Runaway Now on Kobo!

I realized it would take ages for Runaway to become available on Kobo through Smashwords, so I went to publish it there directly. It took only a few hours, so I'm impressed. Anyway, here is the link: http://www.kobobooks.com/ebook/Runaway-Element-Preservers-Series-Book/book-KgcvcIcguUis8kuGQrVc3w/page1.html?s=vFMSlXSaxUqaqIi7atvgTA&r=3 It's new, so if something doesn't work yet, give it some time. :D However, the new version of Dangerous still has to appear on the site and I'll give you the link for it as soon as I have it. The old Smashwords version will probably take some time to get removed, so I suggest you download the copy with the new cover since that is the latest version.

Update: Link for new version of Dangerous: http://www.kobobooks.com/ebook/Dangerous-Element-Preservers-Book-01/book-I0NKppr3lkujz0lvdK6mwQ/page1.html?s=szz8u9wepEytkNmTMJwrvQ&r=4

New Cover for Human!!!

Hello everyone, I just came to tell you that Human has a new cover!! I know it looks almost the same, but now it's much bigger to fit with the rest of the covers. You know, every time I tried to make a signature or a banner with my books, Human would never fit with Dangerous and Runaway because of the size. Besides, some people thought the old cover was sort of creepy because it reminded them of a doll. Oh well, I hope you like this one better. :D

As for the possible sequel, I still don't have any awesome news. I haven't decided that there won't be a sequel, but I'll leave that decision for 2013. Right now I'm totally busy with the third book in Element Preservers and my new series/trilogy/not sure. But don't worry. If I decide something, you'll be the first to know. :D 
For anyone waiting for Runaway to appear on Kobo/Diesel/Sony, I hope it won't take much longer, but I honestly have no clue what's taking them so long to put it up. Sorry about that. Oh, and hugs to Australians for getting Runaway on the best-selling list on iTunes! You guys are the best! :D And of course, hugs to everyone reading my books!

Element Preservers Series Update

So, even though it says on Smashwords that they ship books to B&N "every Thursday or Friday", Runaway still hasn't shipped. I've gotten a lot of questions about this and all I can say is that I'm sorry, but I can't do anything to speed things up. Hopefully, Runaway will be shipped next Thursday or Friday and be available "within a few days of shipment". The situation is the same with Kobo and Sony, so you'll have to wait a bit longer. I know how frustrating it is to wait because right now I'm staring at the shipment info and willing it to change, but nothing happens. Anyway, I assure you Runaway will be available for Nook soon. I can't tell you exactly how soon, but I hope there won't be any more delays.

UPDATE: Runaway has been shipped to B&N (09/03), so I guess that means it will be available in a few days. :D Finally Runaway is now available on B&N! http://www.barnesandnoble.com/w/runaway-alycia-linwood/1112818893?ean=2940044796959

If anyone is looking for Runaway on iTunes/Apple, here is the link: http://itunes.apple.com/us/artist/alycia-linwood/id456604322?mt=11 I just noticed that Runaway has made it to the best-seller list in Children & Teen category in Canada! Thank you so much! You guys are awesome! I know Dangerous is on some lists too, but it's free, so yeah, that's not so unusual. :D Big thanks to everyone for reading my books!
Now we can talk about more interesting things. I'm working on the third book in Element Preservers series! I'd planned to start another series, but I changed my mind because the third book just wants to be written. And when something feels right, you just have to do it, right? I don't want to mention any dates yet or anything, but I can say that you won't have to wait as long as you had to for Runaway. I have the title already, but I'm not completely sure about it, so I'll wait before sharing it with you. I hope you're enjoying Runaway even more than Dangerous and I hope you'll be interested in reading the third book too! :D
