Cover Reveal - A Raven's Revenge

I've been in the writing gig for quite a while now and while I usually stick to myself, a few years back I traded work with some other authors and did developmental/beta-read edits for them. One of those authors was Linda Bloodworth. We became friends bonding over not only our books but our shared love for anything Sailor Moon related. Anyway's, I read through her book A Raven's Touch, a kick-ass story about a half-angel fighting the forces of evil. She published that book a year afterward in 2015, and today I have the absolute honour of letting everyone know that she is finally releasing the sequel! 

A Raven's Revenge 
Hell hath no fury like an angel scorned. Justice St. Michaels is on a mission from God to avenge her parents' death, even if it means hunting Seliki to the depths of Hell. Justice and her powerful friends won't back down until His will is done. Can an angel, witch, vampire and elf take on Hell and come out alive?

I have to admit, this cover is fantastic. I don't know who the cover artist was, but they deserve a pat on the back for this one. 

The novel will be out on October 24th, but you can pre-order your copy now. If you're looking for something to read before then, you can pick up the first book in the series as well. Links for both are below.

A Raven’sRevenge $3.99 ebook and $12.99 paperback

A Raven’s Touch $0.99 ebook and $12.99 paperback

Linda Bloodworth is hosting a cover reveal party on FB today (October 4th) and will be hosting a release day party on FB on its release date. Check out the links if you're interested!

What can you expect in A Raven's Touch?
Adventure, friendship, and bit of romance mixed into a very different kind of paranormal story. It's not the formulaic story where there's one type of paranormal hero. Be prepared for Half Angels, Witches, Elves, demons, and a dragon for good measure.

Sample:

       Moira squeezes my arm. 

“We need to get up. Come on. We aren’t going to be sitting ducks. He looks like he wants to start trouble.”  

My heart starts beating faster and I stand up. Moira has already packed her bag, and she pushes mine into my hands. With her hand on the small of my back, she urges me along.  

“It’s a public place, Moira, he won’t hurt us here. He’s all talk, right?”
She looks me in the eyes.  

“Don’t underestimate crazy.”  

We hear a low wolf howl that causes a ripple of fear to flow through me. I stop momentarily. No way is that for us, surely not.

Cover Reveal Countdown Day 1: A Raven's Touch

Today we're counting down to the cover reveal of A Raven's Touch, by Linda Bloodworth. Check out the final sample from the story below.

Sample:

“You’re mind blowing." he whispers.

         “Not really. I just have a temper.” I laugh.

         He leans closer until our faces are mere inches apart. My breathing becomes labored as his proximity is too must to bear. I close my eyes and find his lips pressing against mine. With gentle pressure, I meet his lips, reveling in the sweet delight that his touch incites. Sparks fly down my back, and back up to where our mouths meet.

         I feel so hot I want to ignite into a flame. He holds me tight cooling me down with his natural chill. Where flame meets ice, there’s steam, and I can barely restrain myself from wanting to go further. My hands grabs at him as my mouth searches for more. Ever so kindly, he holds my hands down and pulls away.

Today we're counting down to the cover reveal of A Raven's Touch, by Linda Bloodworth. For the next few days, get closer to the cover and read a different sample each day.

Sample:

My nerves start taking hold, and I tremble slightly.

         “I will protect you with all that I am. No harm will come to you,” Darien says.

         I look Darien's way, and he risks a quick glance from the road. For that brief moment, our eyes connect, and I see him—really see him—and he's scared. No way I’m going to let anyone else I care about get hurt.  

         “Seliki is the one who should be worried,” I crack my knuckles. A flash of heat runs wickedly through my body. The entire car heats up, and Darien lifts his arm to shield himself.

         “Save your heat for Seliki. Kindly try not to cook my car seats, thank you,” he says, teasing me.

The officer nods and scribbles in his note pad. 

“You’re going to have to come with me.”

“What?” I ask.

“Let’s go,” the officer says, guiding me by my elbow back down the hall. 

“Hey! You can’t do that!” Moira shouts. 

Immediately, two officers block her view from me and hold Moira back. 

“Justice! You don’t have to talk to them! You have rights!” 

Moira belts out as I'm being led away. I look back to see her coils of red hair bouncing as her eyes peek over the policemen in time to give me one last look of concern.

A Raven's Touch Cover Reveal Day Four

It has been too long... sorry guys. Nanowrimo kicked my butt this year. I made my wordcounts daily and finished the month with 68,635 words and, more importantly, achieved my goal of finishing my novel. To date, this is the only novel that I have officially finished during Nanowrimo.

Perhaps unsurprisingly, I took the next week off.

Or at least, that was my plan. I ended up either working overtime, or having plans or both everyday. It tired me out to say the least. I'm back though and ready to blaze on to meet my goals. This week those include writing a synopsis rough draft (*hiss*boo*), reading and cleaning my house. Easy goals.

My third goal is something for all of you!

Nearly a year ago, my friend Linda Bloodworth and I agreed to exchange novels and do a critique on them for the other person. Now, I am very glad to say, she has finished the process and will be releasing the novel this month on December 28th! Follow this link to pre-order/purchase the book (depending on when you read this)!

To get the word out, she is doing a cover reveal! I'll be counting down for the rest of the days until it comes out!

What do you think so far?
