Cover Art, Video & Other Things

I know it's been a long time (too long) since I've updated the blog. Things have been extremely chaotic in my home. Since November we've been battling various flu viruses. None of them have been kind. Combined with the holiday season, I didn't have a whole lot of time to do anything (except complain on Facebook). Fortunately I have some exciting news that, I hope, will excuse the absence.

As I've mentioned previously, I'm attending the SF Ball in Bournemouth this February where Reload Comics will be selling a comic version of Eyes On Me (a short story from the Rhiannon's Law series). All proceeds will go to the Teenage Cancer Trust. I was thrilled to be able to take part of something so amazing while also helping those in need.

Recently I received the cover art for the comic:

Then, today, Fwah Storm provided me with a link to a video showing the coloring process of the comic:

For those who've asked, Reload will have any remaining copies for sale on their website following the event. I'll also be hitting the recording studio for The 11th Hour while I'm in the UK. If any video is shot (they've been compiling clips of the actors each session) I'll be sure to share.

Thanks again for all your emails, support and continued generosity. Although time has been limited I have managed to get some writing done.To answer a few other questions: Yes, there are more books following Vampire Mine (which is still my main priority at the moment). There will also be (at this time) two more books following Marked. I will be writing the follow-up to Make Me Shiver (entitled Make Me Surrender) as well. I have decided I will be unplugging from the internet in March (much like I did in August) to get work done prior to the summer. As soon as I have a solid schedule in place, I'll let you know where certain projects stand. Have no fear, my assistant Holly will be around to answer any questions while I'm away.

I'm wishing you all my best in 2013!

P.S. I almost forgot! A Kiss Before Dying is being re-released as Kiss Before Dying at Ellora's Cave under the Aline Hunter pen. It's a bit hotter and a few hundred words longer. I'll also be attending the Sassy Seven Naughty Sleepover in San Antonio in February. If you're in the area, I hope to see you there!

Marked is Here

Hiya, everyone! Release day has finally arrived. Marked is available for purchase at Ellora's Cave. Just click on the cover to redirect. I'll update with purchase links as I receive them.

Blurb:

Fantasy becomes reality if you carry the mark...

Chloe Bryant doesn’t know what to expect when she enters The Wolf’s Den. Drawn to the werewolf tattoo parlor for reasons she can’t explain, she soon discovers the sexy man from her dreams isn’t a figment of her imagination. Not only is Jackson Donovan real, but he explains the dreams they shared are due to their destined mating. It can’t be possible. She’s not a werewolf. Even if he swears the mark on her wrist indicates otherwise.

Jackson is stunned to discover the beautiful minx from his dreams isn’t a full-blooded werewolf but a Halfling. The only way to uncover Chloe’s past is to stake a claim to her future. By taking the delectable female into his bed, he’ll unlock every secret she has to hide -- as well as awaken the passion she’s tucked away for too long -- by exploring her mind, body and soul one sweet inch at a time.

A Long Overdue Update

Hola, peeps! I'm so sorry I've been MIA for so long. Things have been chaotic these last few months. Between travel, the kiddos, work, school and a loss in the family (our fur baby, Caesar, passed away while we were in Las Vegas) there hasn't been a lot of time to relax and unwind. Forgive me for neglecting the blog. I wanted to post since Enemy Mine releases in print (November 27th) followed by a brand new series, starting with the first story Marked (November 28th). To celebrate I'll be having a contest on my Facebook author page starting tomorrow. I'm giving away an Ellora's Cave gift card. The winner will be announced bright and early on November 28th. If you're interested swing by and leave a comment.

In other (exciting) news: I've been invited to the SF Ball in Bournemouth, England in February. After speaking with my brilliant friend and artist Fwah Storm, I graciously accepted the invitation and got to work on a one shot Rhiannon and Disco comic that will be distributed by Reload. All proceeds will go to the Teenage Cancer Trust, a charity I'm thrilled to support.

But wait, there's more.

See the image above? That's a character Fwah created in his Jericho series based off yours truly. Recently he announced his series is becoming a motion comic. So when I'm in Bournemouth, I'll be hitting the studio to record Agent Red's scenes in The 11th Hour. I'm super excited and can't wait to attend the sessions with other members of the cast.

As for writing...

I'm still working on Vampire Mine. When that's done I'll be wrapping up Make Me Surrender (which is halfway written), followed by Twisted in Knots. For those who've asked, I will be finishing the Crimson trilogy and writing more in the Rhiannon's Law series. I can't give you a time frame yet, but I hope to release several books next year. Thank you for your patience, emails and continued support. I'll do my best to bring stories to you as soon as possible.

With that, I'm off again. We've gotten our Christmas tree and it's time to decorate. I hope you enjoy a blessed holiday season surrounded by those you love most. Eat, drink and be merry!

Knock...Knock...

I'm sorry I've been away. Here is a video about what's been going on. Thank you again for checking in and for all your emails. To let you know, I'm doing a giveaway on my Facebook author page. Details are here:

Hope to be back soon. Wishing you all well!!

The Ripple Effect now in print!

Thanks!

MIA For A While

Hello, fans of J.A. Saare. My name is Holly, and I'm working as Ms. Saare's assistant. She asked me to share the following blog post, as well as answer any questions you may have.

Thanks!

________________________________________________________

Talk about an amazing week. Although I haven't been online, my awesome friend-turned-assistant Holly filled me on everything. I’m thrilled so many of you enjoyed The Ripple Effect and are eager for more. In fact, your interest in future books is a partial reason for this blog post. Without going into unnecessary detail, I’ll say that with life and work commitments, I’m not going to be online the rest of this year. I have to focus on matters that are of great importance -- primarily my family -- while I am fortunate enough to do so. But all is not doom and gloom. I’ve actually managed to hire my friend-turned-assistant full-time to keep you up to date on release dates and future works.

Since I can’t be online, Holly will keep everything running smoothly across my social network cyberverse. If you have a question, she’ll have the answer. Please bear with her as she gets into the swing of things. Not only does she have to get my Twitter and Facebook under control, she’s also working through my emails and such. I apologize in advance for any inconvenience. Life has a way of inserting itself in the middle of your world and making you redirect your focus. Hopefully things will take an upswing and I’ll be back sooner rather than later. And before I forget: thank you for your well wishes. They mean a lot to me. I’m crossing my fingers that lady luck shines down on those I love and care for and everything settles into place.  

As for other things: I received my cover for Marked (which will release at EC at some point in the future). I’ve included the image above (click on cover to read the blurb). When I receive any new information, I’ll be sure it’s passed along. Hope you all have enjoyed the summer.

**Forgive any typos and/or errors. Writing a blog post on a cell phone isn't as easy as I thought it might be.**

The Ripple Effect -- Release Day!

It's finally here. Release day! As I stated before, I'm writing this blog in advance. So let me say this: I hope you enjoy the book, although I expect many of you might not. It's my darkest work to date. I'm crossing my fingers and toes.

As always -- thank you for your continued support and  generosity.
