While you're waiting for SHATTERED...

Hey all,

First of all - THANK YOU - for all the Scorched love. I'm so excited that everyone's been loving the book so much. Even six months after its release I'm still seeing great sales and feedback and I feel like we're just at the beginning of the awesome. VERY, VERY SOON we will be revealing the cover to SHATTERED. Wait 'till you see it!! If you thought the Scorched cover was cool...

Also, some very cool news - Brilliance Audio has licensed the rights to ALL THREE Scorched books. So if you enjoy listening to audiobooks like me - this is great news! I don't have a date on when they'll be released...my guess is in line with the paperback of Scorched which comes out in September.

Also good news - Scholastic Book Club/Fairs has licensed the rights to Scorched as well, meaning that they will be putting out their own paperback version, starting in August when school gets back into session. This will be a less expensive version that will be sold in schools all over the country. I'm SUPER EXCITED about this as it will get the book into the hands of tons of kids who might not be able to afford the more expensive hardcover edition. AND the timing couldn't be more perfect with Shattered launching September 1st.

Lastly, since I know September 1st is SO SO SO far away, I wanted to point you all in the direction of a similar book I wrote that you might not have heard of. Something to tide you over until you can get more dragons. This one is called TOMORROW LAND and it takes place just before and just after a zombie apocalypse. The cover was done by Tony Sahara, who also did the Scorched series covers.

Tomorrow Land is only $3.99 on ebook and $8.99 for the paperback. I hope you will check it out!!



Can true love survive the end of the world?

Imagine finding your first love, only to be ripped apart by the apocalypse. Peyton Anderson will never forget the day she was forced to make a choice--between her family--and Chris Parker, the boy she'd given her heart. Now, four years later, as she steps from the fallout shelter and into a dead and broken world, he's the only thing on her mind.

All Chris "Chase" Parker wanted was to take Peyton away and keep her safe from harm. But he waited for hours in the rain on judgment day and she never showed--breaking his heart without ever telling him why.

Now the two of them have been thrown together once again, reluctant chaperones to a group of orphan children in a post-apocalyptic world where the dead still walk...and feed. As they begin their pilgramage to the last human outpost on Earth, can they find a way to let go of old hurts and find the love they lost--all while attempting to save what's left of the human race?

Missing the Blood Coven? How about a deleted scene?

Hey all,

Since I know a lot of you are still mourning the end of my Blood Coven Vampire series, I thought I'd dig back into my files and offer up a special treat! A deleted scene that was originally written for Soul Bound that never made it into the book!

I hope you enjoy it! And, in the meantime, if you're a Wattpad member, please consider following me there! I have plans for a whole bunch of awesome Wattpad stuff in the very near future!!

But for now, I'll let Rayne take it away!!
