Cover Reveal Through Glass

The first Volume of the best-selling Through Glass series is being re-launched!

Today is the day! Through Glass has a new cover!!!

Check it out!

Dive into the world of the Through Glass Novella Series with the first three episodes in this Exclusive Bundle pack. Discover Lex's world and why Through Glass is called "Brilliant." "Beautiful." and "Haunting." Everyone remembered the day the sky went black. The day the sun was wiped from the sky. They remember the wind as it brought in the darkness; the way the earth shook and everything changed. Everyone remembered the screams as the darkness ate those who were out in the open, those who had surrounded themselves by light, and those who made noise. Everyone remembered the voice from the sky and the way food disappeared. At least, that’s what I hoped. I hoped that there was an ‘everyone’ that would remember because I am not sure how many are left, how many survived. Or if anyone did. I hoped that I wasn’t alone. I remembered that day. I remembered because it was the day I became alone. It was the day that everything was perfect until the monsters took it away. Then the house went silent and the birds stopped singing. It was the day when everyone disappeared, everyone except the boy, the only person I have seen in two years. The boy I talk to through the glass.

The Blessed Knights Release Day Blitz & Giveaway with Mary Ting

Title: The Blessed Knights

Author: Mary Ting

Genre: YA Fantasy/Paranormal

Editor: Jessica Nelson

Cover Designer: Regina Wamba at MaeIDesign & Photography

Hosted by: Lady Amber’s PR

Blurb: Above a small hill lay a home.

And green men peer out under the dome.

Thirteen crisscrossing arches behold,

with angels singing must be told.

Cubes like teeth thus showed,

pierce one and the door shall glow.

Part the sea like Moses,

to see the bundle of red roses.

Only then you shall see,

what is destined to be free.

Eli, Lucia’s half-demon love interest, has been stabbed with a true-cross dagger and captured by Cyrus, master of the possessor demons. The Chosen Knights must work together once again not only to save Eli, but also to decipher a clue to find the second missing page of Jacques de Molay’s journal. Meanwhile, Uncle Davin informs Crossroads’ Divine Elders of the danger ahead and learns there is much to fear. Countless children are being taken from all over the world to be turned into demons. Michael, one of the Divine Elders, has no choice but to intervene. The Chosen Knights track down Mortem, the demon who is the key to finding Cyrus, and learn they must travel deep into the pit of a Hawaiian volcano. When they astral travel to the past in search of a clue and follow Jacques de Molay to Rosselyn Chapel in medieval Scotland, what they find will rewrite history.

Mary Ting resides in Southern California with her husband and two children. She enjoys oil painting and making jewelry. Writing her first novel, Crossroads Saga, happened by chance. It was a way to grieve the death of her beloved grandmother, and inspired by a dream she once had as a young girl. When she started reading new adult novels, she fell in love with the genre. It was the reason she had to write one-Something Great. Why the pen name, M Clarke? She tours with Magic Johnson Foundation to promote literacy and her children’s chapter book-No Bullies Allowed.

Hosted by: Lady Amber’s PR

Blurb:

Valen Kildrake has a problem:

Vampires are real,

and they are very, very hungry.

Armed with ancient spells, weapons of pure silver, holy water, and deep-dish pizza,

Valen hunts down the monsters who feed on humans,

confronting death in battle after battle.

But he is only one man against a horde.

Worse, his enemies are getting smarter and bolder.

What will he do when a new force of unknown power appears?

Who can he trust when other hunters hide secrets of their own?

Clever and greedy, vampires are slowly winning the ancient war against

the razor-sharp blades of the trained warriors of Mars Alator.

One by one, skilled Hunters are being torn to shreds by fangs and claws.

Valen fights on, determined to honor his father’s memory,

vowing to destroy as many leeches as he can before the inevitable end.

Soon, no one will be left to stop the overwhelming tide of leeches.

Something has to change.

Who will defend humanity if the last vampire hunters fall?

When a mysterious woman crosses his path of destruction,

Kinship, Book Two: The Unpredictable Life of a Vampire Hunter

Vampires are here.

Hungry, they strike from the shadows...

Only human blood will feed the monsters, stealing away lives, emptying the cities.

Very few men and women are left to stop the massing horde: the Hunters of Mars Alator.

If it takes his very last breath, Valen Kildrake will track down every last monster, destroy every nest, rescue any survivors, fight, slash, and burn anything in his path.

