Get SCORCHED for $1.99 for a limited time!!

Great news!! For a limited time, my publisher has discounted the ebook version of SCORCHED to just $1.99 on all ebook platforms. If you've been wanting to try the book out, but hadn't gotten around to it--this is a great chance to add it to your collection!

Amazon - Barnes and Noble - iBooks - Kobo 

Books also make GREAT holiday gifts, so if you have a dragon lover on your list, you might consider a nice little e-book gift certificate stocking stuffer. OR you can always get a paperback or hardcover -- and if you order them directly from me, you can have them personally autographed, too!

I also want to take this chance to thank all of you for your support of me and my books over the years. I've been publishing for TEN (!!) years now and I still get such a kick out of every email you send and every tweet and FB and instagram message. I love meeting readers who have been reading my books for years and those of you who have just discovered them! Some of you found me as teens and are now adults--with kids of your own. (In fact, a first for me - one of my long time readers named their baby girl after one of my characters! How cool is that?)

Sometimes it's hard to stay focused on what I do, especially watching all the tragedy in the world. But I do believe books are important. They give people an escape from reality for a few blissful hours. They show us that we're not alone. And best of all, they give us the hope of a happy ending. Something we are all looking for in the end. So I promise to keep on writing, as long as you guys keep on reading!

Love,
MARI

No, I am not at Comic Con...

The photo above was from San Diego Comic Con back in 2007(?) when I was promoting Dorchester's new Shomi line. (Oh, how things have changed!) It was an amazing, somewhat daunting adventure and I've always wanted to go back. I've since gone to the New York Comic Con several times and done the Chicago Comic Con and the Austin Comic Con, but really, the ultimate Comic Con--the real deal--is San Diego and I've sadly never gotten a chance to return. Perhaps next year, when I'm promoting the paperback version of Scorched and its hardcover sequel, Shattered, I will get a chance to go.

In the meantime, I'll sit here and weep as everyone else has all the funs!

If you're also sitting at home, missing the awesome, may I suggest a quick and funny read to pass the time and dry your tears? My novella, KARMA KITTY GOES TO COMIC CON is on Kindle for 99 cents. It was originally part of an anthology that Julie Kenner and Jade Lee and I did together called "These Boots Were Made for Stomping."

Comic book creator Hailey Hills has no idea what she's in for when she arrives at New York City's Comic Con for the first time. But when a pair of magical boots manages to turn her into a real life Karma Kitty--the superhero of her own design--she suddenly finds herself battling ninjas, pirates, and the guy who got away. 

You can one-click Karma Kitty here. :)

If you like the humor in my Blood Coven books, you'll probably like this one. Let's just say it revels in ridiculousness. Which, as you know, is my specialty. :) Well, that and cosplaying my characters. This is me as Karma Kitty, as described in the book... Check out those boots!

But hey, I can't be too sad... Dragon Con is around the corner. And way till you see the costumes I have cooked up for that!!
