Book Blurb:

Jane’s not happy. She’s been packed off to England to fight in a war when she’d much rather be snogging Anyan. Unfortunately, Jane’s enemies have been busy stirring up some major trouble – the kind that attracts a lot of attention. In other words, they’re not making it easy for Jane to get any alone time with the barghest or to indulge in her penchant for stinky cheese.

Praying she can pull off a Joan of Arc without the whole martyrdom thing, Jane must lead Alfar and Halflings alike in a desperate battle to combat an ancient evil. Catapulted into the role of Most Unlikely Hero …

Book Blurb:

Nothing says “home” like being attached by humans with very large guns, as Jane and Anyan discover when they arrive in Rockabill. Seeing Anyan fall awakens a terrible power within Jane, and she nearly destroys herself taking out their attackers.

Jane wakes, weeks later, to discover that she’s not the only thing that’s been stirring. Something underneath Rockabill is coming to life: something ancient, something powerful, and something that might destroy the world.

Jane and her friends must act, striking out on a quest that only Jane can finish. For whatever lurks beneath the Old Sow must be stopped…and Jane’s just the Halfling for the job.

Around the Bookish World: News Week-in-Review

After last week’s epic news post and the authors gone HULK, things have been quite subdued this week, with some depressing and sad news of bankruptancy and deaths.

The biggest announcement has to be Borders filing for Chapter 11 insolvency and will be entering administration. Sadly 200 of their 600 megastores will be closing and around 6000 employees will face redundancies. This will also affect publishers which Borderes owes millions of dollars of debt and in turn as this article highlights will affect authors, because the majority of books being sold are via stores like Borders.

Another struggling mega store chain owner REDgroup is also facing bankruptancy, but this time its in Australia. Ironically enough they also own the Australian arm of Borders as well as, Angus and Robertson and Whitcoulls in New Zealand. This shows that traditional brick …

JANE TRUE HAS ALMOST COME TO TERMS WITH HER SUPERNATURAL HERITAGE…ALMOST.

Valentine’s Day is fast approaching, and Ryu – Jane’s bloodsucking boyfriend – can’t let a major holiday go by without getting all gratuitous. An overwhelming dose of boyfriend interference and a last-minute ticket to Boston later, and Jane’s life is thrown off course.

Back into the crazy world of Jane True, and the story is only getting better. Our story picks up about four months on since …

Interview: Author Nicole Peeler + Giveaway

Today we are very happy to welcome Nicole Peeler, author of the Jane True series on Book Lovers,Inc. Her new book Tracking the Tempest was released earlier this week. (I am in love with her book covers!) Let’s give Nicole a warm welcome!

The HEA Lover: First can we call you Nicole or do you prefer Dr. Peeler?

Nicole: Everywhere outside of the classroom I’m Nicole. But some people enjoy calling me Dr. Peeler. I think it’s because I don’t look anything like a serious professor.

The HEA Lover: For everyone who doesn’t know you: tell us a bit about yourself?

Nicole: I grew up outside of Chicago, but left for college. I’ve lived all over the place and I love to travel. Right at this second, I’m living in Louisiana, but I’m just about to move to Pennsylvania to teach at …

Book Blurb:

Living in a small town in Rockabill, Maine. Jane True always knew she didn’t quite fit in with so-called normal society.

During her nightly, clandestine swim in the freezing winter ocean, a grisly find leads Jane to startling revelations about her heritage: she is only half-human.

Now, Jane must enter a world filled with supernatural creatures that are terrifying, beautiful, and deadly – all of which perfectly describe her new “friend,” Ryu, a gorgeous and powerful vampire.

It is a world where nothing can be taken for granted: a dog can heal with a lick; spirits bag your groceries; and whatever you do, never – ever – rub the genie’s lamp.

I bought this book with my own funds.

My Thoughts:

Many have compared Jane True to Sookie …