Valen refuses to fail even as other Hunters die in the centuries-old conflict.

Trained since childhood to fight the leeches, Valen Kildrake hunted alone

until he met the mysterious Adelinde.

Together, on the run, the two vampire hunters must learn to work together.

Secrets define them both.

Secrets that can destroy everything.

When faced with the choice, will Valen’s pride let Adelinde in?

Together, can they find a pathway to save humanity

from the bloodlust of the growing vampire horde?

Excerpt, book one: Uncertain:

 "Carefully placing each foot, Valen skirted the hedges, stepping in and out of the little fairy gardens planted by tiny fingers that decorated most of the front yard. There were strings of long, silver Christmas tinsel around the mailbox and across the porch of the bright yellow house. When the wind blew, the little bits of metal refracted the light and made the place cheery and whimsical. At least, they once had.

 Valen could smell death: the specific scent of rot and burst intestines that sent cadaver dogs into a frenzy. It leaked from the house like the waft of blossoms from a gardenia tree. It hung in the air for anyone to recognize. Not that many would come here without purpose. There wasn't much traffic down the small country dirt road marked Wilder Way. Prairie weeds flowered in waving fields for miles in most directions. Jackson, Ohio was a small town with only three day cares.

 Two now, Valen winced at the correction."

***MEET Kaitlin Bevis, AUTHOR OF APHRODITE***

Kaitlin Bevis spent her childhood curled up with a book and a pen. If the ending didn’t agree with her, she rewrote it. Because she’s always wanted to be a writer, she spent high school and college learning everything she could to achieve that goal. After graduating college with a BFA and Masters in English, Kaitlin went on to write The Daughters of Zeus series. If you haven't read the Daughters of Zeus series yet, you can either start with PERSEPHONE, (on sale now for .99 cents) a modern day, young adult retelling of the classic Greek myth, or APHRODITE, a new adult retelling of the epic Greek love story. With over 100 five star reviews on Amazon, you know it's going to be good. For more information, please visit me on my website, Twitter, or Facebook! 

“Aphrodite is such a complex character, and in Kaitlin’s capable hands, I feel like every major character was well developed; the pacing was fast and tight, there were no cliche’s, and the intricate plot threads kept me turning the pages well into the nights. Well done, well done!”

Tonnye Conner

It’s not easy being perfect… But Aphrodite is determined to prove that she’s more than just a pretty face. When she’s asked to investigate strange events occurring on cruise ships, she’s all over it. Little does she guess just how much this mission is going to cost her. The problem—demigods are mysteriously disappearing. Prepared to investigate, Aphrodite manages to charm herself into the best room on the ship. Unfortunately, the room is already taken. It belongs to the one demigod immune to her charm: Adonis. Aphrodite doesn’t know what to make of Adonis. He obviously disapproves of her…yet he saved her life. And he’s hot! Then again, Aphrodite is still reeling from a disastrous—yet incredible—fling with Ares. Gods, these men are going to be the death of her. But then Aphrodite realizes that Adonis could be the next target, and her investigation becomes personal. Only the more she uncovers, the clearer it becomes that she’s in over her head. Confronted with a strange and powerful new opponent, Aphrodite realizes she might not be as immortal as she thought. And Adonis may not be the one who needs saving…. Read the first chapters free!

***EXCLUSIVE CONTENT***

Aphrodite starts each book in her trilogy with a mini-myth. Told in her voice, these myths show a lot about how she looks at the world, what she's struggling with in any given novel, explores changes I've made to the established myths in this universe, and acts as a thematic tie in to the novel. I'm including all three below. The third mini-myth from VENUS RISING has not yet been through the final gauntlet of editing with my publisher and may vary greatly from the version that gets published next year. You have been warned.

