Announcement: New Cover For Ecstatic Evil (And Coupon For Free Copies To Celebrate!)
Hello my lovely readers!
One thing I believe as an indie author: it’s important to pay attention to constructive criticism. If you hear something over and over about a book from various sources, then it’s probably a valid critique. Now, most things I won’t go back and change on an old book; I’ll just apply them to future books. Two exceptions to that rule are: formatting and cover.
Well, Ecstatic Evil got fairly good reviews, but almost everyone commented on how much they didn’t like the cover. Also, since I discovered Smashwords and their clearer formatting guidelines, I redid the interior formatting. (It is so much prettier now on the kindle! One thing you can say for Smashwords: they are a bit more helpful to authors when it comes to formatting than kdp. But I digress).
In any case, I decided that A) I want to call attention to the fixed formatting issues (none of the story itself was changed) and B) I wanted to show readers and reviewers that I listen and C) I want my books to all have a certain vibe to them for branding purposes, even if they aren’t a part of the same series. So. I made an entire new cover!
This is the old cover:
And THIS is the new one:
:-D
I think this reflects the series better. The scale shows the choice between demon and fairy that Tova is faced with, the moon reflects how much of the story takes place at night (and involves shifters), and the silhouette style goes nicely with Waiting For Daybreak.
To celebrate I am offering up unlimited FREE copies of Ecstatic Evil from now until the end of June!!!!! The ebook versions available are: Kindle, epub, pdf, Sony Reader, RTF, plain text, palm doc, html, and javascript. Simply go to Ecstatic Evil’s Smashwords page, put it in your cart, and enter the 100% off coupon code at check-out:

I really do help you will join me in celebrating how much I’ve learned in the year since Ecstatic Evil first came out and that you like the new cover as much as I do!!
Cover Announcement
Hello my lovely readers!
I am beyond excited to inform you that the edits are FINISHED for my second novel entitled Waiting For Daybreak. It is 41,685 words. Yay!
The publication date is tentatively set for sometime in July. The exact date will be determined after I sit down and figure out the blog tour. (Please let me know if you’d be interested in participating in that!)
In the meantime, you can get a sneak peak via the cover, which was finished today. I hope you enjoy!
Announcement: 2012 Reading Project!
I decided I won’t make you guys wait as long as I originally said to find out what my 2012 project is going to be. I made the reading list, the button, and created the page, so why not announce it now and get participation commitments going?
So! The Opinions of a Wolf hosted 2012 reading project is…..*drum-roll*

Woo! *Applause*
The gist of it is, I am concerned and downright fed up with the state of health in America. Congress just declared pizza a vegetable! It is time we took the power over our own health out of the hands of the government, society, the FDA, hospitals, and put it back where it belongs. With us! To this end, using my librarian and book blogger skills, I carefully selected 12 nonfiction titles to read addressing a variety of topics from how your diet can prevent and reverse heart disease to how the food industry manipulates science to how to avoid processed foods. It’s a great list that I’m really excited to explore!!
The third Saturday of every month will be dedicated to a discussion (hosted by me) of the book of the month. In addition, I will do my best to also review one healthy cookbook or fitness book each month, and I invite you to do so as well!
You’ve got a month to get yourself signed up, spread the word, and gather the first couple of books on the list. You don’t have to have a blog to participate, but it would be awesome if you at least had a LibraryThing or GoodReads account to help create the buzz this information needs.
Just head on over to the dedicated Diet for a New America Reading Project 2012 page and leave a comment noting your intent to participate and a link to either your blog post announcing your participation or to your account on LibraryThing or GoodReads.
I’m super-excited for this project and hope you all are too!!
Publication Announcement: Short Story in 69 Flavors of Paranoia
Hello lovelies!
My short story “The Tale of Leroy of the Backwoods of Vermont” officially published in the online free magazine 69 Flavors of Paranoia late last night. 69 Flavors of Paranoia serves up “menus” of horror and dark/urban fantasy.
I’m super excited for the opportunity to be a part of 69 Flavors of Paranoia. I’m hoping to find my way to a whole new crop of horror fans.
