Evolution is Free at Barnes & Noble

Evolution is now live and Free on Barnes & Noble, Smashwords and Diesel. Unfortunately I am unable to make Evolution free on Amazon as well. A permanently free book on their site is only made that way at their discretion - a few notifications from customers advising on their 'Tell us about a lower price' link that it is free on Barnes & Noble may also help sway their decision.

There has been a bit of a hiccup with Evolution's book description which has not been loaded on Barnes & Noble, and there is nothing I can do about it for now as per Smashwords policy - they will not notify B&N until it has been that way for 2 weeks and then it could take another week or so to rectify. So in the meantime customers seem to be downloading the book on the cover picture alone - the fact that it's free may also have something to do with it, but I'd like to think it's the cover.

As for iBooks, I am trying to decide if I should publish directly or through Smashwords, as Apple Australia require that I register for GST which is a whole other issue, and I'm not sure if it is worth doing or to just go with Smashwords. Decisions, decisions - it's all doing my head in!

Tormented is now live on Smashwords, and is still sitting in the 'pending review' to be approved to be sent to Barnes & Noble ect. I will do another post when Tormented is live on B&N, and until then, I will cross my fingers that Amazon price match and make Evolution Free as well.

Cover Reveal & Release Date

I am so excited to finally be able to reveal Tormented's cover. I have to say a big thank you to Robyn from Book Cover Design Services for another awesome cover - she is absolutely brilliant & always surpasses my expectations!!

Now for the release date, Tormented will be live on Amazon on 19th October 2012. I am also hoping to have both books up on Smashwords, Barnes & Noble, iTunes ect. as soon as possible - considering I'm in Australia & some of these sites require US bank accounts, I'm not sure how long it will take for both Evolution & Tormented to become live but I'm hoping (& crossing fingers & toes) it won't be too long.

Tormented Teaser

Anna opened her mouth to say something, but no words came out. I looked over at Aiden, who was still standing back, too afraid to come anywhere near me. I didn’t blame him. I wanted to crawl out of my skin and get as far away from me as possible too.

The blood felt as if it were slowly seeping into my skin. I had to get it off. And the fastest way I could think to do that was to drench myself in a pool of water.

Unable to look at myself anymore, I closed my eyes and transported outside their house and into the lake. The ice-cold water pierced my skin, washing away all traces of what had happened upstairs. When I looked around, the water had turned a crimson red, and I felt as though I was right back to square one. Except the blood was all over me. Diluted yes, but still all over me.

I swam back towards the pier, trying to escape the bloodied water that surrounded me. By the time I had reached the metal ladder up to the pier, I was sure that I had escaped the blood. I climbed up the ladder and stepped onto the wooden planks.

Aiden was standing in front of me, holding a towel outstretched in his arms. “You know you could’ve just used another shower."

Tormented - Book 2 in the Evolution Series

Recently I have been contacted numerous times, asking if there will be a 2nd book in the Evolution Series - the answer is, YES!!

I am halfway through the 2nd draft, then the book will be off for editing. I am hoping to have Tormented out by mid October if all goes well.

Keep an eye out on my blog for various giveaways as Tormented's release date nears.
