My kids wanted to name our new kitten Fifi Marshmallow Lawrence, so we settled on ‘Felix’ for short.

Felix has settled in beautifully, eats his weight in posh kitten food, and likes to explore. It’s so touching to see my young kids form a bond with him. (I’m not crying, you’re crying!)

The other good news is that I finished and submitted book 5 in my wizard series (shew!) and have started writing the final book. It’s been quite an adventure, and I’m so tired I can hardly form a coherent thought, so getting the words down is currently requiring a vast amount of coffee.

(When I think of quitting, I just remember the price of the posh kitten food and I press on).

I can’t wait to celebrate the submission of book 6 at the end of December! I hope you’ll celebrate with me. We can do a giveaway!

Until then …

>> For those of you on my list who are not here for urban fantasy, I’ll be taking a break from wizards and orcs to write some more Sticky Fingers story collections next year, so stay tuned! I will also email you less frequently from January onwards.)

>> For those who ARE here for urban fantasy, The Witch Hunter will go live on the 14th of December.)

In the meantime, you can…

It made me realise how deeply I’m immersed in my character’s world. Writing six books in six months in an intense experience, and even more so when your protagonist doesn’t know how to stay out of trouble.

I’m currently in the middle of writing Book 5 and loving the adventure. If you haven’t yet tried out this urban fantasy that’s taking over my brain, you can sample it for free on Amazon, here.

Just download the free sample and you’ll get to meet Jacquelyn Denna Knight, the best wizard detective in the city.

And, speaking of wizards, if you enjoy fantasy you’ll love Angela J. Ford’s ‘Realm of the Beasts’.

Realm of Beasts: An Epic Fantasy Adventure with Mythical Beasts
Angela J. Ford
4.6 star rating (23 reviews) ★ ★ ★ ★ ★

A feisty enchantress. A mysterious wizard. A sarcastic dragon. From the international best selling author of The Four Worlds comes a tale of mischief and mayhem. 
When darkness creeps into Paradise, bringing the mysterious Nameless One and an omen of death, Citrine realizes the consequences of her actions spell danger for herself, her beasts, and Paradise.

As time runs out the undead come to life. Citrine faces the ultimate showdown as everything she holds dear is ripped away.

“The magic of this book is in the writing! Brilliant!” ★★★★★ 

Apart from being a bestselling author, Angela is one of the most supportive readers I know. I hope you’ll give it a try.

Thank you for supporting indie authors, and happy reading!

Hello!

I have so many exciting projects coming up, I can’t wait to share them with you.

THE MEMORY HACKER
I published The Memory Hacker last week, if you’re keen to check it out you can click here.

THE UPRISING
One of the projects I’m currently working on is publishing a Dystopian 12-book boxed set anthology. It includes my book The Sigma Surrogate and will be out next month! We’ll publish at the crazy price of 99c … I’ll let you know when it’s live.

STICKY FINGERS
The Sticky Fingers series of collected short stories is doing really well, sharing chart space with Neil Gaiman and Stephen King. I couldn’t be happier!

Sticky Fingers 2 will be out in audiobook format next month, if you are an audio fan. If you’re not, you’re missing out! I’ll send you an email in the next couple of weeks all about audiobooks and how you can try them for free.

A FEMALE WIZARD?
What’s taking most of my time at the moment in a book about … a wily female wizard!

I know it’s a bit different to what I usually write (apart from Grey Magic), but when the co-authoring opportunity came up, I grabbed it with both hands.

THE GOOD NEWS: We’ll be releasing a 6-book series before January 2019.

THE BAD NEWS: I have to write 6 books in 6 months. YIKES?

Luckily, Book 1 is already in the bag. It’s called ‘The HighFire Crown’ and I submitted it yesterday. It was so much fun to write! WIZARDS! GOBLINS! VAMPIRES! ORC MAFIA! Honestly, it feels like too much fun to call it work. I’ll keep you posted on the progress!

Some think the City of Jade Spires is a utopia. It very much isn’t.

Holly Drake is in prison for defending herself from a murderer. That’s the kind of corruption thriving in the city where evidence is destroyed and the innocent go to jail.

But everything’s about to change. Someone exonerates Holly and she walks free. She has no idea who. Or why. But they have a job for her.

Grab your copy now for just 99c.

That’s all for today.

Happy Reading!

In last week’s post I said I’d let you know when this hot new release is available at 99c …
So today I have a super short mail with only one message:

2054 is live, it’s 99c, AND IT’S AN AMAZON #1 BESTSELLER!

I am SO EXCITED (CAN YOU TELL BY THE ALLCAPS??)

2054
“Breathtaking” — Samuel Peralta

The contributing authors and I are dancing in our offices. We’re glad no one is watching. (We have a lot of words in our heads, but not a lot of rhythm.)

Okay, enough distraction. I need to get back to writing my Super Secret Series that I’ll tell you about in the next email.

Hugs, and happy reading!

Janita

PS. Here’s the blurb, in case you missed it last time:

Dear Reader

I have a brand new release — 2054 went live today — but don’t buy it yet. We’ll be having a 99c promo next week so I’ll remind you then!

But that’s not all … Sticky Fingers 3 is being released tomorrow.

Hooray! To celebrate, I’ve made book 2 99c till tomorrow. If you decide to grab it, thank you, and I hope you enjoy it!

If you’re a fan of Roald Dahl or Gillian Flynn you’ll love these unsettling stories with a twist in the tale. 

(The boxed set is also now available).

To add to the party, I’ve made The Sigma Surrogate free till the end of the weekend. If you like, you can get it free here.

For those of you who replied to my email about Audible codes for the When Tomorrow Calls series … I gave out as many as I could. The rest of you are on the waiting list, and I’ll send out more codes as I get them.

And thank you for the wonderful feedback and reviews! You guys are so supportive; I wish I could hug every one of you.

(If you missed out on that email and would like a code for the audiobook series, just reply to this mail with your preference of Audible US or UK code and I’ll add you to the list!)

That’s all for today. Keep well and keep reading!

In tomorrow’s world where the edges blur between addictive virtual reality and real life, would you hurt your daughter if it was the only way to set her free?

Shrouded in electrosmog and panic, it’s been taken over by vigilante bot hunters as a violent AI uprising puts everyone Kate loves in danger, especially Mally and his anthrobot girlfriend.

What Have We Done is only 99c today.
