Nu är det inte lång tid kvar innan min nästa bok kommer att publiceras. "Stjärnfall" kommer att finnas tillgänglig som e-bok inom 1-2 veckor. Från början tänkte inte jag trycka den, men nu har jag tänkt om. Jag kommer dock endast att trycka några få exemplar eftersom fokus kommer att ligga på e-boken, så vill du ha en gäller det att vara ute i god tid. Håll ögonen öppna!

Leker lite.
Ibland är det verkligen roligt att bara leka och experimentera fram olika bilder! Det här är en simpel bild, men ändå riktigt läcker, tycker jag! Är väldigt nöjd med den.

Omslaget till "Angel in chains"
Efter mycket om och men lyckades jag till slut hitta de rätta bilderna för min första engelska bok. Nu är omslaget färdigt! Här har ni en kort text om bokens handling:
The last thing Inez expected to find inside the cave that appered from nowhere was a chained angel.
Intervju med Heather Killough-Walden.
Heather Killough-Walden har självpublicerat över 20 böcker. Hon är en av New York Times bästsäljande författare och skriver bland annat om änglar, vampyrer och varulvar. Hennes böcker finns att köpa hos till exempel Amazon och finns tillgängliga för Kindle och Kobo. Här kan du läsa en intervju jag gjort med Heather.
“Never give in, never give in, never, never, never-in nothing,
great or small, large or petty - never give in except to convictions of honour
and good sense. Never yield to force; never yield to the apparently
overwhelming might of the enemy.” It was a tribute to strength and perseverance,
written and spoken by a great man. Of course, it was about war. But then so is
writing.
How
has self-publishing changed your life?
Like most writers - and I'm talking about something like 999 out
of every 1,000 - I hopelessly banged my poor fragile head against the steel
wall of god-complexed print publishers and failed. For ten years. For some
reason, the editors who accept manuscripts for publishers, and also the agents
who show the manuscripts to those publishers in the first place - don't
normally recognize a best seller when they see one. Which became obvious when
self publishing turned into a reality with Kindle and Nook and other eBook
publishers who opened the door for indie authors... who then went on to publish
and make bestseller lists left and right. Like me. So self-publishing didn't
only change my life, it MADE my life. I am now a New York Times bestselling
author. Because I published myself.
Why
would you recommend other authors to try self-publishing?
The bottleneck frustration of attempting
to print publish is no longer a necessary suicide-inducing evil. See above.
How
did your career as an author start?
I’ve been writing since I was five. I love words. I adore them
like I adore autumn and pumpkin patches and Trick-or-Treating and thunder
storms and kittens. They are my faithful companions - my loyal friends. My
career as an author is not actually a career so much as a life choice. The way
some people are Christians. Or vegetarians. Or octogenarians.
Sorry.
Needed another “-arian” in there.
Which
of your books would you recommend new readers to start with and why?
It
would depend on which genre they preferred. If they like romantic actions and
thrillers, then Hell Bent. Actually, no matter what they like, I would probably
recommend this one first. It’s my favorite. It’s just about everyone’s favorite
once they’ve read it.
If
they like paranormal romance, then start with the Big Bad Wolf series (intense
beginnings – awesome, incredible, justifying ending) and move on into the Kings
series, which is a direct spinoff of the BBW.
If
angels are their thing, then clearly there’s the Lost Angels series. Azrael is
a tempting literary morsel….
Young
adult paranormal romance fans (Twilight fans) will find what they’re looking
for with Sam, Dominic, and Logan in The October Trilogy.
Intermediate
and young adult fans who like to grow with the literature (the way readers did
with Harry Potter) will love Forever Neverland. This one’s a masterpiece.
As
is Redeemer, but in a different way. Redeemer is grown up, hard-hitting,
action-packed, intense, and not for the weak of spirit or closed of mind.
Romantic undertones galore (not to mention vampires), but there’s a very adult
message to this one.
A
Sinister Game is a stand-alone romantic science fiction and fantasy novel that
is as sinfully hot as it is because I wrote it after dreaming of its main male
character. When this happens, I am able to incorporate the most intensely,
darkly charismatic attributes to my bad/good guys. It makes them undeniably
dream-worthy in return. This one is a must-read.
If
they want a few vampire romance novellas (that are really not that short at
all), go for Vampire, Vampire. Both are
hot. One is definitely not for prudes.
