Since Halloween is fast approaching and since its one of our favorite holidays we’d thought we’d spend some time focusing on the scary, the strange, the fun, and the dark of this time of the year. We’re having our GIANT Halloween Reader Party for the next week. Its going on here…
What does this mean to you? It means you’ve got some fun hot spots around the web to hang and discuss the paranormal and whatever else. It also means we’ll be doing some great giveaways. Yay, prizes! This will run from Oct 24-31st!
After years of being asked and asked and asked when I would write young adult fiction, I finally did. Well, that’s not true. I’ve been writing it behind the scenes for years but kept it hush hush until now. See, Raven Book’s is getting ready to launch its Young Adult Imprint Nevermore. You’ll find my YA work under the name Tempest Stevens. Why a pen name for it, you ask? That’s easy. I do NOT want teens who read my YA to think they can run around and buy up all my Mandy Books. They ARE NOT for teens. So, I decided to separate my YA work by using a pen name. I’m not keeping it super secret, obviously, since I’m sharing here with you. I’m just giving a visual separation for teens from my Mandy work and YA.
Here is a tiny peek at one of my Tempest Steven titles.
Black Widow Boulevard by Tempest Stevens (YA Paranormal Romance) Suitable for grades 10+
Shi Lemaitre has never really been sure how to take her overly eccentric mother and sister. Though she knows they’re beyond different, that they’re “special”, there is a darkness surrounding them that she doesn’t share. It’s a mystery she’s not sure she fully wants to understand.
Sean Ballentine knows The Addam’s Family and The Munsters have nothing on his relatives. Whether it’s his grandmother enchanting doorknobs to bite his mother or the cursed refrigerator that ate his cousin, there is always something strange going on in the Ballentine home. He and his brothers, who are all a hodgepodge of paranormal, take turns trying to outdo each other in their dark, deadly and dashing ladies man rivalry. Girls are nothing more than pawns in their game—that is, until Sean finds himself colliding with a woman who looks almost identical to the one he’s only recently started dating.
In the midst of a mother and sister who can shift into black widow spiders to ensnare men and a group of brothers who put the bad in badass, Shi has to learn the truth of her past and her present to avoid a disastrous future. If not, she and Sean won’t stand a chance at happiness together—something neither of them ever had dared hoped for and something neither of them is willing to let go of. Be sure to check out Nevermore’s site. Also, if you want updates on releases, join its newsletter.
To get you in the mood for my favorite time of the year–Fall/Halloween, I’m sharing this awesomeness with you. Play this more than once and then I dare you not to be singing it all day.
To the readers who have taken time out to review my titles at various places around the web, thank you. And yes, this thank you also extends to readers who didn’t care much for what they read. And to those who did enjoy what you read and wanted to be sure others knew, I thank you as well. When people take time out of their busy days to comment on one of my titles I do appreciate it. Thanks… you are ALL full of awesome-y goodness.
If you read my books and want to know how you can help spread the word about my titles and assure more books in the series and more books in general release from me, please take a moment to go back to Amazon, B&N, ARE, wherever you bought the book/ebook and leave a star rating and review on the book page.
You can do so anonymously. You don’t have to say much but you’re welcome to. It helps authors out a lot and means the world to me to know that my readers want to share their thoughts on my work and help others find me. Remember that goodreads also allows for reviews.
And hey, if you hate my work, I’m guessing you’re not here reading my blog and could give a crap about lending a hand. LOL You’re welcome to tell me how much you dislike the book.
*PRIZES-If you win a prize in a contest or theme day (etc) from Mandy's blog or from any of its affiliates and do not claim it within 30 days, its void.
