New Free Short Story :)

The House
by Heather Marie Adkins

Susan is appalled when she moves back home after college to find her parents are packing the family off to Florida--to her Gran’s empty ancestral home.

The place is a mess, but it goes beyond the aesthetic--there is something even more frightening in the house than they ever imagined, and it’s deeply intertwined in their family’s past.

Some of her ancestors aren’t quite gone, and they’re determined to play out their anger to the bitter end, despite the home’s new inhabitants.

She can only hope her family will make it out alive.

The Temple
by Heather Marie Adkins

Vale Avari has a mysterious past and a laundry list of super-powers, but that's nothing compared to what she finds upon moving from small town U.S.A to jolly-good England.

A chance dart throw lands her in Quicksilver, an off-the-map place with a big problem - people are dying, and word is, it's supernatural.

At her new place of employment, a temple dedicated to the ancient Mother Goddess, Vale learns something even more shocking - women guards are disappearing at an alarmingly patterned rate; women who possess special gifts like her own.

Supernatural powers aside, Vale isn't ready to believe in the Wild Hunt as the culprit, and she's determined to prove the deaths are acts of human violence.

Plagued by a brute with a history of domestic violence and lusting after a dark-eyed man with a secret, Vale has a limited amount of time to discover the killer before he strikes again. In the process, she'll learn things aren't always what they seem and the supernatural might not be so extraordinary after all.

The Hunt could ride for her.

MY FIRST NOVEL!

THE NOVEL IS LIVE!!

It’s only a first edition, because the real cover wasn’t done on time.  My sister is going to do a lovely watercolor for me, so that will replace this one eventually.  Until that time, I just had to do it.  I couldn’t wait any longer to put it out there.

My first publication

One week ago, I took the plunge.  I released my debut short story, Underneath, for FREE at Smashwords.

In it's first week, Underneath has been downloaded 150 times and has received three reviews - 2 5-star reviews and 1 4-star reviews.  One reviewer stated "the characters came alive" and another says "the plot was really good and suspenseful till the very end."

It is still totally free and will remain so.  Go check it out here!

A big thanks to three reviewers - they've all made my week :)

Another Author on the Verge of Self-Publishing

We are a dime a dozen on Blogger, I know.  I'm starting this blog mainly to "follow" the other Indie authors I've met who utilize Blogger, because my real blog doesn't give me that option.  Who knows, maybe this blog will help me network my fiction, too :) 

To keep this blog up to date, I'll be posting links to my real blog on a regular basis, as well as keeping it informed on updates in my writing.

My first novel, The Temple, is set for release on June 20th.  Check back for release of the cover art as well as an upcoming book trailer.

I can be found (almost) daily here.
