening to the passion and excitement about the characters...characters I created, characters I lived and breathed and thought I understood inside out. Then coming to realize from their unfiltered, tell-it-like-it-is, two hour plus steady stream of thoughts, opinions and feelings, that they had lived and breathed those characters also. They proved with the clear conviction and authority that only girls who are consumed by a story can convey, that they quite probably knew those characters even better than I did. They most certainly loved, hated and were as equally invested in how their stories unfolded as I was.

Now that moment, was incredibly surreal.

...Plus, there was chocolate! For those of you just tuning in...I adore chocolate.

The only thing that could possibly top that would be eating chocolate at a teen book club....in Scotland, or Ireland....while filming Fire & Ice....and writing the next installment in the saga that's proving to be much longer than the originally planned trilogy! ;) Now that will really get my heart racing!

Hope your days, months, weeks and years are filled with things that make your heart beat a little faster!

FREEZE is coming soon!!!

noreply@blogger.com (Michele) — Mon, 25 Apr 2016 15:54:00 +0000

So I know its been, a while...as in a very long while, since my last post. But you'll be happy to know its becuase I've been writing. I wrote three novella's (which are more novel length than novella) for the Faerie Song Trilogy , plus I was contracted to write a series of children's books. Guess who's doing the illustrations....thaaat's right...me. So to say I've been busy is so much of an understatement its almost not even true. But I did want to take a breather to let you know that FREEZE, the first in the series of novellas, is in the hands of my publisher as we speak. Now, I know some of you (aka a LOT of you) are Zanthiel fans. Yes, I've been listening to and reading your heartfelt posts. Seriously, what is up with that? He has totally eclipsed Adrius as the book-boyfriend fave, which kind of blows my mind. But anyway, this first book is his story. In his voice. It picks up from where book 2 (BITTERSWEET) left off and delves a little more into his backstory and past. You know, so we get to see why he is the way he is...with all of that, deep, dark, badassness that is purely Zanthiel.

The second in the novellas is MELT, which is Venus' story. Now she's an interesting character. Always cool to know what makes the bad girl tick. ;) and then, of course, we have BURN, which is Adirus' story. I had planned on releasing his first, but in light of all of the recent Zanthiel fans, I decided to switch it up a bit. Hopefully you'll get all three during the spring, summer and fall. And the third book in the trilogy DARKEST LIGHT out for winter. That's my timeline, and its more of a wishlist than anything else. Because publishers...well they have thier own schedules for things. So we'll just have to wait and see if I'm close. Either way, I promise to let you know release dates as soon as I have them.

Thanks so much for reading, blogging, book-clubbing & reviewing the series... and if you loved it, thanks for telling a friend or fifty! It's so cool how many new fans have fallen in love with Mythlandria and it's characters as much as I have!! <3

Have an amazing day!!!

Happy Holidays!!!

noreply@blogger.com (Michele) — Sat, 26 Dec 2015 16:40:00 +0000

Wishing you all a wonderful Holiday Season filled with joy & happiness,

laughter & love

...and of course , more fabulous books!!! xo

Listening to the FIRE & ICE Audiobook

noreply@blogger.com (Michele) — Mon, 07 Dec 2015 16:29:00 +0000

Yes, that's right, in place of the Christmas tunes that have been filling our house for the past week, I've switched gears. Why, you ask? Well, after several days of being out of commission after a dental filling gone astray, (don't ask, I'm still getting over the pain) I was given some news that brightened my day. Audio Realms finished producing the masters for the FIRE & ICE audiobook, read by the fabulous voice actor Mandy Kaplan. And BITTERSWEET audiobook will be out in the new year.

Quite honestly, I'd never been drawn to audiobooks, but three chapters in I was hooked. Now I play it everywhere. It is so much fun to listen to....it reminds me of being read to as a child, something I've always loved.

So if you or someone you know is like me and wants to give audiobooks a go, here's the where-to-find it info:
http://www.amazon.com/Fire-Ice/dp/B018ILETNQ
http://www.audible.com/pd/Teens/Fire-Ice-Audiobook/B018ILENT6

AND we'll be sponsoring a FREEBIE GIVEAWAY of the FIRE & ICE Audiobook on the iFandom's Collide Blog Friday Dec.11th! Stay turned for that one!!

Here's a little audio sampler:

In between listening to the entire thirteen hour Fire & Ice saga, I'll be back to playing Bing Crosby's White Christmas, Lady Gaga's Lady Gaga's Baby It's Cold Outside, Clay Aiken's Mary, Did You Know, and Boney M's When a Child Is Born. We have a pretty eclectic mix in this house, and we embrace what we love no matter the category. Music, like books and painting and all forms of art, evokes powerful emotions and creates magical lifelong memories. My holiday wish for you is a lifetime of happy ones!

Until next time! CHEERS!

