What do you know about Kindle World?
Kindle World is an imprint of Amazon Publishing that pays authors to write and publish stories inspired by popular series. These series could be books or TV series. I believe there are about 72 established kindle worlds. Some are from indie giants like J. A. Konrath, Hugh Howey, and Barbara Freethy, romance favorites like Bella Andre and H. M. Ward. Then you have worlds inspired by popular TV series like Gossip Girls, Pretty Little Liars, Vampire Diaries, Veronica Mars...
When KW first approached me, I thought they were asking me to write in someone's world and my first response was NOT INTERESTED. I'm too busy my projects, I e-mailed them back. I'd never even heard of Kindle World. But like any business woman, I did my research. The problem was I did it after sending that short, sorry, I'm not interested e-mai. Yeah, I know. Never ask an author to do something else when she's listening to voices in her head. Damn pirates.
Anyway, the more I researched the more I was intrigued. Just as I was about to shoot the rep another e-mail, I received one explaining that they didn't want me to write in someone's world, but to have other write in my world.
Color me wowed. Humbled. Hyperventilating.
I'm a smallish fish in the big pond known as publishing. So I set up that first phone call and I listened and asked questions. And the more I listened, the more I loved the idea. And here we are.
I'm happy to account it is OFFICIAL. Runes Series is going to have its Kindle World and the launch is April 2017.
Imagine more stories. More Valkyries. More Grimnirs. More angry souls that need help from our medium. More Mortals that need help from gifted Witches. More orphans with abilities, which include the ability to shape shift.
I can't wait to see what stories these amazing writers are gong to come up with. STAY TUNED... You'll meet the authors next.

GODDESS (Runes Book 7): Coming 2017 #RunesSeries #Goddess #Echo #Cora
GODDESS Excerpt (unedited)
“Treat the house as yours, just stay out of my bedroom and closet. These are
loaners.” He dropped the clothes on the bed and glanced at our joined hands, his eyes narrowing. “He doesn’t need you to change,
does he?” Then he walked out.
I stared after him and sighed. The look on Dev’s face said he was
going to have a thing or two to say to his brother before the week was over.
“Moron,” Rhys said.
“I second that.” Nara looked at me. “If you want me to kick his ass
for you, let me know. He doesn’t like to hit girls, which puts him at a disadvantage.”

BANNED BOOKS ANYONE? Now Available: SOULS by @ednahwalters from bestselling #runesseries
As an author, I have serious beef with people banning books, so I always participate in this hop. This year is doubly special because it is right before the release of my next book, SOULS.
Did you know that Harry Potter books were banned by so many mayors and heads of school districts? Why? because it teaches kids witchcraft. I wonder what they'd say about my series, which tells readers to believe Norse gods and goddesses are real, and when we die, reapers from Asgard and Hel come to get our souls regardless of your nationality and race.
Anyone who's read the RUNES SERIES, bestselling Norse mythology series ever and a topseller in YA Paranormal Romance knows that GRIMNIRS is Cora's story . It is a spinoff RUNES (Raine/Torin's story) and is considered New Adult. However, I'll always publish clean versions for reader who enjoy both girls' journeys to find true love and doesn't like the level of heat in the original GRIMNIRS books.
The winner of this hop will get:
1) $10 to buy a banned book
2) kindle-copies of all my books.
1) $10 to buy a banned book
2) kindle-copies of all my books.
This giveaway is International.