The
Chosen Soul series is fantasy romance – devils, witches, elves – in a world
filled with undeniable lust, powerful passions, and more magic and might than
you could shake a wand at. Ask anyone who has read this series to tell you
about Drake of Tanith… and watch their eyes glaze over with longing.
How
does a regular writing day look like for you?
There are no regular writing days. They’re all different and
unpredictable and bizarre (and inordinately full). My mind is a blissfully and
terribly UNregular place to be. ;)

The Kings-serien av Heather Killough-Walden.
Heather Killough-Waldens senaste serie är The Kings. Rekommenderas för dig som gillar att läsa paranormal romance-böcker. Observera att de riktar sig till vuxna. Här nedan kan du läsa om de böcker som kommit ut. Imorgon kan du se fram emot att läsa en intervju med Heather där hon bland annat pratar om självpublicering.
It
was immediate for Roman. In three thousand years, he’d never lost control of
his emotions, or his heart. But the moment he laid eyes on Evelynne Farrow, he
knew she was the woman who haunted his dreams. And everything changed.
Everything.
Evie
Farrow has always loved a good vampire romance. In fact, she makes a living
writing them. While sitting in a coffee shop and working on her next mega-hot
book, Evie is approached by a tall, dark, and handsome man who could have been
pulled directly from one of her novels.
Unbeknownst
to her, Roman D’Angelo is exactly what he appears to be – a vampire, and not
just any vampire, but the king of vampires.
Unfortunately,
while Roman is both ancient and invulnerable, Evie is flesh and blood. Just as
Roman decides that he and Evie have a date with destiny, for reasons of their
own, an ancient god and a homicidal vampire take an equally strong interest in
her.
Can
Roman fight off the incredible forces that would have Evie as their own long
enough to win her heart, or will destiny betray him and destroy everything he
has ever dreamed of?
A mighty power is awakening, wreaking
havoc on the supernatural world. The 13 Kings, their queens, the werewolf
nation, and the witch covens with their high leader, Lalura Chantelle, must
band together and stand strong in the face of a dawning nightmare that
threatens the very fabric of all they hold dear… and from which none may
escape.
“Lalura
had told him about her vision. Thirteen kings on a chess board – and thirteen
queens….”
THE PHANTOM KING - BOOK 2
Siobhan Ashdown was born of magic; it rides
her blood like a phantom, tainted and dark and unpredictable. She is a warlock,
and the power within her is unlike any before known to her kind. So it’s no
surprise that the most powerful of the demons who feed off of this warlock
magic not only recognizes the enormous potential she represents but determines
that he will possess her at any cost.
Even if it means war with the entire
supernatural world.
Thanatos has ruled Purgatory as the Phantom
King since time immemorial. King of a vast plane of solitude, he is a free
spirit, a lone rider, a tattooed man of wind and dust and nonexistent
boundaries. Then he turns around one morning to find himself face to face with
Siobhan Ashdown, a woman with hair as red and wild as his soul, eyes like
melted gold, and a spirit as elusive as his own. Time stops, the world tilts,
and the fact that she attacks him right off the bat does little to deter his
romantic convictions.
Thirteen Kings are severed by lust and
greed, an ancient vampire and his rogue creation lay claim to what is not
theirs, the whisperings of war begin to shake the foundation of the
supernatural world, and primordial evil awakens from its slumber to slither
across the land in this second installment in the Big Bad Wolf spinoff series,
The Kings, by Heather Killough-Walden.
Jason Alberich wears the crown of the sovereign of the warlocks,
a dark breed that uses darker magic. He wears it well, skillfully wielding a
power that would corrupt others. Yet he has paid the price for his control,
bearing the scars of a time when his power had control over him. He is haunted
by the regrets of a shady past and now lives each day and night with an
isolated soul.
Chloe Septeran is an Akyri like no other. A member of a race
that must depend upon warlocks for sustenance in exchange for servitude, Chloe
runs from the dark magic users, choosing instead to live free of their hold.
She has existed empty and “hungry,” but stubbornly free of the warlock’s dark
embrace. However, now the fates have chosen to bring her running to a halt, as
the 13 Kings each discover their queens – and the Warlock King discovers his.
