Chapter 6 - Return to the Forest

I meant to get this up this weekend, but...time got away from me with all my anniversary celebrations. :) You can see my post all about my anniversary at the Windtree Press blog today.

So, here's the next chapter in the saga. By the way, someone asked if all these pictures at the beginning of each chapter are going to be in the print book. The answer is No. These are pics I chose or put together just to add some interest to your advanced reading. I didn't do anything past Chapter 8, and the publisher does not have the time or inclination to hire someone to do all the chapters. So enjoy them while you can!

If you are just finding this blog, you may want to go back and read the book from the start. Here are links to each posting. These sample chapters are from the eARC, which means it is an uncorrected copy.Typos and such are still going through copy-editing and will be corrected in the final book released June 8, 2013!

Enjoy!

Coupons Gone But Sale Still On

In a previous post I talked about using a coupon code to pre-order the first two books in my YA Fantasy series about the Forest People and get a 78% discount. Well, the coupons are no longer available.

But never fear! Windtree Press is keeping the books on sale at 99 cents each through June 30th. Instead of having to enter a coupon, you simply click on the title and you can purchase it for only 99 cents. Much easier, right?

Windtree Press offers ebooks in all reader formats, MOBI for Kindle, PDF for tablets and desktop computers, and EPUB for all other readers (e.g., Kobo, Nook, Sony, etc.) and tablets and computers. Never downloaded a file that wasn't at Amazon or Nook or Kobo originally. Not a problem. Windtree Press also offers a handy FAQ (frequently asked questions) section to help you load the file onto your reader.

The next chapter of Chameleon: The Awakening will be posted at the end of the week. Enjoy the sale!

Chapter 5 - The Escape AND Cover Reveal for Book 2

It's here! It's here! Another amazing cover from Christy Caughie. This one is for the second book in the Forest People series, Chameleon: The Choosing. Are you wondering about the dead guy covered in lichen? If so, you need to pick up the book ASAP.

Here's the short version of the blurb:

Having survived the Kintala, Camryn knows two things: 1) her feelings about Ohar or Dagger can't be trusted; and 2) her newly found magical powers are darn scary and out of control. The first step is to bond with the most powerful creature in the universe, a thunder dragon. The choosing is never easy, and only the worthy are chosen. In her first battle with the Agnoses, Camryn must first face her own inner demons in order to save the Forest People. She must learn to resist the call of the Abaddon, or risk the price of letting it take her. Death.

For those who are reading along, this week I'm also posting Chapter 5 of the first book, Chameleon: The Awakening. If you've been following my posts, with this chapter you now have 126 free pages you've read. You are nearing the half way point of the book. Only two more chapters and it will be release time. Stay tuned for some special deals for people who read my blog or visit me on Facebook. OR, for those who want to be the first to find out about deals, check out the Windtree Press Sales and Coupons page. You won't believe the deal on these two books during May and June if you use the coupon code there.
