About Ashes and Ice:

I have dreamed of being a novelist for YEARS. Ashes and Ice is based off of a character sketch I wrote when I was 12. After being introduced to the AMAZING Indie community, I published Ashes and Ice in February 2013. I was floored when within 24 hours of release, Ashes and Ice was on Three Top 100 Bestsellers Lists. Ashes and Ice was also voted #1 for Best YA Book Cover of 2013. I was so grateful to all the bloggers and readers who helped to make Ashes and Ice so successful. 

********** Dark YA Fantasy **********

Summary:

She is desperate to remember.
He is aching to forget.
Together, they are not broken.
But together, one may not survive.

​Jade wakes up with no memory of her past and blood on her hands. 

Plagued by wicked thoughts, she searches for answers. Instead, she finds a boy who doesn't offer her answers, but hope. But sometimes, when nightmares turn into reality and death follows you everywhere, hope is not enough. 

LUST. LOVE. LOSS. Sometimes, all that is left are Ashes and Ice.

What I Need & What You Get:

Well, after a lot of thought and consideration I decided I wanted to release an extended edition of Ashes and Ice to my readers. I have been in contact with two incredible actors who are willing to be narration for the Ashes and Ice audiobook AND I am antsy to release the sequel to Ashes and Ice! All this awesomeness takes moolah. If I waited till I had this amount of money to invest in this series it may take me well into 2014 or even 2015 to pull the cash together and I would LOVE to get this series done and published way before then. THAT is where you come in!

Where is the money going?

• $700 for editing and marketing costs for the re-release of the extended edition of Ashes and Ice
• $2000 for producing, releasing, and marketing the Ashes and Ice Audiobook
• $4000 for editing, formatting, cover design, and marketing for Book 2
• $1300 for a print run for 250 Books
• STRETCH GOAL! (Total of 12k) $4000 for editing, formatting, cover design, and marketing for Book 3

Every single dollar gets me (and this series) a step closer to this $8k (or 12k stretch) goal. I know how phenomenal the Indie Book community is and have faith that we can get this project off the ground. I also know that you gorgeous donators deserve PRIZES! What kind of prizes are we talking about??

Here's a snapshot of the hotness coming your way:

My Promise:

If I can get my STRETCH GOAL of $12k fully funded, I will publish the whole Trilogy by April 2014!

Yeah, that freaks me out a little bit, but if you believe in me enough to get me to my goal then I will work my ass off to get you this story AS SOON AS POSSIBLE. 

Wow, here we go!

I am so freakin' excited that I am practically doing cartwheels in my living room. I HEART all of you and I am sending you all a gigantic cyber hug!
