That's a lot of things, isn't it? For a month where very little is happening, I have a bunch of news snippets today:

Hi all! It's Friday and time for a reading. Since we're so close to Halloween, I felt like an excerpt from Quinn's Gambit since the AURA series has all sorts of fun monsters and ghoulies and such. So - the first time we meet Kai Hiltas:
 When we planned this series out, book 2 was going to be about Kai. It is still about Kai to a certain degree, but we suddenly had another character talking to us...and another...and another. Which is how we got Flax, and how this turned into Flax's story primarily and Kai had to take a grumpy secondary role. Depending on your point of view. For some of our beta readers, it was still all about Kai. ;) Flax's Pursuit has it's early release next week on 6/16! This means, if you pre-order from Totally Bound, you get your copy in your hot little e-hands on 6/16. Pre-order is up everywhere else if that works out better for you - all other distribution sites release on 7/14/15!  Flax's Pursuit: AURA 2
Angel Martinez and Bellora Quinn Totally Bound Publishing Totally Bound pre-order - available early on 6/16 All other pre-orders available 7/14: Amazon Kobo Quinn and Valerian have come through the trials of facing an undead lich queen and the perils of falling in love. Now they work to restore AURA to its previous strength and efficiency while navigating their new life with each other. Fortunately, they’re not in this alone. Kai Hiltas has taken over as the head of the research department at AURA and has become everyone’s favourite workaholic, everyone except his lover Tenzin, who has had enough of his late nights and broken promises. As Kai tries to salvage his relationship, he finds a teacher for Quinn, who also happens to be one of Valerian’s new officers, Flax Wolfheart, a sexy elf with trouble written all over him. Flax has motives beyond simply teaching Quinn to control his magic. He’s trying to recover from his own losses and failures, but he has a plan. The two newest elvish crossovers, Ash and Sage, are sizzling hot and might even like him. With them as backup as he tracks a deadly stone mage and figures out how to teach Quinn, Flax sees his chance to impress Val and snag a place by his captain’s side. On the hunt for both danger and redemption, Flax’s pursuit leads him ultimately down trails he never expected. You know those nice quiet months? Like, oh, April, when there are no conventions or book fairs, and you only have one release? Um, yeah, seems like a long time ago now... June is nutso crazy bonkers gonzo with waaaay too much going on. But I'll try to give you a rundown anyway, because if I don't enumerate, I'll get lost and eaten by the release dragons, and you'll never hear from me again. Oh! I mean, I have a lot to share with you! Yes! That's what I meant!  First up - a bit of Science Fiction drama! The Color of His Crest - released 6/6/15 - a bittersweet short story of a multigendered world and a young person who just doesn't fit, no matter how hard he tries.
