Oh, we don't even have cover art yet, Laura! Hopefully in the next couple of weeks it'll be all up and ready for pre-order. :-)

*sigh* I got a little excited. :-) Please let us know when it goes up for pre-order and I will be all over it!

Um, hell yeah ;). Thanks so much! I look very forward to it!

I second Jamie's HELL YEAH...please.


**SPOILER-ISH**
Elder Griffin watched out for her from the beginning, and she did not know him at all ...

I shouldn't have read the excerpt though because it's only made the wait harder.

Yep. :-)
There's a bit of explanation throughout that the Elder who ran particular departments were always looking at the students, to see who they wanted to have on their teams. Kind of like scouts.

Looking forward to June for FM and CH!

HEHEHEEHEHEHEEHEHE I chuckled at that as well ;)


I enjoyed the scenes with Elder Griffin and Doyle..was it just me or did Chess seem to fancy Doyle quite a bit? Also Was Jillian coming onto Chess or was Chess just being paranoid?
I liked Trent and Vaughn and their interactions with Chess..I kind of want them to appear in future books. I prefered Trent over Jillian, Jillian was very
snake-y, at least Trent didn't pretend to like Chess.
I wonder if Chess will ever go back to being blonde.



So yeah. I get Chess a little more now. I enjoyed Finding Magic a lot!
I loled at the description of Terrible a the end. <3

Oh, not just you. :-) She did. (Remember, she ended up sleeping with him eventually.)
As for Jillian, Chess was just paranoid. But Jillian was a bit...odd, anyway. She was basically kind of an attention whore who wanted to feel like everyone was attracted to her/liked her. She wanted admiration and adoration from Chess, and wasn't thrilled when she didn't get it. So there was kind of a weird undercurrent there, but it wasn't sexual on Jillian's part so much as her expecting Chess to be more in awe of her and she was a bit annoyed that Chess wasn't, if you know what I mean. :-)

We're working on it re FM!! HOME you'd have to contact Macmillan about; they have World English rights, so it's up to them to distribute internationally. Out of my hands, I'm afraid.

Karen Marie Moning has called Stacia Kane’s Downside Ghosts series “dark, sexy urban fantasy at its finest.” Now, in this breathlessly suspenseful eBook novella, Kane has written a prequel to her thrilling series. Before Chess Putnam was a magic-wielding Churchwitch, she was a student in the Church of Real Truth—with a keen sensitivity to magic, a strong rebellious streak, and a penchant for self-destruction. And in Finding Magic, a grisly ghost murder becomes Chess’s baptism of fire.
When eighteen-year-old Chess Putnam is offered the chance to train with a special team of investigators known as the Black Squad, she feels torn. She’s never been a team player and hates how one male Inquisitor condescends to “the new kid.” But at her first bloody crime scene, she gets a taste for investigation—and is hooked on the high. Though the seasoned Inquisitors consider the series of ghost murders random events, Chess starts to detect a pattern. Is a psycho killer summoning ghosts from the City of Eternity and using them as murder weapons? As Chess gets closer to the dark truth, she puts herself in grave danger and risks losing everything she’s fought so hard for.
Includes a special preview of Stacia Kane’s upcoming urban fantasy thriller, Chasing Magic!
I believe the price point will be 99¢, and it's about 37k words.
