Mark Of The Witch debuts June 1st 2012

Hello there! I am super excited to share some info on Jessica Gibson's novel Mark of the Witch. It is book one in the Boston Witch's Series that will be available for ebook and paperback on June 1st 2012 aka tomorrow. First of let me tell you I know Jessica first hand and she is the sweetest soul I have yet met. Her work is amazing and I can say that honestly as I was a beta tester for this book (that's how we met folks!)

So let me introduce you to my dear friend, author Jessica Gibson!

So sassy right? (can't wait till she reads this haha!) Honestly though she is feisty but in all the right ways.


And here is the gorgeous cover!




Doesn't the beautiful Jilly look stunning and powerful! I can't wait till my copy comes in! (*coughs*)


Jessica offered us a sneak peak excerpt and I of course snatched it up like a rabid dog for you guys! So here it is!
________________________________
Oh, and Jilly, you really shouldn’t be in the habit of meeting strange people at night. I could have been a strangler for all you knew,” he said with a hint of reproach in his voice.

    “Oh, I wouldn’t worry too much about me, William; it’s the strangler who should be worried,” Jilly said with a viscous gleam in her eyes while she vigorously rubbed her palms together until they glowed brightly in the moonlight. “Care to shake my hand, Mr. Strangler?” she asked with a laugh as she stuck her hand out to him.

    “Ok, I’m game, let’s see what you’ve got up your sleeve,” he said as he grabbed her hand. Almost instantly he was on the ground, writhing in pain. “Well, I will say that tonight I’m glad that I cannot die; that sure packs a punch. I think I could feel my heart stop for a second,” he said, a little winded, as he propped himself up into a sitting position and rubbed his hand.

    “Yeah, I figured I’d give you a real show tonight,” she said as she walked away.

He watched her go, still sitting on the ground, and said, “Until tomorrow then,” almost under his breath.

You may not know this yet but William is dreamy and Jilly is fierce, two characters that will draw you in and carry you on a journey you won't regret indulging on. Available at Amazon in paperback and for kindle. Get your copy June 1st!

What an amazing weekend! I'm almost relieved to see monday rearing its ugly head, almost.

Well I've already told you all about my wonderful adventure at comic con, (minus the story about Dean Cain winking at me and my response being to run in terror. Seriously have you seen him in those lifetime movies, he's so creepy!? It was over powering my memory of him as Clark Kent.) Anyway!

I have some exciting, amazing, fantastical news to share. Finding Alice hit #20 on Amazon's top 100 Best selling ebooks!!!! I took a picture as I nearly fell off of my chair.



I mean wow just wow. Thank you for your interest and love for Alice's story. I am extremely excited and it really gave me the fuel to force the household to allow me to finish book 2. I'm so excited I want to give away stuff, so anyone who has read Finding Alice tell me your favorite line or excerpt. If you haven't tell me about your love for fallen angels and/or paranormal anything! Will start off with some bookmarks and key chains and maybe even a copy of Finding Alice.

Motor City Comic Con meets Alice...and me

I feel as if I have run myself in circles and my head may fall off at any moment. Who has the duct tape? I may have overloaded my schedule a bit; moving, Comic Con, raising a toddler, writing a sequel, co-writing a novel. (I could go on but really let's not.)

All day on saturday I was at the Motor City Comic Con dressed in my Rasha wardrobe as Seeretah all while sitting at a booth with a load of copies of Finding Alice and FA swag. Yes folks Finding Alice was at motor city comic con! Big thank you to Iron Core Media for inviting me!

I only got a few pics due to me staying stationary at the booth. I thought I share my badass wardrobe, Sean Patrick Flannery (I took those specifically for my best friend Melissa), Chewbacca and Vader.

Comic Con bound

My booth mate the lovely Erica Blair (also in Rasha and a million other things.)

Rasha wardrobe.

Flannery, yes i know this is blurry but he's play fighting what can you do?

Flannery's backside. yup.

Do I really need to say?

My brother makes the Chewy sound. Dead serious.
Fun fact: when I was pregnant my brother would make the chewy noise and
my son would move to which ever side of my belly the sound was coming from.

Why do you write so dark?

I was asked by a fan, "Andrea, why do you write so dark?" To which I replied, "I forgot my sunglasses."

Truth be told we laughed about it, loudly. I mean of course we did that was the best answer to ever roll off my tongue! When I started writing I was told to write what I know; that happened to be a dark world filled with emotional baggage. I'm always filled with sarcasm and as my girlfriend's and I call it, "the darkness," both of which have always been a part of not only my writing but myself. The more I plug away at Alice's Sacrifice, the more I see how true that is. I love that my sarcasm creeps in through some characters more than others. I truly enjoy using the darkness as an advantage or an inner struggle to fuel themselves as apposed to the evil or bad side. Let's be honest here my characters are technically on the wrong side of a large battle and you are all rooting for them (that was the plan anyway.) I don't see them on the "wrong side" of good and evil, I see them in the gray cloud of chaos fighting for their right to exist and to love. Well I know i've felt as if I was on the wrong side of a battle once or twice and I always hoped someone was rooting for me to making it through.

Life is hard,  just yesterday while packing I found a poetic short journal entry I wrote after a long day of hell and it was sad. The debate between quitting and fighting is a hard choice but I hope that you find strength in what I have overcome as I share more about me as not only and author but as a human. I know you can find the strength too.

When Alice's Sacrifice comes out I believe you will all be floored as you take the journey with Alice and Cole. Through the gray area of a world I hold so dearly close to my heart.
