Release days are always a big occasion in this house. Mostly because I insist on it. So happy birthday to Temper the Dark!!! There will be large, decadent cookies later today.

Would you like to know a secret? (There are so many in publishing…) The original title of Temper the Dark for years was Witchling. But two years ago, another author came out with a book called Witchlings, which was just too close for comfort. So, it underwent a name change.

And then another name change.

Lo and behold, Temper the Dark.

What do authors have to say about Temper the Dark? Well, Tessa Barbosa, author of The Moonlight Blade, calls it:

“An engaging, romantic tale of a girl coming into her power, and a boy grappling with the legacy he inherited, set in a lushly original world ripe for adventure.”

And Sarah Ahiers, author of Assassin’s Heart, says:

“An evil emperor. An unexpected alliance. Magic and rebellion. What more could you want? How about dragons? You’ll root for Alaris and Kagan by page one!”

So if you haven’t already placed your order, what are you waiting for? Hit up your local indie bookstore to order it, grab it at B&N, order it from Amazon or get a signed copy directly from me! (I’ll also be at Cupboard Maker Books for their multi-author Night of Fantasy tomorrow, June 28th, from 5 – 8 p.m.) Or whet your appetite with a couple of excerpts before you place your order.

And friends? Thank you, THANK YOU, for your support. I am so very grateful.