Feeling Like Cinderella, Back From the Ball!

noreply@blogger.com (Michele) — Sun, 06 Sep 2015 17:18:00 +0000

The past few days have been a whirlwind of excitement. New connections, and new projects have rounded out the end of summer, but the amount of buzz over a post I wrote for Gordon A Wilson's blog.... well there's just no describing that feeling! Other than a bit like Cinderella returning from the ball.\ow apt, considering the post is called:

4 Ways Selling the Film Rights to My Book

was Like a Cinderella Story

I speak a lot about the magic that happens when you pursue your dreams. Even the serendipitous way I met author extraordinaire Sheri McInnis and blogger extraordinaire Gordon Wilson was nothing short of a magical meeting. Through the wonderful article about the film deal by Whitney South. I was connected to Sheri who connected me to Gordon. Then with a single blog post about how I sold the film deal for Fire & Ice... a wave of a magic wand....and there were over 5000 views of the article on the first day alone! Magic. The fun has not stopped since. There's been a veritable twitter fest happening and I couldn't be more thrilled. Always happy to share my story in the hopes that it inspires other to follow their wildest dreams with reckless abandon, and total disregard for those who tell them it can't be done!

Check out the article here on Gordon's Blog. And while you're there, browse some of the other amazing posts. You're sure to be enlightened and inspired.

And I'd also invite you to check out Sheri's blog. Her post on the reasons she turned away from a successful stint in traditional publishing to self-publishing her upcoming novel is worth its weight in gold for any author. THE HUNTER'S MOON is a supernatural thriller about Witches in NYC, and is due out November. Watch for it! I know I will be!!

Those of you in the Philly area... please stop by and visit me at YA Fest 2015. I'll be there along with tons of other amazing authors signing and chatting and and hanging out! Don't miss out on the fun!

Spotlight on FLING Box Set Author Tracy Reed - THE GOOD GIRL

noreply@blogger.com (Michele) — Thu, 09 Jul 2015 00:36:00 +0000

Today we're featuring another fabulous FLING author. #NewAdultFling

Tracy Reed author of The Good Girl

TAGLINE:

When Gabriella accepted her new assignment, she didn’t know it also included a chance for love with her boss, the hot and elusive, Phillippe Marchant.

BLURB:

Gabriella Townsend has been patiently waiting for her dream job. When she’s presented with the dream, it’s not exactly what she was expecting. She was hoping to work her way up the corporate ladder. Instead, one phone call and an office number on a slip of paper, lands her on the executive floor.

After a month working for the elusive, handsome and sexy, Phillippe Marchant, he offers her a life changing assignment…the position of “girlfriend.” Terrified of her feelings for him and the possibility of losing her job, she’s not sure what to do.

EXCERPT:

“Tony, make sure Marcos knows to go to my place and check on things. Have him forward anything that looks important to the D.C. office, and I’ll see you on board.”

Now I was confused. I thought Tony was the driver. Who the crap is Marcos? I’m surrounded by strange men. I looked down briefly. When I raised my head, my eyes landed on a very tall, young, hot man walking towards me. My body reacted in a way I had never experienced. I was trembling from head to toe, and a strange sensation settled in the lower half of my body.

I’ve never seen an executive or man that looked like this. Most of the executives at Morgan Grant were older and definitely not this fine. This man’s skin looked like rich black coffee. I wanted to touch his face to see if it felt as smooth as it looked. He was wearing a light grey suit and a simple white shirt, with the first few buttons undone to reveal more of that beautiful dark skin. He continued toward me and his spicy scent filled up the plane. This couldn’t be…

“Phillippe, we finally meet.” He extended his hand and I saw his guns. My God, every muscle in his body was at attention and now he was giving me permission to touch him.

“Hello.” I shook his hand and a spark erupted. No really, an electric shock.

“Must be the carpet,” he joked.

“Sir,” Gil appeared.

“Gil, thank you for taking care of Miss Townsend. Once we get on our way, please serve lunch. I haven’t eaten since this morning. When Tony gets back, tell the pilot wheels up. Thank you.”

“Yes sir.” Gil disappeared to the rear of the plane.

“Gabriella,” he looked at me and the most salacious thought crossed my mind.

Spotlight on FLING New Adult Author Geralyn Corcillo- Random Acts of Violet

noreply@blogger.com (Michele) — Sat, 04 Jul 2015 23:17:00 +0000

Our next fabulous story and author profile from the FLING Box set is

Random Acts of Violet by Geralyn Corcillo

#NewAdultFling

Title:

Random Acts of Violet

Author:

Geralyn Corcillo

Tagline:

Cautious loner Violet Parker needs a new playbook when her quiet summer on campus collides with an unexpected eight year-old, a monster in the attic, and Noah...

