[ETA: The virtual launch that was scheduled tonight has been cancelled due to Sandy. Sandy, the hurricane, not Sandy me. I’m safe and dry in Texas. We’ll reschedule soon!]
[ETA again: The Kindle version of THE SHATTERED DARK isn’t available until next week for some reason. I’m working on getting this fixed, but NY isn’t quite up and running yet, so I’m not sure when it will get changed to the correct date. Very sorry for the inconvenience! It is available on the Nook and in bookstores!]
It’s release day! *throws confetti*
I’m so excited that you guys are finally going to get a chance to read THE SHATTERED DARK! I hope you love it as much as I do. McKenzie grows as a character in this book, and her relationship with a certain hot fae guy deepens as they work through some issues, get to know each other better, and as they fight a civil war.
If you need a break from everything that’s going on this week, I hope you’ll pick it up. Or, if you haven’t read THE SHADOW READER, give that one a try first! There’s a little bit of romance and adventure to take your mind off things.
And if hot fae guys aren’t your thing, here are some other books that hit the shelves today!
OUT FOR BLOOD by Kristen Painter
A TRACE OF MOONLIGHT by Allison Pang
GHOST PLANET by Sharon Lynn Fisher
Hi Sandy! Congratulations on your books! I told my mom about them, as she works in a high school library, but she said that the kids don’t want to read anything unless there is an accelerated reader test to go along with it :(That makes me sad as a book-a-holic. I was wondering if you had heard of this AR stuff (I’m too old to have had it in high school…we just had Book-It from Pizza Hut in grade school), and if you had any tests for your books?
Tell Trey high for me!
Hi Chrissy! *waves*
Oh, yeah. AR tests. They didn’t have them when I was in school, but they had them when I taught high school and when I was an elementary librarian. I had the same problem – kids wouldn’t read the book unless there was a test. So basically, I didn’t buy any books unless a test was offered. Sad, I know. A ton of money goes toward AR.
You know, I think there was a way to create a test for a book. I did it once or twice, and I gave kids the option of creating their own test if one wasn’t already offered. Hmm. Maybe I should create an AR test for The Shadow Reader.
