Just in case anyone missed it, here's the link to the Bound Goodreads giveaway:

I've got the book right here, waiting to be shipped to the winner. All you have to do is click to enter...

(Entries are open until the beginning of October. Please spread the word!)

Though it's been difficult to get work done this summer while the kids have been home, I'm on my last editing run through Torn before it goes to beta readers. They will read, make notes, and help me resolve issues before the book goes to my wonderful editor in December...

Which means we're still on-track for a late winter release. Again, "Winter 2015" means late February/early March, not December! I'm not going to make you all wait more than a year for the next book. :)

I'm hoping that once the boys are in school, I'll be able to devote more time to writing the books that you're all so excited about. While Torn is with readers, I'll be starting book 3. Thank you for your support and enthusiasm. You're amazing.

Just a quick note today: Torn is now listed on Goodreads to be added to your TBR lists, and is up for pre-order on Amazon!






The $2.99 USD price is for a limited time only, so now would be a perfect time to reserve your copy.

The release date for all retailers is March 31, 2015.

Hi, everyone!

I've posted the prologue for Torn on my blog, Disregard the Prologue.

That's... okay, that's a little confusing.

Anyway, the prologue is there, if you'd like a sneak peek at what's headed your way on the 31st. :)

Hey, everyone,

I'm hosting a release party for Torn on Facebook, and you're all invited!

March 31, 2015

Here's the link: https://www.facebook.com/events/16519...

We'll have activities, giveaways, big prizes and small, and loads of fun. Maybe even a special guest or two... you never know!

See you then!

(Sorry for all the exclamation points... I'm rather excited.)

Hey, everyone!

Yesterday was the one-year anniversary of Bound's publication. Its first book-birthday, if you prefer that. It's been a crazy year, and an amazing one thanks to fantastic readers who have enjoyed the book and recommended it through reviews, blogs, and word-of-mouth.

To thank readers, I'm doing a giveaway this week! A signed paperback (of Bound or Torn, or a CD audiobook of Bound if you prefer that), plus some other series-related goodies.

For details and the link to the rafflecopter entry form, see this post on my blog:

Good luck!

For anyone who missed it in my newsletter or on my blog/facebook page/Twitter/everywhere else...

Sworn is coming January 29, 2016.

One month.

We're having a release party on Facebook on the 28th, with giveaways, discussions, a spoiler-free author AMA, and more! Visit www.facebook.com/katesparkesauthor for details.

Hey, everyone!

Just a quick update. Thank you to everyone who purchased Sworn on release day, who came out to the release party on Facebook, and who has helped spread the word about the sale pricing on the trilogy! You've all been so amazing.

Sworn is now available for Kindle, Nook, Kobo (though we were having some issues with Kobo Canada earlier today...), iBooks, Scribd, and Tolino. It's just $2.99 for a limited time (USD, ebook only, retailers may adjust prices), so now is a great time to grab it before the price goes up.

Happy reading!

Hey, guys!

We're still waiting on Nook to get the listing up, but Into Elurien is now available for pre-order via Amazon (Kindle), Kobo, and iBooks! I'm so excited about getting this one out to you next month!

Sorry for all the exclamation points. So excited.

It's shorter than the books in the Bound trilogy, with different characters and a slightly older-than-YA slant, but if you enjoyed those books you should love this one, too.

Thanks!

I'm going to be honest... I tend to forget about Goodreads. I mean, look at this. My last blog post was when Into Elurien went up for pre-order. Not release. Pre-order. Yikes.

Anyway, things have been happening and continue to do so, so here's a quick catch-up for anyone who only follows me here (sorry).

-Into Elurien did, in fact, release. Several years ago. I love this story and wish it could have been longer, but I was already over word-count for the series. People keep asking whether I'll ever go back to that world. My answer is the same as my answer for that question about the Bound trilogy: I'd love to, but my time and energy are limited. There are so many other worlds to create and books to write that I don't know when it'll happen. In the meantime, there *is* another story set in that world called Beast and Beauty that I give away as an exclusive to newsletter subscribers.

- I also wrote a completed 7-book urban fantasy series under the pen name Tanith Frost. It's set in Newfoundland. It's got vampires who are soulless monsters, snarky (and hot) werewolves, vampire hunters, an misplaced dragon shifter, a (demon? angel? Who cares, he's amazing). It's dark and sexy and one of the best things I've ever written. It's called Immortal Soulless and book one (Resurrection) is FREE through the end of March 2021






-And finally, I'm working on a new fairy tale Fantasy series! Books 1-3 are drafted, book 4 is planned, and book 5 is... I have ideas. Book one goes to my editor in May, book 2 in October (sorry, he books WAY in advance) and I'm hoping for a late summer/autumn release for book one.

More details to come...
