Hi, everyone! I realized I didn't have a giveaway for a long time, so I decided to have another one. But this time I want to make it more fun, so instead of a typical, boring Rafflecopter giveaway, I decided to do a fan contest! The contest is international and will be open until April 3.
Prizes: Prizes are the most important part of everything, right? The winner will receive a paperback edition of one of my books in the Element Preservers series (the winner chooses which one).The second and third place will win an ecopy of one of my books (either one of the books from the Element Preservers or Human).
How to enter: All you have to do to enter is create some sort of fan art related to the Element Preservers series. It can be a drawing, photo, video, playlist, poem... anything really. As long as it is creative and related to the EP series. When your fan creation is done, upload it somewhere (an image hosting site, Youtube, Twitter, Tumblr or wherever suits you best) and enter the link to your creation along with your contact info into the form below. Please make sure to put the tag #ElementPreserversContest or #EPcontest either directly on your fan creation or on the post which contains your creation. I don't want anyone to give me the link to someone else's art or video, so please add the tag somewhere. If you have any doubts or questions, you can always ask me. :) Also, you can enter multiple times (create more than one fan creation), but each entry has to be original.
Ready to enter? Great! Fill in this form:
Big thanks to everyone for participating! I'll post the winning entries on my blog on April 4. Have fun!

If you are buying your
books on Barnes & Noble, Sony, or others, I'm not sure
when exactly the book will be available there, but it shouldn't take longer
than a couple of days or weeks, depending on the retailer. I have no control
over the process, so I can't give you the exact date, but I'm going to post the
links here as soon as I have them. Sorry for the inconvenience.
More about
the book: Warning: This is the book 3.5 in Element Preservers series and
should be read after book 3 since it contains spoilers for the first three
books in the series. The novella has approximately 18000 words (74 pages).
Aware that Ria's condition is getting
worse, Adrian is determined to do whatever it takes so he can touch her again
without weakening her, and the only ones who might be able to help him are his
greatest enemies. Haunted by the memories, he has to get the information he
needs without putting his live in danger, but that is easier said than done...
Especially if there is no one you can trust.
Hi, I promised on Facebook that I would reveal the cover for the Element Preservers novella today, so that's exactly what I'm going to do. First of all, I have to say that there is no one on this planet who looks like Adrian. No one. :D Or at least I wasn't able to find that person. Anyway, if you don't know already, No One is a novella written from Adrian's point of view and it follows the events after book 3 and before book 4 in Element Preservers series, mixed with events from Adrian's past.
Ok, now that I explained that, here is the blurb:
Aware that Ria's condition is getting worse, Adrian is determined to do
whatever it takes so he can touch her again without weakening her, and the only
ones who might be able to help him are his greatest enemies. Haunted by the
memories, he has to get the information he needs without putting his live in
danger, but that is easier said than done... Especially if there is no one you
can trust.
No One is a novella (it's shorter than a book). It is book 3.5 in the series, which means you aren't supposed to read it unless you read the first three books in the series. You wouldn't only spoil yourself, but you'd also be confused, so you better read Dangerous, Runaway and Divided before reading this. :)
Great, let's talk about the publication date. I believe the novella will be ready for publishing by the end of this month, so the expected publication date is: March 30. If you want to be notified when I publish the novella, subscribe to my newsletter here: https://tinyletter.com/AlyciaLinwood
I believe I told you everything I wanted, so I should reveal the cover. No, wait, I'm too scared to do it. You're all going to hate it. Here it is:
Hello everyone, I'm almost done writing the Element Preservers novella told from Adrian's point of view. Of course, I still need to edit it and send it to my betas, so the publication date should be somewhere in March. Now let me tell you something about the novella. It is written in the first person and it's from Adrian's point of view. It follows the events that happen after book 3 and before book 4, but it also describes some events that happened to Adrian before book 1. It's basically a mix of present and past. The present part happens between book 3 and 4, and the past is... well, the past (before book 1). :D Let's just say that the events from the present trigger Adrian's memories. If you read Divided (book 3), you know how it ended, and in this novella, Adrian tries to find a way to fix things. And of course, you should read the novella only if you read the third book because the novella has huge spoilers for Divided and some things would be confusing.
I guess it's the time to reveal the title of the novella so I don't have to call it novella all the time. The title is....
If you can't see the glittery text, the title is No One. Yes, my first title that has two words, not one. It's crazy, right? :D Anyway, I hope you like it. It really has a lot to do with the story. If you have any questions, leave me a comment here. The cover and blurb reveal should be soon too, but I don't have the date for that yet. :D
Hey guys, Christmas time is coming, so I figured I should give away some books! :D I think I managed to set up the Rafflecopter widget right, but please tell me if something doesn't work. It's my first time using the app. Now let's talk about the prizes! Five lucky winners will get an e-copy of one of my books! Since you're probably visiting my blog because you've read one of my books, I decided to let the winners choose which book they want. So, you can win a copy of Human or Runaway (the second book in Element Preservers series). The first book in Element Preservers, Dangerous, is free on most of the sites, so I don't see the point of including it in this giveaway. As I said, you can choose which book you want. If you read Human, maybe you'd like to try Element Preservers series or if you haven't had a chance to read Runaway after reading Dangerous, now you can get the second book! For those who have read all of my books already (wow, thank you! You guys are the best!) I will have another giveaway in January when I publish Divided. :) The giveaway will end on December 26th. You can get extra entries if you follow me on various sites or post about the giveaway. :D Good luck and thanks for participating!

If anyone is wondering about the results of the Element Preservers novella poll, I can tell you that the majority of votes were for Adrian, so yeah, I'll be writing the novella which will probably follow Adrian's life before Ria met him. If you have any ideas or suggestions for the novella, like what would you like to see/know about Adrian, leave me a comment here or on Facebook. I'm still not sure whether I'll be writing it in the first person or third, but I'll know more when I actually start writing and see how it goes. :D
Hi, everyone! I have the cover for Divided (Element Preservers, #3) and I can't wait to share it with you! So, I'm going to reveal the cover this Saturday, November 17th. I hope you'll stop by my blog and website to check it out. Also, thanks to everyone who voted in the poll about Element Preservers novella. If you haven't voted yet, you can still do it here: http://www.addpoll.com/alylin/poll/214986
As for the release date for Divided, I don't think it will be this month because I'm rewriting parts of it. I like the idea of writing the novella (and I can see that you guys like it too), so I figured some scenes from Divided could be removed and adapted for the novella. My betas agree with my ideas, so we'll see how that goes. I totally see myself doing something crazy as choosing December 21st to publish Divided. Of course, Christmas time is coming, so the retailers will be slow to make the book available in their stores. So even if I publish in December, it's very likely B&N, Apple or others won't have it in their store until January. But then again, if I publish in January, some of you will still have to wait, so maybe it's better I publish sooner. It's complicated. :D Anyway, I'll see how edits go and give you a release date as soon as I can.
