Wolf’s Glory Audiobook Available Now!

I woke up to an email this morning from ACX notifying me that Wolf’s Glory was available on Audible. That’s two releases in one week! And I have only one chapter left to finish the rough draft of Wolf’s Oath! That makes this a darned good week for me. 🙂

Artist Lyn Taylor tweaked the cover art for me.  I adore the art she creates for my books! The audiobook was produced by Brick Shop Audio, and the narration was done by Clementine Cage. I love the way Clementine voices Glory! It is exactly spot on.

Head over to Audible or Amazon and listen to the sample. Isn’t  that great?

Tuesday Truth 8/20/13: Ellie’s Wolf up for Pre-Order

Yes, Ellie’s Wolf is up for Pre-Order at the publisher, LSBooks!

 

Here are a few benefits to pre-ordering the book at the publisher:

• It is $3.99 instead of $4.99. Hey, a dollar is a dollar. There are times when I spend pretty freely. Then there are times when I guard every dollar jealously. Depends on how far from payday I am 😉

• You will be notified the instant it is available. Third party sites like Amazon and especially Barnes & Noble often lag behind with the release times.

• The book is available at the publisher in multiple formats. Whether you use a kindle, an iPad, nook, or whatever, you will find a format that works.

 

You can find out more about it HERE.

Would you like to Win an ARC of Ellie’s Wolf?

      It’s two weeks until the release of Ellie’s Wolf.  Actually, 15 days. (yes, I am keeping track!) But maybe you’re anxious to ElliesWolf_600x800.finalread it and hate to have to wait. If so, you might have a chance to get it early. I’ll be having a contest in my newsletter this week, and on the evening of Saturday August 17 I’ll draw two winners and send them an Advanced Reader’s copy of Ellie’s Wolf.

      I have to say I’m pretty attached to Quill and Ellie. He is everything a wolf warrior of the clan should be: strong, possessive and ready to crawl over broken glass to protect his mate. Ellie is sweet, gentle and demure–at least as long as no one threatens the men in her life. I hope readers will love them as much as I do.

      How do you enter to win? On Wednesday I’ll send out a newsletter with an entry form. Just fill it out and send it back before 5pm central time on Saturday 8/17, and cross your fingers.  I will be notifying the winners immediately via email. If I don’t hear back before 7pm central time on Sunday 8/18 I will draw another name.

      Not subscribed to my newsletter? You can do that by filling out the form on the right. I send out a newsletter about once a month, or when I have news to share. Your name and email addy are private. No one else will see them and you can unsubscribe any time.

      Good luck!

Mid-Summer Dream Man Blog Hop

download (4)

Welcome to Maddy Barone’s stop on the Midsummer Night’s Dream Man Blog Hop! If you’ve fallen off and need to hop back on, click here.

      I don’t know what it’s like where you live, but it’s nasty hot here in North Dakota. Yes, I know a lot of you are laughing your butts off at me, but hey, I hate 90 degree weather! It makes me cranky. I don’t want to cook, or clean, or do anything except lay around. And maybe read. So if you’re like me, a blog hop where you can win books and gift cards to book stores is just the thing. I hope you’re having fun!

     The prize I’m offering for the hop is a free download of any of my After the Crash titles. You can learn more by clicking the Books tab above. Oh, and I should mention that the first book (digital format of your choice) in the series is FREE at the publisher at the moment!  http://www.lsbooks.com/sleeping-with-the-wolf-p507.php  And the other books in the series are on sale there too.

     I’m also offering an additional prize to someone who leaves a comment on my blog. If you enjoy listening to audio books you might want to enter this contest, since my prize is a download of the audio version of Sleeping With the Wolf. To receive the prize the winner will need to setup an audible account (which can be immediately deleted if they choose) or have one already.  The hero, Taye, is my idea of a hot midsummer night’s dream man! He’s a hot, possessive, protective, jealous Alpha werewolf with a sweet streak where the heroine is concerned. I will be drawing a name on Sunday night in the chat room.

     Any subscribers to my newsletter who enters is automatically entered twice to win. My next Newsletter Drawing will be in August, for an ARC of my upcoming release, Ellie’s Wolf. So if you’re interested in small contests and getting excerpts before anyone else, feel free to sign up for my newsletter. Thanks for stopping by, and good luck!

Sunday Giveaway: Wolf Tracker

wolftrackerI haven’t done a giveaway in a long time. It’s hard for me –or any author– to choose a favorite from the books they’ve written. It’s kind of like a mother choosing a favorite child. But if I had to choose, I think Wolf Tracker would be my favorite. Since I’m in a generous mood, I’m going to give away two downloads tonight at 8:30 central time. To enter, just leave a comment below. Remember, those who receive my newsletter are automatically entered twice. If for some reason you can’t leave a comment, you can email me at maddybarone@gmail.com and use Tracker Giveaway as the subject line.

 

Strong, independent Tami was a survivalist and mountain guide in 2014 when she was flung forward fifty years into a post-apocalyptic future where women are rare and each is worth their weight in gold. She is taken by four men to be their wife, but when she escapes from them they hire the Tracker, a deadly loner from the Wolf Clan with a reputation for being able to track anything, to bring her back. But Tami knows how to ride and how to hide, and she leads him on a chase that rouses his admiration. Behind Tracker’s stone cold face is a man who yearns for a wife of his own. When he catches up with Tami and learns that she is not a willing wife, he knows he can’t give her up.

Good luck!

You can win tons of great prizes on this hop, like gift cards to your favorite online bookstore, free downloads of ebooks and more! Some of us are offering additional prizes to a commenter on our blogs.

I’m offering something a bit different this time: a character in the last book of my current series. My After the Crash series takes place in a future post-apocalyptic world where women are rare and werewolves are on the hunt for mates. You can find out more about the series by clicking the Books tab above. My winner will be able to craft a secondary character in Wolf’s Princess. This character will work in the house of ill repute Sky runs. The winner will decide what her name and appearance will be. Will she be working as a prostitute or a domestic? Young or old? Will she be loyal to Sky or betray him to his enemy? Will a wolf choose her for his mate? Will she accept or deny him? All that will be decided by the winner.

If you’d like a chance to craft a character just leave a comment on this blog post before 6pm central time on Sunday April 21. I will be drawing a name  at 7pm and will email the winner that night. As always, the folks who are on my newsletter list are automatically entered twice.  If you’d like, you can sign up here. 

Good luck and have fun!

 

 

Author Swag for the Annual Reader & Author Get Together

swag

One of the fun things about reader conventions is the swag the authors hand out, right? Bookmarks, Romance Trading Cards, magnets, sticky notepads, pens, key chains, emery boards, lip balm and… Oh, boy! NAIL POLISH!!!!!

     Yes, I ordered 60 bottles of custom nail polish for the Annual Reader & Author Get Together that Lori Foster and Duffy Brown put on every year near Cincinnati. Now, I couldn’t possibly afford to get 525 of these babies to go into the swag bags each attendee will receive, so I’ll be handing them out on Saturday June 8 at 11:20 in the Liquid Silver Books boardroom. My publisher is offering each of their attending authors a 20 minute meet & greet. I’m not above bribing people to attend! If you’ll be at the RAGT please come visit me on Saturday morning! Pick up a bottle of Carla Crimson, Lisa-Love, Shadow’s Sunshine, Quill’s Darling or one of the other luscious colors created just for me by Pam at Paintbox Polish on Etsy. She was  professional and so easy to work with that I can’t recommend her highly enough.