BIR2013: RUNES by Ednah Walters and get your hands on the three Runes books
.png)
HOSTED
BY
BOOKS COMPLETE ME
Mindy's final choice of BIR2013 is RUNES
THIS IS WHAT Mindy HAD TO SAY:
I have been a HUGE fan of Ednah for several years now. Ednah has written so many book series that I have totally fallen in love with. Runes fell quickly into that same category. Ednah Walters has a gift of writing a story that pulls you in and won't let you go. I highly suggest you check out not only her Runes series but all the other series out there.
ENTER THE GIVEAWAY HERE
Here a message to my readers
Here a message to my readers
First, I want to thank you, the fans, for your amazing support: the shout-outs on social media, the endless e-mails asking for the next book, reviews (good and angry ones), word-of-mouth PR, and posts about the Runes series. The response has been amazing and the support heartwarming.
You, my loyal fans, have made this series successful. Because of you, Torin was nominated for the YA Crush Tourney a month after the release of Runes and did amazingly well for a new book crush. I hope you enjoyed meeting Echo in Grimnirs. He's definitely giving Torin a run for his money.
When
I started this series last year I did it out of a dare to finish a book in 4
weeks during the Nano month. Runes was fun and flirty. I giggled as I wrote
most of the scenes and fell in love with all the characters.
The
first book was all about Torin and Raine finding each other and love, and of
course, Raine learning some cool things about herself. This is going to be a
long journey for her. Book 2, Immortals, did not lack in the love department because these
two have a love that comes once in a lifetime but they have to fight to be
together. But Immortals is also about Raine coming to terms with what she will
one day become. She is more important than anyone imagines and the choices
she makes are going to have some huge consequences. Nothing will be what it
seems, friends will be more than what they are on the surface, and enemies will
surprise you, but don't get angry because things always work out when dealing with true love.
The
things I have planned for this series are big and exciting, and I can't wait to
share them with you. SEERESS, (book #3-Raine and Torin’s story continues), will
be out in spring of 2014. (add your name to the linky below to participate in the cover reveal) In between the installments in the Raine and Torin’s
saga, I will write a book focusing on a secondary character. I call them my guilty
pleasures. These will be full-length romance novels like Grimnirs-Cora’s
story. Just like Echo, there’s so much about these guys we don’t know about
(I’m serious. They only reveal things to me when I write about them). I still
have stories to write for Blaine, Eirik, Viggo (this arrogant god needs to be humbled by a mere Mortal methink), Ingrid, and of course, Andris .

Seventeen-year-old Raine Cooper has enough on her plate dealing with her father’s disappearance, her mother’s erratic behavior and the possibility of her boyfriend relocating. The last thing she needs is Torin St. James—a mysterious new neighbor with a wicked smile and uncanny way of reading her.
Raine is drawn to Torin’s dark sexiness against her better judgment, until he saves her life with weird marks and she realizes he is different. But by healing her, Torin changes something inside Raine. Now she can’t stop thinking about him. Half the time, she’s not sure whether to fall into his arms or run.
Scared, she sets out to find out what Torin is. But the closer she gets to the truth the more she uncovers something sinister about him. What Torin is goes back to an ancient mythology and Raine is somehow part of it. Not only is she and her friends in danger, she must choose a side, but the wrong choice will cost Raine her life.

Immortals (Book 2)
Blurb
Nothing can stop Raine Cooper when she wants something…
Raine finally knows that her gorgeous neighbor, Torin St. James, is a legend straight out of Norse mythology, and that her feelings for him are strong. Torin is crazy about Raine too, breaking the one rule he lives by: Never fall for a mortal. The problem is he no longer remembers her, his memories erased by Norns—Norse destiny deities—to punish her for defying them.
So Raine comes up with a plan…
She will make Torin forget his one rule a second time and fall in love with her all over again. But she quickly learns that well-laid plans do not work when dealing with deities and supernatural beings. Desperate, Raine makes choices that could not only tear her and Torin further apart, but lead to the destruction of everything and everyone she loves.
Grimnirs (Book 2.5) Blurb
Straight out of the psyche ward, Cora just wants her life to be normal. She doesn’t want to see souls or the reapers collecting them. The love of her life, the guy she’s loved from a distance for years, has moved away without saying goodbye. So yes, she’s nursing a serious heartbreak. It’s no wonder love is the last thing on her mind when Echo storms into her life.
The chemistry between them is mind-blowing. The connection defies logic. It doesn’t help that Echo is the poster boy for everything she hates in a guy—hot, beautiful, and cocky. A general pain-in-the-butt. Being around him makes her feel more alive than she’s ever felt before. But more important, the souls leave her alone when he is around.
Echo is perfect for her. Echo might even be her soul-mate. There is only one problem. Echo is a freaking soul reaper. A Grimnir. The very beings she wants out of her life. Maybe normal is overrated because Cora wants it all. Answers. Love. A life. You see, once you fall for a Grimnir, your life will never be the same again.
Awakened (Book 1)
Awakened is prequel to the Guardian Legacy Series

When the boy she loves starts acting strangely and one of her human friends acquires a supernatural ability, Lil begins to realize that someone is manipulating the people she loves… and won’t stop until she’s been lured to the dark side.
