My Christmas Giveaway is over, so I know everyone wants to find out who won! Here are the lucky five winners: a Rafflecopter giveaway Congratulations to the winners! I hope you enjoy the books! I sent an e-mail to the winners so you could tell me in which format you want to receive the book. If you don't receive my e-mail, please contact me. I hope everyone had a nice Christmas! :D

Christmas Giveaway!

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

Divided (Element Preservers, #3) Release Date!

Hi everyone! I wanted to share with you the release date for the third book in Element Preservers series so you know when to expect the book on e-shelves. Since the book will probably be ready for publishing somewhere at the end of December, I figured that most of the sites that distribute my books would be on holidays, so I wouldn't be able to upload the book or it wouldn't go live until after the holidays. That is why I decided to publish in January, to be exact, the publication date is January 3rd. If there are any changes, I'll inform you, but January 3rd seems like the best date, although I suspect it will take a bit longer for the book to appear in all the stores since there will be many books uploaded and processed. Anyway, I hope everything will go fine.
Divided should be available immediately on Smashwords, Amazon and Kobo. If you are buying your books on B&N, iTunes, Sony or others, you will have to wait a week or two until the book ships to those sites and they make it available. I don't have any control over the process, so I can't tell you how long it will take until the book appears. I remember that Runaway appeared within a week or so on iTunes, but it took a few weeks for it to become available on B&N. This time it might be different, so please be patient. Big thanks to everyone who is reading my books! I'm looking forward to 2013 and publishing more books! (Sorry Mayans, ain't nobody got time for the end of the world) :D

Divided (Element Preservers, #3) Cover Reveal!

As I promised, today you get to see the cover for the third book in Element Preservers series. Now, what can I say about the cover? Well, it reflects the story as usual. I especially love the ice and how it went over the letters in the series title because it seems like it's going out of the picture, right? :D You can probably guess this from the title, but Ria will be conflicted a lot about what to do. Here is the first version of the blurb (and I say the first version because it can still change, but probably won't change much):

After spending some time on her own, Ria thinks she is ready to meet Oliver's group of magic disease carriers and find out what her brother really wants. But when her father reveals the secret that affects the whole world, she will have to make a series of decisions that could change her life forever.

Finally, here is the cover! I would love to hear what you think.

Divided Cover Reveal This Saturday!

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.

Would Love to Know Your Opinion!

Hi, everyone! I'm editing Divided, the third book in Element Preservers series, and I've been thinking about something. Element Preservers is written from Ria's point of view, so I thought it would be fun if I wrote a novella from some other character's POV. Many of my favorite authors do this and write a novella which sort of fits in the series, but usually concentrates on another character. You probably noticed that sometimes there are books 0.5, 1.5 and so on, depending after which book in the series the novella follows. Of course, it's a bit shorter than a full novel, but you get an awesome insight into another character's mind. I haven't decided anything yet, but maybe I could do the same. So, I need your help. I created a poll so you could choose a character you'd like to read about in the novella. Please, pick *one* character. I'm only trying to figure it out if people would be interested in reading the novella if I wrote one, so please vote. :D If you can't see the poll, here's the link to it: http://www.addpoll.com/alylin/poll/214986

Title of the Third Book in Element Preservers Series!

I'm working very hard on the third book in Element Preservers series, so I thought it was the perfect time to give you the title! I still don't know when exactly the book will be ready for publishing, but I believe it should be somewhere between mid-November and January. It all depends on how much time my betas will have and how many edits I'll still have to make. The good news is that you won't have to wait a year like you had to with Runaway. The blurb will have to wait a bit because I might be making major changes, so there would be no point in posting it early only to change it later. But back to the title. :D The title of the third book in Element Preservers series will be:

Divided! (I hope the glittery letters above work. XD) Yes, the title has a lot to do with the plot, as usual. If you have any speculations about what will happen in Divided, you're welcome to post them in comments. :D I hope you like the title!
