Penelope King's Blog

Hi everyone,
I’ve had several readers write me wondering why they can’t find my books on Barnes & Noble (nook) or some other platform (Kobo, iTunes)… recently I made the very tough decision to make all my novels exclusive to Amazon so that they could be part of the Kindle Unlimited program and the lending library. While it was a very hard choice for me because I hate limiting access to any readers, it was a business decision I had to make, and it is possible that in the future the books will be available on those other book sites again.
But for now, they are only available to download through Amazon, and the good news is that if you have Kindle Unlimited or the Prime, you can read all my books for FREE. And I still get paid for them which is great because that enables me to keep doing what I love, which is writing books! So if you have Kindle, great… if not, I know there is free app or ways to get it… the paperbacks are always still available (for most titles), and if for some reason none of this works for you, please drop me a message so we can figure something out. I value each and every one of my readers and would hate for you to not be able to access the story that you have grown attached to.
Thanks for your support.XOXOPK

Cady is running away from a life that doesn’t want her anymore. Colton Lassiter is trying to put the pieces of his back together again the only way he knows how: women, booze, and working on his classic cars. Owner of the local garage and former motorcycle racing champ, he has more scars than tattoos, inside and out.

He’s vowed to never lose himself to another woman ever again. And the last thing he wants…or expects… is some prissy little conservative wanna-be lawyer chick showing up and turning his world upside down. And the last thing Cady wants…or needs… is some damaged bad-boy turning her life into even more of a disaster than it already is… especially when both of them have dark secrets they’d like to keep buried.
 
But the past has a funny way of showing back up again.
Things are about to get dirty…

Excited to announce the upcoming release of "The Dirty South" a New Adult contemporary romantic drama.
No, this isn't the sexiest cover ever, but I like it. However, it is intended for mature readers as it has more language and steamy scenes than my YA novels. So please be aware when buying this book that it is intended for ages 18+.

It is availble for preorder now, which is cool because you can get it and then forget about it until that magical evening when it pops up on your e-reader (Oct 5/6 at midnight). Also, the price is very low now but will go up once it is officially released. And who doesn't love a good sale??

Amazon - Kindle
B&N - Nook
iTunes - iBooks 
 Smashwords (PDF, Mobi, Epub, etc..) 
 Kobo - coming soon
I can't wait for you to meet Cady and Colton. They've been some of the most fun characters I've ever had the pleasure of working with :)

Synopsis:

For Cadence St. Claire, so far her twenties really suck. She’s lost her bff and her fiancé, and those job offers she was counting on after graduating from law school just aren’t coming in. In fact, there’s only been one—a pity offer from her father’s old friend in Sweet Oak, South Carolina…. a world away from the privileged life she’s used to.

Cady is running away from a life that doesn’t want her anymore. Colton Lassiter is trying to put the pieces of his back together again the only way he knows how: women, booze, and working on his classic cars. Owner of the local garage and former motorcycle racing champ, he has more scars than tattoos, inside and out.

He’s vowed to never lose himself to another woman ever again. And the last thing he wants…or expects… is some prissy little conservative wanna-be lawyer chick showing up and turning his world upside down. And the last thing Cady wants…or needs… is some damaged bad-boy turning her life into even more of a disaster than it already is, especially when both of them have dark secrets they're desperate to keep hidden.

But the past always has a funny way of showing back up again when you least expect it to.

Things are about to get dirty…

Hi Guys,
So I get a lot of you wondering where the next Demon is. (Curse of Shadows and Light). Believe me that more than anyone I wish it was done and published already, and I feel terrible that it is so behind the schedule I’d announced earlier. At times, when it comes to writing, my ambition and optimism don’t always meet reality. I know some authors can whip out a book every month or two…and unfortunately that is not me. This is a complex world with some pretty crazy characters and with how the storyline has developed, it is taking a bit more meticulous plotting rather than just “winging it”.
Due to external forces, for several months I was hardly able to work on it at all. Now I am working on it full-time. My goal is to have it out well before the end of the year. I hate to give a definitive date until everything is 100% done and there can be no chance of me being wrong…again. I hate disappointing my readers more than anything, and thank you all for your never-ending patience. I’m busting my bootie to make sure that you get your payoff!!
I will be announcing the tentative, then the official, release dates in the near future here, on Facebook, and on Twitter. You can find the links to follow me on the “about me” section of this site. Also, you can sign up via email on the upper right hand corner to be notified of any new blog posts from me here. 
There is some great news via Smashwords that I think is pretty cool…Pre-orders will be available through Barnes & Noble, Apple iBooks, and Kobo, for those of you who use those platforms (sorry, no Kindle yet). This way you can order it, and the second the title is released it will appear on your device. How cool!
I have to say that I really love you guys and all your support you’ve shown me and my books over the years. I want to make sure this reading experience is as amazing and memorable as possible, so thank you for giving me the opportunity to work on it a bit more.

p.s. Bones says Hi  :)

Hey everybody!I’m so happy to be able to announce to you that “LoveSpell: The prequel novel to the Spellbound Trilogy” will be released on Wed, June 26th!! I’m SO excited to have you guys read this, and I think that fans of the series will really enjoy getting to know Gabriella. She is quite the character, and there are secrets revealed that we never knew before.




The one spell that started it all…
Gabriella Havish has everything a girl could want: beauty, wealth, powers, friends, and a loving family.  But there is one thing she wants above all else ... James Dalton.  Too bad the sexy warlock is not only from an enemy coven, he barely knows she's alive.
So Gabriella makes a deal ... and suffers the devastating consequences. She's just a girl in love, but she soon discovers that true love can't be found in a magic bottle. She has no idea that one spell will forever change the course of her destiny, and that her nightmare is just beginning.
This is the story before the story…Find out what really happened to Gabriella all those years ago.
***AUTHOR’S NOTE: Although this novel precedes the Spellbound Trilogy, it is intended to be read AFTER reading the series as it reveals many important spoilers and plot twists that will diminish the reading experience of Spellbound.***

Enjoy!!xoxoPenelope

Hi Everyone! :-)
Well, the countdown is here...Spellbound #3, "Dawn of the Morningstar" is almost done, and we just got the cover finalized tonight! It is soo beautiful and perfect and I can't wait for y'all to see it. I'll probably do the reveal in about a week or so, here and on my Facebook page (If you haven't "friended" me, do it! ;)).

I've had so many of you ask when exactly "Dawn of the Morningstar" will be published. We are looking at Mid-December right now, but the best way to get the up-to-date info is to sign up your email in the little email box on the upper right hand corner of the home page. That way when I post the exact date you will be the first one notified! And don't worry about me clogging up your inbox with posts...as you can see, I'm not much of a blogger ;-)

Also, the whole Spellbound Trilogy will be available as a bundle e-book (all three books in one) at a small discount, so if you haven't started the series yet, it will be a great time to try!
  
I just want to thank you all again for the amazing support and kind words you've sent my way. I'm blown away by how many people have embraced both the Spellbound Trilogy and the Demonblood Series, and it is my absolute pleasure to share these stories with you.

XOXO
Penelope
