My e-book story, BOUND BY BLOOD, is now available on the Kindle!  It’s properly formatted, contains a table of contents, an excerpt from NEVER CRY WOLF, and an excerpt from KILLER SECRETS by Katie Reus.  The BOUND BY BLOOD novella itself contains 21,000 words and is priced for a thrifty .99.

I’ve learned so much through this self-publishing adventure (and I’m still learning!).  BOUND BY BLOOD is currently available on Smashwords and it’s available at B&N, too.  I’ll be adding to more sites over the weekend.

I wanted to write this story because I’ve always wondered…do vamps and werewolves really have to be enemies?  What would happen if they were mates, instead?

BOUND BY BLOOD:

It’s an Immortal War…

Vampires and werewolves have been blood enemies for centuries, but now a new threat is rising…demons are escaping from hell and those demons are intent on wiping out both the vamps and the werewolves.

When you have no one to trust…

In order to stop the demons, pureblood vampire princess Morgan LaBeaux agrees to the treaty offered by werewolf alpha Jace Vaughn. She’ll mate with him, share her blood with him…and in return, the wolves will aid the vampires in this battle.

The enemy of my enemy is my husband…

But Morgan doesn’t realize just how dangerous the wolves can truly be. Jace has been waiting years to claim her. He’s set a trap for his princess, and now that he has her, Jace doesn’t plan to let her go.  He’ll send the demons back to hell, and he’ll keep his vampiress—forever.

Because the blood binds all.

Hope you are having a fabulous weekend!!!

Update:  BOUND BY BLOOD is now available for the Kindle–properly formatted, with some fun bonus features.  As of 4/9/11, the updated copy of BOUND BY BLOOD is in the Amazon system and ready for download.

I’m learning a lot through this e-book publishing process.   🙂 BOUND BY BLOOD is now available on Smashwords & on the Nook.  The indent  formatting was stripped out of the Kindle version (see, said I was learning a lot!), so I am re-uploading that file.  Once the correct file is available on Kindle (we actually snazzed it up and added extra features), I will let you know with an official release notification. But, if you are one of the people who already bought the story from Amazon  on Wednesday, April 6 or Thursday, April 7  (the book isn’t listed as being “Live” but I’ve received reports of sales), then email me at cynthia@cynthiaeden.com, and I will be sure to give you the correct version (with indentions).

I’m logging all of my work as I go for this publication. I want to be able to share what I’ve learned with other writers–good tips and the pitfalls to avoid.  I think e-publishing is such an amazing development for writers and readers.  I know I can’t seem to go anywhere without my Kindle these days! What was carpool like before I had it?

Hi, everyone!  My first ebook -only story, BOUND BY BLOOD will soon be available! (Actually, it’s already available on Smashwords, but it will be sold from Kindle as well as B&N, too! I’m working to get the story added to as many locations as possible.) This a  new story, and it contains 21,000 words.

But right now, I was hoping to find a few folks who might be interested in reviewing the story.  You can post the review any place–your blog, Facebook, Smashwords, Amazon, etc.  I’ll give the first 20 reviewers who respond a coupon code so that you can receive a free copy of BOUND BY BLOOD from Smashwords (you can choose the format).  When you post, please just give an honest review.

Here’s the blurb:

It’s an Immortal War…

Vampires and werewolves have been blood enemies for centuries, but now a new threat is rising…demons are escaping from hell and those demons are intent on wiping out both the vamps and the werewolves.

In order to stop the demons, pureblood vampire princess Morgan LaBeaux agrees to the treaty offered by werewolf alpha Jace Vaughn. She’ll mate with him, share her blood with him…and in return, the wolves will aid the vampires in this battle.

But Morgan doesn’t realize just how dangerous the wolves can truly be. Jace has been waiting years to claim her. He’s set a trap for his princess, and now that he has her, Jace doesn’t plan to let her go.  He’ll send the demons back to hell, and he’ll keep his vampiress—forever.

Interested in receiving a review copy?  Then just put your email address in the comments.  I will send the Smashwords coupon to the first 20 folks who respond.

I’ve added an excerpt to my NEVER CRY WOLF page! If you’d like a taste of Lucas Simone’s story, then please check it ou.

Have a great day!

Before I get to the projects…if you haven’t checked out Operation Auction to help Fatin, please do. There are some fabulous items listed–ARCs, critiques, design services.  Check out all the items and if you see something that interests you, bid–and your bid will help Fatin. You can read the full story about the Auction at Lauren Dane’s blog.

I realize it’s been a while (too long!) since I checked in with a project update, so I wanted to let everyone know what I am working on.  I am currently writing the third book in my Fallen Angels of Death series–ANGEL IN CHAINS.  The hero of this book needs a whole lot of redemption, and I’m having a great time trying to work with this anti-hero.  I love anti-heroes.  I blame that fact on Vin Diesel and the movie Pitch Black.

I am scheduled to publish four Fallen Angel books with Kensington Brava. The first two books are already written. ANGEL OF DARKNESS, the first book, will be out this December.  The angels in these books aren’t sweet, gentle creatures who are there to guide and protect humans. They’re dangerous, they’re sexy, and they can kill with a touch.  Can you tell that I am *really* enjoying these angels?

In addition to my novel, I am also working on a shorter story that I hope to release as an ebook very soon.  This is a side project that I started because the idea kept nagging at me and just wouldn’t let me go.

BOUND BY BLOOD will contain approximately 20,000 words, and my plan is to release it as a .99 story on Amazon, B&N, Smashwords, etc.  This book is not related to the Other world that is established in my Kensington Brava books. Instead, it’s about what happens when a vampire princess becomes mated to an alpha wolf.  Here’s a blurb for you:

It’s an Immortal War…

Vampires and werewolves have been blood enemies for centuries, but now a new threat is rising…demons are escaping from hell and those demons are intent on wiping out both the vamps and the werewolves.
