The Academy discussion

So basically, this discussion board is just to share information from C.L.Stones website to make it easier for those who don't have the time / opportunity to jump from one page to another. (Like those that are sneaking on from work! *Cough cough me cough*) Her website is here > C.L.Stone < for those who haven't checked it out. She does news letters and shares a lot of information and answers a lot of questions. But Ill be trying to post the same information, and her news letters here if possible.

And as for the first tid-bit of news, there is a new book coming out tomorrow called "Thief" . Its not part of her Ghost Bird series but it is part of the Academy world. This series is labeled "adult", just a warning for those who are sharing the Ghost Bird series with a younger audience. Thief is a part of her new series called "The Scarab Beetle", you can read the first chapter here. From what we know from her news letters, the two series' over lap time lines. And below is the summery of the book right from C.L.Stone's website. ENJOY!

SUMMARY:
Kayli Winchester is a dirt-poor girl living out of a hotel, forced to be the parent for a drunken father and teenage brother who she’s desperate to keep in school. The only way she scrapes by is to utilize her one skill: pickpocketing. But even though she’s a thief she has a moral code: no kids or old ladies, only targets who can defend themselves. Not that they see her coming…

Thinking she’s been working under the radar, Kayli has no idea The Academy has been watching and taking notice. Now a team that needs her skill has offered her a way out of her predicament and it’s her last chance: work with them, or face jail time. Kayli resists at first, but slowly the boys reveal they can be trusted. With Marc, the straight man, Raven, the bad-boy Russian, Corey and Brandon the twins as different as night and day, and Axel their stoic leader, there’s a lot Kayli can learn from these Academy guys about living on the edge of the law. If only she can stay on the good side instead of the bad.

Especially when the job they offer her is more than any of them bargained for. After it’s done, the hunters have become the hunted and their target is now after Kayli. The Academy boys do their best to keep her hidden, but a thief like Kayli will never sit still for long.

Meet an all-new Academy team in Thief, the beginning of the Scarab Beetle series.

Warning: This is a new adult series. Readers of the other Academy series may need some caution as this series will contain mature sexual and violent situations and themes.

SO! Now that I have the opportunity to get online again! If you didn't know, there is a teaser chapter on C.L.Stones website for the next "Ghost Bird" book, "Push and Shove" Click Me. We are one month (ish) away from the release of the new book. Still no exact release date for us yet, but I'm sure that will be shared soon. Check out her newsletters as there is much more information in them! I'm having problems sharing them here but I will find a way!

So I just got the newsletter email, so CORRECTION! We now have a date! It will be June 2nd! LESS THAN A MONTH! Here is the rundown for it that was in the news letter.(And by the way, she has shared the second chapter inside of the newsletter! GET ON IT!!)


Sang Sorenson struggles with her growing feelings when the Academy boys take her in and draw her closer into their world. They work together to uncover the true secrets happening at Ashley Waters High School, where Principal Hendricks will stop at nothing to take them all down.

Adding to their complications, Nathan’s father shows up, and he’s just as ruthless and violent as ever, beating up on Nathan. Sang offers Nathan refuge in her home, but Marie is fed up with the boys. She wants them out--all of them—and wants them to take Sang with them. Where will Sang go? What will happen to Nathan? And what about Mr. Hendrick’s spies, watching all of them?

Kota, Victor, Silas, Nathan, Gabriel, Luke and North will have to focus to get out of this mess, but with Sang assisting them, they’re struggling to keep control. They all promised not to make a move on Sang unless she initiates, but the tension is driving them all to distraction. With the help of Dr. Green and Mr. Blackbourne, they will have to stay strong and engaged. But A first kiss is imminent, and will cost them all more than they could ever have imagined.

The Academy, Endlessly Steadfast

------

The countdown begins!!! Can not wait!

Hey everyone! Sorry for my lack of posting here, I've started up a book blog and perhaps fed a bit too much time into it.... yeaaa... Anyways I'm back and in case ya'll aren't aware of what happens in a few days, then I have news!

"Liar" Comes out in three days! THREE DAYS!!

"Worse than a thief, is a liar.

Kayli Winchester can finally let go of her thieving past and for once walk on the right side of the law. She’s had enough of the hustle and is determined to become the good girl.

But her brother, Wil, is still missing. On the hunt for him, she discovers something worse than a missing sibling: Marc, Raven, Axel, Corey and Brandon. These aren't just scoundrels with hearts of gold. They’re flat out criminals. But they’re criminals who need her.

In a ruse to draw them away from her brother and learn more about this so-called Academy, Kayli joins them on a mission to Florida in search of a missing little girl. Kayli will do anything to make sure her brother is safe. She’ll find their leader. She’ll discover their intentions. She’ll infiltrate their ranks. And if they try to threaten her brother or herself, she’ll burn them all.

But when these five hot Academy teammates all contend for her heart, her resistance starts to crumble.

Maybe she wasn't meant to be the good girl, anyway."

Overly excited here!

And for the 'Ghost Bird' series, "House of Korba" is set to come out October 27th. The first chapter is online on her site if you want to read it though!


So here we are, on another countdown... I can't wait though!

Book 8 is on its way everyone! (book 10 if you count the minis!) I'll post again when we have a date for it! ALSO! Accessory come out NEXT MONTH!! August 25.

The Other Side of Envy-

"Sang Sorenson dreams of what life might be like for her in the Academy, but joining isn't as easy as simply writing an exam or passing an interview. She'll need to pull the team together to get them on her side in order for it to work, which is harder than it sounds. The boys will do anything to protect her, which, for some, means keeping her out.

But that’s not all that’s going on in Sang’s complicated life. After a shocking revelation, Gabriel Coleman splinters himself off from everyone, avoiding not just his Academy team, but even going so far as to avoid Sang. Desperate to bring him back and get him on her side, Sang digs deep into his past to try to discover a way to reach out to him.

His truth is riddled with tragic events, but with the help of Kota, Victor, Silas, Nathan, Luke and North, she might be able to reach out to him before envy and despair drag him too far down to be saved."
