I know I’ve been teasing you guys with this for a while but I am finally able to make an announcement that I hope you will be as excited about as I am.
You all know I’ve been working on an as yet untitled Egyptian themed book for my new publisher Random House and that it isn’t set to publish until the fall of 2015. That’s a long time for you all to wait for new material from me, so last fall I talked with my agent Alex (you can all send him gift baskets later) about the possibility of getting something out in the interim. He proposed the idea of doing a novella set in the world of Tiger’s Curse. After thinking about it for a while, we came up with the idea of telling a story I know you’ve all been dying to get your hands on. Therefore, without further ado, I give you…
TIGER’S PROMISE
a prequel novella in the Tiger’s Curse series
coming
June 1st 2014!
Before the curse, there was a promise. A prequel to the bestselling Tiger’s Curse series, this much anticipated novella recalls the beginning of Ren and Kishan’s story. Before Kelsey there was a girl, raised by a villain, whose love for a hero changed the course of history.
Trapped under the thumb of her abusive and powerful father Lokesh, Yesubai struggles to keep her own magical abilities secret while evading his dark powers. When Lokesh promises Yesubai to the prince of a neighboring kingdom, she becomes the central pawn in his plot to destroy the ruling family and take power for himself. Yesubai is trapped by her father’s threats and desperate to protect the man she comes to love, but she knows that any decision she makes will have dire consequences. As dark forces gather around her, Yesubai must decide if she’s willing to reveal that somewhere deep within her she has the power to change everything.
_______________________________
I’m so excited about this book I can’t even tell you. I think you’ll all love it and it will give you an entirely new perspective on Yesubai’s story.
We are planning lots of fun events and giveaways in anticipation of the release including a blog tour, a cover reveal (Cliff Neilson, the artist who did my other covers, is hard at work on it right now), a Q & A video, and even a few very special hard copies that will be given out to some lucky fans. Stay tuned to my blog, Facebook page, and Twitter for exciting news and information as we get ready to launch this new novella.
Pre-order pages will be available soon on Amazon, Kobo, and iBooks.
To get ready for the Q & A video, I’d love it if some of you could leave a comment here with whatever burning questions about the novella you might have. I’ll try to answer as many of them as I can on the upcoming video.
