My week at Blue Heaven (and my conversations with the smart people there) gave me renewed energy for ebooks. I decided to finally put two of my humorous YA short stories online, and to re-cover my first novel, JADE TIGER, so it reads more clearly as romantic suspense. As soon as I have a few more hours, I’ll sign up with Smashwords and get these up on the remaining platforms.

Monstrous Love (A Bulfinch High Story) by Jenn Reese Monstrous Love (A Bulfinch High Story)
by Jenn Reese

$0.99 on Kindle and Nook.

High school’s not easy for the son of Pygmalion and Galatea. For starters, he’s made of stone. And terrible with girls. And terrible at just about everything else, too. But when a mysterious new girl shows up, he’ll do just about anything to get her attention… including facing the deadly Sphinx. [4500 words, humorous young adult fantasy]

Angst in D Minor (A Bulfinch High Story) by Jenn Reese Angst in D Minor (A Bulfinch High Story)
by Jenn Reese

$0.99 on Kindle and Nook.

Starting life at a new school is hard enough, but if you’re a siren who’s been raised by man-eating monsters, it’s a little rougher than most. Callie knows what she needs to do: keep her head down, get good grades, and above all, don’t sing. But when pretty-boy Pedar enters the scene, she has to fight more than one primal urge…or Pedar might end up dinner dead. [3200 words, humorous young adult fantasy]

JADE TIGER by Jenn Reese JADE TIGER
by Jenn Reese

$2.99 on Kindle and Nook.
More information

Shan Westfall is on a mission to recover five mystical jade animals before they fall into the wrong hands.

Over fifteen years ago, Shan’s mother led a secret society of female martial artists sworn to protect the statues. When the Jade Circle lost four of the five statues during a murderous attack on their sanctuary, twelve-year-old Shan’s destiny was sealed. It was she who carried the remaining tiger statue all the way to America; she who felt it clawing at her with the need to recover the crane, snake, leopard, and dragon. The Circle was destroyed that night, and Shan hasn’t seen her mother since.

Shan has grown up under the tiger’s unforgiving influence and the shadow of her mother’s legacy. Her quest to recover the statues takes her to upstate New York and Ian Dashall, a geeky but brave archaeology professor, and then on to France and England with Ian at her side. Finally, on a secret island off the coast of Hong Kong, Shan overcomes torture, betrayal, and deadly tigers in order to battle the man who destroyed the Jade Circle. But even as she faces off with him, she loses hope. How can she possibly succeed where her mother had failed?

May 3, 2013

On April 30th, Above World was advertised on Amazon as the Kindle Teens Daily Deal, and the price was reduced to $1.99. Here’s what happened. A few weeks ago, my publicist at Candlewick let me know that Above World had been selected. I have no idea how that process worked, only that we were all [...]

This upcoming weekend, March 30-31, I’ll be at WonderCon in Anaheim.

Herb Garden, Season 2

March 17, 2013

Last summer I planted my very first herb garden (see “Herb Adventure” for all the exciting details). I absolutely loved growing my own herbs. I loved the way they looked on the porch — easily visible from the main room where I spend all my time — and I found myself cooking more often because [...]

March 12, 2013

The second book in my Above World series officially makes its way into the world today, but before I get to that, I want to talk about Bridget Zinn and her YA debut Poison, also releasing today. Bridget died from cancer in May 2011 at the age of 33, before getting to see her debut [...]

UK Cover for Above World!

January 29, 2013

Above World releases in the UK on April 4th from Walker, and here’s the cover! Personally, I find it fascinating to see which elements of the US cover they chose to emphasize or de-emphasize. For example, the distinction between the underwater realm and the “above world” is very evident with a strong horizon line. May [...]

Cover Design Update & Hiatus

January 11, 2013

2012 was a great year for my cover design business, Tiger Bright Studios. I worked on so many fun and challenging covers for so many extremely talented writers. The gallery is missing the latest 5 covers I’ve done, but I’ve updated it with almost everything else, including a new section for print covers. I don’t [...]

ICEFALL, Norse Mythology, and Me

January 7, 2013

I have no intention of becoming a book reviewer, but I do want to start talking about books that I’ve read more often. Instead of a review, you’re likely to get a ramble about the book, my emotional state while reading it, or whatever tangents I feeling like exploring. The first book I read in [...]

2013: Looking Forward

January 1, 2013

I’m still processing everything that happened in 2012: the debut of Above World, the audiobook, the signings and book clubs and events, the reviews and fan art, turning in the third book of the trilogy… plus all the difficult stuff that, frankly, sometimes seems to overwhelm the good. But instead of going into that now, [...]
