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.

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!

•  Prologue 
•  First half of Chapter 1 - The End
•  Second half of Chapter 1 - The End
•  Chapter 2 - The Prophecy
•  Chapter 3 - Sweet Sixteen
•  Chapter 4 -  The Plan

Enjoy!

Chameleon Cover Reveal and Chapter 3 - Sweet Sixteen Available

Hooray! Ta Da!  My book cover for the first Chameleon Book is now done.  Special thanks go out to amazing cover artist, Christy Caughie at Gilded Heart Design.

It's time for Chapter 3. Like last week I'm posting it in it's entirety, instead of dividing it into two parts.  Several people have written me privately and said they prefer reading an entire chapter instead of ten pages at a time.  So that will be the way I post future chapters as well.

Review Copies Are Gone
The 50 review copies Windtree Press provided for me to give directly to readers of this blog and my Facebook page have now been assigned, so there are no more eARCs to giveaway at this time. Thank you to everyone who signed up! You will be getting an email from NetGalley in early May describing how to download your copy.  I'm really looking forward to reading your reviews.

Other Giveaway Opportunities
I will be doing a giveaway of three print books of both Book 1 and Book 2 on GoodReads in May and June. Watch my FB page for when that is posted.

I'll also be doing a pre-release blog tour with Beyond Words Book Tours in mid-May which will include a giveaway of the special necklace Camryn wears in the book AND a coupon to each commenter to purchase eBook 1 and eBook 2 for only 99 cents each.  That is quite a deal considering the regular ebook price is $4.50 each. Sorry, no discounts on the print book. :(

The necklace is pewter (see the picture) and comes with a leather thong, instead of a chain, and a scroll describing the meaning of this magical owl. You'll learn about this necklace in the chapter posted today. The owl is a special spirit animal for Camryn which serves as a warning and guiding spirit.


Now, enjoy Chapter 3!

Chapter 2

This week I'm posting all of Chapter 2 at once, instead of dividing it into two parts.  The past two weeks and this coming week have been pretty crazy for me, both for writing deadlines and a death in my family. I'm not sure with all that is scheduled this coming week that I'll be able to get back and post again.  So enjoy!


If you are just finding this blog, you may want to go back and read  the Prologue , the the first half of Chapter 1. and the second half of Chapter 1 before tackling Chapter 2.

Chapter 3 will be released the third week of April. 

If you are interested in receiving a free advanced reading copy of the book and will post an honest review, please contact me at my email, maggie AT maggiefaire DOT com. In late April, Windtree Press will be sending out at least 50 review copies to readers and bloggers.

As always I love hearing from you.  If you prefer getting entire chapters at once instead of having them broken up. Let me know.

Chapter 1 - The End

Here is the first half of Chapter 1 for my YA Fantasy, Chameleon: The Awakening, which will be released in May.  If you haven't already read the Prologue, go back and read that so you know the set up.  Again, I'd love to hear your feedback. Do you want to see more?

If using the reader is too small of print for you, clicking on the far right arrow, in the black box, will open the PDF file in a new page and full size.  If that still doesn't work, you may need to download Adobe reader. It is a free program.
