As this new year rolls around, and my final work-for-hire novel, HALO: RENEGADES is finally done and set to release next month (Feb 19), I'll be able to turn some of my attention back to some work-in-waiting. I always say every year that I hope to turn back to self-publishing, but seems every time I do, I get offered new work contracts which pulls me away again. I realize it's not perhaps a positive thing for those who enjoy my self-published works as the wait time has become embarrassingly & extraordinarily long, however, it is the right path for me to put traditional publishing as the priority.<br />
<br />
For those who might not understand: The Gods & Monsters series is no longer supported by a publisher. The last book (4th) and any future books are firmly in the self publishing realm. As well as the Fire & Frost books. I work on them when time allows -- which is very little but some nonetheless. Life throws us lots of curve balls and shoves us off track, and I'm no exception.<br />
<br />
I also realize another message like this from me is not something people want to hear (I have read your messages and I know the wait sucks--I'm really sorry about that!) I love Ari and Deira as much as you do. I love Violet and Sebastian and the Fire Breathers... Just know that I haven't forgotten these stories and one day they'll be books and it'll be a nice surprise for those still interested in seeing what happens next. Thanks for loving these stories so much and hanging in there.K.http://www.blogger.com/profile/07021443799614584092noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8226067009814216141.post-86409129516482189562015-02-17T06:50:00.000-08:002015-02-20T07:16:03.220-08:00HEART OF STONE is live!Release Day is here for the 4th Gods & Monsters novel!

A CHILD FATED TO START A WAR.<br />
A LOVE SHE’LL RISK EVERYTHING TO PROTECT.</b></div>
<br />
Set in New 2, a dangerous and lush alternate New Orleans, the fourth book in Keaton’s Gods & Monsters series, finds the God-killer Ari and Mistborn Sebastian on the hunt for Archer, infant son of Athena, a child fated to bring about the Blood Wars, the ultimate showdown between the gods and the monsters they created, a war that will trap mankind in the middle of a destructive conflict thousands of years in the making. <br />
<br />
<i>As Ari and Sebastian attempt to rescue the child, forces pull them apart, sending Sebastian on a perilous journey to the desert sands of Egypt and into the lair of a dark, enthralling entity, and Ari to the Halls of Olympus and, darker still, the very heart of the Underworld where Death awaits with a bargain that brings Ari’s worst nightmares into sharp and heart wrenching focus.</i><br />

<br />
<br />
Just a few things. HEART OF STONE is not available for pre-order. However, it will be available for purchase on Feb. 17th. Just four days away! <br />
<br />
E-book versions for Kindle, Nook, iTunes, etc. will be offered at all the major online retailers.<br />
<br />
Paperback copies will be ready to purchase directly from Createspace (Amazon) on Feb 17th, and will be made available to purchase from most major online bookstores when the files feed to these stores. You might find the paperback listing the same day as release, or it might take a day or two to feed out. This is something that's out of my hands, but hopefully it'll feed quickly and the paperback will be available same day everywhere!<br />
<br />
Best,<br />
<br />

Mine was hectic, fun, and filled with family and friends. After a very busy (and personally crazy) few months, I'm so glad to share some progress with you all. The cover, title, and description for the fourth Gods & Monsters novel. I hope you love it as much as I do! Mae I Designs, the designer of the cover, did an amazing job of capturing the mood and feel of the book while keeping in tune with the brand of the other 3 covers. The release date for the book is<strong> February 17th</strong>. I know this is beyond what I anticipated. My daughter is having hip surgery between now and then, and I've had to readjust the timing in order to care for her. I could rush it, but the goal is to put out the best book possible, and this time (with Indie publishing it myself), I want to make sure you get the same great quality of book that you're used to. So lots of editing, copy editing, and proofreading!<br />
<br />
The book is not yet available for pre-order. However, it is now listed on Goodreads for those who wish to add to their book list.<br />
<br />
<br />
Happy New Year!<br />

And Simon & Schuster has released me from my option and I'm free and clear to write more in the Gods & Monsters series in the Indie arena! I'm so excited about this. I am done with the rough draft of Ari 4. Yup, that's right. There will be a fourth book! I'm not yet able to give an exact date yet as I'm still rewriting, then must go through copy-editing, proofing, cover design, finalizing title, etc... But, it's progress! :D<br />

No title as of yet, but we have a release month -- September 2013.

