BEHIND HIS EYES - CONSEQUENCES COVER AND BLURB REVEAL and PRESALES LINK
It's coming!!! BEHIND HIS EYES - CONSEQUENCES will be released January 14, 2014!!!
Here is the blurb:
BEHIND HIS EYES – CONSEQUENCES is a reading companion, by New York Times and USA Today bestselling author Aleatha Romig, recommended to be read after completing all of the CONSEQUENCES SERIES: Consequences, Truth, and Convicted. It is not a standalone book and should not be read as such.
This companion was written to explore the thoughts and motivations of Anthony Rawlings, the man behind the consequences. It was not intended as a total rewrite of Consequences, but meant to enhance the reader’s understanding. BHE-Consequences contains significant scenes from the novel Consequences, as experienced from Anthony’s point of view. It also contains never before read, behind the scenes information, as well as, a glossary of the characters and a timeline devoted to the events within Consequences.
BEHIND HIS EYES CONSEQUENCES is a dark journey into the mind of the man who believes that he controls everything and controls nothing. Because there is more to learn about a man who:
Once upon a time, signed a napkin that he knew was a contract. As an esteemed businessman, he forgot one very important rule—he forgot to read the fine print. It wasn’t an acquisition to own another person as he’d previously assumed. It was an agreement to acquire a soul.
—Aleatha Romig CONVICTED
It was a long and painful acquisition—especially from Behind His Eyes!

LOOKING BACK ON 2013
Looking back on 2013
I'm not a big fan of "year in review" shows or articles...for some reason they make me sad...
I can NOT however enter 2014 without acknowledging 2013 for what it was and what it has meant to me.
It was the year that my life changed forever!
I can't believe that I just sent off my fourth book to my wonderful formatter and that it will be live in less than three weeks! I am floored and honored every time I see a list of authors or books and my name is among the ranks of authors I both admire and idolize. I am humbled when I go to a signing and I look up and see a line of people waiting to see -- ME? I am honored when I receive messages from readers who are touched by the words in my books, when they tell me stories of their life struggles and how Tony and Claire have helped them.
To be honest, I feel like I'm living someone else's life...I feel like this can't be real. I mean, how did this happen to me?
Consequences was released in August of 2011. During its first year of publication, it sold 536 copies! That is NOT the building block for a Trilogy...much less one that will hit both the New York Times and USA Today Bestselling lists.
Truth was released in October of 2012. With that, my world began to change.
Whether you were one of the first 536 readers (and if you were, I'm pretty sure my mom told you to read) or if you found me in late 2012 or into 2013...I can't express in words my gratitude for your devotion.
The wonderful world of book blogs...mostly Romance Book Blogs...found me. With that discovery...you changed my life. I'll never forget a "live chat" with Debra from the Book Enthusiast where I was asked if I would be in Boston for a signing. I didn't know anything about book signings and I had not been invited. My husband and I decided to just "go" and "see".
That decision was MONUMENTAL!
Readers learned that I planned to attend the signing and Trish Brinkley, signing planner extraordinaire, helped me to arrange a separate signing. It was my first author event and with that 2013 took me to a dozen different venues!
Thank you Boston, Massachusetts - Bradenton, Florida - Columbus, Ohio - Orlando, Florida - Atlanta, Georgia - San Francisco, California - Las Vegas, Nevada - Phoenix, Arizona - Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania - Toronto, Canada - New Haven, Connecticut - and Richmond, Virginia! You were all amazing!!!
During 2013 I became PAN "Published Author Network" in RWA. Consequences and Truth both reached bestseller status on Amazon, B&N, and Kobo...and the achievement that made me breakdown in tears at a local restaurant, Convicted hit New York Times bestseller.
As I closed one chapter on my life, working as a dental hygienist, I was warmed by the reception I received entering the world of a full-time author. The friendships that have developed with other authors and with readers and bloggers have broadened my world beyond the confines of my new office in Greenwood, Indiana. I KNOW that I have friends ALL OVER who would be there for me, as I would be for them. The support, pictures, collages, and videos that have been made for me...the word of mouth recommendations...I hope you all know...I am so grateful!
I recently had someone say to me, "Aren't you glad you decided to write a book? I mean, it seems like such an easy gig. You write a book and smile nicely at people. Who wouldn't want your job?"
lol! Well, let me just say...despite common belief, it isn't quite that easy. That person forgot one VERY important element to the equation. First you write a book and then...PEOPLE must READ it!
When I sum up my feelings toward the monumental milestones of 2013 I have to say, "THANK YOU FOR READING! THANK YOU FOR BUYING! THANK YOU FOR SHARING AND TELLING OTHERS!" One does not simply write a book and smile...writing takes long hours, sweat, and tears! There are many more of those than there are smiles. It also takes support.
"THANK YOU FOR GIVING ME THAT SUPPORT!"
I can only hope that 2014 continues this amazing journey! I can't wait to see what is in store!
To all my readers...HAPPY NEW YEAR! MAY YOUR 2014 BE EVERYTHING MY 2013 WAS AND MORE!!!!
Love,
Aleatha

