First...are you going to be in New Orleans next week? I am! I’ll be at
the RT convention in New Orleans May 14th through the 18th.
There’s a huge book fair on Sat the 17th, and it’s open to the
public. Details are here: https://www.rtconvention.com/
News:
Well, there’s a lot—beginning with the release of my first ever independently published
ebook! I’m taking a lot of license when I use the word, ‘independent’. My
agent, the wonderful Nicole Resciniti, is helping me quite a bit. She hired a
NY editor with 15 years of experience to do a thorough edit. My fabulous cover
was made by the talented graphic artist, Holly Kennedy (who happens to be my
daughter.)
Fans were crying out for more cute covers like I had for the
Strange Neighbors series. Sometimes you have to ‘do it yourself’ to get the
result you (and your fans) really want.
Now I am called a “hybrid author.” I still write for
traditional publishers and my own
company, Imagination Unlimited.
I was able to send out an early unedited copy of my “Indie”
to a reviewer for a quote, and here it is!
“Entertainment abounds when a coven of witches whip up a few
spells to help their friend hold onto her bakery while losing her heart. Can a long distance romance work between a
cowboy and a baker if they believe in magic?”
--Dorine Linnen, Romance Junkies
And here are snippets from the first ten reviews on Amazon.com
“…how can you go wrong with witches & cupcakes???? I am
already hooked & this is just the first book. Can't wait for the next one.”

Just try to put it down after you start reading it! I double
dog dare you. If you can put it down it won't be for long. Every book Chase has
written leaves you begging for more. What are you waiting for? Stop reading my
review and get started. You'll be glad you did. :)

Ashlyn Chase has the most amazing unique ability to put a
recipe together to make an EPIC Book! A book that has just the right amount of
ingredients! Paranormal, Romance, Comedy & YUMMY FOOD all blended together
perfectly to come up with this amazing story!

I absolutely loved this book. Not only does it have comedy
but also a great story. I fell in love w/all the characters….This is a new
series by the wonderful Ashlyn Chase. If you loved her other books like Strange
Neighbors, Werewolf Upstairs, & Vampire Next Door. I guarantee you will
love this one…Just go buy the book & dive into the bewitching bakery. :)

Maranda, Amazon reviewer
Ashlyn Chase has done it again! I feel bad that I have set
up such high expectations for this author but with every book she releases she
not only meets my elevated expectations she exceeds them… She transports me to
a place where I suspend my disbelief and just let go… I loved the full cast of
characters I met in the first book of this new series. I cannot wait to read
more about them all.

Roman Goddess
This was the best combination of some of my favorite things
in paranormal romance…Ashlyn Chase has outdone herself with this one…
I would definitely recommend this book to anyone looking for
a story that will keep you interested…

Wendy, reviewer for Wicked Wolves and Dreaming Dragons
Ashlyn Chase Has done it again! I’m telling you I have never
picked up one of her books and been disappointed…The Cupcake Coven is not any
different. I love the story and the characters perfect mix of paranormal and
romance, for any reader.

LorettaLynn, Amazon reviewer
Another great book from a fantastic author. The cover brings
you in and the characters are great. I can't wait for the next one.

Mary Mitchell, Amazon reviewer
Ok, Ashlyn Chase fans. The new series is here! If you have
read her other books, then you know that it will have some suspense, some comic
moments, and romance. If you haven't read any of her books, well what are you
waiting for?...Plenty of good secondary characters for support, throw in some
magic and a great story is had by all.

I also have news re: my traditionally published books.
I just signed a contract for two more novels in the Flirting
with Fangs series! Here’s the announcement in Publisher’s Weekly:
Ashlyn Chase's fourth and fifth books in her paranormal
romance FLIRTING WITH FANGS series, featuring sexy displaced dragons from
Ireland relocating to Boston where they find friends, family and love, to Cat
Clyne at Sourcebooks, in a nice deal, in a two-book deal, for publication in
Spring 2015, by Nicole Resciniti at The Seymour Agency.
And did I mention the first two books in that series are
available in Audio?
Thank you to everyone who supports my career, regardless of
the direction it takes! Where would I be without you? Probably holed up in my
writing cave, wishing someone would read and enjoy my wackadoodle imagination. No
big blog tour this time, but I’ll blog with a few special friends and you can
find those dates and links, plus up to the minute news here: http://ashlynchase.blogspot.com/
So excited for more Flirting with Fangs, Ash! And the Cupcake Coven looks like a lot of fun, too. Cheers!
ReplyDeleteCongrats on your success, glad to see more of your very cute covers as well! Have fun at the conference.