Blurb:

Quietly independent Violet Parker is enjoying an uneventful summer of house-sitting, writing her thesis, and working to make ends meet. But suddenly a kid gets dumped on her doorstep, something keeps going bump in the attic, and most disturbing of all, Noah Swardguard shows up to lead a summer football program.
Noah has never succeeded in getting close to his reserved lab partner Violet. But when he sees her on campus in July—in charge of a little girl who makes her laugh and live a little—he wonders if maybe, just maybe, he has a chance with Violet Parker after all.

Excerpt:

“Hello?” he called out.
A slim young woman with a glossy brown ponytail popped up from a sort of alcove in the back. “Hi!” she chirped, turning to face him. “What can I get—” Her mouth snapped shut when she saw him. But then she pasted on a totally plastic customer service smile. “—you? What can I get you?”
Noah willed himself not to react. At all. “Violet Parker.”
“Hi, Noah.”
“So...” he said, “working here for the summer?”
“Yeah. You?”
“Yeah. The team runs a football camp for high school kids.”
“Hm. What can I get you?”
Right. Parker had never liked that he played football. Not that she'd ever said anything. But she'd been classic with the bullet-proof silences. Even just watching her concentrate over a bunsen burner could be arctic.
“Noah?” she prompted.
“Coconut mango protein shake and a bear claw to go. Please.”
“Right.” She quickly rang him up, gave him his change, then paused. “Um, why don't you go sit over there while I whip up your order.” She was waving to some tables in the far corner. As in, get as far away from me as geographically possible.
“Parker, I'm your only customer. What? Are you going to bake me a bear claw from scratch? I'll just take one from the case, if it's all the same to you.”
“Okay.” She quickly tossed his pastry into a thin paper bag and shoved it at him. “Now just go over there and wait, please, and I'll bring you your drink.”
Seriously? It would take her, like, a minute to blend it. But she was looking at him steadily. Almost like she was trying to use a Jedi mind trick to get him to go away.
Ouch.

Excerpt:

“Hello, Brooke.”

Ignoring the sudden butterflies in her stomach, she waved a casual hand. “Hi, Garrett. It’s been awhile.”

“I believe it was just before Janet moved out, almost a year.”

“Janet told me about the divorce. I debated whether to call, but, well...I didn’t know what to say.” To cover her awkwardness, Brooke allowed the words to flow from her mouth as if she had vocal diarrhea. “I always considered you, my friend, too. We had such fun together. I wanted to see if I could do anything for you, but I...”

Embarrassed by her rambling, she stared at the stuff in her cart; lettuce, fruit, protein bars, each one good for her.

Man, I need to pick up a box of cookies.

Forcing back the urge to binge on any tasty treat available, she recalled how his face lit up when he was excited, his deep belly laughter, and his willingness to listen when she had a problem.

Damn it, she didn’t blame him for the breakup. Well, maybe for not listening to her warning. She had told him that her friend had a natural tendency to throw responsibility to the wind. Still, Brook hadn’t wanted to take sides. Because it was incredibly hard to choose between two people she cared about, one a friend since kindergarten and the other the man of her dreams. Guilt sparked inside her.

Why? Did she still want more than just to be his friend? Was this her chance?

“Don’t worry, I’m over it now. I bought a house, which requires most of my time. I spent last weekend putting in a new hot-water heater. The old one leaked.” Garrett brushed a hand through his dark, curly hair. The silky strands fell back into place without distracting from the perfect picture he represented.

Sexy, hot, and totally off limits.

Fire and Ice optioned for a MOVIE!

noreply@blogger.com (Michele) — Tue, 30 Jun 2015 00:35:00 +0000

I believe I might have mentioned the incredibly exciting news about the film release for Fire & Ice? Well, since the big news, word has spread like wildfire (yes I know that's a pretty cliche phrase, but it's been a long week) and I wanted to share with you both the official Press Release AND the newspaper article that was published. Two positively giddy moments in time for me, I have to say.

I promise to keep you posted on things as they unfold. The journey from page to screen is pretty involved and a huge learning curve for me, so it's exciting to learn how things work behind the scenes. I look forward to sharing that journey with all of you!

First-time Author Uses Twitter to Land Film Deal for Young Adult Fantasy Series

Astraea Press is thrilled to announce it will join forces with Khando Entertainment to produce the film adaptation of debut author Michele Barrow-Belisle’s Amazon best-seller, the young adult fantasy Fire and Ice. The deal was brokered by Louise Fury at The Bent Agency.

Fire and Ice is the first book in the Faerie Song Trilogy, and the film option spans all three books. Audio Rights have already been sold to Audio Realms with negotiation for foreign territories already underwTwitter played a crucial role in bringing the project from the page to the screen. Barrow-Belisle connected with Khando Entertainment’s Ajay Nayyar on Twitter, by way of a mutual follower. Nayyar saw Barrow-Belisle promoting Fire and Ice on the social media site and requested a copy. When he started reading the book, he “couldn't put it down,” Nayyar says. “I visualized her brilliant writing with such ease, and I knew I was on to a winner.”

