Hey everyone! Shadow and Flame, the fourth and final Ascendant Kingdoms Novel, is now in stores! There's a great deal on Kindle on all 4 books where you can save $15 on the set, or save $5 on the paperback for Shadow and Flame but the deal ends soon! Also, check out how you can get an extra free novella (or 3) if you buy one or more books in the series by 3/31! Details here: http://www.ascendantkingdoms.com/2016... Thanks!

Bloggers, media and reviewers! If you want to get a copy of Shadow and Flame, the fourth and final book in the Ascendant Kingdoms Saga, it's now on NetGalley---BUT you won't be able to see it in the catalog because the publisher set it to 'secret' because .... well, they make the rules. Right now it's going out by invitation-only, but I can submit your name for an invitation!

SO ... if you want a review copy, please message me with your name, the email address you use on NetGalley and the URL for your blog/review site. (This offer is restricted to media, bloggers and book reviewers with a book review website.)

I know this requires a little extra effort, and I'm trying to run interference. I am always *very* grateful to all the bloggers and reviewers who give my books a shout-out.

BTW, here are what some other folks are saying about Shadow and Flame *blush*

“The perfect conclusion to a truly epic tale.” -- Michael J. Sullivan, author of the Riyria novels.

“Gail Z. Martin is the one of the finest storytellers writing today. Her fascinating characters and mastery of atmospherics gives readers stories that have to be savored. Her characters display the sort of quick wit and heart that make them a joy to follow through their adventures.”
--Michael A. Stackpole, New York Times Bestselling author of I, Jedi and Rogue Squadron

“A flawless finale that does not disappoint.” -- RT Book Reviews

Vendetta is live TODAY! It's the second book in my Deadly Curiosities urban fantasy series--and it's jam-packed with action and magic.

Someone from Sorren's past is out to destroy him and everything he cares about. That puts Cassidy, Teag and Trifles and Folly in the cross-hairs, against an unknown enemy with strong magic and significant resources.

Sorren has spent centuries shutting down the plans of powerful immortals, dark warlocks and supernatural creatures, and now he’s got to figure out which of those many enemies is out to get him before they pick off his friends one by one and come after him to finish an immortal vendetta. Please read and review--and tell your friends. Thanks!

Hey folks! If you’ve ridden into battle with Blaine McFadden, faced down dark mages with Tris Drayke and Jonmarc Vahanian, outwitted Victorian villains with Jake Desmet or Mitch Storm and kicked demon butt with Cassidy Kincaide, this is for you!

If so, I’m putting together a working street team called The Shadow Alliance to spread the word about my books before they come out. When they are out, then getting reviews out are important. This means getting organized and I need help spreading the word.

Dear Gail Z Martin,
I would like to thank you for being my friend on Goodreads, which is a fantastic site where one is able to converse with so many likeminded people both authors and readers. As a huge fan of your books (the chronicles of the necromancer series), i can honestly say that this is a huge privalige. I am looking forward to reading more of your work, including the two books in the fallen kings cycle that i cannot wait to read.
Thank you so much once again.
