Baby news and Hearts of Shadow ARC giveaway

A month ago I gave birth to a beautiful, healthy baby boy! He is a tiny munchkin, but is growing fast. I haven’t been online much in the past month because we’ve been doing the desperate “sleep, baby, sleep!” routine. Tiny baby, giant lungs. It’s amazing he hasn’t woken up his big sister in the middle of the night yet. She is still enjoying being a big sister and loves to give the baby kisses. She calls him, “our baby.” It’s pretty cute.

Audiobook release & giveaway!

Exciting news: the audiobook of Hearts of Darkness released yesterday! You can now buy the mp3 CD from Amazon and Blackstone Audio and the mp3 download from Audible.

Who is the narrator? I can answer this one! The fabulous Xe Sands, who narrated Jacquelyn Frank’s Nightwalker books and is also local to Seattle. She knows Ballard and has toured the chocolate factory that was… Read more »

Announcement: Audio book in production!

I’m happy to announce that Blackstone Audio has purchased the audio rights to Hearts of Fire and Hearts of Darkness, with Xe Sands narrating. I’ve had the pleasure of speaking with Ms Sands on the phone, and I absolutely love her voice. It’s going to be so much fun to listen to her narrate the books! Knowing she might (hopefully) narrate the rest of the series, I keep thinking about reading the sentences out loud as I’m working on Hearts of Chaos (Deadglass #3). I tweeted, “Am tempted to write things like, ‘The gaslight glinted off the gears and tempered… Read more »