Fire and Ice is a teen fantasy romance novel and tells the story of eighteen-year-old Lorelei Alundra, a girl with a magical singing voice who has the power to heal with a touch. Lorelei has spent most of her life hiding from her talents, which are controlled by the dark faerie who gave them to her. Content with her normal life, Lorelei is unnerved by her inexplicable attraction to the new boy in her art class, who is as terrifying as he is captivating. When her mom falls critically ill, Lorelei follows the new boy into a world of Elves, Witches, and Faeries in an attempt to save her. Prophecies unfold and she finds herself trapped in their world, forced to fulfill a destiny she wants no part of as her reality becomes more terrifying than fiction.

Against a vivid, otherworldly backdrop, Fire and Ice explores the eternal debate: Are lives governed by choices we make or are our choices predestined from birth?

“I think it’s a theme people can relate to at any age,” says Barrow-Belisle.

The other books in the trilogy include Bittersweet and Darkest Light. With its journey from the best-seller list to theaters, Fire and Ice follows in the footsteps of young adult blockbusters like Twilight, Divergent, and The Hunger Games.

“The entire story played out like a movie in my mind as I wrote it,” says Barrow-Belisle, who received interest from other producers before connecting with Nayyar at Khando Entertainment. “It was exciting to meet a producer who saw the importance of having the author’s input. Seeing my stories brought to life on the big screen will be a dream come true.”

About the Author:

As a fan of everything romantic, her young adult novels are populated with witches and vampires and faeries. Michele resides in southern Canada with her husband and son who indulge her passions for writing, reading, lattes, and most of all chocolate. Fire and Ice is her debut novel.

London author's bestseller heading to the big screen

MOVIE MAGIC

London author Michele Barrow-Belisle is getting ready to try out her screenwriting chops as her Amazon bestseller, Fire and Ice, is getting ready to make its way to theatres.

London Community News
By Whitney South

For as long as she can remember, London author Michele Barrow-Belisle has believed in magic.

Understandable considering her first Amazon bestseller, Fire and Ice, revolves around a world full of fairies, where nothing is as it seems and where dreams become reality.

Now, Barrow-Belisle will get a chance to see her tale make its way to theatres, thanks to a little twist of fate and a maybe a little pixie dust.

After joining a bunch of social media groups for actors and casting directors, she was approached by a woman on Twitter who said she knew a producer who might be interested in adapting Fire and Ice to the big screen.

An unexpected but welcomed surprise for Barrow-Belisle, whose usual day-to-day involves working as a part-time preschool teacher and sculptor.

“I’m a big planner and I thought, this just fell into my lap so I’m not expecting anything at all,” the author explained. “I kept thinking — what are the odds?”

Turns out, they were pretty good after all.

Not long after their introduction, Barrow-Belisle found herself in the middle of a deal with UK-based agency, Khando Entertainment.

“I’m a fan of fantasy and after receiving a short synopsis of the story, I was very intrigued,” said producer Ajay Nayyar, adding while reading the book, the tale was one he just couldn’t put down. “It took me on a journey that I didn’t want to end.”

Follow that up with a number of conversations with the author herself and Nayyar was sold.

“I've never done something like this before, but it’s been on my list for a number of years,” he said. “We are delighted to have secured the film rights. Excited would be an understatement.”

A sentiment shared by Barrow-Belisle, who counted herself lucky to have found such a perfect fit.

“Right from the beginning the producer was 100 onboard with the importance of having the author’s input,” she said. “For them, it’s all about staying as true to the story as much as possible, which I thought was really great.”

Fire and Ice follows Lorelei Alundra, a girl gifted with two otherworldly talents for singing and healing, powers she’s shied away from for years. But when she meets the enigmatic Adrius, her uneventful life becomes irrevocably altered. Finding herself immersed in world of elves, fairies and witches, Lorelei must fight for what is right, where one mistake could put the fate of the magical world, and her soul, in jeopardy.

A tale rich with fantasy to be sure, but for Barrow-Belisle the story finds its roots stemming from an idea everyone can relate to.

“It’s just all about this journey, a battle between choosing your own destiny and what you’re fated to become,” she explained. “The whole time I was writing it — and I’m sure a lot of authors say this — I can see this playing as a movie, so I had that in the back of my mind.”

These days, Barrow-Belisle can certainly relate to the concept of creating her own fate as she makes the move from author to screenwriter, reminding fans never to give up on their dreams.

“It’s really exciting, I always loved writing and I always loved reading but I never considered it something I could do full-time,” she said. “I hope what’s happened gives other authors some hope about what’s possible, it’s an invitation to go for it — you never know what’s going to happen.”

That was news Number Two.....
