You might have heard...

That something new is brewing in the Nightshade world. I'm happy to confirm that it's true.

Two new projects are afoot.

YA fans can expect three new novels that follow the events of BLOODROSE, the first book, SNAKEROOT, will be in stores December 10 of this year!

For fans of adult romance and erotica, I'm stepping into the dark waters of the Forbidden Nightshade series. These new novels tell steamy tales of forbidden romance and dark magic (note to younger fans: these are R-rated books, be aware of contented intended for mature readers.)

The first Forbidden Nightshade novel, CAPTIVE, will be in stores October 22. I'm running a contest now to spread the word about this new series - because it is intended for a different audience than my YA books I'm writing CAPTIVE and its companions under the name A.D. Robertson. If you'd like to keep up to date on news about the erotic romance series you can find the latest news on Twitter @adrwrites and on the A.D. Robertson Facebook page.

Both books are already available for pre-order (hint ;) )

I can't wait to share these new adventures on the page with you!

Fangirl

Hearing from readers is one of the best parts of being an author and the excitement of fans at my events is the biggest compliment I ever get. So I thought it would be fun to share today's fangirl moment of my own.

I love television shows that feature smart writing and compelling characters. I've long said that Joss Whedon taught me to how to write dialogue and pace plots. Though not a Joss project (though it often felt like one), Veronica Mars is an all-time favorite show of mine. The characters and storyline are amazing; the writing brilliant.



So today when Twitter exploded with the news of a Kickstarter-funded Veronica Mars movie, I was over the moon. So much so that I funded the project and if it meets its goal, I will be an extra in the film. This is officially the most I've ever indulged in fandom, but Veronica Mars on the big screen is well worth it. Hopefully this summer I'll have 'my day on the movie set' stories to share!

RISE Sneak Peek!

Can't wait to see what happens to Ember and Barrow in RISE? MTV has the first two chapters here.

PS - Chapter 2: Steamy!

RIFT is here!

RIFT hits stores today! Huzzah!

I'm so excited for readers to meet new characters, share their adventures, and learn more about the Nightshade world.

Some highlights about the release:

1) You can read RIFT even if you haven't read the Nightshade series yet. This is a new story and while it's set in the same world as Nightshade it stands alone as a novel. For fans of the Nightshade trilogy, RIFT will answer many questions about how the Witches War began.

2) Special edition: Wal-Mart is offering an exclusive edition of RIFT that includes a short story "Restless Blood" about what Logan Bane is up to following the events of BLOODROSE.

3) Speaking of BLOODROSE - it's out in paperback today!

4) Launch party! Tonight at 6 p.m. I'll be signing RIFT at Books of Wonder.

5) Want signed books but can't make the party? Books of Wonder is offering specials on your orders of signed Nightshade books. Contact them and they'll get signed copies to you!

6) Web site updates: BLOODROSE and RIFT soundtracks are now posted on the Sound Scripts tab of my web site, www.andreacremer.com,  as well as the RISE playlist.

Thank you so much for continuing to share the joy of reading and writing with me! Hope to see you at a tour stop soon!