So to clarify: Embers is part one of a two-part series. <br />
<br />
So, Kelly, why not just write one big, gigantic book instead you ask? Well, for a lot of reasons. In Embers, there is a very defined external goal, and in the end Deira, my character, achieves that goal. It was a natural way to end that part of the overall story arc. To put both parts into one book would make the book nearly 200,000 words. (An average for a full-length novel is anywhere from 80-100k words, give or take). Trying revise, edit, and make sure everything is consistent from start to finish is tough even in a regular length novel. To do that in a 200k novel is absolutely doable, of course, but not something I wanted to (or could) tackle due to my schedule, and I just prefer to write (and read) regular length novels. Splitting them up made more sense for this storyteller. So the external goal was accomplished in part one, and the relationship issue will see resolution in part two.<br />
<br />
Part two is coming in 2013. ;-) Hope this helped clear things up!<br />
<br />
Have a great day!K.http://www.blogger.com/profile/07021443799614584092noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8226067009814216141.post-5320495611987650012012-11-15T07:27:00.002-08:002020-04-17T11:31:27.016-07:00New Release!<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

<span style="font-family: inherit;">Right now the book is e-book only, but I am working on bringing you a print version in the coming month. It’s a full-length novel, priced at $3.99. You can find it here at </span><a href="http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00A4JG8Z8#_"><span style="color: blue; font-family: inherit;">Amazon</span></a><span style="font-family: inherit;">, </span><a href="http://www.barnesandnoble.com/w/embers-in-a-dark-frost-kelly-keaton/1113774766?ean=2940015831795"><span style="color: blue; font-family: inherit;">B&N</span></a><span style="font-family: inherit;">, and </span><a href="https://www.smashwords.com/books/view/253350"><span style="color: blue; font-family: inherit;">Smashwords</span></a><span style="font-family: inherit;">. (For those with Apple devices, the book is currently awaiting approval. I’m hoping it goes through the system in the next couple days). Smashwords offers online reading and downloading of several formats, so those Apple folks who want to read now, this might be a good place to pick up the book.</span><br />

Being my own publisher is both exciting and nerve-wracking! The learning curve
was huge, but I wanted to learn every aspect myself, from hiring the cover
artist, copyeditor, proofer, to formatting and uploading. Every new release
comes with a myriad of emotions, but this release mirrors my first published
title in so many ways... Release Day Crazies! :D</div>

For those curious, this is <em>not</em> YA or urban fantasy, and it's not tied into any of my other series. It's a new self-publishing venture. :-) It also falls into the New Adult niche with a heroine who is out of her teen years and trying to figure out her place in life and what she wants. She learns quite a bit about herself, her world, and relationships -- both physically and emotionally. It's alternate world, inspired by celtic mythology, and I think it will appeal to the adult readers (men and women) of my YA and my Urban Fantasies. <br />
<br />
Okay, on to the good stuff: Tada! The cover:<br />

<strong>Description:</strong><br />
<br />
The Fire Breathers have come. The Underworld calls. A choice must be made… <br />
<br />
With her feared half blood and flame-colored hair, DEIRA D'ANU is a constant reminder of human betrayal and the war that claimed the light from Innis Fail. Now, darkness and frost creep across the land, strengthening the Lord of the Underworld. War is imminent—an allegiance with the Fire Breathers is vital. When their champion, Balen, sees Deira, he believes she is the key to finding the light and stopping the dark frost. <br />
<br />
But the Underworld calls to Deira, tempting her to turn her back on a world that never cared and betray the champion willing to sacrifice everything to keep her safe and save his world from darkness.<br />

I'm going to reveal the cover on Friday, so stay tuned, people!<br />
<br />
What makes me crazy excited about the project, is that I'm doing it myself. That's right. You heard me. <em>Myself.</em> It'll be my first self pub title. *dances* And it's a story I absolutely LOVE. So, you ready for the title?<br />

The book is Adult Fantasy. Heroine driven. Inspired by Irish mythology. It's a quest/self discovery type of story that also includes a romantic/sensual storyline. It is not YA or a Happily Ever After romance. </div>