TRIVIA TIME
Fun bit of trivia....
I can't write short books.
The BHE companions were supposed to be novellas. A novella by definition is 40,000 words or less. BHE Consequences is 62,156, BHE TRUTH is 74,110, and I just finished BHE Convicted: The Missing Years...ready...96,582!!!
Now, keep in mind those still pale in comparison to my original series:
CONSEQUENCES was 165,000, TRUTH was 195,000 and CONVICTED was 172,000.
Look at it this way...when you buy my books, you get your moneys worth!!!

NO LONGER A COMPANION
So...have you ever said never and regretted it??
When I completed CONVICTED I wrote a note at the end of the book. In that note I thanked my wonderful readers and said that the CONSEQUENCES Series was complete, to use your imagination at what the future would bring. When I wrote that, I meant every word.
Then, I began writing the "Companions".
The Behind His Eyes Series was meant for one thing...to answer the question "What the hell was Tony thinking?" I mean, I knew what he was thinking, but he didn't always spell it out. The reviews for the companions have been great! I did my best to not be redundant and give you some never before seen information, behind the scenes, if you will.
Fast forward...I began writing the final "companion". It wasn't easy. I'd already given it the subtitle THE MISSING YEARS. I struggled and struggled and then BOOM! My fingers couldn't move fast enough. I was no longer only in Tony's head, but I understood that HIS meant male POV.
Suddenly the story is coming at me from Brent, Harry, John, Phil, and of course Tony! The two years in Convicted while Claire is "sleeping", that we only heard about came out in these multiple men's POV's. And I love it!
It is almost 100,000 words (longer than many novels out there today). It takes the reader to places that even I didn't know about.
My little "companion" grew into a novel!
So...what to do?
This is what I'm doing. I have renumbered my series. Consequences - Book 1, Truth - Book 2, Convicted - Book 3, and Behind His Eyes Convicted: THE MISSING YEARS - Book 4. The companions: Behind His Eyes Consequences - Book 1.5 and Behind His Eyes Truth - Book 2.5.
The companions were written with love and sweat. I don't want to minimize their significance to my series. HOWEVER, THE MISSING YEARS is in a whole different category.
It is MANDATORY reading for anyone who has completed Consequences, Truth, and Convicted. I apologize for the confusion but not for the end result.
THE MISSING YEARS answers every question and allows readers a first-hand experience at what was only previously mentioned...see Tony's trials and struggles with conviction. Be there as Harry figures out the connection that he doesn't want to make. Watch as John struggles with his past and present feelings regarding his brother-in-law and as Emily makes important decisions. It is ALL there! And more.
THE MISSING YEARS doesn't end with Convicted's epilogue. NO!! THE MISSING YEARS goes beyond into the lives of everyone who was affected by a man who...
Once upon a time, signed a napkin that he knew was a contract. As an esteemed businessman, he forgot one very important rule—he forgot to read the fine print. It wasn’t an acquisition to own another person as he’d previously assumed. It was an agreement to acquire a soul. —Aleatha Romig, CONVICTED
Book #4 of the Consequences Series is now available for presale on Amazon. And will be available everywhere May 20, 2014.
PLEASE do NOT miss this complete story...book #4...the final piece to the CONSEQUENCES SERIES!

bhe convicted THE MISSING YEARS IS a NEW STORY
I realize that there is a trend to "rewrite" stories from another POV and the story is essentially the same. I promise that is not the case with Behind His Eyes Convicted: THE MISSING YEARS (Way too long of a title...but I was stuck with my ISBN#...that's another story)
THE MISSING YEARS is everything you only "heard" about in Convicted told through the important men in Claire's life. It is a full-length novel that spans the 2 missing years and into Tony and Claire's future.
I want to shout it from the roof tops.
"This is not the same story!! Please read!!"
I will admit that writing this book was hard. I didn't want to go to some of the places I went, but I did. And now that it's done, I SO want everyone who read Convicted to read this.
You do NOT need to have read the other companions. This is NOT a companion. It is book #4.
And here's a secret...it will be rereleased with a new one word title and an new cover in about a month. At that time the price will go to $4.99 to match Truth and Convicted, because, yes, it's that good and that complete.
So...with that knowledge...jump on board NOW and get the "long title version" of Behind His Eyes Convicted: THE MISSING YEARS for only $3.99.
This is the book you MUST have after Convicted!!!
