Tracey Martin's Blog

I don't know if anyone is going to see this, but if you do and you like my books and contemporary romance, my pen name is now on Goodreads and so is her book!

Heart on a Leash has forbidden love, feuding families, and three adorable huskies. Should you enjoy that sort of thing, please consider adding it and sending a friend request or following Alanna for future updates.

It's officially official, and I'm so excited to finally be able to announce it - I have a new book coming out! Three Dog Summer is the first in a contemporary romance series (adult, not YA) featuring two feuding families and some seriously adorable rescue huskies. I also have a new name to go with it.

The full announcement is up on my website at alannamartin.com. Stay tuned for more news. I can't wait to share these new books!

If you haven’t heard by now, Samhain will be closing at the end of the month. I’m forever grateful to Samhain for becoming my first publisher when my editor pulled my urban fantasy story, then called Wicked Miserable, out of the slush.

If you bought any of my books through Samhain’s site, it would be a good time to back them up. And if you’re in the middle of reading either my Miss Misery or RedZone series, you might want to get your hands on the sequels soon. Samhain is beginning to remove books from vendors.

Jess and Lucen, and Sophia and Kyle will be republished eventually. I’m thinking about options, and I hope to have a plan soon.

As always, thank you to everyone who’s read (and maybe taken the time to review) my books!

I've got another giveaway going for signed copies of Skid. I love all my books (usually), but this one is the nearest and dearest to my heart. You can enter here.

Yesterday I was on the Diversity in YA blog talking about why Skid's MC lives with chronic pain. You read it here.

And I'm still doing a Skid giveaway. You've got a couple more days left to enter.

We have a cover! With trees, and a crow, and mysterious lights! I think it does such a great job at capturing the mood.

Skid

As I've mentioned before, this book is one that hits close to my heart. While I do have some chronic pain issues, they are nowhere near as bad as Gabrielle's. Her injuries are based on those of two people very close to me, two people who have seen their lives dramatically altered because of back pain. It was important to me to show how a girl could still take charge of her life even when so much was beyond her control.

Aside from the pain issue, Skid also takes on two of my favorite things--apple orchards and ghost stories. There's something so otherworldly about orchards. I don't know what it is exactly, but I think I came closest to describing what I mean when Gabrielle refers to the Tennyson Orchard as being like Avalon, aka The Isle of Apples. It's a magical place out of time. That just goes hand-in-hand with ghost stories too, and the fight between our rational selves that insist there's no such thing as ghosts, and our more intuitive selves that can't shake the unsettling feelings that we sometimes have.

I can't wait to share the rest of the book!

I'm giving away a signed copy of Resist. It's the second in the RedZone series, but it works as a standalone. Enter here!
