Now Available: The TAKE ME TO YOUR READER Anthology

 

I'm beyond honored to be participating in a short story anthology with fellow authors Amy A. Bartol, Tammy Blackwell, Amanda Havard, Heather Hildenbrand, Tiffany King, C.A. Kunz, and Sarah M. Ross. The anthology, titled Take Me to Your Reader, is a collaboration of short stories featuring aliens, and all proceeds will go to benefit the UtopYA Conference in Nashville. We all love the conference's founder, Janet Wallace, and her amazing team, and since the theme of this year's conference is aliens, we all decided to create this anthology to show our support.

Regina Wamba with MaeiDesign created the beautiful cover, and K.P. Simmon with Inkslinger PR is helping with the promotion of the anthology. This has been a group effort, but I'd personally like to thank Tiffany King and her awesome hubby, Karl, for putting so much time and effort into making this happen. You both ROCK!

For those of you who know that my next book is Return of the Ascendant (releasing on Monday), you may be interested to note that the prequel short story, The Ascendant, will only appear in this anthology. If you're ready to learn more about Kyra and Ty's story, be sure to grab your copy today!

Meet the Characters: RETURN OF THE ASCENDANT by Raine Thomas

Howdy, y'all! With February approaching, I wanted to share some news about my upcoming release, Return of the Ascendant. This book will be released on February 17th as part of a New Adult Paranormal Romance Boxed Set with fellow authors Kristie Cook, Lynn Rush, R.K. Ryals, and Rachael Wade. More details about the boxed set (including links to pre-order) will come your way on February 12th!

I'll mention that Return of the Ascendant is a New Adult Paranormal Romance with Sci-Fi elements. It starts out on Earth and then transitions to a planet called Alametria. The focus of the story is on the romance between the main characters, KyrVawn (Kyra Vaughn on Earth) and TaeDane (Ty Dane). Regardless of which world they're on, the chemistry between these two is undeniable, so I thought it would be fun to introduce you to them!

Before I write a book, I always create detailed character sketches and develop an outline. Today, I wanted to share the highlights with you about Kyr and Ty to give you a hint of what's to come in the book. I hope you enjoy!

KyrVawn

From http://newerablue.com/dark-red-hair/

• Daughter and only child of ShayaVawn and BrunyrVawn (the Guardians of Alametria); she’s the heir apparent and future "ruler of worlds."
• Bears the title Ma'jah.
• Delicate in appearance, but not in demeanor.
• Long, wavy dark hair with a deep red tint, ice blue eyes (like blue-white stars), 5’5” tall.
• Intelligent and passionate about learning.
• Lacks confidence, which she'll need in order to Ascend.
• An excellent judge of character; burgeoning Empath.
• Has been attracted to Ty since she was old enough to see him as a man and not a boy.

 

TaeDane

http://celebmancrushblog.com/2011/06/08/wellness-coach-jessie-pavelka/

• Paired with Kyr as her Mynder (bodyguard) as a child because they were born on the same date, at the same time, under the same star.
• Spiky, caramel-colored hair, silver eyes, 6’5” tall, muscular build, tan skin.
• Physically and mentally powerful; has the ability to connect with Kyr’s thoughts and has been trained to protect her.
• Has extensive markings on both forearms, given on the day he officially became the Dem-Shyr (his formal title) and assumed his abilities.
• He's expressly forbidden from touching Kyr in ways other than for her protection. If he does, his markings cause him intense pain.
• He doesn't care about the above-mentioned pain. ;)

The Legacy of Kilkenny

 For sixteen years, my life has been normal. Piedsville, Oklahoma isn't the tourist mecca of the world, but it's where I live. It's my junior year and I've known everyone since Kindergarten, everyone except her, Pru Phelan. She walked into my English class, my heart stopped. I'd never heard the name Phelan before, so I Googled it and found Phelan means wolf. What I didn't know, she was a werewolf and soon my destiny would change.

This is the story about the prophecy of the Great Wolf and how it relates to me. I'm Abel Casey, and I am the Great Wolf.

The Legacy of Kilkenny is a young adult story about werewolves, friendship, family, and fear.

About the Author

  I've thought of myself as a writer for as long as I can remember. Being a grown up with a grown up job and a family to raise, left me with little time to write. Everyone is grown up now, and I get to do something I want to do. My love of young adult books helped mold me into the paranormal writer I am today.

    The Legacy of Kilkenny Saga is near and dear to my heart.  When I started the series, my own son was a junior in high school and Abel has many of his characteristics.  Each character has a little of my daughter and son in them.  I wanted the series to be about friendship and family, two things that are important to me.  The first book really takes the reader on a journey with Abel as he matures.  By the time you get to The Great Wolf, you will see a transformed young man and the decisions how he handles the pressure of being a werewolf.  I hope you enjoy the Legacy books, 

  Thank you to all of the readers who have fallen for my wolf pack!
