Celebrating My Book Deal With Great Friends

Two of my fabulous CPs are giving away AWESOME books while celebrating my book deal for TANGLED TIDES. (In case you missed that epic news you can read my original announcement here.)

BUT, if you want to win ENTWINED by Heather Dixon visit Natalie Bahm's blog.

If you'd like to win SIREN'S STORM by Lisa Papademetriou, or SWEET VENOM by Tera Lynn Childs visit Alexandra Shostak's blog.

I'm giving away SEVEN TEARS INTO THE SEA by Terri Farley. (Just leave a comment and be a follower/supporter to win.)

Notice a trend? My YA paranormal/fantasy romance is about mermaids, selkies, gorgons AND sirens (yes, some people think sirens and mermaids are the same thing, but not in my twisted take on the legends!) who get tangled up in some serious underwater drama.

Natalie and Alexandra are giving away books that give a different take on fairytales and legends too! Some even have sea creature peeps! So go enter! And thanks for celebrating with me! xo


(The photo is one of my most favorite artworks ever. Mermaid Tea Party by Jim Warren. I've seen it in person at the Wyland Gallery at Disney World and it's so amazingly beautiful and precious. If Natalie, Alexandra and I were still kids, and mermaids, this is what we look like while we celebrated.)

  2. Hey Karen.. congratulations on your book deal.

    I love stories about mermaids and selkies and sea creatures. Is this a YA/Paranormal romance by the way? No matter, mermaid stories are super cool.

    Congrats again... BTW, I love your blog background.. =)

  4. I just read the synopsis for Tangled Tides on Facebook somewhere..

    Super excited. Oh, will you be writing a series then or is this a standalone? This is really.. making me very happy.

    Thanks Karen!

    The mermaid tea party is ADORABLE! I think maybe I'll have to write some MG mermaids one day.

  7. Congratulations on the book deal! I wish you more success in the future.

    I love stories featuring mythical beings/creatures, and I've always loved being in the water. So your book sounds like it's right up my alley. :)

  8. I seriously cannot wait to read this. It's going to be awesome. Also, I love it when other people consider sirens and mermaids as separate beings. :)

  10. Congratulations again, Karen! I'm very happy for you, and encouraged by your success. I have quite a few Facebook friends from my high school days that are big YA fantasy readers, so I'll be pimping your book out when it hits the shelves :)

  11. Oh, I love a good paranormal romance, no matter what the paranormal aspect is, but I've yet to read a mermaid novel, Karen.

    Can't wait to read Tangled Tides, but STitS (oh, maybe I should have spelled that out. The acronym looks naughty) sounds like a satisfying read, too!

    Thanks for a fun contest! I'll have to check out the other links!
