Today and tomorrow, I will be taking part in a special event hosted by the blogosphere's own Father Dragon, who is dedicating his first year of blogging to those who welcomed him and touched his life - I'm honored to be in his list of the best bloggers I know. Come crash the party here!

Released is a couple weeks back is the first book in the Dark One duology, Dark One's Mistress, by Aldrea Alien (From Goodreads).
Clara doesn't put much stock in village gossip, until she finds herself forcibly taken to the Lord's fortress. Escape is not easy. She has no way out and, against a man with magic, little chance of fighting back. But the Lords are still men and the death of Lucias' father is proof that they die just the same. And yet, if Lucias dies heirless, his army will be free to terrorise the land. Such is the goal of Lenora of Ne'ermore, an old enemy and ex-prisoner of the kingdom. She is sending a man to slaughter Lucias and, to ensure there's no chance of an heir, his mistress must die as well.
Caught between regaining her freedom or losing it for the good of the kingdom, Clara struggles to decide her path before certain death breaches the gates.
Congrats on your release, Aldrea! Dark Lords are awesome. Much better than Sith Lords, who have cookies. Dark Lords have fondu!

I'd like to give a special THANK YOU to Jeremy Hawkins (who happens to be a zombie fan, and my Undead Road MC happens to also be Jeremy, and I almost used the last name Hawkins for Jeremy, in honor of a high school friend of mine - small world - but I digress) for making this awesome Cheersfest button! Feel free to use it if you're participating in the fest or if you simply feel like spreading the word.December the 9th can't come fast enough!

Update: this is it - the last week of NaNo! I'm 3 chapters/5K words away from completing The Undead Road! If all goes according to plan, I'll have this thing read and edited a couple of times before sending it off to betas. Mingling that with another (big top secret project), my December is going to be a full one. I can't think of a better way to end the year! Best of luck to finishing your NaNos!
Had a change to check out Sir Father Dragon's party? Does Dark One's Mistress sound up your alley? Excited for Cheerfest?

I'm David, and "we're gonna need a bigger ... never mind ..."
Good luck with the wrap up to NaNo! Sounds like you're almost there . . .
ReplyDeleteKeep writing!
ReplyDeleteJeremy always makes the best graphics. He did my header, which totally rocks.
And Al's celebration this morning was amazing. I didn't even realize I was his second follower.
Thank you for the shout-out, Sir David, my friend. And after the party, we'll take a ride at high dragon speed. ;)
ReplyDeleteDragon speed!? WOOHOOO! Nice tribute, David for a wonderful friend.
ReplyDeleteWow, only three chapters away? That's so impressive! Good luck wrapping this WIP up in time for your betas to read!
ReplyDeleteYou had to end that with the Noah trailer? I don't know what I think about that. Or the fact that Crowe is going to play Noah. There's something inherently wrong with that.
ReplyDeleteGo go go with those zombies. So close! And I'm actually excited to see NOAH. :)
ReplyDeleteHappy writing as you near the end of NaNo. Dragons sure know how to throw a party!
ReplyDeleteCongrats on almost completing your NaNo manuscript. That's awesome!
ReplyDeleteAwesome party over at the dragon's lair. And congrats on NaNo. Glad it's going successfully.
ReplyDeleteYEAH! That's awesome about NaNo, David! And top secret project? *ears perk up* I'm about 15K away from finishing NaNo, but I plan on catching up this week and then when this book's done, maybe I can finally start my epic fantasy!
ReplyDeleteI'm glad NaNo is going so well, David! You'll have a busy and productive finish to the year!
