Everyone else: eARCs are still available on a read-to-review basis. Just message me your email and preferred format :) I'm also planning one last paperback ARC giveaway before publication date, so you still have a chance to win.

Lastly, if anyone is interested in a signed character card, all you have to do is pre-order the ebook for 0.99 by Oct. 30th. Everyone who pre-orders gets a signed card with a character of your choice and automatically enters the lottery for more fun prizes! Details here.

Happy reading!

Giveaway prizes mailed!

2780 participant, 1 winner. Congratulations to Erica! Your signed book and postcards are in the mail!



I've also sent out all prizes from the pre-order giveaway. I don't want to imagine what the poor lady working at the post office thought when I showed up with a huge backpack, opened it, and poured 11 parcels, addressed to 10 different countries, on the counter :D

Enjoy your gifts!

Goodreads giveaway goodies on the way!

Congratulations to Ciro, who won a signed Kingdom of Ashes paperback, sighed character cards, and more!



To be honest, I wasn't planning another Goodreads giveaways until the book's one year anniversary. Then I thought that maaaaaybe in the super unlikely case that 4,000 or more people enter the giveaway, I should really do another one.

How many do you think entered?

5,691

I'm humbled and blown away. And I'm sooo doing another Goodreads giveaway right now! It opens next week!

Okay, I realize the chances to win a Goodreads giveaways may be pretty slim. But you know what Giveaway is super easy to win? My much smaller and cozier Cover Reveal Giveaway! It's open until Feb. 15th! And if you win, you'll get not just a book, but also fun prizes, such as this bookish bag:




Guys, have I mentioned I send chocolate with my books?

In case I haven't, let me say it:

I SEND CHOCOLATE WITH ALL MY BOOKS!

None of the chocolates you see on the pictures are for me. They are all for YOU!

If you're expecting goodies for me and can't eat chocolate for whatever reason, please let me know and I'll replace it by whatever you prefer!

Happy reading and good luck in the giveaways! <3

It's the season of gift giving!

I’m in the mood for gift giving!



A couple of things have been happening:

1) Today, April 30th, Kingdom of Ashes celebrates its half-year anniversary. Time flies!

2) My birthday is coming up next Friday, May 5th. And, since I’m a huge Tolkien fan, I want to honor the Hobbit tradition of giving gifts to your guests on your own birthday.

What does this mean for you?

I’ve set up a giveaway for a signed Kingdom of Ashes paperback. The winner will also get exclusive character cards, fun bookish gifts, and, of course, chocolate.

Enter here!

Unlike Goodreads giveaways, where thousands of people enter, my giveaways are small and cozy and you have high chances of winning :)

Also, for those of you who haven’t read Kingdom of Ashes yet, but would like to, I’m giving away free ebooks between May 1 and May 30. Just message me your email and preferred format.

Happy reading! <3

Where am I? Solve this riddle to win a SIGNED Men and Monsters paperback

Throne of Blood, Book 3 in the Nightfall series, is approaching completion, and I can already tell you a secret...

Chapter One, "Legend" will be the first chapter in the series from Vlad's point of view. While we have seen his story in Men and Monsters, we hear it through Myra and through what he chooses to tell her. Now, for the first time, we will properly get inside his head.

I have two questions for you, and if you answer correctly, you'll enter a lottery to win a Men and Monsters signed paperback!

1. Where is Vlad in the opening chapter of Throne of Blood?
2. What is he doing there?

How on earth should you know that, you ask. Simple! You just need to guess where I am:

Free eBooks between May 1st and 10th!

Hi everyone!

If you've followed me in the past, you must know by now that I respect one old hobbit tradition: giving gifts to others on one's own birthday!



And as my birthday is coming up on May 5th, I will be giving away free copies of Kingdom of Ashes and Men and Monsters!



Book 3, Throne of Blood, is coming out later this year, so that's a great opportunity to catch up with the series for free before release date 😊

All you need to do is send me a Goodreads message with "Free eBooks" in the subject line between May 1st and May 10th.

Please include the following:

- Your preferred format (mobi, epub or pdf)
- An email where you'd like to receive it

Happy reading! 💖