A mighty power is awakening, wreaking havoc on the supernatural
world. The 13 Kings, their queens, the werewolf nation, and the witch covens
with their high leader, Lalura Chantelle, must band together and stand strong
in the face of a dawning nightmare that threatens the very fabric of all they
hold dear… and from which none may escape.
Damon Chroi has known the weight of ruling
in loneliness for thousands of years. The tall, painfully handsome fae lord was
born with so much power, the fae kings not only envied but feared him, and
banished him to a forbidden realm to be forgotten. There, he was tasked with
ruling over the deadliest creatures known to the fae worlds, and his veritable
battle as their sovereign is never-ending. As one of the 13 Kings, his destiny
foretells an end to his solitude with the appearance of an equally powerful
queen. But that kind of power is hard to come by. And power or not, Damon can’t
imagine any woman willingly joining him in the eternal misery to which he has
been tasked.
Until he meets the beautiful, strong and
selfless Diana Piper.
Diana has been hiding a potent secret from
the world for decades. She was born with abilities others would fight to win,
and kill to keep. To make matters worse, she is a sensitive soul who, despite
the danger it poses to herself, uses these powers to make the world a better
place. Forever in harm’s way, overworked and head strong, Diana one night comes
across the ultimate challenge in the form of a wayward fae beast – and in the
process, crosses paths with its indomitable king. A light can only shine in the
darkness so long before someone takes note of it. And Diana not only manages to
gain the instant attentions of Damon Chroi… but of those who would do anything
to see him – and the other 13 Kings – dead.

Fyra böcker i en om varulvar!
Go back to the beginning and experience the sweet, sinful
sensation of the big bad boys who started it all. ;)Enjoy Heather Killough-Walden's critically
acclaimed, New York Times bestselling Big Bad Wolf series, now combined in one
tome of sexual tension, romantic suspense and dark paranormal bliss....
The Heat, Book One
Lily
St. Claire is a simple Southern girl who has no idea what she is in for when
she decides to move back to her home town in Louisiana after a decade of being
away. But between the two very different alpha werewolves who instantly begin
fighting to claim her as their mate and the serial killer who has her in his
sites, she's about to find out.
The Strip, Book Two (warning, contains graphic violence)
Green-eyed
Malcolm Cole is a cursed werewolf, an alpha in the most powerful sense who has
given up hope for any kind of happiness or peace in his life.
Until
he catches wind of Claire.
Claire
St.James, Charlie among friends, is an amazing young woman with an incredibly
special gift. Cole recognizes this at once and swears on the spot to claim
Charlie as his mate.
Of
course, he isn't the only one with such plans. Charlie is too precious to let
go without a fight, and one of the most powerful alphas in the world has
already staked a claim, whether Charlie - or Cole - like it or not.
The Spell, Book Three
Dannai,
aka the Healer, has begun dreaming of werewolves. She'd always been able to
hide the fact that she was a dormant, using her magic to shield her promising
scent from the alphas she's been forced to work with. But now that they've
invaded her dreams, her world has been turned upside down. For, though every
dormant dreams of her intended mate - Dannai is dreaming of two wolves, not
one. And neither one of them is good news. One is a notorious killer. The other
is Lucas Caige.
Lucas
Caige is a man with a haunting past. A warlock took his brother from him fifty
years ago and he's spent his life outrunning that dark magic. But fate has a
way of throwing sand in your gears, and just when Caige thought he could
forever leave behind the magic that brought pain to his life, his path crosses
that of the Healer. Dannai unwittingly casts her spell over him the moment he
lays eyes on her. She's stunning, she's kind, and everything about her wreaks
havoc on his senses. She's also magic incarnate.
But
if Dannai thinks that's going to stop him from doing everything in his power to
make her his mate, the little witch has another thing coming.
The Hunt, Book Four
Byron
Caige has been a prisoner for the last fifty years of his supernaturally long
life. Just when he gives up hope of ever knowing freedom again, he is
unwittingly rescued by the very same woman who only wants to see him dead.
Katherine Dare – Kat – is smart, fast, strong and beautiful – but unfortunately
she’s a Hunter, and she’s convinced that Byron murdered her father twenty years
ago.
She’s
also Byron’s dormant.
As
war breaks out amongst the otherworldly of Earth and threatens the existence of
entire races, Kat is faced with a terrible decision. Should she give up her
cause and believe Caige when he professes his innocence? Or should she fight
him and possibly avenge her father’s taken life – even while she forfeits her
own?
