Today’s Latest Author & Book News – July 6th 2012

While I finish up a wonderfully steamy UFC Fighter book (50% into Kele Moon’s “Star-Crossed – Battered Hearts 2″ which is her latest release and will be available on Amazon within the next week or so), I gathered us some more news!!

Lots of great news (author and book wise!) including some snippets from Travis and Gideon, and some dates and titles for highly anticipated upcoming releases!! Like which?  Lara Adrian’s next one, Kim Harrison’s, Chloe Neill’s, oh and!!!! The next Vlad book in Jeaniene Frost’s “Night Prince” upcoming releases! What!!?? Already!?? I know right?! That’s what I said, but here they all are, listed in order of release date and a ton of goodies that I didn’t even know about!

Author news:

• Jamie McGuire released another snippet from Travis’s POV. I can’t wait for the whole shebang!
• Laurann Dohner’s new upcoming release – Obsidian (New Species, Book Eight) – expected release date August 28th 2012 (gorgeous book cover!!)
• Colleen Hoover’s Slammed making it to the top, in Amazon ranking! As of June 28th —> “Just hit #28 in kindle store! :D” and she also announced “Point of Retreat just cracked the top 100 on Amazon! Now BOTH books are in the top 100! I love you all so freakin’ much!”
• Tina Reber just hit the top 100 on Amazon with Love Unscripted.
• Sylvia Day announces a title change for her upcoming “Deeper into You: A Crossfire Novel“

“TITLE CHANGE! – the title of “Deeper into You” has been changed to REFLECTED IN YOU. (same book, same cover, different title!)

WHY THE TITLE CHANGE: The title was changed because some of the merchants thought it was too suggestive and they didn’t want to put it out and shock customers with it. Because the publisher wants the book to be available everywhere (like BARED is), they changed the title so we could keep the distribution widespread.

PRE-ORDERS: No worries! The cover and title will update on all the e-tailer websites soon and all pre-orders will be preserved. You’ll still get the right book AND you’ll still get it in the order you were in before. (Did you know that? At midnight on the day of release, when the books start being emailed to your e-reader or mailed via snail mail, they go out in a first come, first served order?)

• Sylvia Day’s BARED TO YOU spends a 10th week as a NYT and USAT bestseller!
• Sylvia Day (yep, more!!!) also posted this AWESOME tidbit (on her Facebook page) from the upcoming Crossfire book (Reflected in You). She says:

“A little snippet of REFLECTED IN YOU. (Again, this is unofficial and may change or be deleted before printing):”

“I am lucky.” Gideon brushed loose strands of my hair away from my temples, his own luxuriant hair falling around that perfect face. “And maybe, if I’m really lucky, you’ll feel better tomorrow and like me again.”

Ah, God. My heart ached in my chest. “I like you now, Gideon. I just don’t like you keeping secrets. It’s going to break us up.”

“Don’t let it,” he murmured, tracing my brows with his fingertip. “Trust me.”

“You have to trust me back.”

Folding over me, he pressed his lips softly to mine. “Don’t you know, angel?” he breathed. “There’s no one I trust more.”

• Lynsay Sands is almost ready with Anders book! She writes—-> “Yay! Yipee! Yahoo! Just finished and sent my edits on Anders story, Immortal Ever After. WOOT WOOT!!!” – expected release date February 26th 2013
• Karen Marie Moning signing alert!!