Pygmalion

From APHRODITE

ONCE UPON A TIME, there was a woman made of stone. She was beautiful and perfect and strong. Blind to her beauty, Pygmalion took a chisel and reshaped her to better fit his own desires. Still, though her flesh softened and her shape altered, she remained strong and unchanged within. Frustrated, the man appealed to the gods. “The women of Cyprus are all unsuited for a man of my station. Breathe life into this stone, and I shall build a great temple in your honor.” “The city of Cyprus is filled with women made of flesh and bone,” the Goddess of Wisdom reasoned. “Perhaps the problem does not lie with them.” Artemis nodded. “Do not blame the prey when you are not worthy of the hunt.” “Never.” Ares’s eyes glittered with disdain. But Pygmalion found a surprising ally in his quest. “Build me a temple that touches the sky, and the woman will be yours,” decreed the God-King. Pygmalion agreed, and when he set the last stone of the temple into place, Zeus breathed life into the statue, hollowing out her insides and removing every trace of who she once was to replace her very essence with what Pygmalion wished her to be. According to the myth, the statue became a perfect wife. Beautiful, dedicated, and obedi­ent to Pygmalion’s every whim. But I know better than anyone that perfection has a price.

Pandora's Box

From LOVE AND WAR

PANDORA WAS the box. The myths always got that part wrong. When the mortals stole fire from the God-King’s domain, Zeus molded the perfect woman out of clay and breathed not a soul into her small frame, but something darker: ingredients to break mankind. “She looks like us,” Ares said in surprise when he set eyes on the first mortal woman. “Mostly.” At the time, the human body held an entire soul, two heads, four arms, and four legs. They were complete beings, but still they felt unsatisfied. The human drive to always do more, have more, be more, left them hungry. Already, humans had stolen the Fire of Knowledge from the gods. Now they longed for ichor and the secrets of immortality. “This is the only way?” Artemis asked, glancing at the woman with unease. “Are you certain?” “I’ve seen every possible outcome of the mortals’ current path,” Apollo replied. “Unchecked, they will destroy us all.” Resolved, all the gods of Olympus contributed toward Pandora’s creation. Athena taught her wisdom, Hephaestus curiosity, Ares passion, and Artemis strength. As her lessons progressed, Pandora’s love for the gods grew. But when Zeus asked her to use her gifts to live among traitorous gods and men alike, she resisted. “You’re asking me to infiltrate, to spy, to destroy,” she protested. “There must be another way. Please, don’t make me do this. Don’t send me to them.” “You were made for this,” the God King decreed. Eventually, Pandora’s love for the gods prevailed. She loved Zeus’s children and knew that if men no longer had need of the gods, the gods would soon die for want of worship. Love makes monsters of us all. The humans regarded Pandora as a curiosity, as she did not resemble them. Little did they know they were looking upon their future. The humans were kind to Pandora. She grew to love their company, but, sensing their destructive nature, she found she could not entirely dismiss Zeus’s plan to divide mankind by using her to introduce men to sickness, cold, and darkness. She broke off pieces of the thing that should have been her soul and sowed them among mankind. But all her attempts to cause division within the human soul were met with failure. They were too complete, too perfect in their formation to bend and break. Instead of turning against each other, their resolve against the gods of Olympus grew. The traitorous gods, on the other hand, were more amenable to distraction. Pandora was too much like the goddesses the brothers had left behind on Olympus to ignore. Epimetheus resisted her charms not at all, Prometheus for little longer. Soon the brothers fell to infighting. Nine months later, the first demigods were born, and chaos swept across the land. Because of their mother’s lack, the children only held half a soul, yet the humans could not help but love them, for the children were everything they’d ever wished for. One single, golden step between the mortal and divine. First one soul, then another, split in half and remade themselves in the semi-divine children’s image. One head, two legs, two arms, and one-half a soul per human body. But the division caused the humans to become weaker instead of stronger. Their worst traits were amplified, their best halved. They spread across the globe, intent on consuming more and ever more. By the time they realized their mistake, they could no longer find their other halves. Her grim mission complete, Pandora returned to her Olympian home, eager to be reunited with her gods. Zeus did not welcome her back to Olympus. “Where am I to go?” she demanded, heartbroken. “Live among men, or throw yourself off this mountain for all I care. You’ve outlived your usefulness.” And so Pandora left. Ares did not take long to find her. “Did you know what would become of us?” he asked, already wearied of his new role as God of War. “When their souls split, your roles expanded to include the dark sides of your gift,” Pandora replied. “Man must always need you if you’ve any hope of surviving. There’s a price to balance.” Ares shook his head, staring down the mountain as if his gaze could pierce the fog and see the battle and bloodshed below. “This is no kind of balance.” “It will be.” Pandora drew Ares to her and whispered the last piece of the thing that should have been her soul into his ear. It was a single word, one that had never before been uttered. “Why me?” he asked, voice hoarse. “You’ll need hope more than anyone.”

