ONE PROUD DAY!

My Dear Readers,

After a year and a half of work on the NEWBORN TRILOGY, I am PROUD to say that books 2 and 3 in the trilogy, "AWAY WITH ME", and "DO US PART", respectively, are now officially released.  On time and on schedule as planned. You can find them at Amazon (click the covers to the right of this post for those), Smashwords, and soon they will be available at Barnes and Noble through ePub publishing.  I am so very pleased!


I would like to thank my editor, Kye Fehrenbach, without whom none of this would have been even remotely possible.  Thank you, My friend :)

I hope you enjoy the sequels in the trilogy as much as you enjoyed/will enjoy the first book, "NEWBORN".  Happy reading my friends.

Sincerely,

Shayn

NEWBORN Trilogy to be Released in January, 2014

Hello everybody!

Hope you're all doing well and gearing up for a cheerful and contented Christmas!  Just wanted to let you know I'm on schedule with my editor to release books 2 and 3 of the NEWBORN Trilogy - "AWAY WITH ME" and "DO US PART", respectively - next month.  Probably around mid month.  NEWBORN, the series opener, is already available but will be getting a new cover to match the covers of the new books.

I'm so excited!

After a year and a half of writing and editing (first had the idea for this trilogy in August, 2012 and started NEWBORN that same month) the series is to be released!  I want to thank my editor for his hard work, diligence, timeliness, and friendship throughout this process.

Thank you Kye!

Love to you all.  And a VERY Merry Christmas to you :)

Sincerely,

Shayn

DO US PART is finished

Dear readers,

I finished DO US PART, book 3 of the Newborn Trilogy, at 11:13pm on August 31st, 2013, concluding my trilogy and over a years worth of work.  I'm extremely pleased with the ending!  And sort of sad I'm finished - with the rough drafts, anyhow.  Still have lots of editing to do though.  Books 2 and 3 of the trilogy will be released in January, 2014.

I can't wait till you read them :)

Your humble author,

Shayn

A Slight Adjustment

Dear readers,

After careful consideration, I have decided to release both books 2 and 3 of the NEWBORN Trilogy, "Away With Me," and "Do Us Part," respectively, together in January rather than the original plan which was to release "Away With Me" in September and "Do Us Part" in December.  This decision arose after careful analysis of the amount of editing that "Away With Me" requires, and releasing both at the same time makes more sense from a standpoint of practicality.  I appreciate your patience for these works, and wish you a happy autumn in the meantime :)

Your humble author,

Shayn

Hard at Work!


Dear readers,

I apologize for not posting more on this blog and all.  I'm busy editing "Away With Me," which is due out in September, and finishing the rough draft of "Do Us Part," which is due out in December.  Everything is coming along great!  I'm busy, busy, busy!  Stay tuned for updates!  

Your humble author,

Shayn

AWAY WITH ME is finished!

I'm pleased to announce that I have finished Newborn's sequel and the second book in the Newborn Trilogy, AWAY WITH ME!  Well, the rough draft, anyway...  Now I get to start editing!  The currently expected release date is late August, although mid month may be possible as well.  Stay tuned!  : )

NEWBORN eBook description

Just finished the description for NEWBORN.  Here it is :)


Fresh from her parents' divorce, eighteen-year-old Nora Saynt-Rae is ready for a new beginning at Evergreen State College in Olympia, Washington.  Life is at last beginning to look up.  Then Nora meets a guy.  Stunningly gorgeous, completely eccentric and tirelessly vengeful, Gabriel has a secret.

He is a wizard.  A new grad from Magasant School of Magic, Gabriel is a Releaser - a vampire slayer.  Victimized in childhood by a vampire, he is determined to exterminate the entire bloodsucking race - starting in Washington where he's searching for his latest target, an elusive Newborn who is tipping the scales against Olympia's favor.

Should Nora let her intensely erotic attraction cloud her better judgement?  Should she ignore her doubts and the doubts of everyone around her?  Or should she leave the murderous wizard before the hungry, biting demons of his past become her undoing?
