Crimson Frost by Jennifer Estep (ARC)

 

Crimson Frost (Mythos Academy #4)
Jennifer Estep
Pub.: December 24, 2012

For a moment, a face flashed before my eyes—the most hideous face I’d ever seen. No matter how hard I tried to forget what had happened, I saw him everywhere I went. It was Loki—the evil god that I’d helped set free against my will.

I should have known that my first official date with Logan Quinn was destined to end in disaster. If we’d gotten into a swordfight, or been ambushed by Reapers, I’d have been more prepared. But getting arrested mid-sip at the local coffee hangout? I didn’t see that one coming.

I’ve been accused of purposely helping the Reapers free Loki from his prison—and the person leading the charge against me is Linus Quinn, Logan’s dad. The worst part is that pretty much everyone at Mythos Academy thinks I’m guilty. If I’m going to get out of this mess alive, I’ll have to do it myself…

Damned if you do, damned if you don't...

DUST Chosen Best I've Read 2012!

So yay! This is the second year one of my books have been named Best I've Read! Last year it was my urban fantasy novel Metamorphosis (The Immortal Archives #2) and this year my YA fae fantasy Dust (Of Dust and Darkness #1) got that honor, SO THANK YOU! :)

 

If you don't know what Best I've Read is, it's a compilation of ten blogs that get together, name the best books they've read this year and spotlight them for you. Most of the novels chosen are by traditionally published authors, so it always amazes me how they manage to get their publishing companies to offer up so many giveaways!

 

My host for the event is Books Complete Me, and my guest post went live this morning, where I'm offering an INT signed paperback/bookmark giveaway, and listing my own Indie Best I've Read list. If you'd also like to check out the schedule for all the sites, head over to Best I've Read and check out all the amazing authors and giveaways that'll be going on this week!

 

If you haven't checked out Dust yet, go to the official home page here! And ebooks are now available in Brazil and Canada through Amazon!

October Winners and November Giveaways

Who-hoo! November is one of my favorite months. The leaves are turning and falling, and it's the beginning of the Holiday Season, which is my absolute fave! For those of you interested, Falling Away is most definetly gonna be written by Thanksgiving like I had planned, and will soon be in the hands of my beta readers. Blog tour sign-ups will go up in December, so if you wanna participate and haven't read Falling In Between yet, pick up a copy and get to it! :)

 

Also, You can tell by the pic to the right that I had planned on participating in NaNoWriMo. Don't know how well that's gonna go over since I'll probably be doing mostly editing. But I do plan on working on Catacombs next, so maybe I'll get a little writing done afterall.

As for the rest of the year, things are gonna go a little slow here at the Crazy Dream blog. I'm moving cities at the end of the month so it pretty much cripples me to get anything done these last two months of the year. So bear with me if I'm a little late getting a post up (like this one!).

Anyways...here are last month's winners and November's giveaways. Also look at my header text to see which Writer's Block giveaways I've got going on.

So it's time to do a little winter cleaning. I've got lots of older copies of my books collecting dust on the bookshelves. Some of these are ARCs, some are proofs, and some just have older covers. I'm gonna tier these books so you know what you're getting into.

 

Tier One: ARCs

Interiors: ARCs

Covers: In Progress / Not Final

 

These books are true ARCs and will contain grammatical errors in the story. Also, none of these have the final cover on them. Ordained in particular has a lot of errors because it was my first book and I was totally wet behind the ears. So if lots of mistakes bother you, I don't suggest you enter to win one of these. Also, I remember going in and making minor changes, but they weren't significant enough to alter the story. Falling In Between has some mistakes, but not nearly as many as Ordained. Metamorphosis is actually the final copy inside, but the outside cover was in progress, so I decided to stick it in this tier.
***If you win one of these, I'd appreciate it if you'd just throw it away when you were done.***

 

Tier Two: Almost Final Copies

 

Interiors: Final

Covers: Final, But Not Perfect

All of these have the final copy inside, but have covers that I didn't want to give out to winners. Ordained's cover had a dark print run and wrong font on 'one'. Metamorphosis was printed on a thinner paper, making the book thinner, so the spine bled over the front a little. The same thing happend to three of the Dust books; the fourth had a dark print run. Both of the Falling in Between books had lines mysteriously show up on the sides of the spine.
