Jennifer L. Armentrout

To celebrate the awesomely sweet Tiffany King signing with my awesomely awesome agent Kevan Lyon, I am holding a very special giveaway. After all, her New Adult novel NO ATTACHMENTS is so good (one of my favorites of 2013) that it hooked in Kevan and thousands of readers.

Right now, NO ATTACHMENTS is priced at .99 cents for a limited time only. It increases to $2.99 on Monday the 13th, so you can get it on B&N and Amazon at a super cheap price for the next four days.

So… do you want to be the first person to hug and squeeze Wait for You in print? I’m giving away this in honor of Tiffany King and NO ATTACHMENTS

A signed and doodled (really horribly doodled) copy of Wait for You

Contest is international.

I wasn’t expecting to see this when I opened the door this morning. When I saw “Wait for You” on the side of the box, I squealed. Loudly. On my porch.

I hugs and loves them.

The actual first edition (these babies are proofs and will be available at BEA and ALA) will have a slightly different cover and will include a sneak peek of Be With Me. It goes on sale 9/3/13 and it’s currently marked down on AMAZON for preorder.

Also, I have a winner for the Kindle Paperweight plus signed copies.

Wow, today is the day for news and reveals.

The cat is kind of out of the bag and the barn on what I hinted toward a few weeks ago.

Trust In Me
Releases: October 22, 2013
Pre-order: HERE
What is it: Trust in Me is Cam’s POV from Wait for You, but it contains a lot of scenes not in Wait for You. It’s called a novella, but it’s pretty long and it also gets you more familiar with Ollie and Jase.

Jase…

Which leads me to my next announcement…

Be With Me
Releases: February 4, 2014
Pre-order: Not available yet but soon.
What is it: Be With Me is book 2 in the series that focuses on Teresa (Cam’s sister) and Jase (Cam’s best friend.) I cannot wait to share more, but I can tell you that Jase has become my current fav guy/obsession.

So excited to share the cover for Obsession with you today, if you haven’t seen it popping up over the Internet.

Releases: May 31, 2013

He’s arrogant, domineering, and… To. Die. For.

Hunter is a ruthless killer. And the Department of Defense has him firmly in their grasp, which usually doesn’t chafe too badly because he gets to kill bad guys. Most of the time he enjoys his job. That is, until he’s saddled with something he’s never had to do before: protect a human from his mortal enemy.

Serena Cross didn’t believe her best friend when she claimed to have seen the son of a powerful senator turn into something…unnatural. Who would? But then she witnesses her friend’s murder at the hands of what can only be an alien, thrusting her into a world that will kill to protect their secret.

Hunter stirs Serena’s temper and her lust despite their differences. Soon he’s doing the unthinkable—breaking the rules he’s lived by, going against the government to keep Serena safe. But are the aliens and the government the biggest threats to Serena’s life…or is it Hunter?

Today is the release of the UK version of Wait for You in digital!

The print releases August 15, 2013 in the UK and September 3rd in the US!

Some of you guys may remember that I have a book coming out in a few weeks called Obsession (release date May 17th and pre-order for digital should be up soon-ish) and that this book takes place in the same world as the Lux novels, however it is an ADULT novel and not meant to be read by any youngins.

You do not need to read Obsession to understand what’s happening in the Lux world, and you do not need to read the Lux novels to understand what is happening in Obsession. However, there are characters who are in the Lux series that do make appearances in Obsession. Obsession is a digital only release through Entangled Covet.

I haven’t been able to share much about Obsession, but today, I can share with you the back jacket description.

He’s arrogant, domineering, and—To. Die. For…

Hunter is a ruthless killer. The Department of Defense has him firmly in their grasp, which usually doesn’t chafe him too badly because he gets to kill bad guys. Most of the time he enjoys his job, that is, until he’s saddled with something he’s never had to do before: Protect a human from his mortal enemy.

Serena Cross didn’t believe her best friend when she claimed to have seen the son of a powerful senator turn into a walking glow stick. Who would? But then she witnesses her friend’s murder at the hands of what can only be an alien, thrusting her into a world that will kill to protect their secret.

Only a few weeks until you come face to face with probably the baddest guy I’ve ever written.

I’m not really promoting anything at the moment. Gearing up for Obsession, which comes out May 17th, but this contest is just a random-I’ve-been-absent-from-social-media-lately-working-on-twenty-books-God-help-me-this-is-alot-of-dashes kind of contest.

You guys have no idea how long it took me to type that sentence with those dashes. Honestly, it took as long as it did for me to type this sentence, which is a pointless sentence complaining about the dashes above.

So, I’m not going to get real creative with how to enter. Remember, no frownie faces on how to enter or rules. That makes me sad face when people complain when I’m doing contests.

Anyway, here are the prizes. They are pretty cool.

Unbeknownst to me,  the back jacket synopsis of Origin has been up on Amazon. Sneaky Origin. I’ve gotten a lot of questions about it in a short period of time, and trust me, if I had known, I would’ve shared. I promise.

So…

After the successful but disastrous raid on Mount Weather, he’s facing the impossible. Katy is gone. Taken. Everything becomes about finding her. Taking out anyone who stands in his way? Done. Burning down the whole world to save her? Gladly. Exposing his alien race to the world? With pleasure.

All Katy can do is survive.

Surrounded by enemies, the only way she can come out of this is to adapt. After all, there are sides of Daedalus that don’t seem entirely crazy, but the group’s goals are frightening and the truths they speak even more disturbing. Who are the real bad guys? Daedalus? Mankind? Or the Luxen?

Together, they can face anything.

But the most dangerous foe has been there all along, and when the truths are exposed and the lies come crumbling down, which side will Daemon and Katy be standing on? And will they be standing together?

*GASP*

A couple of key points about Origin:

It’s in Dual POV (Daemon and Katy)
It comes out August 27, 2013
Cover reveal probably won’t be until late Spring/early summer
I like to think this book has some very unexpected things.
I can tell you the world in this novel will be never be the same at the end of Origin

You can pre-order Origin here:
Amazon
Barnes and Noble

And in closing…

Trigger warning for those who are affected by the recent events in Boston and Waco.

This week has been hard for anyone in the world who has an ounce of compassion. I thought I’d take a few seconds gathering some pictures that will stick with me.

People running TOWARD where a bomb had just exploded. To help.

And more. They are heading toward the explosion. Even the marathon runner, who ran past, stopped and then ran back. To help.

This guy.

People helping people after the Waco blast.

And more people

One of my favorite. Two young boys. Teenagers.

People applauding the Boston police, state police, and FBI

Mr. Rogers said it best.

A couple of things to go over in this post. It will be short and sweet. In the writing cave. Again.

I was also interviewed by USA TODAY and they did a wonderful post on New Adult, accurately describing the genre. You can read it HERE

I also had my first school visit today. It was pretty amazing! Here is a pic with a few of the students.

And now I go back into the writing cave.
