My first novel 12 Years, 7 Months ago

I have officially released my first novel *does a happy dance . . . then crumbles in a heap of nervous excitement*. It is available in eBook format at Amazon.com. Please, if you enjoy my fanfictions, or are a fan of the paranormal romance/urban fantasy genre, consider giving it a look.
Content warning intended readership is mature teen and older, so as per Dokuga's rating system, it would most likely fall into the T/M range. While there is nothing necessarily 'over the top' in this first volume of the series, the upcoming books are intended to be darker and/or contain scenes of *Capital M* Mature content, fitting the M/MA rating(therefore, when said upcoming novels are available, I will not be promoting them here on Dokuga, as I would not want the site to get in trouble) so I ask that readers exercise both good judgment & a bit of caution.
The Summoned, Tales of the Phantom Court: Book One, Part I
My name's Brianna Winters, and at the ripe old age of eighteen ... I died. Wait, there's more. I was resurrected by the- insanely hot- Demon Kai-Yun only to find out, along with him being Bound to me- whatever that's supposed to mean- that upon said resurrection I'd become initiated into a world that has always existed, but that so few ever truly see.
Absolutely friggin' perfect.
Now I'm just trying to balance my old normal life with my new supernatural one. Not an easy feat when I have a nosy, terminally ill-timed best friend, my label-happy, touchy-feely Demon and an inherent Sensitivity to Mystical energies. A trait which, by the way, seems to have supernatural creatures crawling out of the woodwork to try to take advantage of- whether I like it or not.

I thought I would take the time to review Freya's new novel. Ever since she mentioned it, both on her Facebook and on Dokuga, I have been eagerly waiting for its publication. I am a HUUUUGE fan of Freya's fanfictions and I knew that her original fiction would be just as good! Freya is a really talented writer so I simply couldn't wait and I think I literally flooded her news feed with my excitement and impatience for her novel.
The day it came out, I rushed to Amazon to buy it and I wouldn't even be surprised if I was her first buyer. lol. The eBook is not expensive at all and once I found the time to sit down and read it, I couldn't put it down. I ended up reading it in one sitting, sacrificing much needed sleep and shoving aside my restaurant paperwork in favor of finishing her novel.
It is wonderful! From character chemistry to humor to action and being thrust into the supernatural world, it is amazing and totally Freya's style. If you enjoy reading her fanfictions, then you would definitely enjoy reading her eBook.
The first thing I did after reading the last page was to send Freya a message somewhere along the lines of: "AUTUMN?! YOU WANT ME TO WAIT UNTIL AUTUMN FOR THE CONTINUATION?! ARE YOU TRYING TO KILL ME WITH SUSPENSE?!" LOL.
But truly, it is amazing and you HAVE to give it a try. *Nods*

Well, I think your husband SHOULD have been first... or else there might have been some problems for him. >___>; So, I was second by default, which means I am still technically the first. HAH.

Congrats! I don't know if you're aware, but Barnes and Noble has PubIt!, a service like the one through amazon. Just in case you wanted to branch out...
(and those of us with nooks can look for it too, hehe)

I looked at B&N first, actually. . . . . But pubit seemed to prefer me having an ISBN for the book- something that would cost money I just don't have (this was before a friend of mine directed me to a discount ISBN site a few days ago). I will be bringing it over to B&N also, but I'm locked into kdp (KindleDirectPublishing) for the first 3 months of availability as part of their KDP Select program (it includes a free 5 day promotion of the work [which I really need to get around to setting up, lol] and receiving a share of profits when the book is borrowed from their lending library).

You guys are the greatest friends & readers anyone could ask for *huggles*.
And I'm sorry about the Autumn time estimate, but I was worried that if I said summer I might not have the next part complete in time, seeing as RL has such a pesky habit of getting in the way.
On the bright side, though, if it's finished in time, I'm planning on publishing it on the Autumn Equinox, so it'll literally be available the first day of Fall.
