Hello everyone! Happy Saturday! Got some goodies for you and hope you love them!
1. FreshFiction (yep, that awesome FreshFiction) is doing an exclusive interview with Aiden today, where he gives hints on the sequel and answers your questions. Many of you submitted questions for Aiden and we tried to answer as many as we could that wouldn’t spoil the sequel or that kept the interview within word limits. Here is a sneak peak (with Gandy as Aiden even though he’s wearing a suit, because, why not?)and you can read the full one here
Ani Keating: (plopped on a beanie bag at an undisclosed location, wearing flannel pajamas.) Hey Aiden, thank you for coming here today.
Aiden Hale: (sitting in a winged armchair, ankle over his knee, wearing torn up jeans instead of the customary charcoal suit, and glaring at Ani with wrathful eyes.) I didn’t do it for you. I’m doing it for your readers.
AK: I know, I know—you’re mad at me because of what I did in THIRTY NIGHTS. But really, don’t you think it’s best if people face their worst fears in the end?
AH: (attractive snort) No!
AK: How can you not agree with that?
AH: Very simple. Your theory is making the person I love the most in the world suffer. I have no respect for any principle or author that causes her pain.
AK: I’m assuming you’re talking about Elisa.
AH: I’m assuming that’s not a serious question.

2. FreshFiction is running a giveaway for Thirty Nights and have created an exclusive page for it. It will be up for four days. Another signed copy of Thirty Nights — get them before they run out. I’m almost out of author copies now. Enter the FreshFiction giveaway here
3. Excerpt & News: As some of you know, Samhain Publishing, my publisher has decided to close its doors. Although this saddens me because they were a great publisher, I want to assure you that NINETY DAYS – the sequel – is still on and it will still come out this year (hopefully Spring). THIRTY NIGHTS will continue to be on sale during the wind-down process, and after that, I will make sure it remains available as well. Below is a tiny excerpt from the sequel–more will follow soon.
NINETY DAYS EXCERPT
I fling my eyes open, feeling a gust of warm, cinnamon-scented breath on my neck. He’s here. He’s here. A cloud of body heat rises around me, melting all ice, fueling all fire. I turn to find him but the only thing standing out in the darkness are his sapphire eyes. They stir and brew as his trademark tectonic plates shift along with his memories.
“Aiden?” I gasp, his name whooshing like a spurt of life.
He’s here. He’s here. He holds both of his hands open, as though he is trying to show me something invisible. The sapphire light of his eyes fractures on his skin, emitting an Aurora Borealis. He does not smile but his irises darken. He leans his forehead against mine and closes his eyes.
“Be happy,” he murmurs.
Can you guess what this is? – Love you all and be back with more. xo Ani
So I know your publisher just folded…so when’s the estimated arrival of 90 days. Notice I said “estimated” 😉
Yes, that was really unexpected. I am still hoping for May. I don’t want my readers to have to wait much longer. 🙂