Aphrodite

From VENUS RISING

I'M NOT PERFECT. But I was designed to be. Once upon a time, Zeus sculpted me from foam and death into his vision of beauty perfected. He made me into a puppet. A box. A symbol. A thing designed to be perfectly obedient to him in all things. I bent and twisted beneath his onslaught of lightning and thunder, but when the storm died, I remained. Fragile and broken, but still alive. His death released me from his vision of perfection, leaving me free to find my own. That's when I discovered how far from perfect I truly was. I've been called whore, shallow, arrogant, self-centered, annoying, and worse by beings who physically can't lie. They're not wrong. I'm riddled with flaws. I am neither strong nor brave. I cling too tightly, love too freely, and fear that without my beauty, there's nothing left of me. Nothing real. But life goes on, regardless of my uncertainty. As time passed, I had no choice but to learn to stand on my own two legs, shaky as they may be. Here's what I've learned. I'm nobody's statue or posable doll. I am neither a box nor a symbol. Yes, I've been loved by war, struck by lightning, hugged by spring, and mauled by the sea, but I'm more than a victim. I'm greater than my story. I'm real, flaws and all, and that's terrifying. Every day, I become someone else. Someone stronger. Wiser. Better. I'm becoming myself. But that process isn't always pretty.

I hope you enjoyed the exclusive look into VENUS RISING and the bonus content from APHRODITE and LOVE AND WAR.

ABOUT BISHOP'S QUEEN

“I can't shake the feeling that somebody's watching me.” One second Ella Leighton’s life was normal—the next, not so much. A social media maven who made her living saving sea turtles, the decision to join a reality TV show was a good one for the cause. But for her… the adjustment wasn’t easy. Her publicist used phrases like online personality. An overnight celebrity. Everyone explained that was why she couldn’t shake the feeling. But none of their excuses could explain the letters. The pictures. And then her stalker crossed the line, triggering the demand for security. Bishop O'Kane didn't expect to come face-to-face with his ex-girlfriend when Titan sent him on bodyguard duty. The woman he once loved, the same one he walked away from years ago, was now his responsibility. Opposites in every way, they couldn’t be more different, but maybe they had never needed each other more. With the FBI falling short in their investigation, the Titan team must rally around the woman with millions of followers, protecting her from her own as Bishop and Ella forge a path of second chances and forgiveness, unburying the past in order to survive.

READ A SNEAK PEEK

Ella watched her past walk into the room, and time froze. All of a sudden, she was just a college kid who could stare into those green eyes and feel safe. Too much time had passed, but in a breath of a second, she recalled what it had felt like to run her fingers along the scruff of his jaw. She remembered how he would rub her bare back, walking his fingers up and down her spine until she drifted to sleep in the pillow of his chest, their naked legs tangled. They had history heavy enough to make a moonless night moan. Their baggage was deep and devastating. Pain had forced them apart. She had agonizingly ignored the tears in his words and in her heart, until she never saw him again. Her chest ached for one quick second as he leveled her with the same shocked stare. The glance hit so fast and so hard, slamming so deep and true, that she couldn’t breathe. Her mouth fell open, but words abandoned their purpose and wouldn’t form. Bishop O’Kane stood large and broad. Life looked as though it had been as good to him as it had been hard. He’d roughened, hardened. But those eyes, the poignant greenness, were a well to his soul, counteracting the attitude that rolled off him. He was the same type as the Titan men who’d swept into Tara’s office— machine-like, mountain-like, with muscles made of boulders, and a corded neck. Long ago, Ella had touched and kissed those same spots, never noticing even the tendons that demanded her attention now. Everything was noticeable as he stood in front of her, stunned— the veins on his arms; the way he hulked. “Eloise?” Boots planted to the bathroom floor, Bishop stood his ground, showing a flash of uncertainty as though he needed permission to be in the ladies’ room. “Bishop.” Was he as confused about the situation as she was about him? Likely so. Because the last time he’d seen her, she’d simply been a kid. She’d been a kid who hadn’t dealt with trauma and loss well, who had panicked, who had hurt him. Because when they’d ended— no, they’d never ended. They had simply stopped. Ella had walked away because she was too broken-heartened, unable to deal with life. She just couldn’t… He snapped out of his trance before she did and stepped forward in a way that smacked of menace and anger. “Who the hell is Ella Leighton?”
