The Distant Shore - Thanks Amazon!
Well, Amazon jumped the gun and released The Distant Shore 2 weeks early on 1/3/2012. That would be bad news, except the book sold out in a matter of hours and the book even made their bestseller list that day. The buzz about the book is building and reviews are already starting to show up, all five stars so far!
In other related news: We signed Mariam Kobras, the author of The Distant Shore (the first book in the Stone Trilogy) to a two-book deal on January 4th.
Be sure to check out her new blog site where she's hosting other new authors. But, before you go, take a break and read the first four chapters of her book below:
Mariam's book is a contemporary romance with a light twist of suspense . . . There are only two things Jon really wanted from life: to be a famous singer, and to find the right girl. The first he achieves through talent and perseverance, the second he finds when a set of lyrics reaches him, and the author turns out to be the girl of his dreams . . . Have we hooked you yet? You can Pre-order it on Amazon NOW! You won't want to miss it!
