First things first . . . I’d like to give a shout out for my author buddy, Tyrean Martinson, and the first release in her brand new YA Christian fantasy trilogy (how CoOl is that?!), Champion in the Darkness – The Champion Trilogy, now available on Amazon for only $3.99! What a deal!!!
Clara is younger than most trainees, but she is ready to hold a Sword Master’s blade. While visions and ancient prophecies stand in her way, they also offer a destiny unlike any other. Clara is aided by a haunted mentor, Stelia, whose knowledge of their enemy Kalidess is both a bane and a blessing. As evil threatens their land, Clara and Stelia must find the strength to overcome the darkness!
DOESN’T THAT SOUND A*W*E*S*O*M*E?!?!
And in other news–my 18 Things blog tour continues. Here are the stops since the last time I posted, in case you missed the links on Twitter or Facebook!
Joylene Butler decided to post her own 18 Things despite missing the blogfest. I say, better late than never!
Sharon Sant had me answer this question: Why I Love YA
The Autumn Review was nice enough to give me a shout-out and post an excerpt (Have I ever mentioned that book bloggers are my heroes?!)
And today I’m kicking back with an interview with my main characters, Olga and Nate, on Nancy S. Thompson’s blog
*Only 8 more stops to go! Now, how is this affecting my sales? Hard to tell . . . it’s 188,098 in rank for paperback on Amazon and 59,815 in rank for the Kindle. So, could be loads better, but it also could be worse!
Thanks for all your support! I’ll see you around the blogosphere this week, and don’t forget to check out Tyrean’s new release *throws confetti*
Jamie Ayres 
Yeah for Tyrean!
Caught both Nancy and Joylene’s posts today.
Like Alex, I saw your post at Nancy’s blog. And Tyrean’s cover has been all over the place today. It’s awesome.
I like turning things over every once in a while!
Yes, late is better than never! Congrats on the release.
Congrats to Tyrean. And to you, too! That’s not bad ranking.
Thanks so much for purchasing my book. I hope it helps.
Congrats to both of you! So wonderful to share the library author-panel with you on Wednesday, Jamie. You’re so upbeat and enthusiastic….good memories.
Awesome interviews! Such a huge fan of you and your work. 🙂
